“But arguing about ‘drugs’ as if they are a single item is just silly.”
You are absolutely correct! Think about over-the-counter as compared to prescription drugs. There are things that need tighter controls, but to simply outlaw all drugs because a few users “might” do something illegal is just stupid!
A good example of this is beer; it is legal and yet people have died of alcohol poisoning involving this drug. Yet, there are absolutely NO records of anyone EVER having died of marijuana overdose or marijuana poisoning!
So, tell me how and why beer is “good” or “acceptable” and marijuana is “bad” and “wrong!” Personally, I think is public relations! Yep, beer has a better PR man than MJ!
Somebody really had to work at that. Darwin Award with extra points for effort.
