But I believe out of principle for one, you shouldn't have to go to prison for using drugs and also you should be able to do what you want with your own body.

No you don't do drugs, we believe you.

So far as being able to do what I want with my body,

I've always wanted to save money by not using toilet paper, but even I, after a few days of bad aroma have had to bow to convention.

Back tp the drugs,

If you don't use them, why fuss about them?
You just lately seem 'spaced out', as you claim, without such artificial aids.

Have a read at this: The Dark Side of Sleeping Pills, an eBook by Daniel F. Kripke, MD.


One cause of death was especially increased. Among men, those who took sleeping pills 30 times a month had 7 times the risk of suicide! Women who took sleeping pills 30 times a month had 2 times the risk of suicide. Nevertheless, the suicides were only a small portion of deaths associated with using sleeping pills. Deaths from other common causes such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke were also increased among sleeping pill users.

I wouldn't mind them taking good quality known drugs like ecstacy, cannabis if the dealer knew they were pure. But not if they went into a night club buying and using all sorts of unknown drugs.
