I think sometimes drugs should be legalized. I don’t use drugs and I don’t want to, but our society is so criminalized now. More and more things are becoming regulated everyday making crime a big moneymaker for crooks, cops, security and corrections.

However, I believe it’s foolishness to use drugs. I think medical marijuana is a scam, and if you’re healthy enough to run around screaming outside the “clinics” you probably don’t really need it.

Yep. Sorta like motorcycle helmet laws -- I'd wear my helmet even if it wasn't mandated, but I deeply resent being told it's illegal if I don't wear one.

“However, I believe it’s foolishness to use drugs.”

I’d die to defend your right to hold that belief, and act on it.

It’s sad that so many are willing to throw away freedoms that were earned with blood and sacrifice.
