I like this point you made: The government doesn't want you to ruin your life with drugs, so they jail you for drugs, which ruins your life! It really makes no sense. I'm just a middle aged grandma, and I never even smoked a cigarette. But I am tired of the government's "war on drugs." No plant made by God should be illegal. We can talk about the regulation of processed plants, like granulated sugar, cocaine and heroin; but it's time for plants like sugar cane, coca leaves and marijuana leaves to be legal for people to use as they choose.
