An item on television about Colorado, USA, selling legalised marijuana is an absolute disgrace.

What is wrong with these US people, with their drugs and religion?

Many of them will end up like zombies or die. It is happening worldwide.

All drugs other than pharmaceuticals are a curse to humanity. Life is wonderful and pleasurable when one is free from disease and drugs.

Why oh why do people want to live in a dazed state? Apparently there is not much between their ears.

Our government is far too soft in not banning all harmful drugs, as they cause much crime, domestic problems, etc.

Australia is far more vigilant against drugs and crime. I have been admitted to several hospitals back in the 1950s-1960s and most nurses were smokers.

They said that ‘it kills germs' but in fact they smoked long enough it would have probably killed them.
