WUS, I think Machine might be on some of the stuff he's defending. As you point out, the government doesn't stick the needle in someone's arm. I think it's tragic that so many young people are dying. Tongight on the news they said the lady who was found in her car had died from an overdose. Left in a parking lot for a week by others who had taken the drug.
The saddest part of it all is that anyone who ultimately gets addicted to any drug takes it consiously for the first time. I realize when they hooked it's hard to get off but the first time it's a decision by that person to take the drug.
The best way to combat it is to jail the suppliers and cut off the sources. Educate the young people at school and more importantly at home to know lives are ruined by these drugs. As you say, it's common sense. Unfortunately our society is becoming void of common sense.
