Because Sergeant Stadanko said "Only dopes use dope". Seriously, I've never been interested in using drugs at all. I believe many drugs should be legalized and controlled. (NO, you wouldn't be able to drive while high...)
Who is advocating driving while high or driving under any type of drug or alcohol induced influence? No one that I know. I don't see how that is logical to jump from doing drugs or alcohol to driving; just because some idiots do it, doesn't mean the rest of us will. I'll imbibe vodka until I see double, but I won't have the urge to suddenly get in a car and start swerving on the highway.

Have you ever sped once in your life?? I mean going like 56 in a 55 lane? That's consciously breaking the law.
People break the law whether they consciously or unconsciously do it. Just had to throw that out there.
Why? Because I don't want to lose control of my cognitive senses, be poisoned, turn retarded, or die. I have absolutely no desire to lose control or awareness of my faculties. When one buys drugs off the street, you have NO idea what you're really getting. I would bet almost every street purchase of drugs has a substantial amount of "something else" included. Talcum powder, baking soda, tea leaves, oregano, whatever. If I truly wanted to use drugs, I'd just make my own.
On the other hand, I frequently drink alcohol. Not because it's "legal", but because it's REGULATED. I can go purchase a bottle of wine and not worry about dropping dead due to some toxic added ingredient someone dumped in to boost quantity and profit. I also brew my own beer a few times a year.
I am now and always will be a proponent for drug legalization and regulation. Humans have used mood-altering substances for thousands of years - what was once a cultural tradition has now blown into a disastrous criminal mess. Clearly the "war on drugs" is a losing battle, as we are now seeing the horrors of homegrown meth labs in the last decade or so. Not to mention the subtle war currently occuring along the US/Mexico border, especially in Juarez.
The reason I do not do drugs is simply because I ASSUME I'd like the feeling of being high...With the general anti-drug mindset of America, where I plan on spending the rest of my life and doing drugs closes the door on many opportunities...
Is life so bad one needs to escape their own mind to try and solve their problems.....only to wake up the next day with a new problem and the same old one.
