Message: [QUOTE="Otto'd, post: 1031826, member: 4671"] ^^^ This guy gets it. Certainly hard drugs are bad and dangerous. I always use the tobacco corollary when people are questioning this and say that if hard drugs were legal and regulated we would have a nation of junkies. Cigarettes (nicotine) are one of the most addictive substances on the planet. They are proven killers via lung cancer, heart disease, hypertension, etc... They are legal. People can choose whether to go down that road or not. Because they are legal does everyone smoke? No they do not. As a matter of fact there are less smokers in today's population than at any point in the last 60 years. Why? Because people have been educated to their dangers. What was out parents excuse for smoking? I remember a lot of "We didn't know....." answers. Well, now people know and the majority of the people choose not to smoke. Because of EDUCATION. [/QUOTE]
