There are indeed some things that seem best to have a strong commitment not to indulge in.
I'm not saying you guys can't enjoy your drugs. If you choose to put your family and yourself through hell or even if you want to kill yourself, go for it. For me though, I'm quite content with my clean living.
Enjoy.

Is one of the things you have 'a strong commitment not to indulge in' reading?
You are so vehement in your loathing of drug use and users, and yet when a thread is started which highlights a country's effective methodology of combating the problem, you cannot even deign to read the article and see the remarkable benefits that the country has experienced.
By removing the criminal aspect of use, and treating the user rather than incarcerating the user (generally speaking treatment is cheaper than incarceration as well, so that should appeal to your fiscal conservative nature) Portugal has helped reduce the number of addicts in their country.
How can you possibly spin that into a bad thing?
Is not the goal, (and your preferred reality) that there would be no drug addicts, or at least fewer??
I am completely baffled by your take on this subject.
All I can figure is that you would rather punish people than help them, which does not seem to be a very Christian way of living.... and that is also contrary to your presented persona....
