So do you think any of that is reason enough to prevent adults from determining if they want to put it in their own bodies? I mean, come on, of course a government agency is only going to talk about the negative effects. They never talk about the positive effects of drugs. That's why drug "education" is such a joke. All right, children, now someone is going to tell you all the bad things about these substances... that millions of people choose to use and we really have no idea why. Anyone with a thinking cap on can clearly see there's something else going on here.

It seems to me that alcohol can cause organ failure, brain damage, and death too, and much closer to the effective dose than many drugs, and the only difference is that you know it's going to be pure because it's legal and regulated. Of course, during alcohol prohibition, plenty of people died from toxins in poorly distilled moonshine as well, and the official government line was probably to stop drinking illegal alcohol. Fortunately once the Depression hit, everyone came to their senses...

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
