Such an aspiration is a farce.

Might as well not bother with any legal system at all then.

The fact that someone is thrown into prison by chosing a lifestyle that effects only them is evil in the first place, and anything that reduces that is good.

I'd like to keep the govt out of peoples lives but methamphetamines is the 800lb gorilla of a problem that is ignored by anti-prohibitionist movement. I doubt it just affects the addict.

So, is your problem with smoked methamphetamine, because I do not think that smoking around people in an enclosed space or in public is necessarily a right -- or brewing dangerous chemicals in a residential area. Otherwise, the methamphetamine only effects the user.

At what dose is methamphetamines a problem? Do we know? Are lower doses "safe"?
Is it the method of production and the impurities that are present that causes the problem?

IMO to lambast drugs as they currently are should be compared with alcohol made from an illegal still. Then suddenly they appear to be surprisingly safe.

Even when something is legal the user is still responsible for their actions with it. I find it funny that a society where guns are legal and there is implicit trust you won't go on a massacre but drugs aren't - as people on drugs can be dangerous...

Guns are good. People kill people, not guns. Drugs and sex are bad. People can't be trusted with such potent things.

Methamphetamines more commonly known as speed is unsafe period. Its so highly addictive quitting is extremely difficult. The liberal 60s drug culture coined phrase 'speed kills'. If that isn't enough warning, I don't know what is.
