wow this is the last place in the world i would expect a topic like this to come up, lol.

i don't think the government should be able to tell me what i can put into my body, mainly because they have very poor judgment. like its fine if i go out and buy a packof cigarrettes that WILL KILL ME eventually, its fine if i drink a 12 pack of beer everyday and die of liver failure, beat my wife, lose my job and live a poor quality life.

but by god if i smoke a joint and stay home, order a pizza ( munchies, mmmm) and play video games all day, i am a criminal, and pot is evil because there is the very slim possibility that it MAY cause some health problem if i am a cronic user for a long period of time.

its all about money and popular opinion, marijuana legislation is just like pit bull/breed specific legislation, its retarded.

i don't know what a solution for the other drugs would be, but i can tell you that throwing someone in jail because they have a drug problem does nothing to help them, it only gaurantees that they will become a repeat offender.
