kuro5hin.org || John Gilmore’s take on mind altering drugs: “Just as adults keep immature children away from matches and hot objects, though there is no law prohibiting the possession of matches by children, parents and social feedback should be used to teach children how to handle drugs responsibly. The War on Drugs has certainly not kept children from being able to get drugs! By eliminating the black market and the threat of prison, and allowing straightforward talk from people who know the dangers first-hand, children can learn the real reasons why some drugs are best avoided, and learn the line between use and abuse of other drugs. Today’s situation teaches children that it’s best to sneak and lie about what they’re doing — both because they are afraid of prosecution, and because they see drug-using parents doing the same thing.”
