Illegal drugs

[pjkeeley]

Still, I can't imagine trying to explain why I made heroin legal to my kids.

Were I the author of the Legalisation of Drugs Act 2028, I would explain to my kids, proudly, that we now live in a freer society in which the role of government is not to protect people from themselves, then explain that legal heroin has resulted in fewer overdoses, fewer diseases associated with injecting practices, and has allowed the government to impose a tax which has gone towards helping addicts. I would also tell them, in my firmest possible voice, never to use heroin. Ever.
