Another warning sign I see is constantly attempting to criticize other peoples lifestyle choices. Usually that is a sign you aren't happy with your own lifestyle choice. Sorry to hear it. Change it up bro.
You need to seek treatment instead of projecting your misery on others. A life of clarity and satisfaction can be found if you give up your enslavement to drugs.
Did you know that actions such as running or even checking a new email create endogenous opioids in your body which are part of making these things addictive?
These ramblings have already been discussed in this thread. Drugs short circuit and deform the normal reward pathways of the brain and that is part of what makes them so dangerous, yes.
They also make you technically breaking the law for posession,
No, they do not. It is amazing how damaged the mind of drug abusers can become that I have to respond to idiocy such as this. Even in the event you ingest the drugs via smoking, their presence in your bloodstream does not constitute possession under the law.
And lets not criticize George Washington for separating his cannabis plants to increase potency, or Thomas Jefferson for saying that cannabis would make this nation great.
The founding fathers made many mistakes, including abuse of alcohol and drugs and other crimes such as slavery.
If I want to put people in jail for what they do in their own home, give police the right to steal and destroy lives if they feel like it, and give billions of dollars to criminals corrupting the government at all levels, I'm a dangerous psychopath. Right?
I have no idea if you are a psychopath or not, but it is clear your mind has been so muddled by drugs that your reply is incoherent and does not seem to address any actual points made in this debate. You are precisely the reason why the government is required to take care of people and save them from themselves. There is no reason for us to allow drug dealers to continue to prey on you and addle your mind and poison your body. Someone has to step in and save you.
While you rant about having the right to poison yourself and damage your mind, someone just got killed by a driver high on drugs. Someone was just admitted to the hospital for a drug related accident and is increasing my medical costs. Addicts are giving up their jobs to get high all day and damaging our economy. Drug addicted parents are neglecting and hurting their children. Drug addicted children are trying to kill themselves to escape the misery drug abuse has inflicted on them.
Your freedom to commit slow suicide with drugs is not more important than the right of the rest of us to be safe from you.
About 1 in 5 drivers who were killed last year in car crashes tested positive for drugs, raising concerns about the impact of drugs on auto safety, the government reported Tuesday.
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2010/11/30/drugs-involved-drivers-killed/#ixzz25ORexqgHCannabis use is associated with complications, considered to be serious since they lead to hospitalization. Beyond the well-known and widely investigated psychiatric events, serious cerebro and cardiovascular complications have been identified. These findings contribute to improve the knowledge of cannabis-related adverse events.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21204913The loss to companies in the United States due to alcohol and drug-related abuse by employees totals $100 billion a year, according to the The National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information, while in Canada The Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission has estimated the annual cost of workers absent or tardy due to substance abuse to be approximately $400 million just in Alberta alone.
http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/work/a/aa990120.htm. A relationship between parental addiction and child abuse has been documented in a large proportion of child abuse and neglect cases.
• Three of four (71.6%) child welfare professionals cite substance abuse as the top cause for the dramatic rise in child maltreatment since 1986.12
• Most welfare professionals (79.6%) report that substance abuse causes or contributes to at least half of all cases of child maltreatment; 39.7% say it is a factor in over 75% of the cases. 13
• In a sample of parents who significantly maltreat their children, alcohol abuse is specifically associated with physical maltreatment, while cocaine exhibits a specific relationship to sexual maltreatment.14
• Children exposed prenatally to illicit drugs are 2 to 3 times more likely to be abused or neglected. 15

Prohibition has a great track record of working, right?
In some cases it works well and in some cases it has not. Singapore has done very well with strict laws and are a good model to follow. There is no reason to surrender and allow the evils of drugs to overwhelm us. We have been over this already in the thread. Please review the previous conversation.
