Question by blktan23: are drug laws unconstitutional?
This is kinda a backward Q. The sepreme court has said that abortions are constitutinally protected rights. People say because it is a “personal choice” and a “medical treatment” can drugs be considered the same thing? So if you have to be given an opportunity to have an abortion why cant you have to be given teh opportunity to take drugs.??

Best answer:

Answer by Scott L
The drug laws have stood up in court for a long time. Don’t hold your breath on this argument going anywhere.

Tex………I am one of the good guys. Unless you can point out some heinous activity to contradict this then just live with it.

When you buy drugs from your dealer then you’re supporting him/her and their followers and their customers. When you buy drugs you support home invasion, robbery, burglary, motor vehicle B&Es, larcenies, and other lesser crimes. While some individual drug users may not steal to support their habit the drug trade is riddled with those that do. Look up the stats on the number of people that are in prison that admitt to being high and or drunk at the time of their criminal activity.

Keep off the grass man.
