Teen girl while under the influence jumped to her death while shrooming.

So? How many people have gotten themselves killed from alcohol?

 

[Spade]

While I'm against most illegal substances, outlawing them on a premise such as this is silly. That's like saying you're going to outlaw markers or white-out because some people think that inhaling their contents is a good idea.

Um, those "illegal substances" are legal substances there.

Well, to rephrase- "what are deemed harmful substances here in the States."

You mean like tobacco, alcohol, Prozac and Ritalin? Oh wait...

75,000 people a year die from alcohol.

of course alcohol doesn't allow perceptual exploration, so who cares?

Fine- "what I deem a harmful substance." There. Can't get me on that one.

And while we're on the subject, Ritalin < proper discipline. Not so much a harm as it is an annoyance.

Tyrants!

 

[blind_fury]

yeah it's funny until they make your drug of choice illegal.

Odd question, but does anyone ever wonder what the first experience with 'shrooms and human consumption was like?

 

[Fanticon]

Shrooms are no bueno...but how can you ban something that grows in cow dung? If someone wants to go pick magic mushrooms from cow crap and eat em to see if they "work" let them...I know there are many places other than cow patties that hallucinigenic mushrooms come from...but atleast its not being manufactured, or grown like poppy, coco, or marijuana crops. Do I have a point?

God made shrooms.

why don't you ask him?

 

[Spade]

God also made the platypus and Satan, if you go by Biblical logic. He doesn't have a perfect track record.

I'll need acid to do that.

 

[BatMatt]

I've done em, had no urge to do anything stupid, just listened to Pink Floyd for hours

God made the platypus on 4/20.

Satan could be a myth.

and there's nothing wrong with the platypus.

Unless your a fascist conformist. t:

Don't change the subject!
Alcohol doesn't make people jump of roofs or think they see things that aren't really there it just makes you really drunk and stupid.

Ohh and I'm dutch, did shoorms and yes they should be banned or well regulated.
It's kinda ******ed that even kids can buy drugs in my country.
