I can. I'm much more accepting of the truth when on drugs.

According to chart LSD, ecstasy, and meth are less harmful than pot. Therefore with my preconceived notions of said drugs, pot should not be legalized.

I want to keep pot illegal for the soul reason that it will piss off the assholes who do it.

Not really because right now buying it is probably a lot less cheaper than if it was legalised and taxed.

Your opinion is an incorrect one, I'll send you a copy of my book.

Depends where you are, I know in this country if it was legalised it would be taxed like a Horse.

I'm not particularly bothered on legalisation either way. It's not like any drug is hard to get, even if you know literally no one that sells it within the day you could find out.

Meh, legalise something fun, like a fucking cannon, yeeeeah

You do realize "meth" is part of a chemical prefix and methylphenidate is not methamphetamine, right?

The article is also referring to the mass amount of health problems and healthcare problems all those drugs cause. I think alcohol and tobacco are more of a drain on society than LSD.

Anyone can make a stupid fucking chart and put in arbitrary numbers to say what they want it to say. The only reason it has any credence is cause they're scientists.

That said I did read it while watching my bears lose again and all I can say is it's a typical "pot isn't that bad" article while pointing at tobacco and alcohol being legal. Same major points as always. That said, I agree it should be legalized so assholes that smoke pot have to pay the same stupid taxes that I do on my beer.

I would like to see the actual report rather than take these numbers at face value.

Lumping all amphetamines together is a bit strange, eccys and meth are quite different in terms of harm/health and effects. Also, caffeine should be on that chart.

Wish I didn't need an account to view the article.

I'm just a bit skeptical since how they rate the drugs on a scale of 0-3 for society harm, physical harm, and dependency.
