I am sick and tired of people disregarding the dangers of drug use in order to feed some need they have.

Yep, drug use is dangerous. And smoking is dangerous. And drinking is dangerous. And eating fatty foods is dangerous. And NASCAR is dangerous. And bungee jumping is dangerous.

What does not follow is that the appropriate response to danger is prohibition.

And smoking is dangerous.

Not suddenly and unexpectedly. And both parties know that the smoker is smoking and can address the situation appropriate.

And drinking is dangerous.

I don't think you want to hear what I have to say about alcohol.

And eating fatty foods is dangerous.

Only to the eater.

And NASCAR is dangerous. And bungee jumping is dangerous.

Only to the participants and those who choose to be observers.

Nice try, but you are attempting to compare apples and oranges.

When your sister has been raped and thrown out a window by someone who is high, let me know.
