I have no problem with drugs being used for medicinal purposes. I do have a problem with drugs being used for recreational purposes. I don't mind the recreational part so much if it only affects the person doing it.

Example: Want to smoke a cigarette? Go right ahead, as long as I don't have to smell that disgusting shit. Parents shouldn't be allowed to smoke around children or animals either, because then the smoker is affecting others around them. Tax the fuck out of cigarettes to offset the future healthcare costs that are sure to follow when dipshit smokers get cancer.

Want to drink alcohol or smoke pot? Go right ahead, but if you drive or otherwise put someone in danger you should have your fucking head removed from your body with a rusty butterknife. I can't think of a more selfish thing than to kill somebody because you wanted to "get a little high."

Unfortunately, most people are too fucking stupid to refrain from driving intoxicated or doing anything else that puts other people in danger. Why should I have to die because you wanted to ingest some fucking chemicals to have fun? Drug abuse, no matter what particular substance is being abused, causes way more death, destruction, and loss of productivity than any benefit it creates. Fuck no to legalization.
