Just Decriminalize

      His ears couldn't hear
      His thoughts all a-shmear
      His eyes didn't see
      Took Ecstasy

      Self-control didn’t work
      His whole body jerked
      He slowly lost hope
      Addicted to dope

      Let’s make it all legal
      Injections by needle
      Just DECRIMINALIZE
      A solution so wise

Yep, seen many destroy their lives with drug use. Even overly prescribed, poorly administered and monitored psychotropic drugs, to treat illness, can be a great hazard. The human mind is such a precious thing -- endless exploration, leading to multiple dimensions of fantastic, living realities...and people are too lazy to go through the process of learning.
