Should all recreational drugs be made legal?

I've heard this opinion brought up before and I can't say I don't disagree with it. It's a mix of freedom and Darwinism that makes me feel like it wouldn't be a bad idea. However, do you do anything to prevent possible dangers with more dangerous drugs if they are to be made legal? Is there anything that could prevent the dangers?

I can see both sides of the argument honestly.

No

Drugs like meth and heroin should never, ever be legal

Hell no. Where do you draw the line as far as "drugs"?


Also, try asking this on reddit, you will get an overwhelming "yes" answer and all sorts of anecdotal arguments for it, if you are looking for a specific answer

No. Pot and mushrooms are the only ones that should be legal, IMO.

Most hallucinogens should be as well

Correct answer

Drugs for the public good should be for the public good.

Drugs against the public good should be illegal and the purveyors subject to extreme deterrents like lifetime hard labor or execution.

Eventually someone has to say yes.




Also, I know this will never happen.

What exactly falls into this category? Are we talking simply more extreme?

No. I do think they should let clean needle programs operate with freedom though. I know in some areas they are still hassled

I personally don't care what someone else does in their free time, in their own home, as long as it doesn't have an effect on me, at work, or on the road, or any public place.

If there was a way of testing for recent use of a drug, say the last 10 hours ( like there is with alcohol) then I wouldn't have any problem with it being legal,because maybe that would deter most people from getting high at work, or driving high.
As it is though, I don't think we can do that.

Because people don't know how to act appropriately. And the benefits to me don't outweigh the change.
