Reply #197: Wow, I've never met another person who espoused that opinion

I've never gotten picked for a drug jury case because of it but I have had some interesting banter with prosecuting lawyers over it. They can't believe I'm serious but am just trying to get out of jury duty. But it ain't so. I think every drug should be legal and on the shelves. I think doctors should be relegated to the role of adviser instead of the holder of the keys to medications. I think pharmacists should fill that role as well. I think it's about time we stopped infantilizing people and creating godlike entities called doctors. We've lost so much understanding of our bodies and medications because we've allowed this cult of the expert to survive and thrive.

And as far as the illegal drugs, well, we in America are playing both sides so I don't think this illegal crap is helping anyone but the CIA.
