Look. I implied the validity of your former statement by saying that the gov’t can’t even keep drugs out of prisons. My point on the effect of drugs on one’s mind/reason was just to show that it isn’t prudent to use drugs if you want to maximize your survival. And yes, it’s not prudent to harm your body either... and yes, it is your choice, as long as the rights of others are not violated. A very stupid choice, imo, but yours nonetheless.
