Originally posted by Das Boot Really, I don't care either way. If someone wants to use drugs, so be it. If they want to kill themselves slowly with drugs, so be it. The only thing I care about is the large amount of tax money spent "fighting" this war on drugs. It would be a lot easier just putting everyone in a room with fistfull of drugs in one hand and a gun in the other.
Well, as long as you're consistent in your rationale, it's cool with me. I personally don't mind the government keeping nasty shit out of the hands of those too dumb to monitor themselves (especially since ill health due to overconsumption of salt, drugs, etc, weighs on the rest of society in the form of higher medical fees, taxes, etc), but I understand the POV of the other side.
