DRUGS!

In previous blogs I have talked about people who discriminate against race, ability, etc. What about the discrimination and stigmas created about people who use "drugs". My opinion about drugs is quite simple. Why should the government have the right to tell me or anyone else if we can do drugs? Over 7 million people smoke marijuana in the US alone. Marijuana is actually considered America's largest cash crop. The government bullies people who partake in the use of recreational drugs. There should be laws that regulate drug use, just as there is alcohol, but the outright lies and propaganda they use is quite astonishing.

A lot of people use the argument that "drugs" are dangerous. Well, my argument is that getting into a car is dangerous, yet millions still choose to do it. There are more fatalities cause by car accidents then there are for all the deaths related to "drugs". Take marijuana for example. I know that it is a bad example because you cannot die from overdosing, but that is the point. You CANNOT die from smoking marijuana! Then why is it illegal you may ask, because the government has decided that they can bully us. And after all why not, we let them.
