Mishka, The legal and police actions against drugs are the result of petty and not so petty thievery - burglary, robbery, and assaults against the general population. Don't mistake political rhetoric for root causes. We are a very tolerant bunch of people - so long as you don't bother us. I don't care if the guy next door wants to smoke pot, do meth, or kill himself. It's OK with me so long as he doesn't try to sell it to my kids, or blow his house up and damage mine, or ask me to help him kill himself. You should have the freedom here to reach out all the way to the tip of your neighbor's nose, but not to hit it. Regards, Bob S.
