| All ethical people want the murders to end. Making the sale of drugs legal would lead to increased competition in the drug market and would greatly reduce the profitability of selling drugs, and would also have the effect of eliminating the adversarial relationships between drug sellers, government, and the general population.However, making the sale of drugs legal would greatly increase the availability of drugs, such that marijuana, heroin, cocaine, etc, could be purchased as easily as alcohol or cigarettes. Even if the government imposed an age limit, as it does for the purchase and consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, most young people would have easy access to drugs (just as young people can get cigarettes or alcoholic drinks from older friends). So, people of all ages will be doing drugs in addition to drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes.We all know that some people can become alcoholics and that some people will die from smoking-related illnesses. But as a society we decided that the freedom to drink and smoke is more important than the bad consequences. Also, prohibiting alcohol resulted in the formation of murderous criminal organizations, motivated and sustained by the profits of distributing and selling alcohol.Legalizing marijuana seems like it would greatly damage the murderous drug-selling organizations in Mexico, and would significantly reduce the murder rate there, and would greatly reduce the burden to law enforcement and to society. A wide, legal availability of marijuana would likely result in many more people consuming marijuana. Although it is generally accepted that people under the influence of marijuana are calm and harmless, people under the influence of marijuana might be more likely to cause car accidents, and long-term users of marijuana might be less productive in society, and might become a burden to society, and might have diminished ability to make reasonable decisions when voting. Many people enjoy consuming marijuana without exhibiting any obvious long-term impairment, but impairment while under the influence and on a long-term basis will inevitably lead to marijuana users adversely affecting the lives of people who choose to not consume marijuana. Simply advocating the legalization of marijuana to reduce violent crime, without significant evidence to support the belief that society will be improved instead of harmed, is shortsighted or reckless.I think that legalizing the sale of marijuana is a very promising and appealing idea. But before I would vote in support of such an idea I would want to see estimates of the various effects upon society. A limited, but large, experiment, such as letting a single, willing state, among the 50 United States, legalize marijuana, so that we could all observe the effects over a meaningful time period, such as 10 years, might produce very comforting evidence that legalizing marijuana is beneficial. I don't think using other countries where marijuana is already legal as examples would be good because we would have no reference by which to judge whether or not things got better or worse (for example, widespread moderate impairment, subtle reduced productivity, and subtle reduction of voting quality, might only be observable if we have an abrupt legalization of marijuana). But I think such an experiment in the U.S. would simply lead to the rapid end of the illegality of marijuana, because there would be so much marijuana export to neighboring states, and there would be so much jealousy of other states due to the huge tax revenue for selling marijuana, that even politicians would be begging to expand the experiment to the whole country.I predict that the sale of marijuana will be legal, and taxed, both in Mexico and in the U.S., within 5 or 10 years. My sense is that the adverse effects on society will be minimal, and the benefits will be significant. That is my hope, because I think that having marijuana be illegal is hurting more people than it is helping people.It is tempting to assign some of the blame for the thousands of murders to all of the people who purchase marijuana illegally, but I strongly believe in the GENERAL principle that people who merely offer to pay for, and possibly come to possess, objects, information, or services, are not themselves criminals. If society chooses to make certain objects, information, or services illegal, then I think that moral blame and legal punishments should only apply to people who create the illegal objects, or create the illegal information, or perform the illegal services. It is very dangerous for all to make possession itself, or an offer to pay itself, criminal. |

I saw a great anti-PETA sign the other day, it said "Ever had leprosy? Thanks to animal testing, you wont!".
If I can't also shoot myself there, I'm not nearly as interested.!

I like your critical thinking, but you really need to be sure that the context is right, and that the facts support your guess. Reading the article is sometimes a good start.

"I purchased a copy of the OS." No, you did NOT. Every retail copy of OS X is an UPGRADE, you must have a Mac with an OS installed on it to qualify to use the retail disc. Just because they don't have draconian DRM protecting everything (and huge props to them for not doing that) doesn't mean you can go violate their copyright.If you need a MS analogy.... Visual Studio can be purchased as stand alone (big $$), or as an upgrade(relatively cheap). The difference between the two products is that one checks for an existing VS install. Other than that, they are the same product. Does that give you the right to buy the Upgrade version, and trick it into installing without owning a prior version?
