A short rant

People who are against drug use are at best misguided and at worst blithering idiots. While anyone is free to choose not to use drugs, that does not make them better than someone who uses drugs.

"I'm better than you because I enjoy my life naturally and without chemicals."
No. You can think that you're better than me all you want. However, this does not actually make you "better." That's like saying that Michael Jordan is a better athlete than Lance Armstrong. You can't compare the two. Likewise, you can't compare a life with drug use and a life without. They're simply different.

"If I use drugs, the 'natural highs' I have will no longer be enjoyable."
This isn't true - I know from personal experience. You don't compare life's highs and lows to each other.

"Using drugs is wrong."
Yes, it is illegal. But so is speeding, cheating on your taxes, and underage drinking. Someone's drug use should not influence any decisions about their character or their integrity. If they let their drug use interfere with living their life as a normal, productive human being - then we have a problem. If not, who are you to judge?
