      I am not disagreeing about the drugs. My point was their legality. If I am sworn to uphold a set a laws and I do not, then I am a hypocrite. If I swear to abide by a code of ethics and I do not, then I am a hypocrite.

      I believe that drugs should be legal and health care should be free.

      I also believe that Matt Gaetz is a rapist piece of shit.

        Thank you. I understand your meaning.

        I don’t hold the law sacrosanct when it’s observably stupid and oppressive.
