My psychonaut compadres. Have you ever wondered why we are PERSECUTED for the substances we imbibe? Have you ever searched or wondered why?

The reason we are punished is because we do not stand up and let people know the truth. That smoking the occasional point, or popping the occasional pill isn't the be all and end all of life. But I digress: here is why I believe ALL drugs should be legal. Discuss.

From my post

"Talk of cannabis legalization has become commonplace. Millions across the United States and the world are in support of full and complete legalization of cannabis and everything that comes along with it. Namely taxation, harm reduction and the freeing up of billions of dollars worth of police and prison infrastructure. All of these are excellent points, but they beg a question- Why would cannabis be the only now-illicit drug that would benefit society by legalization.

Argument 1: Cannabis is less harmful than other drugs.

This argument is absolutely correct. Unfortunately our society does not judge substances based on harm. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin(1) and kills far more. Alcohol is more dangerous than cannabis and less dangerous than nicotine. Trying to find a rhyme or reason for why certain substances are prohibited/regulated more than others is a fools game and reveals little about why our current laws are the way they are. Our society should not focus on how dangerous certain drugs are physically- but how much danger comes from letting those drugs be manufactured and distributed in an entirely black market."
 
sounds like bloggy dope head logic!

Anyway, nice article but good luck convincing someone of changing their opinions with a two pager on the interwebz. If you want legal change, you must know you've got to start realistically. We are not going to be legalizing or regulating any drug in the near future, perhaps marijuana but that is around the tip of the mountain. It reads well but it also reads generic. Just my two cents.
