The death penalty requires a trial.

Outside the category of infants, children have the same mental development as
adults. And people who use drugs are usually handicapped mentally in some
way, no matter how old they are.

I would arrest, try and execute any person who provided recreational drugs
to children, whether it was smoked, drunk, or injected.


If you've already decided to execute them, why bother with the trial part?

I know adults who give beer to their infants and toddlers. Do you suggest
that these adults be executed?

That includes alcoholic drinks.


See above. Does it include fermented hot apple cider, egg nog, tiramisu, and
so on?

Teens can give a drunk a few dollars for beer and get all
the alcohol they want. If the penalty was death, the children would not be
able to get the drunk to buy them beer or hard liquor for the bottle as
payment.


What's wrong with them obtaining alcoholic beverages? Isn't it a bit
hypocritical for adult drug abusers to complain when their children make the
same stupid mistakes that they are making?

Same thing for the drug pusher selling to children. If you're 18, and want
drugs, it should be cheap, the black-market makes drugs expensive and makes
the gang violence.


What changes at age 18?

Public intoxication should result in arrest and time in the "tank" and OD,
you die, no extraordinary tax money should be spent to save lives that were
unwanted and discarded.


While I tend to agree about overdoses, why should public intoxication result
in arrest, assuming that it creates no danger for others and no disturbance of
the peace?

How did you do with the hot young woman?
"Jim Macklin" wrote in message
...
About 42 years ago I had an experience with pot. I did not smoke it. But
I
was at a party with a very hot young woman I wanted to nail. Her
girlfriend's boyfriend was high as a kite. The two girls asked me to talk
to him and get him to stop and go home.
He wasn't uncoordinated, but he was "out of time sync" about 2 minutes.
If
I asked him a question, there was no reaction for over a minute, then he
would respond.

I can just see it now, a pilot really two minutes behind the airplane.
From
my limited experience with drunks, I have never seen such a time shift.

The only thing I can say is, neither alcohol or recreational drugs should
be
around airplanes, cars or guns or any other machinery. I once told a
judge
that all drugs should be legal for adults and anyone providing drugs to
children should be executed. Intoxication and operating any machine
should
be punished. But the drug should be legal so the black-market and the
associated crime would go away.

BTW, the judge dismissed me from the jury when both the defense and
prosecutor objected to me being seated.

The human brain is incomplete at birth and continues to develop for about 20
years. This has been proven in many studies and is well known. Children
are different and not capable of logical thought and evaluation of threats
and consequences. That is why the military prefers 17-18 year old recruits,
why a 5-12 year old can get on a motorcycle and do back-flips and other
stunts, they don't know any better so they learn how to do it before they
learn fear.

The penalty should be draconian since recreational drug use kills the brain,
the only real difference between humans and apes. A trial determines guilt
and a jury decides guilt. If you shoot a person in the head with a bullet,
or a drug, you still destroy the brain.

Execution is a word that presumes a trial. Law presumes a trial. Perhaps
you have used too many drugs and are not able to think. I'm on a new
computer and have not yet added your name to the "block sender" list. I
will soon take care of that.

I think I recognize emotion-based vigilante "justice" when I see it.

It hasn't been proven at all; it is pure speculation, designed to support
preconceived notions.

Children are different and not capable of logical thought and
evaluation of threats and consequences.


Children are marvels of logical thought, and with their lack of bias, they
process data more objectively than their elders.

The penalty should be draconian since recreational drug use kills the brain,
the only real difference between humans and apes.


Why shouldn't there be the same penalty for supplying such drugs to adults,
then?

They're right. Nobody forces anyone to become addicted to drugs.
