Question: Is this quote true for you!? It must be, take a look:!?
"A drug is neither moral nor immoral -- it's a chemical compound!. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole!."

Trivia: Who was the artist that also said it!?!?

As with everything in this world we must decided whether a thing is useful or not useful & weigh the risks against the positive effects, if there are any!. So many of the man made recreational drugs had beginnings as tools to help in some way & along the way became abused by man to become ferocious appetites of their own!. You are correct a thing in itself is neither good or bad, but we have great capacity to hurt ourselves & others with misuse & poor judgment!.

"taking drugs is immoral"
Really!? have you never taken Tylenol!? Benadril!? In fact most people take drugs but for medicinal purposes!. I agree with the statement made!. A drug itself cannot be moral or immoral because morality derives from two things: awareness and choice!. A drug is not sentient, it has no concept or right and right nor can it choose between them!. The problem comes when people abuse drugs!. Yes, maybe someone will take a drug and that will make them into someone who will use a gun to kill, but that is because of their abuse and they are the one with a moral choice, not a chemical compound!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What you think is moral or immoral is all based on the society you're apart of and what you believe!. Some cultures use drugs as a right of passage into adult hood!. Does that make them immoral!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sorry but drugs are bad!. Owning a gun won't make you shoot someone, but taking drugs can change you into the type of person who would!. Therefore taking drugs is immoral!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes true!. It is misuse of a drug for other purposes that it makes immoral!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
