I don't even care what it was about: people should, in any case, own their own bodies.

Most countries are past criminalising suicide, and self-harm is acceptable (as long as you are considered mentally able). Why is there a difference in risking one's health in every single way but by using psychoactive substances?

Especially considering that clearly the war on drugs was never limited to, or expanded to all substances capable of generating physical dependence.

Whilst I am very liberal (classical sense) on many issues, including guns, you can't compare drugs with guns.

Much more meaningful to compare hand guns with explosives and other weapons, and drugs with alcohol and generally self-harm.

I mostly agree.

However, C++ really isn't that hard to learn. Harder to learn than some alternatives, perhaps, but only like driving a stick shift is harder than an AT, but neither really qualifies as simply hard.
