In response to you two, it is simply for the freedom. I praise freedom, and if you legalize LSD, for example, or ecstasy, you have to legalize everything. It's all or nothing. And when I say nothing, I also mean alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and (maybe) chocolate. You're right that cocaine, morphine and heroin are a bit controversial, and I'm starting to have second thoughts about them, but I stand by my point. What about you? Do you think at least pot should be legalized?
I'm not heavily against pot, but I don't really support it either. Like anything, as long as it's used in moderation it's fine. Same goes for alcohol, smoking, caffeine, and even chocolate. They can be stress relievers and actually make you feel better in certain circumstances, especially in medicinal use, and that's understandable. I don't agree with it, but it's understandable. Addiction is the dangerous thing to avoid.
The beef I have with such harder drugs as LSD, cocaine, mushrooms et-cetera, is that #1, they're MUCH worse for you, and #2, they serve no stress-relieving purpose and actually make you feel worse afterward. The only reason anyone would take harder drugs is because they've tried it once, and there's something in it that makes them want more. The whole purpose of hard drugs is to make black-market money. If it were legal and sold in stores, it would basically be selling deadly catnip for people. What's the point?
At least tobacco/pot can calm you down if you're stressed, caffeine can give you conscious energy when needed (as opposed to hallucinating with crack), and alcohol, if used in moderation, is just a nice every day drink. Hard drugs completely separate you from reality, which like I've said, is the most pointless thing in the universe. You can easily find a person that acts normal that smokes tobacco or pot or drinks, but you'll never find a seemingly normal-behaved person that's addicted to hard drugs. There's a spectrum of drugs out there, but some cross the line and just become dangerous to both the user and the people around them.
