If you think meth should be permitted because the government schedules it any particular way, all I can say is
WHATEVER.
Why dont you tell all those children I see whose parents are not employees of the month, how it is prohibitions fault?
Why dont you tell those displaced tenants who had their apartment destroyed by fire caused by exploding makeshift
"labs" that it is the governments fault?
Tell those people contending with darkened streets because of relentless copper thefts, and other scrap metal drives
that cause magnitudes more in damage than they recover down at the crooked recycling center its just a prohibition issue?
Why dont you blame a not insignificant percentage of homelessness on prohibition?
God knows those prostitutes could do a lot better if their habits and their activities were legal.

I cant believe anyone here would defend a substance that is so completely destructive and addictive.
but hey, its a free country.
unless you want to grow some weed.
