Of course not. I'm sorry I understand that some people have become addicted, but many of those people made very bad choices. Why should those of us who the drugs help pay because of those who can't handle them?

Believe me I understand, my nephew got hooked on them, he was already hooked on alcohol so he had an addictive personality. I don't have that. I have a healthy respect for these drugs.

Makes me nuts, legislating morality again.
