I am for the legalization of drugs, but with strings attached: You cannot have a driver's license. Sounds extreme? It is. I think if you are dumb enough to TAKE them, you should have to forfeit another right! Now, I know what you may be thinking: Alcohol is a drug! I know it is, and I feel the same way about alcohol! But alcohol is already legal, and we cannot change that. But we are talking about a what if scenario. I would be for legalization of drugs, but only accessible to you after a 7 day waiting period, background check, and if it is revealed that you have a driver's license, you cannot get the stuff. Now, what happens if you are allowed access to the drugs and THEN you get a license. Well, your name is in the same database....THE DMV will see that a letter D for drugs is next to your name and then they would tell you, no, you cannot apply for a license right now. What about if you decide you need a license more than drugs? Well, first you would get a special Former User's License Application, then you would be registered for voluntary rehab and involuntary drug testing. You must test clean for 6 months, then you may get the license. You are then changed to a L status for License and the places that sell the drugs would be aware of the change with a change to the database...You get tested monthly and if it is discovered that you are using again, you go on a step program. The first step is license suspension for a year, second step is 5 years, last is permanent removal of licensure rights. I know, this sounds like a really complicated theory, but I have had long drawn out conversaitons about this and this is what I came up with along with a friend....
