How'd that work out for 2 kids this weekend?

/sarc = sarcasm

But I'll bite!

I bet I can find 10 examples of people the same age who died from alcohol consumption for every example of a death from MDMA

Should we outlaw alcohol again, or do we blame the user for not knowing how to use their drug?

My point is that stupid people will kill themselves. We can't blame a substance when it's the user's responsibility to know how much to use.

legalize drugs and those who sell it will have to inform the public on safe usage.

Prohibition makes bad things worse.

Many times worse.

There's no good reason for prohibition.

so suicide should be legal?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

yes. if you don't believe it should be, show me where in any state, or the US constitution, that it gives government the authority to prohibit suicide.

Yes. I'd have to agree.

But thankfully, she already has that right.
