Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
Most of the ground breaking popular music wouldn't have happened but for the influence of drugs.

No - it's about the Beatles, The Who, Hendrix all who's groundbreaking music was largely influenced by recreational drugs. The question is "without using drugs would these acts have created such groundbreaking music?" And would Rock/Pop music have been what it was.

The Beatles were on uppers (Amphetamines) in Hamburg. Are you saying Sgt. Pepper's is crap? I don't think the Beatles made a "bad" record in the 60's did they? Hendrix as the Jimi Hendrix Experience was all about LSD - not to mention Cream who were into the LSD and Ginger Baker was a heroin addict and Clapton was latter on.

He'll be pleased you told us that. Can we have his name so we can have a chat with him about his experiences?
Although if he's a GP and a writer it shouldn't be difficult to find him.

See? A brain turned to mush.

No one's said that.

Those who are addicted to heroin etc, start off taking 'softer' drugs.

Fact.

Please feel free to prove you aren't spouting more guff, by quoting any person in this thread, who has said 'drugs are lethal and lead to serious damaging addiction, for everybody who takes them'.

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
Since you're up.

Can you try and muster enough energy to try and answer these questions?

If it's not too much effort.

Even though you've posted that you've taken it recreationally.

When should it be made legal, and freely available to all, and what makes it different from crack cocaine, say?

Can you list what currently illegal drugs you'd like to see legally available for all and sundry, to take 'recreationally'?

So cannabis can lead to cocane and that can lead to heroin?

Is that what you are saying to put it in layman terms
