NightmarePatrol:
Here's an interesting article that will spawn some even more interesting debates in the future I'm sure. Of course if Alcohol the mos dangerous will it be recategorized as a scheduled one? Nah, way too much money in it.

Yes, I saw that research. The effects of alcoholism on the family are endless and are really traumatizing to kids. I know, I was one of them. I have maybe 2-3 alcoholic drinks a year. For all of my faults, foibles and weaknesses, that is one trap I will not let myself fall into.

What it SHOULD mean is that 'they' ought to de-criminalize everything else.

thats a point that can be argued.
We are losing the "War on Drugs" or maybe realistically we have lost it.
$40B a year spent, and the illegal drugs are more readily available then ever.
The illegal industry is worth $400B a year , and look who's benefiting.
MAybe a way to attack it is to go after the $400B. Put the drugs in state stores, and price it at breakeven cost. If the bad guys can't make money on it maybe they'll go away, or a lot of them anyway.

Big time. Most controlled substances didn't become so controlled until government decided to control 'em. Again - I think most elitists of either stripe consider that majority of people either stupid or immoral. Fact is - we can be neither or both . . .
Who benefits from these things being illegal?
