Drugs is an extremely difficult balance.

We can't just say that everyone should be allowed to do what they want.

Trust me, I don't refrain from drug abuse because certain drugs are illegal, nor would I start using them if they were legalized. Social opprobrium, a love for my family and my own body are what keep me from abusing myself with drugs. It has nothing to do with the laws passed by corrupted legislators.

But this is the crux of every argument made, from drugs to sex, etc. Too many people think they have the right to do *anything they want*. They use the first amendment as a crutch to legitimize their actions. It's folks who think like this that make me wonder if sometimes too much freedom is a bad thing.
