America's War on Drugs

[thesummerqueen]

Here: let's start compiling a list of all the things that are legal that *could* affect society, and let's discuss why no one's made them illegal yet (or illegal in all states/countries).

Driving whilst talking on a cellphone/texting
Driving whilst excessively tired
Driving whilst talking to your passengers/eating/drinking/yelling at your kids
Riding bicycles on the road (sometimes we have bike lanes, but more than often we don't and people ride them in the street).
All contact sports: because c'mon, you can say its your right to bash your head in, but there's usually other people on the field being affected - what about them?
TV shows or movies that glorify violence or teach people how to do violent things
Sex without condoms
Sharing food or drinks - you could be passing a virus and not know it.
Selling fattening foods
Indoctrinating your child into religion

Add yours! I'm sure I could come up with more, but I'm at work.

My experiences, of course, they're mine, not everyone's, have been quite the reverse. When I'm on drugs, I'm very emotional, and tend to become emotional when I think of undesirable events, whereas while sober, I might not have reacted in such ways.

Then don't do drugs. Don't make them illegal for anyone else who can handle them.
