Thread: Which drugs should be legalized for recreational use?

If you are going to insult me, please at least spell properly.

I spelt that wrong deliberately, because my intent wasnt to insult i was just playing around which is why i spelt it so it could be pronounced differently to give the impression of light humour.

People can have a few beers and I can smoke a bowl or two and call it a night. I can also, and have, dropped acid in public places. I didn't try to kill people, operate a motor vehicle, think that other individuals faces were melting or any nonsense that the propaganda machine would like you to believe. Try educating yourself on this topic and then come back.

I dont think im the one who needs educating. Your comparing acid to addictive drugs? Haha.

A responsible person would not increase thier drug usage to dangerous levels simply because they can. An addict will destroy thier lives most of the time either way...we call that a doom curve.

I'm talking about people who become hardcore or recreational users from being neither. You need laws keeping drugs like heroine and amphetamines illegal... Those substances are too harmful to ever legalize.

The weirdest thing about all of this is that I have met people who support full drug legalization but are against gun permits and the right to bear arms. So... a person has the right to put harmful substances into his body but not to protect himself? The main arguement against guns is the fact that kids get a hold of them and don't handle them properly or are pointing it at a friend when...

so how can you say a drug like heroin would be OK to be legalized when its result is that kids are going to be more prone to its abuse and if they have broken homes.

I'm just bringing that up... Anyway, I understand the freedom part in theory but in practice it is not so simple.

Im familiar with this one though and wow, you spelt all that right. How did you learn that?

I don't think the progession of the disease of addiction is any different from alchoholics to drug users....however, what I think you're seeing is the social structure that is in place to tell a drinker when they've had enough, as opposed to drug dealers who want to push as much product as they can anytime of the day or night. An example is the bartender who has to stop serving at 2:00am. And in the states you'll raise eyebrows if you're drinking before 5:00pm on a weekday. Some states don't allow alchohol purchases on Sunday. The same type of social structure may materialize for drug use if legalized

Okay, fair enough. Thankyou for explaining.

When did I compare acid to addictive drugs? I was using that as an illustration to show that some of these Scheduled substances are not as big of a danger as you suggested. Where's the danger in Psilocybin? DMT? Mescaline? LSD?

You also failed to address my argument involving the comparison of having a few drinks to smoking a bowl.

Was hoping you'd excercise your sense of humour so i wouldnt have to

Your lack of knowledge on the effects of drugs in evident in these posts. Alcohol doesnt get you high and is fine in regulated amounts. Class C drugs are fine in regulated amounts, ok. But cocaine? Heroin? I dont think you realize the harm it can do and how quickly one can become attached to it even after first time use.

Unsubstantiated opinion.

It intoxicates and affects the part of the brain that makes judgement calls. But hey, that's no problem, right?

Again, you are making assumptions. You can "think" that I don't understand something, but you have yet to prove it.

So that justified legalizing drugs which is much worse then alcohol? Your contradicting yourself. As i said anyway, responsible amounts are fine.

Try it for yourself, then.
