One can also be a drug user and keep it in moderation, and live a successful and crime-free life. In fact, I would argue that is the norm -- whilst you only hear about the exceptional cases in the news and in the media. Those are, after all, the ones sensational enough to make it in the news.
>>Here is something you can quote me on: Drug users don't want a relaxation on drug laws for liberalization, they want justification for their irresponsible and base habit.
I wasn't aware that "drug users" appointed you to be their spokesman. As for your generalization -- does this mean you believe that all drug users are irresponsible, unemployed junkies who live in the gutters and alleys? And that you believe all drug users do it out of habit?
I am not denying the existence of irresponsible drug use or addiction, however it would be equally foolish and fallacious to paint every single last drug user as if they fit one single homogeneous profile. You're only going to notice the visible, blatantly addicted drug users out of any given sample pool.
And if you don't want me "paraphrasing" you (and you pretending to act offended when I do), perhaps you should be clearer in your statements, all of which have been constructed on generalizations.
