Then people can learn to make educated decisions on their own about what happens to their body.

That statement could be the most ignorant thing i've ever heard.
Open your eyes dude you have no idea how many people are hurt by drugs. I have friends who have brothers sisters loved ones who have been killed by drugs. It matters thats debatable that they should be able to make that choice and that they are dumbasses for doing it or whatever, but there are countless other deaths and prison sentences that are all because of the massive controversy surrounding drugs.
There are people in tailand that are being killed by the thousands over the drug war. Participating in the drug trafficing network is like playing russian roulete with 5 bullets in the six shooter. The overwelming majority of the people that get seriously involved with drugs, and or tafficing drugs live very pitiful lifes of crime/prison/crime/prison. Have you ever seen blow or requim for a dream. Those are toned down mass media consumable versions of how the drug world works.
The problem doesn't lie in drugs however. The problem lies in people many people who don't understand that drugs don't solve problems. Drugs aren't a way of getting away from it all.
I wishs i lived in a world where everybody was as responsible and as well off as the people in my circle of friends, however they arn't and the world is slowly paying for it.
I'm not trying to solve the world problems here i'm just trying to educate myself about them, I don't claim to have all the answers or any for that matter. I don't claim to know everything, I just like to stay edcuated about issues that might concern me.
True wisdom is realizing that you know nothing.
