This is EXACTLY why this crap and similar crap should NEVER be legalized.

What is similar to heroin and on track to be legalized?

Some Libertarians have suggested as much when they speak about "legalization".

I'm not aware of any effort to legalize heroin. What I have seen is calls to legalize marijuana, and decriminalize other drugs, so that they can be dealt with as health issues rather than criminal issues.

Its a fringe idea in the US, but it's been taken seriously by other countries. Portugal being the highest profile one.

Its a tough topic to get into, because you REALLY have to commit to going into it with an open mind and checking any preconceptions at the door. It's so counter intuitive to what one might assume would happen if a country did this. I was very much against the idea when I first heard it. But it's been over a decade now... and I can't deny the facts.
I still dont know if this would work in the US, due to governmental differences, and social differences. But I think its worth investigating. The 'War on Drugs' has been an utter failure. We have to stop and rethink the best way to go forward. What we are doing now isn't working.

btw... I'm pretty sure that in Portugal its still illegal to give drugs to a minor though.

I think loading a gun is a good place to start.

I'm personally in favor of legalizing all drugs. It's worked pretty well for Portugal.
What an adult does to their own body... their business. If they want to inject sulfuric acid into their eyeballs for a good time, that's on them, because it doesnt hurt anyone else.
The regulation of what you can do with your own body is how we end up with stupid Soda limits in cities. Somebody politican thinks they have the right to limit how much soda you drink at a restaurant.

But getting a 15yo hooked on heroin and screwing up her whole life so you can get sex. Nah... that's crossing multiple lines all at once.

In other news... f*cking a horse gets you two years:

It does if they then apply for disability benefits due to blindness.

I get the intent of your argument but anyone who draws benefits early harms the taxpayers.

The sad thing here with regards to the 15 year old girl is that given what she has tried and what she prefers the odds are she doesn't see the age of 20.

As for Mr. Knox he should be locked up for statutory rape, and the possession and distribution of an illegal narcotic, soliciting prostitution from a minor, and I'm sure I'm missing a few.

As for bestiality, shoot the rider, spare the mount.
