But my link wasn't posted to start a discussion about the affects of drug use of which alcohol is responsible for most "body and mind wrecking"

I've said it before and I'll say it again all drugs should be legalised, made safe, and fully taxed

Alcohol taken in moderation is OK but one dodgy ecstasy tablet can kill

Pills can be dodgy cause they are illegal. People die when they're forced to drink moonshine.

It can be more than okay when not taken in moderation too. So I've heard.

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is OK to take, see alcohol, tobacco, sugar, etc.

I would prefer a society that protects its most vulnerable people, and in my opinion that's the best way to do it.

Of course some recreational drugs can be modified to be used for medical purposes, that is common knowledge. A lot of difference to getting high on drugs leading to harder drugs, drug addiction and drug overdoses, suicide etc.

From all research into drug addiction, seems to be that in quite a few cases, many drug addicts started on the road to addiction by taking weed etc then gradually move onto harder drugs.

''Using marijuana causes impaired thinking and interferes with a person’s ability to learn and perform complicated tasks. THC also disrupts functioning of the cerebellum and basal ganglia, brain areas that regulate balance, posture, coordination, and reaction time. This is the reason people who have used marijuana may not be able to drive safely (see "Does marijuana use affect driving?") and may have problems playing sports or engaging in other physical activities. People who have taken large doses of the drug may experience an acute psychosis, which includes hallucinations, delusions, and a loss of the sense of personal identity''

They all start on fags and booze first so you'd argue they should be banned too?

I personally wouldn't care if they banned both of these items. (For the hard of thinking, I am neither calling for or supporting such a ban - merely pointing out it would have no effect on my life0

Incidentally a new report is calling for the ban on sales of cigarettes by each year increasing the age at which you can buy them https://tinyurl.com/2bm6gkb8
