I'm against drugs - for me. That goes for alcohol too. I can't stand being around drunk people. The fact that alcohol is legal and stuff like marijuana isn't baffles my mind.

Anyway, getting back on track, I maintain that people should be able to do whatever they want with their body so long as you're not endangering others - directly or through negligence. So if you really want to shoot up heroin, that's your prerogative. Just don't go out driving under the influence or robbing people to get a fix.

I really dislike alcohol too and have no idea why thats legal and cannabis isnt - it makes people into monsters and eventually damages all the organs of the body - weed just gives you the munchies and makes you laugh a lot (in my opinion) alcohol is the hardest of the hard drugs with tobacco second on the list - I dont like to mix with people who use either. Then theres all the legally sanctioned stuff that is legally pushed by the pharmaceuticals companies and GP's who are into it for the perks of the job - this is one heck of a screwed up society we are living in....

I use A LOT of alcohol.  It's cheap and legal.  I was diagnosed with chronic depression in 1963, and I've self-medicated, since anti-depressants were, at the time, pretty unimpressive.  I'm better now.

Best solution is to legalize drugs, and thus removing the need for dealers and crime to get your fix.

Otherwise i think the best "solution" still is rehabilitation and other treatments, unless you have hurt somebody - then you need some hard time,.

I agree with thom. Arguably any miss use of harmful addictive substances (Alcohal,Tobacco, even Caffeine for that matter..) is not "good" yet that is legal. The argument could be made that "hard drugs" are more addictive/harmful which is just a cop out in my opinion. More people ultimatly are harmed by prohibition. In the 1930's the American government got the bright idea to ban alcohal, what did that accomplish? Organised crime and an unsafe black market ditrubution with traces of lead in the product.

it is hard, personally i feel it that some drugs are really simply well i would say harmless but i mean less damaging like alchol like of course weed and is often potrayed as extremely dangerous, when in reality its not. I mean the only so called drug i use is well Marijuana, so i can have first hand experince when speaking about this drug. Its a hard topic indeed.

How are lawyers, corporate prisons and the police system going to keep getting funds if you do something that crazy?

Let's try crazy.
