In an interview on Friday, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D-Church of Social Justice) clarified his drug policy, calling for decriminalization of all drugs including methamphetamine, cocaine, and ecstasy.
“Incarceration should not even be a response to drug possession,” Buttigieg told editors at the Des Moines Register.
An editor pressed him, “Is that across the board? So if it’s meth or coke or ecstasy, any drugs, if it’s possession, incarceration isn’t…”
“That’s right,” Mayor Pete said.

This is a last ditch effort to raise the poll numbers from the bottom layer of society. I'm sure Mr. & Mrs. ButtJudge are familiar with these illegal delights given their residence in Wonderland.

The cartels wouldn't like that. But luckily for him, he has zero chance of being elected.

No rules, just right. If it feels good, do it. We'll get all the working suckas to pay for the fallout. That's his platform.

Much as I agree that drugs are very bad, the Constitution does not grant the feds the authority to ban them any more than it gave the feds the authority to ban alcohol. We do t have a Constitution any more. You can expect a gun ban!

Somewhere in there is a plan to make NAMBLA in charge of child welfare! This is not a sarcasm. The basic concept of what is right and what is wrong is screwed up with these people.

I have read that drug use is rampant in the male homosexual sub-culture, with certain drugs used to enhance the intensity of orgasms. If that is correct, then Peter the Homosexual is simply operating in his own lane with his position on drugs. (Lesbians are not included in the enhancement stuff. I guess they mostly sit around and complain about men.. Back in the 1970s, in the heated arena of women's rights, some coeds wore a button that said, 'how dare you assume I am heterosexual!' That button was sort of the opposite of viagra.)

Imagine children growing up in a society with no rules or laws. Of course Pete is not a parent. He doesn't see things through the eyes of a father.

It never ceases to amaze me - - when L-Dotters - - who allegedly believe in individual freedom, free markets, and the Constitution - - eagerly back big government prohibition of individual choices - - throwing people into jail because of what they choose to ingest - - and even worse - - turning someone else's bad choices into my problem.
Drug cartels - - murder - - muggings - - corruption - - and general mayhem are all the result of big government criminalizing individual choices. Nearly all of that would be eliminated by the decriminalization of all narcotic drugs.
And please don't bemoan the overdose death of your beloved nephew. That probably would not have happened if drugs were legal - - and it's certainly not my problem.

Where will users get all the money to purchase these drugs? Business owners schools etc. certainly won't want employees that are high at work. Driving becomes more hazardous, more homeless, more people die. So the end result is to have people on drugs, out on the street and dying while robbing the non users who have been stripped of their weapons and unable to defend themselves.

This is the classic example of the major flaw in so-called "Libertarian-ism", namely, that not everyone is capable of taking personal responsibility and most people are in no position to be held accountable for their deeds due to poverty, ignorance or other situations should their drug usage make them do something untoward.
The mayor of Bend Over, Indiana no doubt has lots of wealthy, liberal friends who use all sorts of drugs behind the closed doors of their expensive apartments, house, etc. They quietly shoot up or smoke up and don't bother anyone --- so he feels they should be left alone. No harm, no foul. Thus no crime for possession or buying said drugs. It's a personal decision, don't you see?
The mayor has obviously never met a crazed drug addict about 30 hours away from their last hit and who would kill their own grandma to get enough money to get the heroin monkey off his back.

Cigarettes and ecigs are bad. Meth is ok. Pot is ok. Got it.
Now, for those thinking this is great, all this is is a step towards ward government control of drugs. Buy your drugs through a government store with all the associated taxes you’ll be ok. Buy on the street and not so much.

I'm not taking advice or listening to someone who uses the end of the digestive system as a sexual receptacle. He has the sex now wants the drugs what next rock and roll? Bootygig doesn't have a snowball's chance so why not dream his fantasy.

So he wants to decriminalize exactly what is holding so many people in its grip of death? He wants to condemn innocent people to be victims of those addicts in their search for funds to pay for their addictions? Couple this with his attacks on Christians and their faith, he is one ignorant and sick pathetic creep. Drugs are not victimless crimes.

All narcotics were legal in the U.S. at one time. They could be found in anything from candy and soda pop to patent medicines which claimed to cure anything from toothaches to menstrual cramps.
Laws were passed against their distribution because of the Public Health crisis they caused. We as a society, have never been able to keep regulated substances out of the hands of underage youth, look at all the teens vaping as an example. Removing all restrictions would only double the amount of users. They would be the ones who end up in prison for crimes related to securing funds to buy their drugs, while the sellers would be exempt from prosecution.

