And I think we’re too tolerant of them considering the damage they do to society, so I would make the consequences more severe than they are. Probably naïve in thinking that’s going to happen.
I've even heard some espouse execution for drug users. I'm not saying that's what you're talking about, but making penalties for drugs more severe than murder or rape or armed robbery.. that's crazy.
At least with CO and WA relaxing the pot laws, I feel we're going to be making progress in being a bit more civilized about this, not simply punitive. Punishment hasn't worked too well.
