whenever I took drugs, it always increased my paranoia, rather than making me think I was bulletproof. taking drugs or getting drunk is not an acceptable reason for bad behaviour.

Coleridge , Burroughs, Kerouac, The beatles, Charlie parker, Louis Armstrong....druggy people have made significant contributions to our culture. if thats how they choose to live, lets have the maximum freedom possible for everybody.

also if you decriminalise, you cut out the gangsters and you have factories purifying the dope and making the supplies and you give these countries where they grow it a proper financial base less need for foreign aid.

Just sound economics, supply and demand...you can't buck the market!

You haven't got shares in the corrections industry by any chance?
