Let ’em be!

A big reggae festival in Sweden has been hit by police again, snatching up around 240 people on drug charges. The media reports this and interesting enough they also report no disturbances and no violence to speak of. So around 10 000 people gather at a venue, presumably doing drugs (seemingly only cannabis) and there is no violence. Compare that to any town of equivalent size a Saturday night with people drinking alcohol…

In any case, people doing drugs should, of course, be left alone. Do we own our own bodies? Can I decide what I smoke, drink or eat? Am I the sole king over me? The answers to these questions are NO – the government owns us. That’s the conclusion we can draw and instead of having the police chasing real criminals like murderers, rapists, bankers and robbers, law enforcement is wasting time with people exercising their human rights. These people are, apparently, good citizens and if the crime rate is this low, let them smoke, dance, eat or inject whatever, their life, their bodies and their choice. The government should stay out of our lives because as long as they keep interfering we will keep having recessions and people will keep being locked up for doing nothing wrong.

And just so you all know, I detest cannabis which I never understood the fun thing with. I’m a Swedish male and consequently I drink vodka, preferably home-brewed and that’s another thing that should be legalized.
