I've never used illegal narcotics, nor do I have a desire to do so.

I believe in personal responsibility. You're an adult and you don't need me, or the government I pay for, acting as your mommy; telling you what you may or may not do to yourself. If you want to do drugs, that's fine with me. Use your own money to pay for your them and your own resources to fix whatever problems arise. If you cause harm to others when you're high, expect to spend some time in jail; just as is already the case with alcohol.

My interest in this is that you aren't forced to go to criminals to get your poison of choice. That harms me and that harm stems from the government's desire to be your mommy. And yes, if you're a do-gooder who wants to use government to be everyone's mommy, then you're part what's causing me harm.

What an arrogant presumptuous person you are. And I might add unjustifiably so. You call me a do-gooder because I don't like or agree with your point of view. You're the one adamantly defending drug usage while at the same time piously claiming to be drug-free. I am clear about who I am, which is a person that lost a family member to one of your spiritual brethren who was also exercising his freedom to use drugs. Jail time for the perpetrator did not bring my relative back. So I guess your solution didn't or doesn't really do the trick for me. But I'm truly sorry that you mistakenly think that I'm harming you with my beliefs. It was never my intent to commit such a heinous act on another human being such as your esteemed self.
