No. Not really
Women shouldn’t use drugs and alcohol while they are pregnant, it just shows you are immature and unfit to raise a child.
I dont know. Not from US.
They look quite unwell to me.
Again, not from US so I really don’t know.
No. I doubt it. Imagine people selling weed legally in super markets, everyone can have access to it and then get addicted to it too!
Nah. I don’t like anything that could harm my health in any way. So if drugs were to become legal, I would still avoid it.
Not proper government attention to the poor and the homeless.
There should be some kind of unqualified jobs available for such people to make a living.
I dont take any sort of drugs but if I did, I would have felt uncomfortable. Definitely.
