I was having a conversation today about someone who's "out of it" all the time due to a past marijuana habit.

It really does fry your brain, whether we should allow people the "freedom" to fry their brains ...

... while we 'allow' them the freedom to calcify their livers, cancerfy their lungs, and tan their perfect skins to carcenoma. Not to mention eat until they resemble Jabba the Hutt. Why pick on a homegrown vegetable?

The point is freedom is the flip side of personal responsibility. I don't want the cops with their billy clubs carting me off to jail for behavior that doesn't harm any one else. A libertarian wrote a book back in the 90s about it that William F. Buckley reviewed. I think it was titled, "Its No body's Business." Anyway, the best form of policing is the individual. But if we're going to be locking up people for victimless crimes, we'd better starting locking all of us up.
