Doesn't that bother the rest of you? To be told you are too stupid to make your own decisions and that the government always knows what's best for you?

Keeping something away from someone because its potentially harmful isn't the Government saying "the peasants are to stupid" its saying "we care about our people and don't want them all F'ed up". Imagine you have a 16 year old kid who wants to get jacked. If he asked you for steroids would you get them for him? Would you bring them in the house and say the roids are in the cabinet? My guess is you wouldn't because your responsible and know even if they were taken responsibly, there's the risk of him unknowingly getting to the point of abuse. Even if your said son was 25-30 and asked the same question "dad can you get me steroids" it would be completely irresponsible of you if you got them for him.
Our Government keeping sh** like steroids, heroin, crack, etc. away from the public is them being responsible for its Country, NOT them controlling it (that's for the media to do).
Now if the Government wanted to ban Orange juice because Obama prefers milk we'd have a problem..
