That, is your opinion!
Doesn't mean it's the case... Theory and practice are two different things...
It isn't the role of government to make laws that live our lives for us. You think something is immoral? Well that's fine but someone else might not and you can't have government telling us what our morals should be. In a sense the fact that these drugs are illegal outlines how democracy is bad. The government takes away our personal freedoms, we have a right to do what we want to OUR OWN BODY. That's what it comes to. Smoking a joint is not taking away life, liberty, or property from anyone else.
Too much freedom kills freedom. Because once you start about "we should make this, that and those legal", then what will be the stopping line once you start a legalizing spree?
Goal is not either zero freedom or total freedom, thanks God for that. Both are negative towards society, the first is dictatorship, leading to revolution, and the second is anarchy leading to chaos.
