It was legal to buy cocaine and morphine over the counter without a prescription until around the 1910s.

You could buy amphetamines over the counter without a prescription until the 1960s.

The government doesn't have any right to tell people what drugs they can and can't do.

Making all these drugs illegal was done so the pharmaceutical companies that were getting big at the time could control the production of those substances and thus control who made the money.

Drug cartels are like the old bootleggers and gangsters during Prohibition.

I'm convinced that the majority of the drug cartels would cease to exist if there were legal means to purchase these drugs.

Many drugs are needlessly dangerous because there is no overseeing of production and no standards of quality in illegal drugs. Legalizing drug manufacturing would put an end to things like people lacing joints with fentanyl or cutting coke with who knows what.

It's none of my business what someone else decides to do concerning drugs. Sure, you'll have some idiots that get fucked up on them and wreck their cars, or beat the hell out of their spouse, but that's common with alcohol and I don't see anyone screaming to reinstate Prohibition.

I think people have been brainwashed into thinking that people who take those drugs are bad and "junkies", but once you strip all the BS away, it's no different than booze and cigarettes.

There are plenty of recreational or medicinal drug users who can use drugs responsibly. They shouldn't be penalized because other people have little self control.

If you don't like drugs, then don't do them. If your family members have problems because they can't control themselves concerning drugs, that's a shame. But millions of other people shouldn't be penalized because your family members have addiction problems.

I don't say this because I use drugs, because I don't. I don't smoke or drink, either. I have a family history of addiction so I decided to not ever go there because of it.

I'm speaking on behalf of people like my grandfather who was dying of pancreatic cancer at 89, and the doctors didn't want to prescribe him stronger pain meds because they didn't want him to become addicted to them. The idiocy of that still pisses me off, 20 years later.

I'm speaking on behalf of people who are able to control issues like anxiety with small amounts of marijuana with little to no side effects, rather than taking various drugs from Big Pharma that causes multiple serious issues.

So yeah, if you don't like drugs, don't do them. Expecting the rest of the world to abstain because you don't like it is the epitome of Karen behavior.

If the government just has to be our nanny, then legalize these drugs that were legal for thousands of years before the turn of the 20th century. Then tax the shit out of it.
