Re: Far out, man!
That recreational drugs can be harmful is undeniable. But tossing people into jail for using them seems to me counterproductive and more damaging to that person than almost anything they could do to themselves with the drugs.
We learned from Prohibition that making these things a crime generates a huge shitload of criminals. We're finding that out again.
It's a difficult issue, and I grant I don't know as many sides of it as some do.
