In the United States today, drugs are illegal. Or at least the "bad" drugs. In our most recent presidential election, we had two major candidates, Al Gore and George W. Bush, whom admitted that they have used "bad" drugs. It is illegal to possess, grow, sell, or manufacture those drugs in this country. Both candidates admitted using the drugs, and both admitted to using them more than just casually. They admitted to using them on a regular basis. That makes both of them criminals at some point in this country, regardless of anything else that they have said or done. Neither of them support drug legalization. What they're saying is that two former drug users support the fact that they are criminals. This makes no sense to me. The fact that we had two criminals run for president doesn't bother me, and doesn't seem to bother anyone else either. Shit, when was the last time we had a president that wasn't a criminal. What bothers me is that through all of their experiences, they haven't seemed to have learned a fucking thing! The fact that we were going to have a moron either way really pisses me off. Drugs aren't bad. It takes people to find them, people to grow them, people to process them, people to sell them, people to ship them, and most importantly, people to create a market for them. People to abuse them. That's why people think of them as bad. Because people seek the evil in themselves. I'm not saying that drug users are bad. I'm saying that they have problems, just like the people that try to put them in jail have problems. The people trying to look for those "bad" people are just as fucking guilty as the people abusing drugs.
