ADULTS SHOULD BE FREE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT
I am writing in regard to a recent letter-writer's thoughtful letter,
"New Plan Needed To Fight Illegal Drugs," published here March 25.
In a drug transaction, there is a willing buyer and a willing seller,
and both walk away happy unless one or both get arrested.
Adult citizens of a so-called free country should be free to smoke,
swallow, snort or inject any substance they want -- as long as they
are personally responsible for the consequences.
Our government cannot protect adult citizens from themselves and has
no legitimate authority attempting to do so.
A free country should be -- a free country.
