The threat of being thrown in jail is not a “deterrent at worst.” If drugs hasn’t ruined someone’s life then being thrown in jail and having a permanent criminal record that limits most job opportunities most certainly will. As for “If its legal to do drugs, more people will do it. More lives will be ruined” is completely false and has been proven false in countries that decriminalized strong drugs. Of course prohibitionists don’t like facts, they prefer raw emotion and SHOUTING IN CAPS to make a point.
