    Nah I'm a good lad me, don't touch drugs apart from coffee and coca cola! I think legalising cannabis in the UK though is a complete joke, you either make all drugs socially acceptable (and legal) or none.

    My own War on Drugs page says this:

    The American government exists at the consent of the governed. Americans are the beneficiaries of a long liberal democratic tradition which places individual liberty at the height of our value system. This liberty has given us peace and prosperity at levels which were completely unknown to our ancestors. The War on Drugs is a direct threat to that long and illustrious legacy.

    The War on Drugs envisions individual Americans as government property. By self-medicating, American citizens are seen as damaging that government property.

    The United States government then spends billions of taxpayer dollars per year to protect that government property from the American citizenry.

    I am not government property and I object to being taxed to pay for a government program which treats me as if I were.

    Too funny. That kind of me-centric stuff turns me off because if you extrapolate it out you end up in a much worse situation. You only have to review the social history of the last 200 years to see that with the bad controls have come very good things too and it's about finding the right balance not outright rejection.

    Over the course of the last 200 years, the world worked out this conflict of "me-centric" vs. "state-centric" to a final conclusion.

    Adam Smith won; Karl Marx lost.

    Smith brought prosperity; Marx brought poverty.

    Smith brought a high standard of living; Marx brought the dark ages into modern times.

    Smith brought civil rights; Marx brought civil obligations.

    Even the Russians have given up and moved to a "me centric" model.

    The war is over.

    Sorry. :)
