RE: Creating Lasting Change by Getting People to Change
Yeah, drugs might be bad (some more than others), but that doesn't mean people should go to jail for using them... :/

Haha I look at as a matter of how they are used. I would say that it isn't a great idea to snort a bunch of coke at a party but if I was having a tooth pulled and the choice was to put some on my gums or have nothing for the pain, I would take the cocaine every time. The problem though is that some people don't know how to see past the "drugs are bad" thing enough to see that the statement doesn't reflect reality. In that sense, the issue is getting them to cast off their faith in whatever authority told them that this was true and getting them to put into something that won't lie to them to for its own gains.
The way I see it, all things are what they are. They only have meaning because we choose to give it to them.
