Doing almost anything to excess can be dangerous and potentially damaging and there will always be people who can't control themselves with their addiction of choice, whether it be drugs, gambling, food.
In general, I think what one does in the privacy of their own home is really their own business as long as it is not harming anyone else.
Incidentally, I just did a rather extended stint in the hospital where I was quite heavily medicated with morphine and Percocet for a fairly long time... withdrawl sucks big monkey d*ck and I plan on not doing it again.

I am a firm supporter of the legalization of weed.
I have tried everything else, from LSD and Mescaline to coke, ketamine and heroin once or twice. I love me some K, and really enjoy a few good rails of blow, but the rest is not good. Morphine and codiene and heroin screw up my stomach. Crystal has me wired for 2 days after a tiny bump and I get so sick of drinking NyQuil to take the edge off it.
I don't like to drink and am too damn old to be trying to score in the park at night so I prefer to just smoke my little bowl a few times a day and kick back and watch my game shows.
Good old 420... my favorite time of day!

I grew up in the 1950's. Yes, I'm an old geek therefore stupid and senile. But believe it or not, America was a much, much better place way back then. In the last several decades though America has been rotting away from within. Lots of reasons for this decay that's destroying our nation, and one of them is the drug epedemic.

to quote- "one person's passion may be an others poison". you speak of drug use- OK so the occasional toke on a spliff won't kill you, popping the odd tab of acid while out in the desert plains will make for one hell of a trip- quiet spiritual really, what harm the sneaky "E" at tonight's hippest trance rave. take me to another place brother- lets groove baby and all that jazz. as Jim Morrison once said-"8 to 5 no-one here gets out alive" so given that we all die why not have some fun along the way. great- not a bad idea - but wait there is more to it than this.........................., see heroin addicts, crack addicts, meths addicts, gangs, violence, murder, death, abuse, neglect, abandoned children and now that rosy image of tripping the light fandango is tempered with Freddy Kruger doing a tap dance on your face with his scissor hands- not a great dream- just one hellish nightmare. a tough call- walked both sides of the fence and survived, in one sense it is akin to a spiritual awakening- it was the trip promised by Carlos Castaneda in the Yaqui Way of Knowledge, but with time it becomes hellish- so maybe try it once, flip for a second but know absolutely that for the third and fourth you now walk where angels fear to tread- watch out, you playing with the GRIM REAPER.

Look at the crime that results from drug use. Specifically from drugs such as Meth, Heroin, PCP, Cocaine. 70% of all theft and robbery is spurred by addicts trying to get money for their habit. Marijuana may not be any worse than alcohol, but the rest sucks. e have had two armed robberies in my little town at drug stores this year by people desperate to get Oxycontin

Marijuana is not a drug. It is a very useful and resourceful plant with major economic and commercial purposes. All non natural drugs should remain illegal because of obvious health reasons.
Marijuana isn't always a gateway drug either, I know plenty of parents that have smoked since school and they are productive members of society.

I do not like abuse of drugs. However, I feel they should be decriminalized or legalized. It is essentially a victimless crime (except for the problems caused by the fact they are illegal and the "war on drugs")

i only find it acceptable if they are prescription drugs. i find it unacceptable when people mix drugs, take illegal drugs, and think they dont have side effects and take it for the sake of it, which in turn can endanger their lives

Drug use can be great.
Drug abuse is dangerous.
