I agree that the government should just leave things up to the person.

Drugs - if the person is stupid enough that he wants to drugs, fine. Just tax the drugs like crazy and tax our income less.

Seatbelts, I disagree. the reason being is that without a seatbelt they can turn into a projectile that can be lethal to people other than the one not wearing his seatbelt.

I heard of an instance where someone in the back seat was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown forward and went over the chair of the person in front of him (who was wearing their seatbelt) and broke the neck of that person. (I'm unsure weather the person who wasn't wearing his seatlbelt lived or not).

I think some laws need to be taken with a grain of salt. I believe it is illegal to drive barefoot wear I live, but i drive barefoot nearly every single day. The reason is I generally wear flip-flops. And by flip flops I mean I have a strap over the top of my foot near my toes, and that's it - the back is unsecured. If I were to keep them on when driving, the back would catch all the time and keep the throttle/brake/clutch down and I would lose my ability to react quickly. Because of this, I always slip them off when I drive.
