Zeta Girl,
What do you think is stupid about drugs? I used to think that too because I was taught that as a kid. Rightly so, because I didn't have the ability to comprehend drugs at the time. however, as an adult and as a student of controlled substances, I have learned a lot. For instance, did you know that LSD is not addictive at all? Marijuana is also considered not addictive. Unlike ciggarettes and alcohol, of course, which are legal, but also addictive.
Also, LSD especially has never been shown to have negative effects of the type cigs and alcohol do such as cancer, cirhosis of the liver, and destruction of brain cells. Marijuana doesn't hurt either, except when it is smoked, when it is just like cigarettes. however, like some cancer patients that take it in pill form found, it is not harmful in that case and actually relieves the pain resulting after chemotherapy. Cocaine is nearly as adicitve as cigarettes, however, it is not nearly as destructive, unless you snort it in which case you do cause damage to your septum.
So, I guess my question to everyone is, why are such highly addictive and self-damaging drugs like alcohol and cigarettes legal while other drugs, like LSD which is netiher harmful nor addictive, illegal?
