Why all this talk about its harmful effects on the user? Why should the government be allowed to tell me what I can and cannot put into my own body? Two-thirds of the American population is obese. Just last month obesity (and its related problems) was claimed to be the greatest killer of Americans. Which is kind of silly, because heart disease has been number one for quite a while. What's a primary cause of heart disease? You got it: overeating. So, since the number one killer is overeating, why shouldn't the government be allowed to tell me what I can and cannot eat?

Prove to me that drug use hurts non-users and you'll convert me.
