I do lmao
Then thats fine
I can understand why
I just dont agree
Laws like any political systems has backdoors
abolish cocaine? guess what Big Tobacco groups are currently growing Opioid field in Afghanistan and selling it back here in the US to black markets that poverties like abusing in minority groups
I also get it being against that, but I can't help but point the hypocrisy of claiming the drug war doesn't work while financing the people the government are trying to fight
Crimes are committed with money from weed sales, like it or not
friend of mine started growing shrooms off a cow pasture and using occasionally to treat his depression
Friend of his found out and a couple others, he got into selling and thats that
From personal experience, from the research Ive seen, said compound can be helpful to people and Ive seen people benefit from it
I do not agree with the government outright banning a potential medication and restricting research
I wont delve into my history much here anymore, but I will say when I was working in a lab getting our hands on something basic like THC was a pain in the ass and required DEA and FDA authorization
I just want to see a more open government to these sorts of things
a means to properly research them
Make safer drugs, safer treatments for people, stop targeting users
That's an alrighty point of view and everything, but the moment you choose to buy illegal drugs you completely ignore the consequences of what happens next
True, not gonna deny it
But I fall on the side of Jefferson
I see such laws currently as unconstitutional
The legality of the law doesn't change the outcome of your behavior
And in regards to marijuana, my state voted legalization so my holding pot and using doesnt change anything
Feds cant touch me on that
Just like buying legal drugs from illegal sources
As long as you're buying legal from legal sources, I'm cool with it
People have the right to do dumb, legal shit
if I had a nickel for every person ive known over the last 30 years dipping into pharmaceutical illegal trade I'd have a solid investment into my 401k
What they don't have the right to do though, is thinking their moral superiority regarding legalization allows them to disregard the consequences of buying illegal drugs
the current system doesnt work, the evidence doesnt support it, I just want to see it revised and more in line with proper lines of research, proper lines of law enforcement
Pretty sure evidence doesn't support your case either
As I said, do some research about the state of things in Netherlands
If we look back on history, like the evidence towards LSD research we see that for the few people who had psychological breakdowns, the majority did not
MKUltra failed
thats the kind of backdoor im talking about, legalize weed and there will be companies or group that make the potency stronger and more harmful than how it was before. Like vaccines, a cure for a disease is great but evil groups can jack it and put toxic metals in it thus making the population controllable and more dependent on the legality of things
I would say at that point we need a proper system to support true research, with funding put into means of testing outside of those influences
My issue with drugs are mostly moral, but we simply can't ignore the fact that even recreational drugs have unwanted consequences to other people
Tobacco tried this for decades and lost over time
DUI, passive smokers, all of that shit
Weed is just one of them
I mean I'd argue psilocybin and LSD in my life have made me more understanding and empathetic to people
I use pot for chronic pain from damaged nerves and torn muscles and that helps with less consequences than opioids
I drink to relax every few days to every few weeks and my liver comes back normal
My history in chemistry and biology gives me this perspective, I wont deny it, but I think just flat out ignoring the benefits of anything is poor choice
Yeah, like canabidiol, it's a good composite extracted from the sativa, but weed also has THC, which is mostly harmful
what would be your take on porn?
The problem is that people either want it everything legal or everything illegal
THC is not that harmful tbh, it doesnt cause permanent damage to most people
and I think thats the key bit the FDA often ignores (most people)
I never thought much of porn
Actually it does
I wouldnt say everything legal
I would more go to the side of decriminalized use
If someone sells a can of beer to someone underage they're a piece of shit ignoring the evidence for harm to developing brains
