re: #86 Justanotherhuman

The thing is, they’re illegal here, and it didn’t stop the people you describe. On the other hand, it has been abused to target minorities with great effect.

Looking at other countries, and Colorado for that matter, having the drugs legal doesn’t really change most people’s habits. I read somewhere that the percentage of people who smoke marijuana did not change in Colorado after legalization.

And there are lots of things that are just as addictive and just as self-destructive that are not only legal but could never be made illegal, one being the internet (yes, people have had to be treated for internet addiction).
