Yes, I'm sure that if you are a heroin addict that you smoked some pot or did a line before you ever got to heroin. But the coke and pot isn't what put you there. That's an argument that the Bill O'Reilly's try to feed us.

I don't know...I just don't like the govt. telling me what I can and can't do to have fun. It's none of their goddamn business in my opinion.

Cocaine was perfectly legal until after World War 1. That's when the govt. decided to start legislating morality and became the "fun police" Remember prohibition?

As far as Heroin goes...I found this article real interesting. I didn't know any of that: http://opioids.com/heroin/heroinhistory.html

Point is...if an adult wants to do something that doesn't harm anyone else and that they enjoy...what the fuck is the govt. doing telling us we can't AND arresting people and really ruining their lives?

And making recreational drugs illegal sure as hell didn't stop that 0.0001 % of people who are predisposed to addiction to getting it and becoming junkies anyway. So those laws really just punish everybody else who CAN enjoy recreational drugs without any problems in their lives. Just my opinion.
One slight problem with that theory Robbie. Drugs hurt alot of people other than the user. Ask any cop and they will tell you 95% of break and enters are committed by drug addicts who need cash to score.
