Drugs are bad mmkay.

Most people do think of drugs very cut and dry, but in all honesty anyone with half a brain can tell that there is a lot more to most drugs than getting high. All the terms we currently use in modern society have negative connotations. Why can't getting high just mean the act of ingesting a particular drug? It adds a negative stereotype to whoever is utilizing this particular drug, and that stereotype can range from bad to worse. People associate marijuana with lazy, unambitious people and similar scenarios for other drugs. I am not supporting using just any drug, because certain drugs are more than most people can handle. Marijuana is a drug most people can handle where as heroine is not.


Certain drugs have been extensively studied and have been proven to be virtually harmless yet are illegal, and there are many prescription drugs that can be detrimental to your health when used just above the recommended dose. So why does the government encourage the use of potentially lethal drugs, and criminalize drugs that are naturally growing plants of the earth? We're scared of global warming and what not, but the world is aprox. four billion years old and has gone through ice ages and extinctions time and time again, but still it survives. I think a planet that has experience which we cannot begin to comprehend can do no wrong. There are an unreal number of incarcerated individuals due to drug charges. Many of the people in jail for drug charges are arrested at a young age and treated as if they fully understood the magnitude of their transgressions. On second thought maybe our court system is overestimating the magnitude of the situation. Personally I would encourage people to experience life to the fullest, and this does involve breaking laws; these laws should not be there in the first place, mind you. The moral of the story is that drugs aren't all bad, and allow you to fully understand the world which we inhabit.
