No. They should be mandatory. And free. My favorite is lysergic acid diethylidimide.
I won my first spelling B when I spelled LSD right. The other kid lost because he tried
to spell lysergic acid diethylidimide. He was a better talker than a listener. Who else do we know like that? If you're on drugs, it's IMPOSSIBLE to misspell "drugs." Another good reason to make them mandatory. Lots of Americans are smarter than any of the elected
American Presidents. Why don't they run for Prez? They inhaled. If you do drugs you're
less likely to believe in god, alcohol, or Dr. Phil. And a lot of other lies. It's true. Drugs make you less dishonest. Telling people you're honest is dishonest. Telling people you
wish you were honest is less dishonest. Which would you rather have? Myself, I'd rather
have 76 Trombones and A Clarinet. Vote For ME, I'm less dishonest. HOOrah!

Never. It'll create nothing but trouble and inconveniences for the society, and then we'd have no means to stop the abusers and keep the rest safe. At least with it being illegal, they are forced to go underground and could be arrested. We can't stop them all but we could make it tougher! (:

The legality of anything is out of my hands. I've lived my life while under the influence
of drugs. It was never a big deal. If I wanted them, I met with my friend Dave Opiate
and I had them. When I was in love with Fran(like now), I'm so awestruck I don't have time for anything except picking the petals off of sun flowers and repeating my favorite mantra, "She loves me, she loves me not" ad infinitum. Some people would consider her response to my entreaties, utter contempt, to be
much more criminal than the crime I committed. Which would make me the saint and
she the sinner. But that's preposterous. MDF, My darling Fran, was conceived in Sainthood. And sits at The Right Hand of God whenever she wants to. I'm dying to go on our first date. And count ALL our freckles. Wow.
You don't need drugs. All you need is love.

Why not?! Don't we already have enough legalized drugs that are chemical-based and people are more than trusting and willing to take them. We feel like we can trust pharmaceuticals because the FDA and government tell us they are safe and then months or years later we have all these recalls and invites to sue. It doesn't seem right to me. And besides that, if you live clean and naturally then your chances or even needing drugs goes significantly down. I am 30 years old and never been on a prescription medication with the exception of anti-biotics after minor surgeries like getting my wisdom teeth out. I know people my age, people younger, people older who have a handful of medications they take on a daily basis and while they may help one condition they wreak havoc on other parts of the mind and body. I don't even have a medicine cabinet unless you could my collection of herbs and other natural remedies. I can't tell you the last time I ever got sick, had a cold, or any type of infection. I do however believe in legalization of natural drugs such as marijuana. How is it any different then mixing up tea or coffee?? It's a plant that grows in the ground and studies have never shown anyone overdosing or dying from consumption. I don't think it's right that any person can tell another person that they can't grow and consume a plant.

I'm retired. Before I retired, I worked around addicts 12 hours a day. They were(and are)
addicted to gambling. Some of them were addicted to drugs as well. Lortab and oxycontin seemed to be the most popular. How did I deal with the madness? There wasn't any madness. Occasionally, there was sadness. Being around these sad, strung
out people didn't effect me at all. They had their rules and I had mine. The most important rule is that they can't be trusted. My uncle owes me $2000, which I'll never
see. I also know I'll never see him again. I loaned him the money. Zero down and zero
interest. If he was a man, he would have paid me long ago. But he's not. At the time,
we called it a loan. But we both knew it was a goodbye gift. The situation I've described is the life a lot of cabdrivers lead in Las Vegas. The level of their addiction is manageable: if they don't have money, they don't gamble. Some of them couldn't
manage and actually took down banks to get the money. I knew one of them. He had been a customer of the bank he robbed for 14 years before he robbed it. His wife
returned the money the next day in two black garbage bags. He was lucky. He pleaded
no contest and was given probation. Las Vegas is aware of "problem gamblers" and does what it can to alleviate the situation. Like forgive a bank robbery. The casinos
are not forgiving, and will chase you to the ends of the earth, to recover a dollar. Nevada legalized gambling in 1935. They did so knowing some visitors and locals
would become "problem gamblers", a nice term for addicted. So Las Vegas has been
prepared for an addicted population forever. That won't happen, but they're prepared.
Will towns, cites, population centers be similarly prepared for an addicted population,
even if it's only 1%? Don't say it can't happen. Anyone who says that shouldn't be allowed to decide his communities's position on drugs. Everybody has been talking
about marijuana use and how harmless it is. When they should be considering the down side. That's not negativity. That's responsibility. The criminal who used to be Mayor of New Orleans was asked, post Katrina, if he had drawn up a disaster relief
plan for his city. His answer was "No I hasn't. We jes nevah thinked it would happen.
But it sho did. Lawdy, lawdy, lawdy." Don't let your part of the planet be unprepared
for the accident waiting to happen. I'm your friend, Smokey the Barbituate.

While I don't personally consume illegal drugs, I think that an individual has the right to make that decision on their own. It has always baffled my mind that our government thinks they can tell an individual what they can put in their own body. It is good we have education to say "this is harmful", however, it is absurd to use tax dollars to imprison a person for making a life choice. I figure as long as the government stays out of my way, I can make my on decisions on if "drugs are bad -mmmm kay!" . I agree that are drug laws are harsh, pointless in stopping real drug crime, and only hurts the "little guy".
