How the war on drugs creates violence

Please stop saying I've said things that I haven't. We can't have a conversation if you do that.

I didn't say you should be punished for doing your taxes badly.

Your parking example is terrible. If you get a parking fine then you must have ignored a sign or not seen it. It's entirely possible there was no sign and you legitimately didn't realised you parked somewhere you shouldn't. There are appeals processes for exactly this. There are rules and regulation on conditions required to fine someone for parking.

I don't understand how you can compare this to a drug problem.

Someone should get help for a drug problem because it is exactly that - a problem they need help with.

It's hard to have a conversation if you just tap dance around all my points without addressing any of them.

Again, why, according to you, are doing illegal drugs treated as a problem that people need to be helped with, yet other illegal behaviour is the responsibility of the individual? Or aren't you saying that, and in that case, what are you saying?
