I tend towards libertarian leanings, each person being ultimately responsible for their own actions unless it infringes upon the rights of others. The less government regulates us the better off we are in my opinion.
That being said, this is an interesting article about the effects of cannabis and popular misinformation about it.
Personally, I’m for the legalization of all drugs… not because I use any of them, I don’t. I have no more desire to inhale pot into my lungs than I do to inhale cigarette smoke into my lungs. I have no more desire to get messed up on cocaine than I do to get drunk off my ass. I don’t drink or smoke because I don’t like to damage my body worse than need be and I don’t like to be that far out of control… and I feel largely the same way about drugs. I like to be in full control of me. However, I do think that the effect of legalizing the drugs would be less disastrous than our war on drugs and the current underground that exists because drugs are illegal. Anyways… peace.
