Just wanted to ask the peeps around here if You could


Would you Make MDMA Legal or Illegal?

And Why?



Thanks for the feeds


Namaste
 
Illegal for the public, legal for doctors to use under the right settings with patients who could use MDMA to an advantage (i.e the women who got raped and used MDMA to confront her issues and speak with her family).
 
I'd completely legalize it for personal and medical use once a proper harm reduction and education program was instituted in schools across the nation, which would have to replace the current D.A.R.E program.

EDIT: I forgot all about an age limit until drug wench brought it up. It'd be set at 18.

id make it legal, but put an age limit on it
i dont think schoolkids should do it (even if i did....) but once ur an adult, ur life, ur body - wen used in moderation it seems fairly harmless, certainly no worse than alcohol
and it would stop criminals selling it on the black market to a certain extent, and there wouldnt be the same worry about other chemicals turning up in the pills
legalisation is harm reduction :)
 
not only would i make it legal, i would make it mandatory for U.S. citizens and force eutopia upon society. then i would proclaim myself the new self installed president and proceed to phase 2, LSD.
 
I would legalize it to try and eliminate the whole "dirty pill" situation. Clean rolls for everyone ;) . And like someone already stated, organize a program that educates people on how to take care of themselves on certain drugs

Legal. For regulation and purity. Nobody can tell me what I can make or put in my own body.

And no one can say it better then that.
 
Yeah, I've gotta go with bagera as well. In any society that has the balls to call itself free, any rational, adult human being should have every right in the world to put whatever he or she damn well pleases into his or her own body. That freedom is one of the most basic. If we do not have the freedom to use our own bodies, the only things which are truly ours at all, as we see fit, then we're not free. And of course, just as with alcohol and cigarettes, an age limit, if only because children's bodies and brains are not only still forming, but they aren't likely to really understand the gravity of the decision. Some adults won't either, of course, but 18 sounds about right. Legally an adult in most places, legally able to make your own goddamn decisions.
 
i'd have to go with illegal because, although there are alot of people who use drugs 'wisely' (i won't launch into discussion about exactly how one can use drugs wisely, but you know what i'm saying), there will always be just as many if not more people who use drugs just as an excuse to get 'so fucked up'.

i think that the current lack of sufficient education concerning drugs would ensure a sharp rise in drug related illnesses, accidents and deaths, should certain psychoactives be made legal (therefor removing any remainding taboo).

on the other hand, bagera tomorrow makes a very good point. legalising ecstacy could rid us of the hassles of adulterated pills, etc.

overall i think i would rather it just stay illegal, and those who seek education shall find, and those who seek enlightenment shall find, regardless of any rules and regulations. freedom comes from within.

The problem with that is, it's not so easy to say "freedom comes from within" when you're facing actual jailtime if you get caught. There's absolutely no reason that someone should have to waste years of their life in jail simply because they got involved with MDMA.
 
this is a damn tough question. both sides, IMO, have good points. it would be good to keep it illegal to keep away the ignorants who would abuse it (even though that already happens). but also, i think it would be beneficial if it were made legal. that way, it can be regulated, i.e. no 'crap' pills, all pure. plus, it can be used in a therapeutic way, such as dilated pupils suggested. also, age limit and other related restrictions would be very important. all in all, in a country where freedom is supposed to be numero uno, we should be free to do with our bodys what we wish, as long is it isnt harming anyone else.

p.s. sorry this is long and drawn out, and if doesnt make sense. im tired and a bit tipsy 8( ;)
 
I would make it a semi-controlled substance. Procuring some would require a doctor's prescription, however the doctor's role would only be to make sure the person is physically and mentally suitable for taking it. They would have to verify age (16+), allergy concerns, dosage by body weight and type, that the subject wants to try it for the right reasons (mind-expansion, increased empathy, etc., and not 'cos their friends did it) and that the subject understands the effects- both negative and positive- and how to take care of themselves under the influence. If all these tests are passed (retested every six months), the subject is prescribed one dose a month.

Obviously there would still be an underground market for MDMA (just like perks or T3s), for the people who do it more than once a month, however the market would be flooded with clean pills, lowering the risk factor. Buying or selling non-prescribed pills would still be illegal. Also, everyone who has ever been prescribed MDMA would have their stats listed in a database, including their dosage by body weight and type, and if caught with more than that on them, could be charged with Intent to Traffic.
 
i would make it legal for medical use at first. then, depending on how things go, eventually legalize for personal use by adults 21+. i feel 18 is too young as most people are still growing and just out of high school and therefore the maturity level isn't where it needs to be to use MDMA responsibly. granted, there are some adults that abuse MDMA but for the most part, i think they can handle it.
 
^I originally considered 21 as the minimum age in the U.S., but then I realized that you can join the army when you're 18. If this country thinks one is mature enough to make a conscious decision to risk his/her life for their country, I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to make conscious decisions about what to put into their bodies.
 
I think it should be at least decriminalised but that its sale should be regulated so that teenagers aren't buying it and taking it recklessly.

that's the same argument for lowering the drinking age but i just dont see it. i believe the only reason the age for entering into the military at age 18 is because not everyone wants to go to college just out of high school. people need other options and since our country is so fond of war and defense, they made a viable option available. it pays well, provides benefits and you can even go to school while serving which is great for those who want to seek higher education yet can't afford it.

i, personally, still don't think that 18 is an age where the majority is mature. i do however, respect your argument :)
 
Legalize it.

I think EVERYONE should watch the documentary "Ecstasy Rising" hosted by the late Peter Jennings, it's definitely thought provoking.

I think the only people that "self help" laws benefit are crimminals. Besides, the fact that any drug is illegal definitely does not prevent anyone from obtaining it and using it. The government is too concerned about the harmful effects of a particular drug in it's pure form, that they would rather risk the lives of people buying drugs that are cut to shit.

I would like to think that since I am a fucntioning, responsible, and contributing adult that I have the right to make my own decisions about what I put in my own body. But I guess not...:p

I have to be honest with you, I knew plenty of people growing up that were introduced to MDMA at 16/17 years old and respected the drug very much so. I started using MDMA when I was 16 and I never abused it, I had my times where I used it a couple times in a month, but I never took more then 2 pills, I always knew what I was taking, and I knew the risks and the responsibilities I had to keep up on while under the influence. It's unfair to judge everyone by age, when maturity comes at different times for everyone. There are plenty of people over the age of 21 who abuse drugs, which you stated to some extent.
