Many people have, while under the influence of a "controlled substance", subjected others to pain and suffering - rape, murder, physical abuse, etc. I have a very real problem with that, though I agree that prohibition is not the solution (and really, what is?). However, keeping drugs <b>from those people</b> is probably not a bad idea.
Considering that 100% of the rapists and murderers were heavy users of oxygen, let's keep them all off that drug. :-)

Seriously, if their crime was violence, then punsih them for that. Even that lamer with the 9mm auto at the Taco Bell is is pleading "drugs made me do it".

Bullshit. If you fuck up while you're fucked up, it's *your* fault for getting that fucked up. It's not the fault of what you're fucked up on, which is inanimate and has no volition, be it drugs, guns or alcohol. Speaking of which: dham, isn't it time for your "they only made a small mistake, what a terrible punishment, what if it was your daughter" speech? :-)
