Yes, we do, but taking dope isn't one of them.
I'm sorry, but your continuing attempts to elevate free dope to the level of a civil right is just ludicrous.
It doesn't seem that way to you, because it is likely all you think about. But the laws are going to remain, and the War on Drugs--which we're winning--is going to continue, because the vast majority of people are NOT hopelessly addicted, and don't have the same mindset of those who are addicted and want to turn their addiction into some sort of pious virtue.
The rest of us, as I've said, see things a lot more clearly. We've all had and continue to have family or friends who are caught up in it, and we're sick of hearing how "wonderful" it is.
It's not. It's soul-destroying, and its effects reach far beyond the life of the single individual dope-addict.
That's why you can murmur and declaim all you want, but are no closer to "winning" on your issue than when I was a student in the 1970s.
Bingo, you hit the nail on the head with the above italicized comment.

The War on Drugs will either stop, or we will no longer be free of tyranny. Government soldiers are given more and stronger powers every time this illegal "war" comes up for review.
Illbay, if this "war" were being won, there would be no reason for the government soldiers to wear masks over their heads.
