    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.
