I have to agree that our current drug classification system is wrong on multiple levels; however, there is some of this I don't agree with. Its also worth noting that the study also doesn't include crime related to drug trafficking, nor does it include other flaws of the illegal trade such as impurities, unknown dosages, etc.

Does that mean we should legalize LSD and Ecstasy as well?

For that matter, I do too.

Though I have some conflicting thoughts on the matter. Since, culturally, we view drugs and other intoxicants as recreational activities. That works very well for Alcohol, and to a lesser degree marijuana, but it's a terrible mindset to have when contemplating the use of LSD, or any other psychedelic.

Ecstasy, from what I understand, is pretty much the ultimate recreational drug, though I've never tried it myself.

I don't think there are many physical side effects to LSD or marijuana and I don't think either are habit forming. Legalize it.

FWIW I don't even smoke the green stuff anymore.

seeing as you used to be able to buy mega super duper powerful Thai magic mushrooms from luggage shops in Tottenham Court Road, then yes, there is apparently no logic to it.

christ those were a bad idea. my friend thought he was Jesus and locked himself in the bathroom for 3 hours yelling about the rapture.

I think it's pretty well established that MJ decriminalization/legalization is becoming the norm. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I give it 5-10 years tops before it's largely on the same legal plane as alcohol. There simply are no rational reasons to continue prohibition.

Did anyone catch that Cocain was a level II, while Marijuana was a Level I.

Thats because movie stars need their blow and it'll be a lesser drug charge.

Like I said, pretty outdated, eh?

Ecstasy is only dangerous when impure (like many of our illegal drugs are). It stands against logic the way the system works, but then again hemp was made illegal because of lobbying.

All drugs legality is a consequence of lobbying.

I could of told you it was outdated without any study

True, but as our political system goes, everything is run by money.

Haha, it was funny as hell tho! (well, not for him, but everyone else in the room it was )

I think any uppers should be illegal and should not be used by anyone.

Downers on the other hand should be left for the individual to assume the risks.
