Btw, whats stamped on the pills in that pic? Is that a kangaroo?
EarthBounded;11731179 said:Pretty much we need to educate the entire public, its the misconceptions and the fact people don't know what they are taking, its not prohibition its not the drugs themselves it is the false information that has been floating around for the last few decades, then they turn it on user's as addicts or crazy when they will not provide correct information in the first place.

I dont think people are well informed about alcohol at all, most people dont think it is a drug, or that its poisonous, or that it is a huge carcinogen. People only know being in an altered conscience is fun, and that hangovers are bad. MDMA doesnt make me any more/less thirsty than I should be, I dont know anyone who does get any more/less thirsty on it, piperazine pills on the other hand make me and everyone I know incredibly thirsty, and I can imagine thats where most of the deaths from drinking too much water come from. Even so, I imagine the risk of PMA in your pills is greater than drinking too much water.Elven Warriorr;11731777 said:Here's why drug legalization is a very bad idea. Alcohol is a legal drug, and yet despite all of the warning labels and common knowledge on it's dangers, there are still deaths from alcohol overdoses, people getting drunk and doing dangerous stuff while under the influence, etc. Making drugs legal increases usage, which will lead to an increase in problems caused by drug usage. Ecstasy being legal means that it would be regulated, and it wouldn't be laced with other drugs.
However, legalizing ecstasy also means that more people would use it, and there would be more deaths from people drinking too much water. Educating people isn't doing to stop people from drinking too much water. People are educated on alcohol, which is a legal drug, and look at all of the problems that alcohol causes.
