Honestly, a lot of drugs that are illegal don't do that much damage to you. People overestimate how bad a lot of it is. It's not a killer. People don't accept this because the Gov't is so big that it's controlling what you teach to kids, too, making everything about drugs taught in schools extremely biased, just because they don't get a profit out of drugs like XTC and weed and stuff like that. Special K isn't even that bad.

I think they must finish research on all narcotics before actually legalizing or illegalizing them. When scientists actually define if they are or are not dangerous for public use, then then the governement should decide if they will allow them.
Now, socially speaking, I'm indifferent if they do legalize them or not. They should just inform well the people about them. When people are informed and/or warned, they should choose if they will consume. After all, they're informed, so any problem their consume causes to them is their own responsibility.
Medically speaking, they should not be used, and if they are, only in extreme cases. We know that most narcotics can cause neurological damage, so using a "medicine" that causes damage to one's brain is just wrong.

No, you're seeing a stereotype because you have stuck in your head the Governmental idea. All the drug users I know are smart kids who are in Gifted with passing grades (minimum C, mostly B's and some A's) like me, who does not do drugs. Some even get better report cards than I do. Now, for the information... I'm for the legalization of shrooms, pot, and ecstasy. Ecstasy is actually very minimally damaging, Four. Even less so than pot, and that does very little damage to you. If you believe that something bad will happen when you do drugs, you'll see bad things happening. You'll be ignorant to the real results, which is minimal pain. Alcohol, on the other hand, can do many things to you, including taking someone who is virtually completely peaceful and making them beat up kids when they're drunk. Even if they're underage and at school. But I think the restrictions should be, like, a maximum dosage, and, like an age limit. 13 or older? Whatever. On LSD, I think it should be 18 an older, and a low dosage, and for people to be weary of the chances of a bad trip. Make it that people are fully informed of the dangers of drugs, and make certain drugs available, as long as, you know, it's not very dangerous, like crack, heroin, steroids, ect. COPY AND PASTE THIS URL INTO A NEW TAB TO SEE DEPENDANCY/ADDICTIVENESS: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...pendence%29.svgAs you can see, LSD, Ecstasy, and Cannibis, are all listed as less dangerous and addictive than Alcohol and Nicotine, two legal substances in the United States. COPY AND PASTE THIS URL INTO A NEW TAB TO SEE HARD/SOFT DRUGS: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...pendence%29.svgAs stated in the image, Psilocybin, or Magic Mushrooms, is a soft drug - because it is minimally addictive and minimally harmful. Not only that, but it is less addictive/harmful, as well as cannibis, LSD, and ecstasy, than alcohol, a legal drug in the United States. There is no basis of illegalizing these drugs, and if scientists did an experiment on alcohol, they'd see its' results are much like the drugs that they fear and think should be blocked, whilst the only reason they conclude that Ecstasy, Shrooms, Acid, and Pot should be illegalized is because the Gov't would fire them and get new studies to prove otherwise if they said it was okay to take these drugs. Plus, some studies in other countries show that these drugs are not as harmful as people feared they were.

So I say no. |
Well, a lot of that is because those types of people are attracted to drugs. There are a lot of really smart people I know that do drugs. And some people that you wouldn't expect do them, but are smart enough to cover it up. If it isn't as bad as or is similarly bad to alcohol or cigs, its a yes for me. The two I am thinking of are pot and shrooms, but thats it.
Ecstasy could kill you the first time if you aren't around responsible people or whatever. It is dangerous, so I am leaning towards no.
LSD is a flat out no. Bad trips, flashbacks, etc.

| QUOTE (FOUR @ Apr 18 2008, 09:17 PM) | Soft =/= Safe Smart kids will do hard drugs, too, what's your point? Ecstasy doesn't have longterm effects, however in short term senses it's very dangerous. LSD is also pretty dangerous in the sense that if you get a bad trip you can really hurt yourself, Then that it can trigger schizophrenia. And you can't control the doses that people take. |
You can't regulate the doses taken by people with Advil and Tylenol and stuff, but overdoses can kill THEM, too. That's a weak argument, Four. Too much is bad for you, and it may cause bad things.
That works for EVERY medicine. It's just that the Gov't concentrates a lot on those drugs because they feel like it.

I only think you should legalize drugs for medical purposes.
