If I were a nanny-stater, I’d be trying to tell people what they can and cannot put into their bodies.

I simply want people to make their own decisions when it comes to their recreational activities.

Here is the Founding Fathers and their mentality towards drugs.

That's not what's being discussed here. You think there's a fool-proof system that educating people about drugs will make things safer. It won't, and will be a waste of money and time, just like Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty was supposed to eliminate poverty. You want to go touchy-feely with the government educating people about the use of drugs. When has that approach ever been successful? Any government-run program they come up with, whether it's Federal of State-controlled is doomed to fail. They always do, and the taxpayer ends up paying the price in the end.
