Also, no drug is harmful. Marijuana, alcohol, nicotine, paint.
If it's just sitting there on a table with no one touching it, it's not harmful. It's an inanimate object.
Drugs don't hurt people, people hurt people.
If a man beats his kid while he's drinking we don't blame it on the booze do we? No.
It's time for us as a society to stop giving abusers excuses. And not blame "Harmfulness" on material or chemicals which are essentially neutral.
Sorry but that argument is ridiculous. No one is talking about the actions of the inanimate object themselves. "Drug
USE", that would be the USE of it. Not the action of it sitting there, but the use of the drug does actually cause harm when you're talking about cocaine, heroine, tobacco. Those all cause harm to your body. The only reason that these objects are around, is with the intent of consuming and using them. Yes people hurt people. They hurt themselves, and can be potential threats to others when their minds are altered. AKA driving drunk. AKA USING or CONSUMING alcohol before driving some where and then killing a family. They are mind altering toxic substances that DO affect others.
There is not other use for cocaine, heroine, ect other than to be used as a drug. These drugs destroy your body. When someone is smoking, they subject everyone to their 2nd hand smoke which is more harmful to your body than inhaling the smoke first hand. When you're smoking in your house, the toxins from the smoke actually retain in the wood walls and can't be removed until the house is gutted. The walls are literally leaching toxins from that point on. I really think people are so ignorant just trying to find any way to cry about freedom. Of course the government is gonna ban drugs that ONLY cause self destruction, and may also have negative affects on others. I can't imagine a world where people are free to be coke addicts and it actually becomes a common thing. It should be something that is condemned. It shouldn't be encouraged. As a society, we're better than that. That would only bring us down to a place where we're worse than we already are.
