This is an interesting thread and I’ve been there and enjoyed it very much but eventually grew out of it. It’s strange though, just because society has made it illegal, why does it make it bad?
Cannabis was banned for decades but has huge healing Properties and has been reported thousands of time as one of the many cures for cancer. It obviously how many other serious conditions and nowadays it is available on prescription.
Psilocybin or Magic Mushroom’s also have been banned for many decades, but these have been proven to help with mental health issues, serious issues that medicine cannot cure. There’s a huge underground movement calling it plants medicine and it’s helped millions of people recover from depression, anxiety and an endless list.
Of course cocaine is heavily manufactured and the version that we take recreationally is full of poison and other toxins. Let’s not forget it was legal I don’t know 100 years ago and in early 20th century. It was in Coca-Cola and you could buy it in the chemist as it was in many products. It only got banned when people started having fun with it.
Obviously Amsterdam has cannabis and mushrooms as legally Purchaseable items so no one Bats an eyelid in that country. Just because it is illegal mean there is anything wrong with it.
Far more pain, disease, cost to health services and detrimental effects to families and communities comes from alcohol and cigarettes and sugar, all of which are simply taxed to justify keeping them legal.
An adult can choose to do what they want to do he doesn’t mean any drugs are inherently bad or good. What a strange world we live in.
