It is my body, I am an adult, I can make my own decisions. Who is some corrupt MP or some cop or bureaucrat to tell me what I can and cannot do with my own body? There are many good reasons to use drugs. The drug caffeine helped create some of the world's best music, never mind pot, LSD, cocaine and booze. If you accept the government has any authority to tell you what drugs you can and cannot use, then you must accept that they own you. You are the government's property, like cattle. If you accept that, then you deserve to have no rights at all. Russell Barth, Ottawa - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
