The Food and Drug administration review which drugs are safe, habit forming and which may lead to social problems.
They are pretty good experts and it seems there has been some relief for those really very ill with pot. Problem IMO is that here we have seemingly dopers getting drug activist doctors prescribing left and right.
There are various safe guards in society we placed there through the government (us) which are very good.
Our work environment could be filled with lots of cancer causing drugs and life ending things if there was no government control over what is legal. It is the same exact thing with drugs in our personal life.
I would say everything is give and take, but we can't allow chemical use in our personal life or at work without review, we'd get IMO a ton more people killing themselves and damaging others and I bet the bottom line would be a hell of a lot more public tax dollars out the door.
AKA "limited government intervention and freedom club"
Nope first is accurate. In the 60's and 70's the libertarians advocated legalizing drugs with the caveat that intoxicant use is never a mitigating factor for the defendant in legal or civil cases. In fact recreational drug use proves intent since users intentionally impair their own judgment.
Advocating legalized drug use without underscoring this responsibility for users as part of the package is indeed "pro-drug crowd". Feel free to try to debate this point by point.
