Quote
Posted in response to this Louis R. (Skip) Miller of D.A.R.E. essay at the San Jose Mercury News via Cannabis News:
Of course we should make it easier for people to get high, if they want to. Land of the free. Right?
Adults are sole proprietors of their own bodies. Hence, unless they directly harm a non-consenting other, they have the absolute right to eat, drink, smoke, or inject anything they desire. Anything. No matter how harmful it is to themselves.
-Bill St. Clair

I sent a slightly modified and expanded version of this quote to the San Jose Mercury News as a letter to the editor. I'll link to it if they print it.
The original essay is here.

If they DO harm themselves
Of course, if they DO harm themselves, other adults have the right to let them die in the street.
