Actually, we put them in jail for breaking the law. You may not like the current drug laws, you might not agree with them or believe they are necessary or effective and that is certainly within your rights. Working to change such laws, should you choose to do so, would equally be within your rights but ignoring the laws concerning illegal drugs is no more justifiable than ignoring any other law you don't agree with.

Some may rationalize it by thinking that "everybody" does it but the reality is that the vast majority of people don't use illegal drugs and the self-serving rationalizations of drug users doesn't change that fact or justify breaking the law. If someone chooses to use illegal drugs, they should have "the sack" to accept the consequences if they are caught (damaged and destroyed relationships, loss of jobs, possible denial of future employment and educational opportunities, fines and jail time), not whine about it being unfair.

IMO
