If Handguns are OK, how about Drugs for self defense?
If guns are allowed for self defense, why not drugs?

Envision the scenario: Strung out drug addict is commiting break-in and robbery to get some petty cash for a fix.

You wake up and confront this person who is holding a gun at you. Is it really necessary to have a hand gun and kill him?

What if you pull out a stash to placate the robber's desires that are driving him to the criminal act?

Seems like a less dangerous defense than a gun or other fight, no?

I say drugs should be legalized as a form of self defense.

4. Wonderful idea, IMO you should arranged to get arrested for drug possession and hire a lawyer to
defend you on those grounds.

Have a good day, :hi:

8. Why not give them money, which they are looking for to buy drugs?
Edited on Thu Jun-26-08 02:38 PM by Oregone
Seems like thats what they are there for in the first place (and money is legal allready). It should make them just as happy. Im not sure I get the point here.

Legalizing drugs has better arguments than to give them to mean people who want them.

Further, what happens when you give drugs to the Christian robber who is looking for money to purchase male prostitutes with? You might piss him off and get shot.
