i agree. the use of drugs in one's home is of no concern to the state, and it should mind its own business what one does in his or her own home. but excluding the state's paternalism, drugs are no joke. they are the loan shark of the emotions and body. they will definitely provide you with pleasure and escape. but be ready when the drug says it's payback time. it will not be cute. the fun comes with great debt and interest.
