this guys videos are pretty cool yo
Cocaine has legitimate medical uses, I know in some deviated septum surgeries they will actually lay small lines on plates and insert them up your nose pre- or post-surgery to help with pain upon waking. My mom is a nurse and was telling me about how this one time they were doing that but the nurse who did the insertion was careless and put it in two far and left it in for two long and they came back and found the pressure pushed her left eye out of it's socket for like 45 minutes and she lost sight in that eye and sued the fucking shit up out that hospital.
Since I've been smoking bud basically nightly I haven't gotten a migraine and I used to get two or three a week at night that I had legitimate prescription medicine (Imitrex is the generic name, dunno about the actual one) for.

It also has medicinal values that work for MANY different diseases since it softens pain. However other stuff like the drugs you mentioned on the op, only work for specific things so i doubt it will ever be legalized. Maybe at most allowed in strictly hospital use.[/QUOTE]
Wow no. LSD works as a pseudo anesthetic, it doesn't dull pain but prevents people using it from noticing it. I.e. it doesn't stop nerve responses to pain from reaching the brain but people don't notice it anyway. That can be applied to a lot of things.
Highly addictive drugs don't ruin lives unless you get addicted, which is the exact same for cigerettes, alcohol and weed. Cigerettes and alcohol are arguably just as addictive.
Personally I think it should be an all or nothing situation, I don't really smoke weed but I'd support legalisation of it equally because just because I'm not fond of it doesn't mean it shouldn't be legal to use, you should think the same of other drugs.

Portugal decriminalized drugs, and kept trafficking illegal. Drug use went down, HIV spreading from dirty needles slowed down, and more addicts are finding help in treatment centers.
Personally, I think decriminalization of some of the softer drugs, followed by the harder drugs some years later would be one of the best approaches.

haha yeah i love the one where he tells about his insane LSD trip. seems perfect for a movie script
the whole center of the legalisation argument is that prohibtion will only make dangerous drugs even more dangerous- through contamination etc.... and whilst weed is more accepted than hallucinogens for example- the logic is the same. Prohibition fails with weed, it's catasrophic with hard drugs- cocaine cartels, anyone?
[QUOTE=flyguy88;31818417]So i've noticed a large majority of the decriminalized/legalize discussion is directed at marijuana soley.
It seems that also a large majority of them only want marijuana legalized or decriminalized. This sort of pisses me off because
several if not all illegal drugs have medicinal use. Quick example hallucinogens help cluster headaches, but there are plenty others.
Just wondering what you guys think and or if you have noticed this also. MARIJUANA ELITISM.

reliable source ^? (notice this includes all illegal drugs, yes heroin, crack, mdma..etc).[/QUOTE]
Marijuana is the most thoroughly researched of all the illegal drugs and has been proven to be non-addictive, safe, and natural.
Hence the large following it for it to be legalized.
All the bad drugs produce serotonin syndrome.
The MIX can.
It also happen that i got some pain around the eyes, but it happen rarely and the pain is not intense.
I'm all for the legalisation of marijuana, and while I don't condone the use of any of the (much) more harmful other illegal substances, I have been pushing the point to people that decriminalizing them is the way to go.
Currently, people looking for, for example, crack, have to find a criminal (because if you criminalize something, only criminals will supply it) environment, putting themselves at danger, and because of the high demand and (fake?) low supply, prices can go as high as the dealers want them to, pushing hard users into theft and robbery if they get desperate.
The same person, however, in a country where people are free to choose how to fuck with their own lives, this person can walk into a pharmacy / drug store / what have you, get a product that has been tested for safety - well, relatively speaking in that there's no contamination - and get a cheaper product that will be more consistent (less risk of OD), thus even if not stopping the eventual transition into crime to support the habit, it makes it a lot less necessary and pushes back that transition.
There is no ideal case, but it's definitely the lesser of two evils.
:Edit: By "don't condone" I mean I wouldn't recommend anyone to outside of a medical environment, but I do realise there's a difference between soft and hard users as well and I know some people can function just fine in society despite their habits at home.
what the cool thing is I live in a medical enviroment :D
Fuck, that looks so painful
