Now normally I'm not one for government intervention/regulation and I am completely in favor of legalizing marijuana (even though I don't smoke), but some things just make sense. Keeping things such as heroin, crack, meth, etc. off the streets is absolutely the right thing to do.


Obviously people still use it and there is crime as a result but I truly believe that this is the lesser of two evils.

 

My children abstaining from that life style will have everything to do with how I raise them and who I allow them to be around, and almost nothing to do with what any authority figure says is right or wrong.

 

There's literally hundreds of things that can get you high sold at WalMart every day. And yet some how we as a society are able to regulate ourselves from falling into complete chaos without needing regulations against these items.

 

The war on drugs, much like the war on poverty is simply an excuse for a select minority to display power over you. I oppose that projection of authority  chance I get.
