^we've got plenty of freedom of choice. If you don't believe me, go to a gun store in a bible belt state. I'd like to see Canada replicate that glorious selection.
I believe you - I used to live in North Carolina (and I've been to stores/shops, auctions and such). And I still got family there, so I'm in the area once or twice a year. That being said, I prefer Canada's gun laws for reasons I won't go into because it's off topic, and it's not what I was alluding to with my previous post.
I speak solely of drug policy, and the way in which that policy is - IMO negatively - influenced when religion is combined with politics (and science, logic, common sense is kicked to the curb).
Some people might consider me a hypocrite for saying this, but I'm a Christian myself, or I at least consider myself one. I just don't interpret the Bible the same way certain denominations - such as Baptists - may. I used to get dragged every Sunday to a Baptist church, so I know what it's like and how members think of recreational drugs in general.
Regardless, I don't believe it's a sin to "get high." And I hate this war on drugs with a passion. I feel it's caused a lot more problems than it's solved, a lot more damage than improvement, a lot more bad than good, etc.
Every time I read about a non violent drug user being killed by police it makes me wanna spew. Every time I witness a family member pointing fingers at users and considering them to be invalids who deserve death and nothing more, it tends to tick me off.
