drugs

Something I don't get about the world. Drugs, why are they so bad. And I know that the biggest argument is that some drugs may harm people health, but we would not allow marijuana even though it does less damage to you than both smoking and alcohol.

I mean even if they do hurt people, shouldn’t people have the right to put whatever they want in side there own bodies. When did it be okay for government to regulate something that has a personal effect and nothing else.

Another argument I hear about drugs is that if you by them you are supporting organised crime. This is a simple problem with a simple solution. Legalise drugs. If they were legal it would cripple the funding of organised crime and we could also tax the hell out of it thus making more money for the community.

Even if you don't like the idea of legal pot. You must realise that making it illegal simply doesn’t work, people still do drugs. People have been put it prison, kids kicked out of college and uni just because of a little green leaf?

I want to explain this part very clearly though. I do not do drugs, I have no want nor need to do drugs, I think that people who do them aren’t thinking it through, so don't assume I’m just a stoner and that’s why I have this view. I actually believe in self determination in a society and I also believe that if it isn't hurting anyone why not let people do what they want.
