Penn says drugs should be legal and he’s never touched them. I’ve barely touched them myself (a couple of attempts to smoke pot never really worked, I seem to be incapable of inhaling without choking) and I agree with him. As Penn says “If you aren’t free to put whatever substances you want into your own body, then you aren’t free.” The so-called “War On Drugs” costs taxpayers billions. Let’s use that money for education instead. If people commit REAL crimes while under the influence of drugs, then we should punish them for those in the same way we punish drink drivers but don’t have prohibition. It doesn’t work.

I agree with his points, but it hardly helps to cite the opinion of a guy like this one if, looking at the way he acts, he can’t be taken seriously.
