It always amuses me how many people that play games 5+ hours a day adopt draconian attitudes about drug use. Usually the result is further perpetuating BS laws that treat potheads like their way worse than drunks. Who gives a shit if the guy working the McDonald's counter is high?
I agree with Abraham Lincoln -- who said something like those that don't drink usually do so because of lack of appetite rather than some moral character strength. I don't have the exact quote handy because it's buried somewhere in Doris Kearns Goodwin's 800 fucking page book and you're all not worth it.
It's not all that surprising though. You give a person a chance to feel superior to someone else and they will almost always take it.
I do agree that we should intervene with hardcore addict parents. But I tend to think this way about parenting in general; that we have a way to permissive attitude about people just having however many kids they want and raising them shitty.
