The truth is that many drugs, such as marijuana, magic mushrooms and LSD are extremely safe when used responsibly[/b]
Yah, but we're not talking about people using these drugs responsibly, are we? You can tell anyone all you want about a drug and it's effects on them if they take it, prohibit it's usage and you STILL get dumbasses out there who abuse it and end up ruining their lives (and even worse - other's lives). Now you're proposing to make the shit available at any convenient store?

We're obviously not gonna agree on this, and that's ok. We're quite a bit off the original topic anyway - but I think my main point comes down to this: Sure, you can educate kids on the "truths" about drugs, but it won't make them wiser. You can legalize it, taking out the "black market", but making it so easily available will increase the amount of users > addicts > junkies > crime. All in my opinion of course.

In closing: I got no problem if people want to snort, smoke, shoot up (or themselves!) - just keep it to yourself and stay outta my yard
