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.

Is that the country the Founding Fathers founded, a safe one?

They put their lives on the line and were willing to hang together if they lost, so you’d have a safe country to live in?

I thought they founded a country that a man could be free, as he defines freedom? If he defines freedom as the right to inject potions into his arm, that’s his right.

Were the Founding Fathers wrong in what they were trying to do? They should have focused on safety and not freedom?

I’m not using the government to stop people from exercising their rights as they see fit. The most we owe them is honest information and accountability if they use their freedom to hurt people.

But a free country is not just your definition of freedom, but somebody else’s as well.
