I am Libertarian on the subject, but I am personally against the use of most drugs. As a recovering alcoholic and a former pot smoker, I can say that neither does anything positive for your life. I’ve destroyed relationships and careers with booze and pot, and being clean and sober now for 2 years, I can say definitively that life is better without.

I didn’t go through rehab, but I would support redirecting funds currently going toward “fighting” the war on drugs to rehab program subsidies for those who truly need it.

I wish you all the best in staying clean and sober.

Thanks for the insight.

I was once for the legalization of at least pot, but after watching what it did to my nephew, I realized that the pot that is on the street today is not the same drug we had back in the 70’s or that we read about from the early 17th and 18th centuries.

The pot of the 21st century is an whole new animal and genetically altered to the point of being worse then cocaine.

I no longer favor the legalization of any drug!

Hell, just look at the lives that have been destroyed by Oxycontin, which is basically legalized heroin.
