Well, you are who you are. If you have reason to try and stop people from using them, then do so. If you have reason to encourage people to use them then do so.

However, state and local governments have reason to make them illegal, because they do have profound negative effects on the users and their communities.

If such entities put it up to a vote of us citizens to make them illegal or legal, I’d vote to continue to make them illegal.

That is just my opinion. I am a former drug addict who has used cocaine in the past, and my main addiction was to pills, but I have not used meth, heroin or crack, although I have known people who have. I don’t believe that there is any redeeming value to these drugs at all.

But there is great value in recognizing and respecting the right of an adult to make that decision for himself.
