yes, cannabis is a mind-altering substance. so is alcohol. so is chocolate. that isn't the issue. the point is that it's no one's business if you want to eat a chocolate bar or drink a glass of wine or smoke a bowl when you get home. it's no one's business. you are not harming anyone else and anyone who wants to prohibit someone from doing so needs to go fuck themselves. this is the American nature, too - to have the freedom, as adults, to live your life without someone threatening you when you are doing no harm.
if you think that all the information in the drug policy forum is only an indication of the person linking to them... well, that's an idiotic position to take. it just is.
