ALCOHOL and tobacco are the two biggest killers of Australians. I
wonder how deserted the moral high grounds would be if they were both
made illegal and people were forced to seek their poison on the black
market in a situation similar to Prohibition in America in the 1920s.

I firmly believe it is an individual's right to take whatever
substance he/she wishes as long as it has no direct effect on anybody
else.

It is time for decriminalisation.

All we achieve with prohibition is to line the pockets of the drug
dealers and to force desperate users into crime.
