Personally, I believe anyone should be able to choose what they eat or drink. However, as a taxpayer I don't want to fund the federal and state sponsored programs for those individuals who claim that drugs screwed their lives up.
How many drug treatment programs are there in this country that rely on taxpayer $$$'s? I'll support your right to use any drug you want as soon as all state sponsored drug treatment programs are defunded.
I have no actually knowledge of the amount of money put into "drug treatment," but I'll agree with you here. If one wants to imbibe, then they should pay for any necessary treatment that comes a long with their freedom.
