Everybody dies of something. While I respect people's choice to not indulge in recreational drug use, I am dismayed by the number of such people who believe that their choice is the only right one for everyone.
I am not going to argue the potential medical benefits or the alleged societal detriments of marijuana use. I'm not even going to defend the next point I make. Consider, though, what is wrong with recreational drug use (particularly of the non-addiciting variety), that is not a direct effect of it being illegal? I submit that there is nothing.
