I started this thread because it was posed as a challenge. I am sure this would be a better world if it is recognized that people have the right to use drugs and assume the consequences if something happens, the same way as happens with alcohol. And it is very easy, instead of spending billions in a stupid war and destroying more lives tan are saved, that money can be used to issue "cards" to get drugs from authorized dealers or fromthe government itself. Lots of people would stop being criminals, there would be no more side effects, the police would be more effective, diversity would be recognized as a principle. dangerous drugs would stop being used, tobacco would be less a problem, the good effects of drugs would be acknowledged, research would get better options, patents kept secret would benefit people, there would be less violence, more thorough information would be available, lives wouldn't be destroyed by destroying reputations and spreading rumors, etc. After all, if cocaine and marihuana are so dangerous, why not ERRADICATE the fields? THAT can be done and it WOULDN'T be an ecological catastrophe, there are enough species going extinct every day that the extinction of dope and cocaine would not even be noticed. So why be hypocrits?
