those numbers arnt right. 1gram of the opium we get is about 15 dollars so 1000 grams would be alot more then 90. also if they are talking about real opium not the synthetic shit we end up getting then it would be a hell of alot more then that. and although it is true that alot of cannibus users are in jail for things they shouldnt be there for which in turns wastes tax dollars, anyone who pushes heroin should be there. Alot of those statements are true, but alot of the are circumstantial evidence that have no real proof behind them like "people often times come out of jails more harmed or more harmful than before." Not to say i dont support legalization of cannibus but there are alot of things people dont take into account when they make that statement, for instance, during prohibition people wanted the legalization of alcohol, they got it, then they wanted legalization of weed, they got it. With that pattern couldnt the next thing be something that really is harmful, like heroin or crack? Basically what im saying is do your research ( ... )

I do see how people can become "more harmful" in jail but from my point of view, people who do become more harmful already had the potential to be that way, it has nothing to do with the physical act of being in jail ( ... )

about education, i realize taht dare was the worst shit ever. i never said that i supported taht kind of education, because dare isnt education in my opinion. they tell you to say no. they draw a picture of a brain on the board and say this is your brain, then they erase half and say this is your brain on nugs. its stupid shit, just abstinence preaching. i support harm reduction. peeps should recognize that kids are going to take drugs no matter what they say, and they should inform kids of the true risks, and they should educate kids in how to be safe and to do stupid shit, then overall the effect of education would be a lot more beneficial ( ... )

All good points but i still feel if the government cracked down on a singular drug like heroin instead of drugs as a whole then it will go down.
