As adults, we should all be free to put into our bodies what we see fit. The whole war on drugs thing is a political beat up, policing what is, essentially, a victimless crime. It is creating criminals for political purposes to make the government of the day look as though it is doing something. In fact, the war on drugs is not dissimilar to the war on terrorism, it is creating the problem; by prohibition, you allow the criminal element to flourish, you allow the prices to be high and you allow huge amounts of money to be made.
To say that people who take drugs are all drug addicts, is akin to saying that all people who drink alcohol are alcoholics. If you took all the money out of policing - and allowed the police to concentrate on real criminals - and put that money into health, for the percentage of people who do have a problem with drugs, we would all be far better off.
I say decriminalise drugs.
I've heard it said that marijuana is Australia's biggest industry and the world's second biggest, behind the car industry.

This is so true!
Government loves to make problems so they can solve them for us.
This world is so full of hypocritical bullshit, it's hard to believe anybody takes it seriously.
The only way is to be an outlaw ;-(
An outlaw... with a six-shooter, and a horse and a handsome side-kick named Pedro... I like it.
