I definitely agree. All drugs should be decriminalized. However, the only caveat to that is that the drug addicts might still be the same scum as they used to be and will mug other people to get money for a fix. I think this phase of the drug war is necessary to reduce the ratio of involved over non-involved in the drug trade. Furthermore, it's their own bodies, so let them fuck themselves up. Enforcing should be done when the drug users become violent and start hurting other people.

Shabu Should Be Decriminalized in the Philippines
Hi, @donlevon. Thanks for your feedback. I believe prohibition is inherently immoral and that pragmatic reasons for the drug war aren't enough to justify its continuation. Also, I don't think there's any evidence to support the notion that it reduces the ratio of involved over non-involved. However, I do agree that drug users should be dealt with forcefully only when they become violent toward other people. Aggression isn't always wrong. In the form of self-defense, for example, it's perfectly justifiable.
