Recreational Drugs. [View All]

Usually I have strong opinions about almost all important subjects, but this is one of two subjects that I don't know what to think.

Recreational drugs have been around since dirt, so there is no getting rid of them in that sense, and some are easy to grow/come by. Lots of people like them, so it is also hard to prohibit for that reason. When I was younger, I wanted to try hallucinogens (for the experiences), but got scared of them as I got older, so I have never gotten into any illegal substance.

On the other hand, I really don't care what other people do, as long as it doesn't harm anyone but themselves.

On the third hand, some drugs have high social costs in various ways (crime, dependency, deaths...).

On the fourth hand, if drugs were legal, crime would go down, and people could be treated...

I see too many sides to this issue, and thus can not make up my mind on it. I am REALLY glad I don't have to make policy on this issue...

So, yesterday's poll was on porn. Today's is on drugs. I will try to cover all the bases.

I am not going to take this poll, because I don't know what to think about this issue. If you get here fast enough with suggestions, I will try to modify the poll for more categories...
