Not the whole truth, as there are known rare side effects that are significantly detrimental. In my experience it also seems harder/rarer to be a high functioning regular user. But yeah.
If I do accept that position though - I'm not sold the argument is in favour of anything but prohibition
- TaylorAlexander 8y agoI’m sure the same would be said of alcohol. For either - what good has prohibition ever done for us?
- Ntrails 8y agoTobacco and Alcohol being legal whilst we've criminalised weed/amphetamines/cocaine doesn't make much sense to me. The arbitrary lines are clearly spurious and historical. I'm broadly in favour of selling every single drug to the public without need of a prescription, let people do whatever the fuck they want and live with the consequences (but there will be societal consequences too). Mostly I just long for consistency
