    The quote I was using is in black and white. Do what you want as long as you are not hurting anyone else. It's a very simple philosophy.

    My point is; if you whig out and kill someone, then you should should be locked the fuck up. Ignore the causality, because it doesn't matter in my book. Just like hate crimes. A murder sentence should not be harsher because of motive, murder is murder... for whatever reason.


    Making a drug legal is not going to attract a huge new market. The people that are interested in LSD use it now despite laws, and would continue to after legalization. Erradicating the prohibition would not set the world on fire.

    no way should it

    maybe the penalty sshouldn't be what it is, I agree with that, but legalizing it no

    Okay, that's what I thought you meant. However.. I'm pretty sure the government (with good reason) doesn't think that people can make responsible decisions when their minds are blurred by a drug such as LSD. Therefore, you can't lay responsibility to the user, because they will be intoxicated.

    Consider the ultimate inhibition lowering drug; alcohol. Legal and thriving because the government makes a fortune on it, and it stupefies the masses. Do you think the lawmakers believe people will make reasonable desicions on alcohol? A dumbed down, fearful society is more maleable. Why would they want to unleash a beast like LSD into the wild?

    well, it can be obtained pretty easily...but i agree with the whole drug abusing thing. like, if it became legal there would be a whole fleet of people always trying to tell people how bad it is. but there would also be lots to tell you how good it is.but if it were legal...we'd have to pay taxes on it...so...that would suck

    Every drug must be legalized....
    Because.
    1. They are FUN
    2. It's FREEDOM
    3. 80 % of dangerous what is coming from drugs would not be anymore...

    (my spelling can be weird,,,)

    I believe in cognitive liberty.
    Utterly.
    I live in the US and am a First Amendment absolutist. "Congress shall make NO law..."
    I think that to have freedom of speech, you MUST have freedom of thought.
    (the only limitation I would make as benign dictator of the world is to require thought before speech har har)
    Though I'm on an extended break from chems, in my time I have seen a LOT of LSD from blotter to vials of silver.
    It is an experience with my brain chemistry, and while I'd not call them bad trips they certainly were not great either. Learning Experiences are not always moolight and roses.
    an outside observer would say I flipped out (all balled up, mumbling a lot, striking out at attempts to move me, I was told) and a less experienced babysitter might have taken me to a hospital.

    So, is my external experience the anecdote one bases a law upon? or internal?
    That heroic dose saved me a year at a shrink.

    what it comes down to is gov't is not a nanny, and should get back to the business of protecting civil rights.
    enforcing and creating laws to LIMIT the First Amendment is out of line.

    ...and you'd know because you've tried every drug?
    I smell bullshit on your part straight away. Not ALL drugs are fun - that's just the myth.
    I'm sure if you went through a bad shroom trip you wouldn't be saying that. Fun it definitely ain't, there's a high chance that you'll worry that conciously, you're stuck in this frame of mind for an eternity. I'd hardly call this 'freedom' either.
    As for number 3, what? If you're saying what I think you're saying then you're talking complete shit. Of course the dangers are still gonna be there. Maybe the legalities will be no longer present, but of course the dangers will be exactly the same. You shoot up over 5 mg of Heroin in one go and you'd still be as fucked as you would of been before the legalisation.

    I'm sorry but those 3 reasons were the worst I've ever read. Looked like the reasons that a drug abuser would give as opposed to someone who uses drugs to benefit them some way or other.

    ^^^ actually just about all the negative effects associated with herion are indirect effects stemming from it's black market status...

    neways, i voted no.
    Lsd shouldn't be legal.


    it should be mandatory.


    they should randomly spike the drinking water with it and everyone in town has to get around via bicycyle for that day...

    just my idea of a perfect society.

    not all drugs are fun, even weed could get not fun at times, u get overly paranoid etc, i usually have fun with drugs such as shrooms and weed, havent tried n e thing else, but these two drugs are looked upon as "beginnner"" drugs, like if u were to smoke weed like a lot of ppl do the next step a lot of ppl would say is shrooms, (u dont have to agree with on this)...

    now with weed and shrooms, two "safe" drugs (safe enough at least), the effects could b fun and amazing to many, but theres many that experiance the negative effects of both. so no 100% NO! not all drugs are FUN, one drug might b fun to you, but not to another person, plus if u were to take drugs, i wouldnt advice ABUSING it, i try to benefit from it, and maybe learn from it?!, but other than that its like a getaway, its something to do, and its fun ((((AT TIMES)))

    No, there are far too many people who are too stupid to trip responsibly. Just because acid has no undesirable physical affect on the body doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. Overuse of acid is probably the worst thing you could do mentally (see Syd Barrett). I do however think that they should start doing experiments with LSD again.

    Most of the people I know think that psychedelic drugs should be legal. LSD, Mescaline, MDMA, and cannabis should be legal. All of the reports on people comitting suicide while under the influence of LSD are not true. Except for two cases where the people comitted suicide because they were extremely depressed.

    Look at how many people aren't badly depressed but than they start drinking and end up commiting suicide. Look at how many people smoking kills in a year.
    I do not think that Crack, Cocaine, Crystal Meth, Heroin, or Ether should be legal though. I would be ecstatic if LSD was legalized. Maybe one day... I hope.
