100% Pure, Uncut, Ridiculousness

-Why aren't drugs legal? I do not do them myself, nor do I endorse their usage among the ones I care for, but I still want to know this: Why are drugs illegal? American politicians should have learned their lesson during prohibition; as Thomas Fuller said in Gnomologia; "The more laws the more offenders." This is the land of the free, right? The government has no business sticking its nose into what Americans do in their personal time within the safety of their own homes.

-I'm going to step out on a limb and say that alcohol affects basic and advanced motor skills more so than marijuana, or for that matter, any other narcotic. Yet alcohol is still legal and marijuana is not. After all this talk of Uncle Sam peeking into our windows on a daily basis, the actual numbers concerning this fiasco aren't so pretty either. The government's only job is to protect its people; it's not here to make more enemies of the state through absurd legislative rulings that are outside of its purpose.
