You do not have a right to ingest substances of unknown chemical origin and expect us to pay for your treatment of something goes wrong or if you become addicted. If you want "freedom" move to a country like Somalia where the government can barely function and there is anarchy. Nobody will give a shit what you choose to snort, ingest or shove up your ass. And if the trip is not quite what you expected, you pay the price, not anyone else. That sounds a lot more just to me.

Alcohol and tobacco are legitimate billion dollar industries that are highly regulated and employ people. Silk Road is a silly little website that still depends on illegally distributing drugs through conventional means. I'm so glad it was shut down and the owner will be in prison for a very very long time. Next up dirtbag Kim Dotcom.
