Legalize Cocaine?

[Ebowed]

Do you support legalizing cocaine for recreational purposes?

Yes (D)

[Moooooo]

No.  Horrible, horrible drug.  Marijuana is a different story.

[A18]

Yes (R)

[patrick1]

Of course,  Cocaine is done by white people.  Crack is another story entirely...

[Richard]

Yes (R)  Let people screw themselves if they want to.

[Everett]

Having known a former cocaine addict, I am slightly reluctant to say this, but... Yes (L)

[MaC]

yup

[Filuwaúrdjan]

No. Absolutely not.

[Cubby]

No (D) I have never used drugs and they freak me out. Same reason straight people oppose gay marriage.

And I don't want Marijuana legalized either, but it is causing prison over-population so I guess something needs to change.

[opebo]

Yes, absolutely!  Really no different from coffee, anyway, and certainly none of the State's business.

[MODU]

No.  There are enough drunks on the roads.  No sense increasing the number of people who are high on the roads as well.  I pay enough for my car insurance alone.  I don't need it to rise due to the number of increased accidents.  Additionally, it will raise my health care expenses too (and I pay less than most of you in that department).  Legalizing drugs does not improve a situation, no matter how you want to spin it.

[MasterJedi]

No and hell no!

[Frodo]

No -cocaine has no redeeming qualities that marijuana is claimed to have.

Cocaine actually has one legal use in Germany, and small amounts of it are imported legally by Germany from the Andes every year. It's used as a local anaesthetic in some operations on the eye.

Having actually tried the stuff once and having felt no effect whatsoever, I'd say sure why not.
Knowing a lot of people who have tried it more often than once, and seeing that the effects on character tend to be rather negative, I'd say not sure.

[Joe Republic]

No, because cocaine addicts are usually pricks.  I would prefer not to be surrounded by them.

In fact, I wouldn't mind mixing up some bleach into the powder, so as to appropriately reward people for their idiocy.

[minionofmidas]

No, because cocaine addicts are usually pricks.  I would prefer not to be surrounded by them.

Yep, that's not at all wrong. The drug has a strong appeal to certain types - and worse, it may make people more like that.
Then again, is that a reason to outlaw it? That's like BRTD saying "smoking should be illegal because I don't smoke."

[Keystone Phil]

Yes, absolutely!  Really no different from coffee,

Oh, I can just see the family gatherings now. "Honey, can you bring in the cocaine, please? And don't confuse it with the sugar again because the kids had alittle too much fun last time."

[Democratic Hawk]

No (D)

No (D)

[Speed of Sound]

hhhhhhmmmm, yeah I suppose (D)

Let people screw themselves if they want to.

[nini2287]

No (D) though I have recently come around to believe in the legalization of marijuana

[Alcon]

Interesting results.  I'm surprised that the party breakdown is so similar, actually, to some extent.

[ilikeverin]

We shouldn't be legalizing marijuana, let alone cocaine.

the drug education programs from school have gone to your head.

Everything I learn in school is immediately sent to my brain in the form of 'fact', unless explicitly stated as an opinion

This attitude is also a lot of why I oppose drug legalization:

Let people screw themselves if they want to.
