I have always wondered (I am kind of repeating myself after posting in social, but it is relevant to drug discussion MORE so I think) Why drugs are legal EVEN THOUGH they cause SO much amage to the human body. Compare MDMA (one example) and the CONFIRMED damage to the body. There are MANY legal drugs that we KNOW do extensive damage to the body, yet we continue to sell and prescribe them. WHY? because some would say the have more positive effects and those OUTWEIGH the negative.
OK, but why is MDMA illegal (or No plans to make legal) when -
1: we DO NOT KNOW the damage it causes to the body and not enought testing is being done to find out
2: It MAY have positive effects on humans (?) Some may disagree, but there is no evidence to say whether or not the POSITIVE outweigh the NEGATIVE, if there is or there isn't!
I find this very strange. Should we not endevour to find out if these illegal drugs have some sort of purpose in society, not just getting us off our pickles? I always think of the young man I saw with Parkinsons who, when given MDMA, would loose ALL symptoms of the disease.. regaining FULL motor skills. Unfortunately he would later revert to his former self, sometimes worse.
But would his taking MDMA to lead a normal life outweight the fact that it "MAY" cause damage to his brain? Legal drugs do that. ie: ROACCUTANE: It cures acne! great! But causes - kidney problems - liver problems - blood noses - blurred vision - sore joints - DEPRESSION.. These symptoms can be short term and permanant. Yet it is READILY available.
Now Im not sure what tests are being done, except for the ones that they constantly tell us : It kills brain cells in rats etc etc where they FORGET to mention they give the rats a dose HUNDREDS of times higher than what a human would have. also, DO I LOOK LIKE A FRIGGIN RAT?
One of the conclusions I can come to is, even though it MAY have positive effects and POSSIBLY lesser negative effects of legal drugs available, it WILL NEVER be legal because.... it makes us have fun? Could it be that a drug that makes us open our minds and out hearts is being ingnored for positive medical reasons for that alone?
Or can anyone else think of a reason/s?
