In all honesty, I very well could base my support solely on my experiences. It is my belief that for the general population, while done in a responsible environment (mental conditioning for the experience, preparation, "sitters", and the such) they have little to offer in the way of harm. They can produce profound negative psychological affects, but I believe that's part of the risk the user takes. Of course in absence of a truthful drug education we leave kids with little knowledge. Harder drugs, in my opinion, have mostly unavoidable physical symptoms and lead to actions that endanger the emotional well-being of others. Of course I'm a complete hypocrite as well because I sure do love cigarettes, and I know fully well that it's the addiction talking. Cigarettes are bad, don't smoke 'em, because that's more for me!
