[DiogenesLamp]

You have twisted sense of freedom. you don’t establish freedom by making them illegal. That is the opposite of freedom. If people break the law likes DUI or burglaries to feed the habit put them in prison.

I want to show you something profound, and I hope you have the wisdom to understand it.

"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, — in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity, — in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption, — in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
-Edmund Burke-

Society existed over 100 years with no drug prohibition till someone got mad at Chinese using opium in SF and NY. Alcohol prohibition created organized crime and street gangs. We spend billions fighting human nature and we lost but kept pouring money down the rat hole. Freedom is risky, scary to some, but it beats the other considerations. Edmund how do you like our war on drugs and imprisoning people.
