The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

    We’re progressing, we’re already talking about limitations and regulations and control in general!

    This has been productive for both of us, keep up walking the good path, friend.

      The drug market currently is completely unregulated. It‘s easier for a teenager to buy weed, than alcohol. If we make it legal, we can actually regulate it, like alcohol.

        This exact mentality, applied to guns, led to the school shooting situation in the US.

        Also

        According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, it is estimated that about 1 in 3 women (or approximately 33%) have experienced physical and/or sexual violence at some point in their lives

        Shall we legalize groping? Legalize it (it’s unavoidable) and then regulate it (applies rules to how long you can touch, where you can touch, etc)

          No, missing regulation led to the school shooting situation in the US. Just legalizing won‘t solve any issues, without any proper regulations.

          Consuming drugs is your choice, it only affects your body, life and mind. Sexual assault and drugs can not even be remotely compared.

            It affects everyone nearby, many children have developed respiratory issues due to their parent’s usage of tobacco, drugs make it even worse, you lose control of yourself and ruins the lives of everyone nearby.

            Where are you from, by the way? You certainly don’t seem to be from a country that suffers from drug addicts, I live in Brazil.

              Brazil has one of the most strict anti drug laws in the world, isn’t that correct?

              I am from Germany. We‘ll legalize weed soon.

              And yes, drug usage certainly can affect other people, sorry about the confusion. My point was primarily about normal drug usage, not addicts. Criminalizing it certainly doesn‘t seem to help, every single country that tried this completely failed. On the other hand, countries that do the exact opposite seem to be pretty successful.

              Edit: You just seem to ignore facts. It works in other countries. The war on drugs failed.

                You don’t have the lawless Bolivia next to you, producing tons of weed every day. There lies the difference.

                Also you can’t imagine the sheer amount of Bolivians who have emigrated here, there are at least 7 or 10 houses full of Bolivians in my street. We might as well just unite with them and establish the “Republic of Brazil and Bolivia” at this point.

                  No, but we have the Netherlands, where a lot of weed comes from (illegally but also some legally).

                    Now I’m jealous. I wish we could trade places.
