Hartmann's brainstorming prompt D (revised by Peter). is:
- Who should be responsible for preventing illicit drug use by children? Parents? Teachers? Government? What should they do to prevent drug use? Should drug use by adults be controlled by governments? (If so, when? When not?) How should we decide which drugs are legal and which illegal?
Before you read your classmates' ideas, I suggest you response write in sentences in a comment for five minutes. Then quickly read what your classmates have written, looking especially for ideas you disagree with, but also replying to expand ideas you agree with.

For adults, I agree with Hartmann. It's none of the government's business to interfere in the personal decisions of mature citizens, who should be free to make foolish and unhealthy choices, otherwise McDonalds needs to be illegal as well.
ReplyDeleteI can think of no reason to ban some drugs that does not also apply to alcohol. So, should red wine, champagne, beer and whisky all be illegal? And the alcohol dealers thrown into prison like other drug dealers?
