Hi chompu, you talk some sense but I still think you have no first hand experience. What makes you think we did no research about drugs before we decided, what the heck you're only young once? The case you have made for drugs not being comparable to alcohol is complete nonsense. If you were to visit a country like Jamaica, Afghanistan, Mexico, Bolivia, you would see that people have happily been smoking weed, opium, taking hallucinogens, taking coke for much longer than alcohol has even been on the planet. The research has already determined that we can fairly safely choose to kill ourselves a wee bit quicker if we choose to. I'm not saying that we should highlight and discourage people from using drugs but at the end of the day, it's nobody's business what we do and I believe the laws do more damage than good, and not just on a local scale.
