Addiction sucks, but then so do many things in life. Realize your limitations or be eaten by them. Right now we're just fillin gall our prisons with minor drug offenders and its overwhelming the system and making us dump way more money than is necessary into the prison system. Treatment based alternatives would be more effective. It costs something like $30,000 a yr to house someone in prison, and treatment runs cost about $3,000. That's 10x the cost to punish instead of treat. Economically it makes no sense.

Im not saying the risk is zero Dave. NOTHING has a zero risk factor

just like smoking cigarettes moderately won't cause cancer.

By no means is the risk factor EVER zero. But in terms of risks of smoking like that, and say, eating non-organic food which is sprayed with pesticides, or things that contain that one preservative that may cause cancer, etc. I would say that the relative risk is not much more than those everyday activities. Granted, the potential benefit of eating is higher than that of smoking, so it may be a easier risk to take, as I know you'll probably point something out along those lines.

Im aware a lot of people have trouble quitting smoking. But to say they CAN'T I am still going to say is completely wrong. Anyone CAN stop, it's whether or not they will actually DO it.
My grandfather died of smoking related illnesses. I know one man who lost his legs because of smoking related illnesses, and continued to smoke until he died five years later because he refused to quit. People like to go all fluffy and say "Oh it wasn't his fault, it was the cigarettes" but that's... not right. It's very easy to stop smoking, you just don't do it.

But to break a habit takes the kind of strength of will and responsibility that I am talking about.

As for more accessability, marijuana is percieved as being MORE accessable by adolescents than BEER.

Personally i dont see weed as anything more dangerous than Alcohol or Tobacco.

Lets face it though. anything mind altering is always going to be harmfull when abused. and there will ALWAYS be people out there who are going to be abuse it. Very weak minded people to let it control them the way it does.

Its not that stupidity should have a death sentance, just remove the warning labels and let nature take its course...

I believe that ALL drugs should be legalised because the state should not have control over people's bodies.

Does that mean all people, or are you happy with the state setting age limits for drug use?
