Do you support decriminalizing the consumption of all drugs?
As for me, I am tempted to vote Yes since I think that, even for the extremely dangerous drugs, we should go after the producers (by prosecuting them, obviously) while providing help and treatment--rather than jail time--to the consumers.
Yes. It's not the government's job to babysit you and tell you what you can and cannot put in your body. A suggestion based on scientific evidence is all most people need to know in order to make responsible decisions. And if people are not smart enough, why should I be forced to subsidize the policing of their stupidity? They will remove themselves from the gene pool in time. Save the jail cells for the real criminals. We have enough of them to deal with.

Frankly, I think that your mentality here is taking it too far. After all, some people do make stupid decisions and choices. However, such people should be given help and treatment rather than jailed if their only offense is putting some drugs inside of their own bodies.
Indeed, shouldn't the right to privacy extend to this?

Help them. Treat them. Just don't expect me to pay to jail and police them. I think America should be investing in the winners of society, not the losers. If people want a life of misery, they can finance it themselves, at their own expense. And if they want to improve themselves down the road, they can clean up their act, work hard, and perhaps make something of themselves. This is the land of the free, and you should have the freedom of choice. Just don't hold everyone else back to support the deadbeats, burnouts and losers.
Yes. People should be capable of making their own choices in this area. They are also responsible for any consequences that follow. Being on drugs won't excuse committing a crime. If you're late to work or show up to work strung out, the government won't protect your job. People should be able to do whatever drug they please so long as they understand that it's on them to balance their life accordingly.
