All drugs should be legal. Whether there's a health risk involved or not, they should still be legal. The government has no right to tell the people what they can and can't do with their own life (so long as it doesn't negatively effect others). Simple as that.

lets start with the realistic.

shrooms and acid can severely affect your sense of being. would you trust an airline pilot to fly your plane while under the influence of shrooms thinking that the plane ate him or some shit like that? Of course it's easy to say that they could just ban pilots from doing that but the effects of those psychoactives take hours even days to wear off. Consistent use of any of those products WILL result in serious mental deterioration and that's the truth.

As for alcohol and cigarettes killing alot of people that's also true and you have a point because of the double standard.

i agree with mellow mood not all drugs should be legalized and no way is cannabis the same as all the other drugs it no way fuck with your body like the hard drugs do!!

Legalizing all drugs wouldn't be very bad, sure some people would go nuts but they do it anyway right now. And as for pilots and such, the airlines and private companies could still require tests for employment. If you make tacos for a living they might not care what you do in your spare time but if you hold the lives of hundreds of people in your hands every day then the company that employs you will be very interested in whether or not you spent the weekend trippin on dose.
Legalization and regulation, it can work.

A bunch of cops and ex-cops who think we should move toward legalization.
