I KNOW DRUGS DID GOOD ACTUALLY VERY GOOD IN THE CREATIVITY OF THE TYPE WE ALL LOVE, BUT I AM AGAINST DRUGS ALL TYPE OF DRUGS. I Don't why but I am. I guess maybe I have been so afraid to get hook into them.

Like almost anything, moderation is key. Used occasionally most people will have little or no hit points removed. Used constantly is not harmless in my opinion, at least not based on the people I've seen use it in that fashion. We probably all know some people who use excessively and aside from the lung damage possible, it has the potential to alter motivation and sharpness I believe. Not saying everyone is the same in this respect, but I do think it can be a factor in wrecking some people if abused.
Should it be legal? Of course. The resources squandered in this effort are obscene. Making it legal will give the coppers more time to chase the real a****les and bust their heads open (hopefully) |

Something to think about. When we had alcohol prohibition it gave rise to mobsters. When it was re legalized, the mobsters were still there and just found other illicit businesses to focus on. While I support the legalization of drugs, we'll need to be prepared to deal with the unintended consequences.

Yes, it should be legal, and not only on my country but in the USA too, why? because Im sick of all the killing and the inocent people who get killed in the street in the cross fire because the drug cartels are disputing the pass to cross the drugs to the United States, creating terror in the nort of México and the crappy "intent" of the mexican goverment to "fight"narcotrafic.
30,000 dead people since the goverment declare war to drugs 4 years ago, more than two thousand of them was inocent people. And the drug dealers? well, they sometimes capture some big boss of the cartels, but in no more than an hour there is already a new one ruling the cartel, the corrupt police and politics. I hope it get the legalization in California, that will be a good relief here. |

In addition to marijuana, I also support legalization of (at least) natural psychedelics, such as mushrooms and peyote. And I suppose it's scratching up against the wrong side of the site rules to suggest it, but most people should try a psychedelic at some point in their lives.

Some things never change, Bayer is a Rothchild company. Ha ha, they are still in the drug business and they even peddle the same products but more covertly now a days. Remember, the illegal drug business pays way more than legal drug business does.

Yes. I have many friends who smoke EVERY DAY. They're going to be going into graphic design and making $30K or thereabouts going in, I believe. And they get work done.
Everything I try to take into account on pot comes from 1st and 3rd-person experience. I know a lot of drug users, and marijuana alone has discernibly harmed NO ONE WHATSOEVER. 100% legalization for everyone over 18. Any amount. Maybe not near schools or in government buildings. The decision to legalize might be harder to make if pot were not totally harmless. And having ridden in cars with people stoned at the wheel, I can tell you that while people act differently on pot, anyone on the phone, texting, brushing their hair, and listening to music obnoxiously loud are loads more dangerous than an attentive pothead at the wheel. In my experience. |

To be fair, I always figured stoners would be cool and chill.
Of course some are, but from my experience the fairly good majority of them are pretty big douchebags |

Wikipedia to the rescue!
If you scroll past the first couple top rated comments you can see why I really don't like stoners.

Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant dose; in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton's original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed.[30] Coca-Cola still contains coca flavoring. After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, Coca-Cola started using "spent" leaves — the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level.[31] To this day, Coca-Cola uses as an ingredient a cocaine-free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey. In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant,[32] which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca-Cola, Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use.[33] |

I could be mistaken but though the Kola nut was used so was cocaine.

It did happen during the Depression, so yes. Iimagine that one day the guys just partyed so hard that they came with that age old drunken speech: "I swear never to do X again". And then they passed the law.
AFAIK, no. The thing that they use is the kola nut, but Coca Cola has been hitorically inclined to pick bad names. PS: I mean the soda, not the medicine. I don't know about the medice's ingredients. Edited by CCVP - September 14 2010 at 10:28 |

It was. A lot of outlawed drugs were available "over the counter".
