I am sure that you do. I consider the marketing of dangerous substances to call for regulation, and the propensity to abuse to be a reason to restrict certain things to a doctor's prescription...And if there is no medical use for it, not even that........

Great idea...everyone should have the right to choose their own lifestyle, BUT they also should have the right to pay for it, ,and not make society pay for it....Medical and Doctor bills, Bills for going bankrupt because of drug use, Court appointed attorney bills, jail bills, and all the other things inbetween.... As a taxpayer (unfortunately in the upper bracket), my "rights" are being violated by individuals choosing a lifestyle devoid of thinking about anyone else but themselves, not being responsible for their actions, and THEN making the taxpayers pick up the tab for their total lack of responsibility!!! When does personal RESPONSIBILITY come into EACH individual's vocabulary? KLP and let individuals decide their own lifestyle unless it directly violates another's rights.
