Fat is not good for the heart. I would not be for raising taxes on fatty foods and saying that people who have heart attacks deserve that as well as greater fees for their food, and anyone that eats fatty foods must be a person with a heart condition anyway.
It seems to me to be kicking people when they are down, rather than trying to help them get out of their cycle of addiction, or at least cope with it so they can lead a "normal" life.
If the government got in on legalizing drugs, I would most certainly stop at Marijuana. Sell it at a decent price and use the funds to build holistic wellness/fitness centers where people can learn to relax in more healthy ways. Being hooked on Chronix does not work for everyone!
To be Blunt about it, cocaine and meth are Satans drugs and should never be tolerated or legalized. Pot is no bigger deal than the government makes it out to be. If it were legal, we would not become a nation of homies chillin on the porch avoiding Debo, but we might actually mellow out as a stressed out people.
From a spiritual perspective, however, bonging out does not send you to Hell, but it most certainly does not bring you any closer to Heaven, either! I used to do it, and it was basically nothing more than a pain killer. There is a psychological addiction, and sometimes I realized that I had a problem when I need to get high just so I could relax. Now that I no longer do it, I don't miss it...
but it took my spiritual epiphany to realize that I did not need it.
About the War on Drugs: If they can't keep drugs out of prisons, what makes anyone think that they will ever keep them out of the country?
