BCJ2501 Columbia Southern Drug Legalization Juvenile Justice Discussion Discussion Board Question BCJ 2501VII

There are many arguments in favor of drug legalization and just as many in favor of keeping strict legal control over mind-altering substances. Some, for example, say that in a free society, people should be permitted to do what they want as long as they do not harm others. Others say that drug use causes many personal and social problems. Are you in favor of drug legalization or decriminalization? Or, would you prefer to keep today’s drug laws or make them even tougher? Explain your answer.

My classmate wrote this and I have to comment on it BCJ 2501:

The medical information now available about the effect drugs have on the body (Bing Search)and society is staggering and lends itself to support keeping the current laws or making them more strict.

I tend to agree, however, with the thinking that recreational drug use is a sign of a free society. This thinking is more in lines with those of liberterians who feel if, “if it neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg then why do I care”. (http://www.nobeliefs.com/jefferson.htm).

The problem comes in with human nature and addiction. Chemically induced addition or obsessive behavior from greed or narcissism can lead someone to screw it up for everyone. If a casual drug user who has been left alone can no longer financially sustain their habit begins to take from others then I have an issue. So while I support the free society approach I know through past performance and experience that humans will be unable to keep the consequences of their actions from spilling into society.

Given all of this I put forward a high bred solution. Allow drug use to be unregulated and make it a personal choice to shoulder all of the responsibility that comes with that choice. Couple that with an extremely high penalty for drug induced violations of law. This would include not allowing a drug user to put their medical costs on society’s tab. Not giving them special work conditions to meet their habit. Not funding treatment centers to kick the habit. Leave all of the burden up to them or to charitable organizations who do NOT rely on fleecing society for funding. Additionally any crimes resulting from habitual use (i.e. theft, BMV, DUI, etc. ) should be met with the most severe forms of punishment. Let the users decide if it is worth excessive jail time, death sentence or indentured servitude.

Discussion Board Question BCJ 2201:

Compare the U.S. juvenile justice system to the Beijing Rules. What are the strengths and limitations of the Beijing Rules implemented by the United Nations? Based upon the readings and your perspective, should the U.S. juvenile justice system incorporate any of these rules? If so, which ones would benefit the U.S. juvenile justice system as a whole?
