"I see what drug abuse does to individuals and families everyday in my job. "Victimless?" I don't think so."
Have you ever considered that what you are seeing is
what the WOD does to individuals and families?
I wrote nothing about drug abuse nor use for that matter.
It is possession of an herb which I wrote about. Who is the
victim if one citizen chooses on his or her own time to stop
and enjoy the scent of a flower gifted from the garden of God?
Who is the victim if the guy smelling the flower in his home
has a bong in the other hand when the DEAmen knock down
his door and blow him to kingdom come thinking it is a gun?
"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God?" --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782.
"Victim," is a state which reguires the subject to have had actions
taken upon them by an other which had unexpected adverse effects.
In the case of the user the effects are expected and self induced, therefore there is no victim. The continuation of a perpetual war upon
our own citizenry is, in addition to being unconstitutional, a victim making machine.
Ever walk into a household with four small children running around while mom is comatose in the bedroom from doing meth?
