[QUOTE="soberups, post: 502755, member: 14668"] I am somewhat of a libertarian; to a large extent I feel that we should have the freedom to choose what we put into our bodies. I also feel, however, that there are substances such as cocaine, meth and heroin that are so immediately addictive that there is really no such thing as a free choice. These substances are flat out toxic. I would put marijuana in the same category as alcohol; it is potentially harmful but for many people it can be used and enjoyed [I]in moderation.[/I] It should be legalized and taxed, with the proceeds used to fund rehabilitaton programs. I have yet to meet or hear of anyone who could use cocaine, crack, meth or heroin in moderation. For my part, there is no such thing as moderation. I am a full-blown alcoholic, so my only two options are being drunk every day or to be clean and sober and in recovery. For the last 12 years I have chosen to be clean and sober one day at a time.
