I know, I know...I'm a "crazy loony wackjob" for thinking that. But that's just how I feel. Too many innocents have been hurt by all of these substances for me to want to accept them. I know that they are readily available. I believe in past posts I've addressed some ways to help with that. I've also given some suggestions on how our prisons can actually be used to save the state money. Nothing like labor at cost to save buck or two.

This is the thing that gets me...most of the people on this board seem intelligent. Yet many appear to do drugs or would do them if they were legal knowing the harmful effects. Many say, "I have this under control it could never happen to me". There have been plenty of people who have thought that as well. Then they end up killing a family while DUI. The tragedy is just too great. But you know it''s a waste and yet it's something sought after. What has caused this? Hollywood glorifying it? It's a decay on society, plan and simple.

Go out and shoot pool, learn guitar, go rock climbing (lots of fun there), there are plenty of things that you can have a good time at w/o running the chance of harming yourself or others.
