I believe that, the law should reflect that each human being is entitled to do, to their own body, whatever they want!
I'm in favor, authorities sometimes just don't understand some people need them.
North Korea does not need any drugs, they are totally drudged by ideology dogma. I now i have lived in communism.
recreational drugs must be prohibited. there are lots of ways to party and have fun without harming somebody and yourself.
I disagree, now people still buy them but from the underground market. They are now all cut up or filled with chemical garbage. If the government regulated the sales of these drugs far less people would get hurt. The demand won't shrink anytime soon, the best thing we can do it carefully manage it.

Yes, I certainly agree with you. Actually they were prohibited here in our country and that is why we have war on drugs right now. It turns out that it was really good as we feel much safer. Yes, I agree again that there are lots of ways to enjoy the evening when you are partying. Drinks are enough and good music to have a fun while partying. Besides when the effect of drug subsides and you have done something unimaginable and you really do not like, you will surely mourn and grieve after realizing what wrong have you done. So, stay away from drugs.

You should pack up your bags and go to North Korea. Everything is prohibited and everyone is safe....and severely brainwashed. I think you'd like it there.

We need to draw a fine line between a recreational drug and illegal drug. I think some drugs should be considered the former over the latter. EG Cannabis isn't really something we should be arresting people for when at the same time doctors across the country are writing scripts for opioids like it's no body's business.
Have to agree with you there. Marijuana is a relatively harmless drug although there is a lot of negative propaganda against it, which should be legal just like alcohol and tobacco. If harmful drugs such as Oxycodone can be legal, then why not weed?
Legality of substances has never had anything to do with the harm associated with it. The negative propaganda has been coming from special interest groups that stand to lose something if cannabis was used freely. This includes the pharmaceutical, alcohol and tobacco industries which are in direct competition with either the medicinal side, or the recreational side. But the original propaganda was actually against the hemp industry and cannabis just got looped into that deal. This came from the paper, cotton and petroleum/plastic industries, all of which can be replaced completely with hemp. To this day growing hemp (to be clear this is not psychoactive) is illegal in America.
The problem is that these industries succeeded in fear mongering the general population into stripping away their own freedom, in order to lift the profitability of these special interests. This is clearly evident by the opinions on this thread.
Even if cannabis WAS harmful, it should still remain legal, and we as people should educate ourselves on what we do and do not put into our own bodies. You can walk into any drug store and buy a container of advil, swallow all the pills and die. No one is preventing this from happening aside from the user being responsible for him/herself. The government doesn't give a shit about our health although they put on a front that they do, which is why cannabis is illegal.
I disagree a substance shouldn't be illegal or legal based on the associated harm with it. I mean heroin is a horrible drug and really should be made illegal. Then again you're also correct in saying you can go to any store almost buy enough advil to kill yourself with which makes little sense. I think the difference those is the addictivness of it which therefore relates to the extreme stretches of reality to make that addiction happen eg live on the street or in a house with roaches.
I wasn't saying that harmful drugs should be illegal, if that is what you're disagreeing with. I don't think you should go to jail for putting anything in your body. Human beings should have enough intelligence to understand what is going into our bodies, and make an informed decision about it. In keeping drugs illegal, propaganda is fed to us rather than scientific information on the effects. This forum is a perfect example of how little people understand about drugs, both legal or illegal, yet have a strong opinion on policy.
You seem to have a problem with heroin, yet you don't have a problem with a doctor prescribing morphine do you? You don't understand that they are interchangeable drugs. Exact same effects. It is this exact ignorance that is the cause of everyone HATING heroin, but having absolutely no issue whatsoever with morphine. Let's remove the taboo about talking about drugs and start doing some research.

