But isn’t that the core of being a free people? The freedom to really screw your life up?
Because there is one alternative. Someone telling you by law you cant. And that is not compatable with the concept of being a free man.
When you reduce this to its core elements, that’s it. But with freedom comes responsibility whether the drugged out waste product wants it or not. And if his freedom to fry runs in to my freedom to be secure in my person/finances/whatever, he gets to pay the price.
But some here crave the nanny/police state solution. There is nothing conservative about that I can find in any conservative text I’ve ever read.
Riddle me this drug warriors, Will more gun laws stop gun crime? No? Then why do you feel drug laws will stop drug crime/problems?
That is a very real, related and direct question.
Drugs affect the mind. They REDUCE freedom when used. A gun is an inanimate object that when used doesn’t affect the brain. It’s no more a tool than a hammer.
A drug’s only purpose is to mess up the brain. There’s no ‘defensive drug use’. There’s nothing to it but to get high. There’s no benefit possible. Sorry, you’re wrong on this.
