Just another drug we need to make legal.
Because making drugs legal will mean that no one will abuse them

Where are you Chris.?

Alcohol is legal. People abuse it. Should we make it illegal?
Guns are legal. People abuse them. Should we make them illegal?

Penises, cars, The System, fast food, bumping years old threads. All legal. All abusable.

One thing is certain: Bring up drugs and someone will bring up alcohol.

I also brought up guns, penises, cars, The System, Fast Food and obnoxious forum behavior.




But it seems you're dismissing the double standard and/or equivalence between alcohol and the pot.

Well, alcohol is a drug & the most destructive one....

Aw hell! Just open the opium dens again and give them the pure #### to erase themselves.

I've long believed that if you legalize all drugs, up to and including PCP, heroin and meth.... there would be a brief dangerous transition period, and then as the problem naturally resolved itself, you'd also notice a lot of other problems magically disappearing.

A drug yes. But far from the most destructive one.

I believe you are dead wrong. Lets settle for both of us being entitled to our own opinions.

Well hell let's just do away with prescriptions and let us buy anything we want.
We all have internet we can all self-prescribe.
Go on the internet put in our symptoms and prescribe anything we want.?
Or just ask a friend what they are using.
Why just allow recreational drugs?

Does that sound any more stupid than allowing heroin?

Human nature.

The same people ####ing up their lives now, will be the same people doing it then.

Would legalization convince you go out and shoot-up heroin or some other substance?

Was in a meeting most of the day yesterday, sorry.

Who says no one would abuse them?

A drug yes. But far from the most destructive one.

False.

"The highest and lowest overall harm scores … are 72 for alcohol and 5 for mushrooms," Nutt and colleagues calculate. "The ICSD scores lend support to the widely accepted view that alcohol is an extremely harmful drug both to users and to society."

Alcohol was found to be the most harmful drug to society and the fourth most harmful drug to users.

The findings should come as no surprise: Alcohol has been linked to more than 60 diseases.

Our MOE results confirm previous drug rankings based on other approaches. Specifically, the results confirm that the risk of cannabis may have been overestimated in the past. At least for the endpoint of mortality, the MOE for THC/cannabis in both individual and population-based assessments would be above safety thresholds (e.g. 100 for data based on animal experiments). In contrast, the risk of alcohol may have been commonly underestimated.

Currently, the MOE results point to risk management prioritization towards alcohol and tobacco rather than illicit drugs. The high MOE values of cannabis, which are in a low-risk range, suggest a strict legal regulatory approach rather than the current prohibition approach.
