Should all drugs be legalized?!

Exactly.

Mushrooms are amazing. I don't use them all the time, infact, hardly ever. I knew the minute I first used them that it was something to moderate.

I use them very rarely because my thought after using them was "That's where my mind is capable of going. Now I know I have access to that part, spend time trying to get there without the drugs."

I see what you're getting at, that's why you shouldn't be pissed off. I was happy, if anything. I had found out that my brain was capable of stuff, so I thought "If I can get there with the drug, I can get there without it." You can, just takes a long time. That's why I believe they're essential, because they encourage you to live and think in ways that will boost the will to reach that potential. Instead of not even trying.

As a left-leaning Libertarian, I have to say yes. Drugs should be legalized. It is obvious that America's "War on Drugs" has accomplished nothing. Why not legalize it, tax it, regulate it, and stimulate the economy? Make DUI's have mandatory sentences because that'll keep the idiots who don't know better off the streets. At the same time, police forces need more funding to build more jails, but that's always been true. Anyway, nobody can keep drugs off the streets. At least make it as safe as possible.

Let's keep this going...

to legalize drugs would be the down fall of this country.... i don't want a pothead as president..... although we probably already had several....

No, it wouldn't. All it would mean is there would be less people in jail for doing nothing wrong, as well as an economy boost.

I'd rather have a pot head as the president, than a coke head.

Drugs were legal in the United States before 1914..

Really? Wasn't that about the time the depression started? 😉

Yeah the depression was somewhere around that time too.

They outlawed alcohol and all narcotic drugs but then years later they decided they to let people drink again but keep the drugs illegal.

I think Capt_Fantastic made a joke about illegalazation of drugs and then the depression followed right after the drugs were made illegal.

Anyway, coca-cola originaly had cocain in it - hence the name ''coca-cola'' as well as numerious other products.

You are correct again.

Ah.. my bad. Should've known from the smiley.

pssst...the depression didn't start until the late 1920's

I knew the stock crashed in 1929 but I didn't know if that was the beginning of the depression or not.

Here are a couple of links from a quick google search:

Once again, Canada has outdone America.

Legalise all drugs!
People take them, whether they’re illegal or not – don’t they?

Q: Would you start junking, just because heroine was legal?

I thought so.

I would never do heroin. But those who do deserve to get it cheaply and at no risk, other than overdose. Let's open up a whole bunch of clinics where they can get a certain amount every day and they don't walk the streets. It's genius.

of course whyu can we legally kill are lungs with cigareetes but not anything else ...if you made it legal for one it wounldnt be as desirable and to our econamy would be booming if you could buy weed in a store thats alot of mnoey the united states could be making..im not saying all drugs are good but if there legal you dont have to worry about drugdealers....all our tax money goes to hpusing people in jail who got busted for weed y....?????jusyt legallize pot already .....honestly no one has bin able to find any deaths directly related to it but ppl die everyyear from stogies.....but just remember whos running the country...drug addicts ....and if bush can do drugs and become a president y cant i
