Drugs like cocaine, and regular amphetamines don't even effect your motor cognitive skills. They don't make you trip or hallucinate, and because they are illegal their is a massive criminal run industry that just has people buying cocaine anyways, but instead they are funding criminal organizations when they buy cocaine, which because it is illegal and unregulated, is usually cut with tons of shit more dangerous than the drug itself.
I really don't understand why they don't legalize some of these drugs, and perhaps put a maximum amount that can be purchased per day. Let's say for the hell of it, 100mg per day. This would prevent serious abuse, it would completely destroy this massive criminal structure that profits off of the drugs, all the violence and what not, the guns, and other crap that comes from the fact that these drugs are illegal.
In small amounts, they could be easily used in beneficial ways, and the government could tax them or whatever, just like they do alcohol and tobacco, and they could actually make money that can be put towards society, better busing networks, garbage pick up all that non-sense. Rather than scumbag criminals making the money, and making society more dangerous in general.
Why is it that cocaine or amphetamines are illegal anyways? Alcohol can also quite easily cause OD, it's not hard to a litre of hard liquer, and become a completely psychopathetic, billigerant drunk, and than die from respiratory depression. Alcohol has no cap on how much of it can be purchased, and it is total poison for the body, completely messes up your motor skills and generally makes people idiots in excess. Where as drugs like speed or cocaine, that really aren't much different than caffeine (of course much stronger cns stims) and actually provide euphoria, and can be used to help people get through the day of work, and don't mess up your motor skills, and generally don't make you into a stumbling, slurred sounding idiot like the LEGAL drug alcohol does, is illegal.
Of course these drugs in excess can cause things like psychosis, but they could always limit the sale. And don't bother mentioning addiction either, if they had daily caps that were nice and low, like maybe 100mg benzoylmethylecgonine, and 30mg racemic amphetamine, they couldn't be abused to the point that they can bring on psychosis or serious addiction.
And addiction shouldn't even matter anyways, look how many addicted alcoholics there all, alcohol being a drug that the withdrawals can literally kill you, and having an alcoholic father I can tell you it's pretty sad sometimes, seeing how much of a fiend he is. If I drink his last beer on a saturday night when he is passed out, and he wakes up and realized it's gone he goes absolutely insane. Not only because he is pathetically addicted, but because of the physical withdrawals as well, something that most stimulants generally don't even have (physical withdrawals)
It just doesn't make sense that the government, and the world in general can just ban an item that everyone should have the freedom to use. We are all equal human beings, yet we there is a higher power that says no, you can't enjoy yourself with a little bit of cocaine or speed. It's pretty sad actually, because by banning the substances, it isn't stopping people from using them anyways, but rather they have to buy off the streets and put themselves in harms way, and just fund criminal organizations, for street quality products that are likely more dangerous than the actual drug itself.
