Actually, "kids" have access to illegal drugs now, despite their currently being "illegal". It seems like legalization, or decriminalization, would protect your kids better than what currently occurs today.

Kids have an easier access to illegal drugs, due to the fact that there is no regulation on such substances. Legalizing and controlling the flow of all drugs would go a long way towards keeping them away from kids.

But of course, the "drug warriors" don't want to admit this fact.

In fairness to the "drug warriors" here, there is a lot to be commended in fighting rampant drug use in this country. It is just HOW you fight it.

I think Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign was great. Stigmatizing drug use and making it a socially disrespected thing to do is fine by me.

I just think it is someone's right to choose to use drugs if they wish and a dangerous and slippery slope for people to start going through a checklist of "you CAN do this, but you CAN'T do that" when at issue are actions that affect YOUR OWN BODY and not that of someone else's (like abortion where I believe the government DOES have the right to prohibition).

And all of us are perpetual kids too, apparently, needing nanny government to tend us.

I just want the drug warriors to answer the "Who's your Daddy?" question.
