I can't honestly say, I am not in that situation. I can honestly say that
I believe that if the law was broken I see nothing wrong with being punished
for it. The reason being is that I don't understand this need for people
to "have their rights", and continually fight the law we already have.
Don't get me wrong, I love the freedom that which I do have. It just seems
like the laws we now create are based on individual freedoms that apply to
each person on an individual level. That is the beauty of being able to
vote. My point being, our country is so much better off than others (not
perfect, just better off) that hardly anyone seems to take the time to
realize that. We always have to have what we don't have instead of being
thankful for what freedom we do have.
Back on the topic to this line of questioning, if I got busted, i got
busted, what can I do? The law specifically states it is illegal. Now,
if our country were to decide it was legal, then so be it. I fear that
considering most people will start demanding their rights to heroine, cause
"really, heroine isn't so bad". Where does it end?
Anyway, I am not judgemental when it comes to people who use drugs. Like I
said before, if that is how someone wishes to spend their life, so be it.
I just don't want to see my friends dying from it, for that matter of fact,
consumed by it that that is all they live for. Life to me is so much more
beautiful than to waste it on drugs.
