Sugar does not get you high and unfunctional. Just makes you a little more happy. But yes, there are sugar junkies all over the place.

Of course, some people die of diabetes, but I guess the line  is if, under the influence, you get dangerous to society in some way, shape or form.

Which is the big problem with alchool and psychiatric drugs, people do become much more dangerous under the influence of those, but they are legal.

It is a big conundrum. I guess the only way out is to keep a close eye on the effects it will cause in society.

My issue with it is that, after a lot of people get hooked, you can not ban it anymore. And, if George Soros want it, it is because it is bad: junkies do not take in arms to dethrone tyrants, I guess.

I don't know what you're referring to. I'm saying that there are too many prisoners, and that marijuana should be legalized so that they're not in jail. However, I believe that even after that the people that are in jail should not be forced to work for free or even an unfair wage, as they are still people and therefore should be treated as such.

What about video games?

"I would draw the line at near term and overall long term effects really". There's no way to quantize that. The statement means nothing.

Conversely, where do we draw the line on the other side of the spectrum?

Sugar doesn't only kill you from diabetes, it is also responsible of a lot anxiety disorders and when you stop taking sugar you feel terrible for days, your body feels tired, your head hurts, the person becomes irritable and even depresive, it totally works like a drug and is the reason of the success of so many big companies, which at the same time is the reason why is never called by its true name anywhere: drug.

Yes, I think I am a borderline sugar junkie. I avoid it at all costs, but, once a week, I got to, just have to, eat a TWIX, a Snickers or a Kit Kat bar.

Stuff like heroin, cocaine, etc.

Substances where there is a high likelihood of users hurting themselves and/or others, both mentally and physically.

If hemp was not so addictive you guys could just make tourism to hemp states once in a while to have some. But you could not bring it back home.

Idk I believe certain people should be treated like work animals. Serial killers and serial rapists -the irredeemable. They could be put into forced labor. Better than them living comfy in prison or reading a book on death row for years.

Should they go to jail for it? No. Pot isnt a serious enough offense. However, abusers should be forced to take some courses on responsiblity with drugs and other potentially hazardous things. It's important we keep people educated on matters like that 

Indeed, they could turn into a fine subjected misdemeanor in all states, that would solve the "taxes money into putting junkies in jail" argument, which is valid, cause jail is a expensive thing.
