this is true, i saw it on the history channel and forgot that.
as for what "bad" means? who cares? i was trying to get a discussion started.
if they were legal there would still be problems, etc...
As Z said... we need to try to get addicts clean and give them help to get them straight again.... this is called "Harm Reduction" many european countries follow this. it works. things like needle programs, addiction centers and gov't supported rehab.
*drugs in general* are bad; legal or not, if they were legal there would be less stigma and propaganda, safer drugs, i would guess almost no drug related crimes, but it would still be problem none the less.
as with tobacco and alcohol, they are legal and abused by the majority of users, but that is because it's accepted by society to do so.
Dragonlich noted "factoids" from different countries, i did not know that. something interesting.
what bermuDa stated is what many people say and i agree. many older peopls that did drugs in their teens and 20s stop after they realize whatever it is . (i'm not that old so i dunno
)
thanks to all who gave a useful reply.
