Legalize it, legalize it legalize it legalize it legalize it!!!!!

Kids SHOULD NOT DO DRUGS OF ANYKIND!!thats our future you are playing with??
: James BASE727(M.C.P.) Try to have a good day and NO DRUGS..
Sorry James, you do not have any right to tell someone else what to put in their own body. Since every human being is the SOVEREIGN owner of their own body, trying to protect people from themselves is therefore an act of war by one sovereign against another. This is why the drug war has turned into a real war with real guns. This, in turn, is probably largely responsable for militarization of the inner-city youth(and especially the gang) culture.
Ifyou use "chid protection" type arguments, there are two problems: One, teenagers are past puberty(I developed at 13 1/3) and thus biologically adults.
Two, the drug war now kills more people than the drugs alone could dream of! Even if you factor in tobacco, it is better to die of lung cancer at age 60 than to be shot(or beaten to death by cops) over tobacco at age 15. The policy of schools on all smokable drugs should be the same for students and staff: take the smelly shit outdoors and downwind, so non-users aren't forced to smell it. Other than that, live and let live. Speaking of the drug war killing people, New Yorks fascist mayor "Adolf" Guiliani may run for president on a zero-tolerance campaign to include executing people for posessing as little as two ounces of pot! THIS is murder, and shows that the real purpose of the drug war is not to save lives but to accumulate power. Like the Nazis, all governments need a scapegoat.
