What other people put into their bodies is really none of your, or my, business. Drugs have been around since alcohol was invented, actually before that even. Before the turn of the century(20th) and for a few years after drugs were legal in the US, in fact cocaine was used in making coca cola, not much, a very small, small amount. Drug users were no more plentiful then than they are now, just as people kept drinking when prohibition was in effect people keep using drugs whether they are legal or not. In fact, being illegal and such a great money maker for gangs and other drug dealers, children are more apt to become drug users and addicts simply because dealers push drugs onto children.

It is profitable don't you see? Legalize drugs, take the money out of it and the crime either goes away completely or close to it. No more money to finance well armed gangs, no more shoot outs on the border, drugs cause those shoot outs, drugs finance the gangs such as MS13.

Claiming the high ground is simply BS. Don't want to do drugs? Don't do them, I don't. The only ones who are damaged with legal drugs are the ones taking them, no one else. The people who are damaged when drugs are illegal are too numerous to count, but of course moralistic people can't be concerned about the many victims caused by the war on drugs. They have to make sure everyone lives just the way they want them to.

People who think drugs should be illegal are actually liberals, because they want to control what others do.

I am not a drug user, never have been, I am not a libertarian, never have been. I am a realist and a person who learns from history and I use common sense and not a moralistic desire to control other people.
