No, because I don't have to prove it to you. Those that matter know. You don't
matter.

Illegal here.

My personal opinion is that it would be better to legalise all drugs. Including
heroin. The illegality of the stuff generates a lot of undesirable side
effects. Such as people stealing to obtain the money for the heavy overpriced
stuff. If it were legally available there would be no need for a black market
and people would not need to steal to get it.

If people choose to ruin their lives with drugs, it is their choice. After all
we allow them to make that same choice for alcohol and tobacco.

But as it stands, it is illegal, my POV is that of a minority.

There has been an experiment, giving it to a select group of closely watched
addicts. The idea was that that way they would stop stealing. The experiment
was terminated.

So do guns. Why don't you ban guns?

Yeah, keep your head in the sand. :-(
