After all, all drugs are safe, have never ever been implicated in gang wars, there is no record that pushers of some addictive substances deliberately target school children and give them free samples till a dependance is forrmed is there? Drugs have never been the cause of crimes like burglary, muggings or shoplifting. No one has ever been killed because of drugs either. Silly me.

Wow, nice attempt at sarcasm. If it was legal to consume drugs, no one would smuggle them, much less use children to carry them. The Libertarian reasoning on this issue is correct: the people who support the current drug laws are actually the greatest defender of those nefarious drug dealers (discussed in the following video).

Pot, Kettle, Black as far as your 'Wow,nice attempt at sarcasm', comment goes.

And for the record: Arson doesn't primarily involve hurting people, so to use your own words, 'the comparison isn't valid'.

If you got your house burned down, I'd say it hurt you financially at least. And btw, my attempt at sarcasm was a little better than his(?).

I've kind of lost the run of this thread of the conversation, but I think the legalisation of drugs is a simplistic solution to a complicated problem. We should rather address what it is that makes our reality so truly awful for so many people that they chose to abdicate consciousness.

Well.... me being the organised and responsible adult I am - I have a little something known as buildings and contents insurance. I'd actually be better off if my house was razed given the my policy terms & coverage vs what the house cost me.

As I say, it's not a valid comparison in respect of patting down / searching children.
