I'd like my decision to be conscious, universal and based on some concrete values. It makes it much easier.
I mean, where do you draw the line? If someone told you "here's money, would you please go buy some heroin for me?" would you do it? And if it was cigarettes? It wouldn't be the same? Why?
Remiel bases his decision on how harmful he personally thinks the substance is. That's one possibility. I'd like to clearly know what my criterion is, and where I draw the line.