All these drugs endanger our nation #10. National Security is the Federal responsibility and THAT is in the constitution. When people say that banning drugs is unconstitutional, that tells me that somebody really likes drugs, and is not against them in any way. Something that rots the foundation of our nation and its security is or should always be considered bannable. Right now, drug money from cartels and their customers pays for corruption in government and also funds terrorism. How is that constitutional again???

If Tinkerbelle and his husband ever managed to get into the Oval Office you can just imagine the gushing of hollywood and the media. He would spend about as much time governing as Obama pretended to do (that would be the best part) but the vacations, the parties, the TV appearances and the glamour magazine articles would be unbearable. The gay crowd would be prancing around in leather and lace like the blacks did when Obama was King.

I believe 25% of the population belongs in prison, including 90% of the politicians, which means I support building more prisons, hiring and training more professional corrections officers. Prisons should be on the Japanese model, where they learn to do anything to avoid being put in prison.

Mayor Pete resembles the old Alfred E. Neumann cartoon character with ridiculous comments right out of the old Onion magazine. His only chance is that a Democrat socialist nominee selects Pete as his or her vice-presidential running mate. If Pete’s dream of decriminalizing the possession of all currently illegal drugs ever becomes reality, it would not be long before China and other countries flood the USA with dangerous drugs like fentanyl and opioids that would kill untold numbers of Americans. As foreign countries across the world adversarial to the USA sit back and laugh their butts off. The only way to stop that Democrat nutty pandering to criminal and irresponsible elements of society is to never vote for Democrats.

I'll stand with #15.
FTA: "...while there continue to be all kinds of harms associated with drug possession and use, it’s also the case that we have created—in an effort to deal with what amounts to a public health problem—we have created an even bigger problem."
And that bigger problem is the spread of law enforcement granted extraordinary powers, and accomplishing nothing but "spreading it around" in terms of grants and added funding. If law enforcement was the answer, or even an answer to drug usage, one wonder why it remains a "crisis". Like "security", "drugs" is political shorthand for many things, including ragging on minority communities, like white kids aren't imbibing or selling. What these laws have done is create an environment of tremendous corruption - of society, government and law enforcement. And that corruption is global, generally unchecked and highly profitable.
Public social services and "rehab" spread another huge chunk of money around. "Public health" officials won't keep the plague or measles from the public, but go all in for drug education and other programs. If they are effective, I suspect, funding runs out.
Frankly, let the pending Darwin Award winners step forward. Have it it, like drunks, smokers (and now vapers), and "fat people"...or should the Federal government step in there, too? Oh, wait, they already have.

Yeah, that's right. Make it illegal to drink a Big Gulp through a plastic straw, but legal to abuse lethal, addictive narcotics. That'll work.

Mrs. PeteButt panders for the pot-head vote. Pathetic. Sad when one sees that the criminal vote is now a factor in elections. Thank the Democrats for that, but it is likely only a matter of time before the Republicans are on board with it as well. Anything for votes.
Didn't think they would stop at just pot. did you? Of course not. Wonder what his stand is on cigarettes.
How ironic that the same people that want to legalize hard drugs seem to want to ban cigarettes.
It fixes nothing! Would you want a crackhead living in your house or operating heavy machinery? What will they do when they lose their job, and cannot find a new one?
This is a big mistake, and Mrs. Pete Buttigieg should not hold a government position anywhere.

As it has become increasingly obvious that his campaign's failure to generate more support has doomed its chances of winning, Mayor Pete does the political equivalent of performing self-immolation to get attention.
The tragic flaw to his choice is that lack of attention isn't why his campaign is sputtering, as the enemedia have paid plenty of attention to him. To be fair, the gay-loving media have practically promoted him.

Sometimes I think they might as well legalize all the dang recreational and addictive drugs ; It might improve the gene pool pretty rapidly, if people who have that sort of personality had cheap and unfettered access to their favorite type of poison.

What a great idea!
Cmbine this idea with the ones to eliminate the police and to confiscate all personally-held weapons.
That will DEFINITELY fundamentally transform American society.
(It will probably help with environmental change problem, too - all those nasty, polluting, energy-squandering Americans being dead and all.)
