Not sure what you're reading there.And yes, of COURSE I was using hyperbole. DUH.But I stand behind my personal experience (which spans a good portion of the western hemisphere in healthcare) that there are a shiteload of addicts and would-be addicts out there who would be at significantly more risk were many of the currently-illegal drugs legalized.I don't really care what you argue about other countries, the US is different in nearly every way than any of them. Even our closest northern neighbor has a citizenry which is demonstrably and fundamentally different than the American public in mindset. Call it what you want, but we're Americans, for good and for ill.As I've said before... my personal hands-on experience has shown me what a very large portion of the American public will do with no responsibility, free money and free healthcare. I don't need studies from Denmark or The Netherlands to tell me what Americans will do. I see it. Again... if you can prove to me that my personal experience on the front lines of America's addiction problem was all a figment of my imagination and that all these people are really just poor victims of the police state that is America, well, then you've likely slipped one of those mind-altering substances into my Diet Mt. Dew, I think.</blockquote>
