-Caveat Lector-
If I want to go to the hardware store, pick up a can of gold spray paint,
bring it home and spray it into a bag and inhale..THAT'S MY RIGHT!!! I
would be incredibly stupid, but it's still my right to do to my body what I
want to do. If I get all screwed up on paint fumes and get into a car..my
rights end because my "choice" would jeopardize other innocent people. Do
you understand about "freedom of choice"? People have to and should be held
accountable for their own actions if their actions interfere with other
people's rights, privacy and lifestyles. If my actions don't effect anyone
but myself, and I practice my choices in the privacy of my own home, then
nobody, especially the hypocritical government, has any right to tell me
what I can and cannot do to my own body...PERIOD!
The War on Drugs is about MONEY and CONTROL!!! Alcohol, Pharmaceutical
Poison and Tobacco are alright but smoking a dried out plant isn't? The War
on Drugs is a fraud and people are finally seeing that by the results of the
Medical Marijuana initiatives. Use common sense and see this issue for what
it is and support freedom of choice!
