I know this post is going to draw quite some disapproval, but it's just my opinion, hopefully no one gets too offended.

I am not in favour of banning/restricting drugs i.e. erimin, ecstasy, ketamine, heroin, marijuana etc. I'm not saying I promote the consumption of such drugs but I feel that the option should be left to the individual. If an individual chooses to consume such substances at his/her own peril then so be it. It's that person's own life anyway, the choice should lie with him/her. The same goes for suicide. Again, I do not promote nor condone such behaviour but I feel that choice is something we are born with, and last I heard, we own our own lives so the choice should be ours.

So back to the original question, I think there is nothing wrong with that. The choice is with the consumer. And before anyone says that the choice is not truly with the consumer because once he consumes these substances, he will be addicted and will have no choice but to continue consumption, I will say that the choice is still with the consumer because he knows that if he were to start consuming such drugs, he will be addicted.

Anyway the last part is just a pre-empt to a possible counter-argument.
