Why are these drugs illegal?

Cannabis

Psilocybin mushrooms

Lysergic acid diethylamide

I dont get it why are these illegal and not Alcohol or Cigeeretes both kill more people in a year then the others do in a lifetime and weed and shrooms are natural

well for LSD and shrooms its because those kind of drugs can breed questioning of the government

Yeah but they don't have the power to ban books yet.

Oh and the feds can check your library records, so if they saw Guerilla warfare or steal this book or something they might know about it.

you know i've always said someone should rid the world of Cigeeretes.zombieswhatever

You'd think that would be a good idea, but no government in the world is going to outlaw them as their economy depends on the tobacco companies.

what affect does cannabis have on you? i cant remember

i thought it makes you laugh a lot of something. i might be confusing it with something else

Well Marijuana severely disables your motor skills.
Alcohol does too, but Marijuana does more so.

the reason cigs and alcohol kill more people is because they are legal while the drugs you listed are not. therefore, more people smoke and drink than do those drugs.amob

you can't OD on any of those listed though, and longterm health effects, there are none.

Not true. Obviously you have either never smoked weed or never been drunk. Also it depends on how much you have taken.

Drinking makes you crazy, weed is much better at the time, I don't know what the long term effects may be though.

I kind of disagree. People are way more likely to die from alcohol anyway because of how much it impairs you and because it takes so long to get a strong effect that you just keep going anyway.

There is a big difference between use and abuse...

So is alcohol and tobacco. Tobacco moreso.

Yes there is and I would argue its far easier to abuse alcohol than cannabis. I'm sure most people who drink have had a night where they have drank too much. You can't really smoke too much weed, you hit a certain point and thats where you stay.

If it turns into everyday use that is when it is abuse, but you can get that with alcohol too. Certainly you do with tobacco.

The after-effects of it. My friend's really stupid now since he smoked $360 worth of weed.solidscryer

Chances are you're friend was really stupid anyway. Either that or I was a genius at 13.

Marijuana is good for supressing my anger, that way I don't snap on my lady.

Cigs I've never been fond of since there's some ingredient in them that no matter what brand, I always end up feeling super dizzy and nauseous. Alcohol, I got to drunk off of hard liquor one timethat anytime I smellor taste any sort of hard liquor, I get watery cheeks and that taste like I'm about to puke. All I stick to is bud on the weekends.

Uh....yeah but the use of alcohol in and of itself doesn't kill you if you're responsible...and there are actually some health benefits. Abuse is totally different, of course.

But not everyone who drinks is doing so to get drunk...and many have only a drink or two....not abuse. On the other hand, there are people that exist that smoke every day.

And to be honest, using the argument against alcohol does little to create an atmosphere ofacceptance toward legalizinganother potential problem.

Because it's the simplest way to contain the people who do not "play nice" under the influence.

They tried outlawing alcohol in the US once, that didn't turn out well though.

An ounce of budcould not have had made your friendany more stupid thanwhat he already was. He would've either fallen asleep or just given up smoking after a bit. I can see people spending up to that much for some "Yayo" and go on binges, but marijuana?, please.......

I agree with you, there is nothing wrong with responsible drinking. But I don't think there is anything wrong with responsible drug taking either.

You use the argument that there are people who smoke weed everyday but there are also people who get drunk everyday. Some people who do nothing but get drunk. Some people go out every friday and saturday and get so drunk they wake up not remembering what happend the night before.

This is so common there is even a term for it; binge drinking.

Something like 70% of violent crime is caused by drunks. That may not be totally correct because I am just going from memory but it is somewhere in that region, at least in the UK.

Nick11478

Wrong. Its not carcinogenic, in fact...

Havard says it fights cancer. click here

So you must be thinking of cigarettes which are legal, and yet are loaded with carcinogenic chemicals you smoke on tobacco through foam.
