1 Answer

Answer :

Alright, IMHO… The war on drugs is simply useless and pointless, as long as there are naive and ignorant people around the world who believe that ”a man should have the right to hurt himself as long as he’s not affecting anybody else.”.... So basically, before trying to fight drugs, we should fight this stupid type of thinking first.. NOTE: However, this is only one side of the problem, and not the whole case..
