Should we? Absolutely
Will we? Absolutely not - we just banned trans fat in our foods. We're heading in the exact opposite direction. It is a nation of hand-holding I-know-better-than-you government control. The freedom to poison oneself seems to be restricted, no matter how impotent the poison itself actually is. I strongly disagree with my government on the direction in which the nation is heading in regards to personal freedoms which seem to be reduced by the day.
Ron Paul was brilliant on this point, it's unfortunate no one was listening. If you legalize heroin tomorrow, there will not be a mad dash for it. The same users will continue as such, but it will be available without frequenting a seedy vendor in an unsavory location. Why should the government dictate what one does to one's body? Isn't that the entire mantra of the pro choice debate?
