I just don't feel that government should have that much authority over peoples' lives like that. I morally hate drugs, but socially, I only feel it proper that government should not dictate what a person can do.

And there our views differ. I believe the government should have every right to dictate what a person should do; that's the point of having a government. If it's not corrupt, a moral government should make moral choices. Murder is illegal because it's wrong. As is stealing and torture. Drugs are the same way.

It harms children, damages the lungs, and shrinks portions of the brain. Driving under the influence of marijuana also contributes to deaths and injuries.
