You're right, hard drugs aren't legal in the Netherlands, and Cenk keeps misrepresenting that fact. It kinda pisses me off, too. Cenk is definately wrong if he wnats to completely legalize hard drugs (he hasn't been very specific on that).

Heroin can turn you into an addict for life at your first shot, so there's no way people should be able to buy it wthout restrictions. People who are already addicted to it should be able to buy it  in some places that are controlled by the authorities, anything to get the gangs out of business. They should be treated like patients, not criminals. Anyway, Cenk has to get much more specific on that issue.

heroin propaganda (3.50 / 2)
Although I don't do drugs, I know with a certainty that no one has ever become physically addicted to heroin on their "first shot."  Most people who experiment with heroin often get turned off by the initial nauseous effect and subsequent vomiting.  To be clear, I'm not recommending people go out and use heroin, especially with the risk of overdosing or getting diseases from dirty needles if they shoot up, but the benefits of legalizing all drugs including heroin outweighs these so-called risks along with the fact that the numbers show otherwise.
