Hard Drugs should be legal

"Drugs" are drugs because they provide no tangible benefit - so they can't be prescribed,

Most of the "illegal" drugs have a very long and ongoing use in medicine for their benefitial properties and can be prescribed.

But if they are prescribed the government-doctor conspiracy is still telling you when and how many of them you can put in your mouth. There is no such law for LEGO blocks, I can put as many of them into my mouth as I want and it is not illegal, I want the same to apply to heroin as well and I want my kids to enjoy the freedom to buy heroin for themselves whenever they damn well want to.

I'd go further. The long term acute effects are often less toxic than legal drugs.

I'd personally stick to over 18 only. But with that attitude I don't imagine your kids will make it to adulthood in any case...

Come on, everybody knows that your kids end up taking every forbidden substance in huge masses anyway just because it is forbidden.

I find it rather amusing that some of the logic of the pro-drugs group is that "we have two harmful substances which are legal and causing problems in society, so let's add some more!"

The government has no right to tell me what I can and can not put into my body. They only have a right to reprimand me if I begin to harm others or property. Tuff this isn't about slavery or the defense department. It is about the legalization of drugs. The government has no right to micromanage me.

They have the right to do whatever the American populace as a whole tells them to do. The beauty of democracy is that if you want drugs legalized, you can make a political party that will legalize them.

Smokers harm only themselves (and barely that if they quit soon enough) and alcohol is the foundation of our society

See, the problem is that they don't just harm themselves. They harm everyone around them even more since the people around him are actually inhaling smoke without filters. That is the reasoning behind the banning of smoking in all small closed comercial surfaces in most of Western Europe.
