For me, I do agree that drug policies in the United Starts are far, far, FAAAAR too much. But, right now, they are what they are, it's the law, and until it's changed LEGALLY, it needs to be followed. That might irk some people I feel that way (might irk a lot more that I'd legalize and regulate drugs instead of keeping every damn thing illegal), but that's how I feel. I've taken some classes in college that really showed me just how damn political are drug laws were. Take Marijuana, for instance. The guy who first pushed those laws into place (forgot his dumbass name), he lied about the shit--made crap up, like by smoking marijuana you'd suddenly turn into an axe murderer and kill your entire family. He used fearmongering and lies to get the drug made illegal, and now because there's such a black mark on the drug, our government still lists it as having no medicinal value whatsoever They do this in the face of every single damn piece of scientific evidence that states otherwise. 

But just because our drug laws are screwy, it doesn't excuse the drug dealers for their actions. They kill, they kidnap, they are indiscriminate about who they sell to, they lace their shit making it more likely to kill you then not. THEN other countries smuggle the shit across borders, bringing even more problems into the target country (often times the US) although we're far from the only country who has drugs smuggled in. That's like saying the murderer is in the right, because you disagree with societies laws about killing people O.o

**EDIT**

I'll put an addendum here that not ALL dealers do that shit, alot of that is the drug cartels and the gangs moreso then the little chump drug dealers here and there. But the point being, a LOT of drug dealers and most especially the cartels ARE like this. And even worse.
