The Harm Principle
I have to read Mill's 'On Liberty' for my philosophy class right now so i thought i'd mention it here and see what responces i got. Some good one, yeah, what constitutes harm? I don't believe one consuming cannabis in any way harms another person, allow that no one else is present in their presence, Therefore, i believe it a justifiable reason why cannabis should be legal.
But this 'On Libery' is pretty crazy and all new to me... I have to write some essay and critically analyze whether i agree that democracy is a 'tyranny of the majority' There's so much to think about and i've only just started. Man, i love philosophy, there's probably so many fascinating texts and essays out there just waiting to be experianced.
