If you don’t believe laws should exist in general you don’t have to participate in the conversation. This could include any country/government. Please keep it civil.

    It’s all fun and games until it ruins your life. I support a total ban, akin to gambling. There’s no reason anyone needs to do it.

      How far would you like to see that ban extend? Would it only include XYZ drug deemed harmful or would it encompass any mind/body altering substance like caffeine/nicotine?

      You seem to be one of the only people who think differently here, could I ask you to please respond to the questions? Most others have similar opinions to me so it’s not productive to ask them questions as they think similar, but you might actually have something to contribute to the discussion.

      With that, I echo some of the questions that were made, plus a few more:

      • How do you define what’s a drug then?
      • Does alcohol/tobacco fit that description?
      • Should alcohol/tobacco be banned under that law?
      • Gambling is not banned, most places have casinos operational, and even the places that don’t are still allowed to play with friends for money, would your law be similar in that home use is fine?

      I understand where you’re coming from but I think the majority of drug users are able to use responsibly. And for me, marijuana has health benefits. It helps with my anxiety and depression and helps me sleep better sometimes. That said, I have found I don’t need it as much since I’ve started getting good counseling.

      I don’t agree with your position, but people downvoting you for it based on the question is nonsense.