Well if you use those prohibited drugs (at least for our country) for medical purpose I think there should not be any problem at all about that, however if you use those drugs just for mere pleasure and enjoyment then that's was the time when the problem occur , not only you will be affected but the people surrounding you as well because the more you use it all the more you will be dependent on it , so as early as today if aside from medical purpose please dont use any of those drugs.
Tell me what the negative affects are for me and those around me if I take psilocybin mushrooms, other than going to jail of course? This is illegal.
Now tell me the negative effects of being prescribed oxycontin by my doctor, and starting to take it. This is legal.
And in my country, the doctors who prescribe medications such as Oxycodone and Hydromorphone receive commissions from the pharma companies. Now things get even more murkier. These sort of opioid drugs are very addictive and harmful for the human body. Yet they are 100% legal.
Isn't it terrible when your consultant for health is the same person as the salesman? Doctors are also educated to prescribe pharmaceutical solutions to problems. The approach to throw a pill at the problem, mask the symptoms, put a fake smile on your face and be on your way

H.B. 2355 passed both the House and Senate last week and reduces possession of illegal drugs to misdemeanors rather than felonies as long as the person in possession does not have prior drug convictions. According to a press release issued on July 7 by Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, the bill provides for "the reduction of penalties for lower level drug offenders. The bill also reduces the maximum penalty for Class A misdemeanors by one day to avoid mandatory deportation for misdemeanants."
According to the text of the bill, drugs like LSD, MDMA, cocaine, meth, oxycodone, and heroin are essentially decriminalized in small amounts. Each drug listed is accompanied by the following text, indicating possession is only a felony if:
"(a) The person possesses a usable quantity of the controlled substance and: (A) At the time of the possession, the person has a prior felony conviction; (B) At the time of the possession, the person has two or more prior convictions for unlawful possession of a usable quantity of a controlled substance."

Heard about this today as well. A step forward in my opinion, and in some time it will be yet another example of decriminalization of drugs having a positive impact on society.

If taking these drugs can lead to addiction, then it is dangerous for you. The government cares about that its citizens were healthy both physically and mentally. Therefore, such drugs are prohibited.
I'm against having them in a shared access. After all, they can buy children with fragile psyche
I agree with you. The government cares with its people, futher they do this to atleast lessen crimes that often times caused by drug addiction. They knew exactly what wil happen if these drugs were abused by its people. That is perhaps there were drugs that needs prescription because of the addictive substance it have as well as causing side effects. Studies were made to prohibit drugs reasonably.
Why did you both respond to my post with specific questions, with a generic answer? Because you have no clue about the difference between drugs whether legal or illegal. You have no clue which drugs do harm and which don't. Google is here for you, use it. I understand being ignorant in 1970, but you have the internet to do research and there's no excuse for ignorance anymore.
You don't know that most deaths happen from LEGAL tobacco. You don't know the 2nd most deaths happen from LEGAL alcohol. You don't know the 3rd most deaths come from LEGAL prescription drugs. Now tell me how much the government cares about you? And I'm not saying any of those should be made illegal, but you are both talking some misinformed garbage.
Psychedelics are not addictive at all - yet they're illegal. You're main concern about drug addiction doesn't apply here, so tell me what the government is doing to keep this illegal? Who are they caring so much about?

Drugs are drugs and you do not need to invent some kind of medicinal properties for marketing purposes. It turns out self-deception and destruction of the body.
I don't know anyone who has managed to stay a recreational drug user, how you have called it. Drugs causes addition and sooner or later you will not be able to stop that habbit anymore and that leads to all kind of problems, so stay out of it. On drugs you will spend a fortune and get nothing but troubles.
As you can see in the subject, what is your opinion on a recreational use of drugs? So far I've noticed that guys that do drugs like mdma, ecstasy, cocaine, weed(if you consider it a drug, I don't tho) are lowlifes that are in the setting of "Let's get wasted, party and then do some more drugs" and nothing else but they always look at themselves as something higher than the others.
What is your opinion on that and is it the same at your place?

It would be wise if we do not consume drugs, any kind of drugs more negative impact than positive.What is your opinion on that and is it the same at your place?

Drugs is something illegal in my place, and the law is very strict for my country's people.
