It seems this post has evolved from being a legalize marijuana thread to being a legalize all drugs thread. While I personally think all illegal drugs should be legalized. I don't think that this can be achieved under the current political climate.
I believe that making psychoactive chemicals illegal goes against the liberal tradition of thinkers such as John Stuart Mill, who greatly influenced our founding fathers. It also goes against our freedom to control our own thoughts. If people want to take chemicals that couse them to think in a different way they should be allowed to do so, as long as they are not harming anybody else in the process.
I do not think anybody wants to live under the constant suspicion of the thought police.
