    You have a right to that opinion but the legal drugs do way more damage to society.

    And you're right; there's definitely a reason some things are legal/illegal and that reason is political interests.

    Not necessarily. Heroin and cocaine are illegal for obvious reasons. Pot, which I'll agree shouldn't be illegal, isn't legal for different reasons. But here's the deal. We know the consequences of our actions. Especially in this industry. It's severely anti-drug of any kind and in order to be in this industry you cannot partake. Simple as that. You wanna get high then that's on you. But don't expect to be driving if you get caught. At some point people have to be cognizant of the rules whether you like them or not. A career means a hell of a lot more than a party.

    Prescription pain killers alone outdid cocaine and heroin. I would hate to see alcohol and tobacco fatality rates.

    Now the rest, I wholeheartedly agree; responsibility still exist no matter what's legal or not.

    Ahhhhhh. Another red blooded Fox News watching brainwashed Amuuuuuuurican. Tell me the reason why alcohol is legal then smart guy? With all the lives destroyed and all the chaos it perpetrates upon our society. Tell me why alcohol is legal but a plant that grows from the ground which has infinitely less impact upon a persons life is illegal? ***crickets***. And if we are so "free", why do I have to pay for rights guarenteed me by the Constitution? Such as the right of locomotion (that's driving), and carrying a weapon? If a person has to pay for something, that's considered a privilage, not a right. Both of which can be taken at any time our lords and masters wish it.

    Heroin and cocaine shouldn't be illegal either they are illegal because it creates a whole lot of money for the establishment. They fight wars which are funded by corporations to protect poppy fields in Afghanistan. Then it creates jobs for those vessels shipping it in. Then once it's here, the cartels make vast amounts of money distributing it and kick back to the government. Then once its street level, the users get busted and fuel the prison industrial complex. I say legalize it all. Educate as to the effects and then those who choose to use it will die far quicker creating a "survival of the fittest" situation. Instead of robbing/stealing for money to pay for the high priced drug, legalize it and make it cheap. That way people can get as much as they want and die quickly. Instead of dragging out the process throughout their entire miserable lives. While also dragging their families along with them.

    I'd be more worried about trying to get leased onto a container hauler, you'll need a TWIC card and good luck when they do the background check.

    Vegan is cold but he makes a lot of sense.

    With all drugs legalized and cheap; it would not only create more jobs but it will stop the illegal drug trade right in its tracks. You can't beat the price and quantity of legal commodity and still gain a decent profit.
     
    Sneakerfix and VeganTrucker Thank this.
