| Message | The only "crime" these drugs cause results from the laws that some nations enact to control and prohibit them. If using the drugs is not against the law, no law is broken. Prohibition does nothing to remove the use of drugs from the society, it simply moves it underground where it becomes unregulated and untaxed -- and more associated with violence all the while. |
