America's War on Drugs

[thesummerqueen]

Here's the end of the conversation, at least for me:

Your problem is you think the government should control how people find their recreation. It's fine if people are taking drugs in the form of medication, but not if they're doing it to get high. It's fine if people do dangerous sports, but they can't get into mind-altering drugs. You think this because of your own ideas of what's shameful, but instead of just living in the manner you think best represents your character, you think other people should be forced to behave like you.

I'm just glad you don't have any sort of control in a country I live in. You can disparage on it all you like - but I find the very idea of living in such a nanny state where others sought to "protect me from myself" to be abhorrent, self-righteous, and over-bearing, not to mention arrogant for thinking you can decide how one person lives their life or not.
