My thing is, I don't care what its effects are. It could be the most dangerous substance on the face of the earth. If people want to destroy themselves with it, or any other drug, they should be free to do so.

We know injesting rat poison or antifreeze will "eff" you up -- but should it be illegal to injest? Should it be illegal to kill yourself?

The only caveat to that is, no one should be responsible for saving you from your self-induced destruction. I realize we're not at that point yet, and in this society measures are set up to be taken to care for those that injure themselves by their own actions. So any decriminalization of drugs should introduced simultaneously with legislation to remove the burden on the rest of society to help people out of their own "moronic" actions.
