I'd like to add that it seems to me adult citizens of a so-called free country should be able to smoke, swallow, snort or inject any substance they want. And be personally responsible for the consequences. Every justification for the criminalization for certain politically selected drugs, can also be made for the criminalization of a long list of potentially unhealthy foods. Do we want our police arresting and jailing us for eating cheeseburgers, hot dogs or corn dogs? Hopefully not. Do we want our police arresting and jailing each other for eating doughnuts?
