Drug abuse has no place in society.

She was not abusing drugs, and whom are these "decent" people? People you define as decent could be alcoholics, wife beaters, tax-evaders, whatever, as long as they're not using drugs, right?

You're correct, Drug abuse has no place in a society.

However drug use does. The unfortunate thing is, it's simply impossible for you to make a distinction between the two.


I use drugs. Ibuprofin, excedrin, etc. I don't effect society by my use of them in any way. I don't even smell bad when I use them, not that that's a crime. Drugs can be useful perhaps even including MJ. Heck, my dad died a slow painful death he could have used some relief. So use the compounds in MJ that help and leave out the ones that get you high.

That's where I am at. I am against mind altering chemicals used for recreation and excape from reality, outside of any medical justification. I think I am clear on this, but I'm sure I didn't get one word quite perfect enough for someone so they'll argue about it.

I don't believe society is served in any way when folks check out of reality, destroy their minds and bodies, and ultimately society pays a heavy price for that abuse.

Don't know how else to frame it. I'm sure someone will argue.
