There are really so many people that treat marijuana with too much seriousness.

"I never tried that stuff! I'm a good kid!"

Halfway around the world, it's quite legal, and quite normal.

It bothers me that they look at the stoner culture for an idea of what a drug is and just black label it from there.

I'm not saying try it or don't, i'm just saying, it is merely all perspective. You can't write off a substance because it is illegal. Consumables vary from culture to culture.

Hell, in rural parts of South America, cocaine is more frequently used than alcohol. It's used quite safely, too!

I thought they used Coca leaves, not the refined powder?

Have you ever heard of Quat? Or Kwat? Or however you spell it. It's a stimulant from the Middle East, and I think you have to chew the fresh leaves.

Humans have a natural drive to alter their consciousnesses. I don't feel that making/keeping drugs illegal will ever keep people who want to from using them. And if they were legal, people who didn't want to do them wouldn't. It isn't as though there are a ton of people out there who want to use, say PCP (eww - that is a drug that scares me), but aren't going to just because it's illegal. And if they were legal and regulated, they would be slightly harder for minors to get, and wouldn't contain horrible mixes -- like dangerous badly made Ecstasy.

Well, yes, the active constituent being cocaine. Meaning they're using it in small enough doses that it's no more dangerous than a cup of coffee.

Ever had chocolate covered coffee beans? I once kept popping those at work absentmindedly like chocolate covered peanuts. The result was not pretty. gonk

3nodding I've always wanted to try that, and betel nut.

Though not at the same time...that might have an effect similar to the coffee bean incident...

There was a recent major seizure of tabs around my area, and I got to explain to my mom why MDMA should be legal. Saying that "millions of dollars worth of ecstacy" was found is probably incorrect--god only knows what was in those pills, maybe no MDMA at all.
