Serious Question: Should Drugs Like Crack, Meth, Heroin, and Marijuana Be Available at the Corner Drug Store?

Question by John L: Serious Question: Should drugs like Crack, Meth, Heroin, and Marijuana be available at the corner drug store?
I am NOT endorsing recreational drug abuse. I think it is a waste of a life to be an addict. I just think if you are an addict or if you are young and want to experiment, you are going to get the drug so easily. Shouldn’t it be a safer product that benefits someone other than gangs and international drug growers and terrorists and smugglers?

Parents need to take responsibility for their kids and teach them the dangers of drugs just like with alcohol, trans fat, crossing the street, etc. We need to STOP believing that just because there are laws against drugs, our kids can’t get them.

Lets face it: school age kids can NOW get their hands on illegal drugs easier than cigarettes. If kids want to experiment with drugs, they can get them no so easy. I’d rather trust the pharmacist at Rite-aid to say no to my kid then the drug pusher or gang banger.

Tax money could be directed to high risk kids and free treatment! Drug Dealers & Gang Bangers put instantly out of business!
Wow- So many people in agreement. (or at least not in disagreement). I’m a little suprised. I kind of expected to be flamed by at least half. And some really thoughtful answers. I’ll be hard to pick a best answer here.
