My opinions are just that, MINE but here's a question ..
In the event that drugs are legalized like alcohol ( also a drug
) and tobacco and cafeine, who will take responsibility for
housing and feeding those, who are now blameless, individuals
who can't or won't take responsibility for themselves and work
or whatever. With freedom and liberty come a lot of
responsibility. Too many people today balme every damn thing in
the world for their problems - and get away with it....
1. My grear grand parents were slaves, I suffer because of that,
so I killed 30 White people.
2. My momma didn't give me no tit so I raped those women and
killed them
and on, and on...............

I vote for "nobody". I firmly believe that those who will not accept
responsibility for themselves are best removed from the gene pool
(preferably before they have the opportunity to breed).

That they are allowed to "get away with it" is a _big_ problem. But the
typical 'liberal' solutions to social problems seem (at least to me) all
centered around disallowing failure. Thus the "hapless drug victim"
must be coddled and supported by society (at our expense, of course),
lest they experience discomfort.
I like to point out that evolution always requires multiple generations,
and that when nothing dies, nothing evolves. This means, of course,
that the liberal money-throwers are unlikely to ever see their
"benevolence" produce a good result, even if said benevolence _could_
produce improvements. And while offering up the public teat may help in
certain limited and individual cases, it generally only weakens the
resolve of the suckler to improve hir situation.
Failure should _never_ be disallowed or legislated away. It's the
single most important contributor to evolution (animal or social).
OBDisclaimer: As a matter of fact, I _am_ a Social Darwinist.
