Just like anything else.
I think lots of pharmaceuticals have their place in this world too, but I don't wave flags for Vicodin, because it's not illegal. (yet.) The government has no business telling me what I can do with my own body. They never have. They never will.

you might have a point that plenty of pot abusers feel like "crusaders" who "fight" against establishment, and it's "hip"
Although in 99 pct. cases they in fact mainly can't keep themselves under control
But we're in total agreement - everyone has the right to fuck themselves up any way they want, and while I believe that smoking weed is a terrible waste of time, you have all the right in the world to do it
As Montesqieu or Voltaire or some other of those French philosophical pricks said "I might disagree with your opinion, but I'll always fight for your right to have it"
It's just it really gets so annoying and odd to see so many people who could live a much better life fucking themselves up with the "miracle drug" and praising "the holy herb" "harmless" "so nice" "so healthy" "so cool that I can't stay without it for a day"
I should start a new Church - like the "Church of the holy leaf" - everyone stoned, everyone happy, brother red eyes preaching today..
but DON'T YOU EVER SAY ANYTHING AGAINST THE HOLY LEAF it's a SIN and we're gonna extradict you!
