I wonder if you or any of these jokers understands what freedom actually is.

I'll define one form of freedom for you - the freedom in knowing that your day is your own and that it won't have to be spent in stealing, borrowing or begging for just enough money to buy your next fix.

You believe in theoretical freedom - I believe in the actual article.

Mighty prejudicial in your definition of freedom. All these phony laws do is to teach us to break the law. The more we break the law the easier it is to reconcile. We pick and choose the laws we follow, and the more we reconcile our lawlessness the easier it is to justify further breaking of bull$hit laws. The more laws there are; the less law there is.

Legalize everything, 99.9% pure. Have the goobermint provide it, along with a hole in the desert to drop your carcass. I guarantee there will be fewer addicts after the first year. You'll uncrowd the prisons, you'll get rid of a disgusting element, fertilize the desert, and, the bodies of the dead addicts will set a wonderful example against drug use for our children. If your son or daughter ends up as fertilizer you must accept the blame for planting the seed of temptation.

If freedom ought not include the freedom to risk addiction, it seems clear that it also ought not include the freedom to risk death, so skydiving, rock climbing, etc. are right out.

And since some currently illegal drugs (e.g., marijuana) are less addictive than alcohol, you'll doubtless be calling for either the legalization of those drugs or the criminalization of alcohol. Right?

That's one form. I'm glad you are enjoying it. It seems like a good form.

But it's not the only kind.

The kind of "freedom" where one group of people with guns tells other people what they can and cannot ingest? That's actual freedom?

The reason that they have to steal, borrow or beg for just enough money is because the drugs are illegal.
And please, I do not want to hear how everyone will become a drug addict.
