Stances on drugs?

I mean, how about fapping?
Fapping doesn't keep you elated for more than a minute or two at most.
It's kind of pathetic I guess, but I've been high every waking moment for months now...

Legalize weed or ban alcohol, there's my goddamn stance.

I've lost several friends to the latter, have yet to lose one to the former.

Although I mostly agree on legalization for medicinal purposes, the argument of "alcohol is legal, so why isn't weed" is a dumb argument, considering yes although "natural" weed isn't as dangerous as alcohol, with alcohol, a mainstream party drug we've used since the beginning of civilization, the negatives are a lot more known, and as a result your average person won't drink more than 2-5 (cans?) one day every weekend before they decide they're at the top of their high and its time to stop. With weed, there's very little research of the negative parts of the drug, often ends up being a gateway to harder drugs, and doesn't function very well with parties, unless everyone's (using?) it.

I can literally plaster vaping all over your argument and say the same thing with a lot more power due to it's technological tie-ins, yet that is still very much legal.

So I'll change.

Legalize weed or ban vaping. Happy?

using vaporizers with illegal drugs is still illegal.

I know, hence why it was implied you use the legitimate form of vaping. I feel like you may be unaware that vaping is not restricted to marijuana.

Also, since I kinda just sorta noticed/registered it.

With weed, there's very little research of the negative parts of the drug, often ends up being a gateway to harder drugs, and doesn't function very well with parties, unless everyone's (using?) it.

The fact that you said 'often ends up being a gateway to harder drugs' is not only, well, false, but if it were true, that would be research on the negative parts of the drug right there...
If anything, in case you haven't noticed, the government is constantly clawing and going apeshit to find more negatives with weed, to the point of fabricating points. I'd be more compelled to say that there's very little research of the positive effects of the drug. I mean, basically every point that can be made in it's favor is just "It feels good". That's it. That's literally it. It reduces stress? Yeah, because it feels good. It eases your troubles? Yeah, because it feels good.

I have flipped through the online pages enough to know that nearly every argument and statistic in it's favor is just that it feels good and isn't nearly as addictive as other drugs/substances.

The cons, however? They reach absolute preposterous levels and I don't use that word lightly. There's stuff that's just plain wrong. For example, unless you think video games cause violence in a perfectly sane and well-grounded individual (in which case we're not friends anymore), then Mortal Kombat is my gateway to lighting my fists on fire and challenging people to a supernatural fight in the street.

Hell, it's basically Australia government logic. And fuck Australia.

you fuckers

its your own life and you're responsible for what you do with it

It doesn't really matter to me if you do drugs. I wouldn't do them, though.

Imo weed is not bad.
I don't smoke often, but oh well.

I hate cigerettes so lets not start on that.
And I also do not like drugs like herion, meth, cocaine, etc.

So really, I don't really like drugs other than weed, but I won't dislike someone if I found out that they do drugs.

Never did any drugs so can't provide a opinion, not that I would any way.

a month later

Not a heavy user at all, but I do take a couple of hits of weed from time to time, and wouldn't mind trying LSD.

Don't really have any issue as long as their use isn't in public or such that it could in any way affect those in the vicinity of the user, who choose not to use them. I'm very interested in the effects of psychedelics, and still have yet to determine whether I'll use them.

I would never do mushrooms, because poisoning myself doesn't sound very fun.

I have done LSD though, and it has some severe long-term (maybe even permanent) effects. I am very happy with them. I am now in college and doing much better with my life, and it has really helped with my depression. I don't really do drugs for "fun", besides the once or twice I've smoked weed. I really like LSD and hope more research is done on it so that in the future we can move on to legalizing it and even using it to help treat depression.

I am sort of addicted to caffeine, if that actually counts.

I'm against "smart drugs"/nootropics that people take to try to "performance enhance" for passing tests better.

Similarly against steriods.

I could explain about why but it's not that interesting, just feel like natural is best. That said of course I beleive in drugs in medicine to cure thing.

I believe you should be allowed to do whatever you would like to do to your body, in any way shape or form. With the discussion of drugs, there are good drugs and there are bad drugs. Drugs like LSD,Cannabis,and a variety of psychoactive chemicals, were one of the causes of my psychosis. However drugs that are prescribed to me have been helping me deal with this psychosis and bad side effects from said drugs. I really don't care if you do drugs, just don't endanger me when you do it and make sure you do it in the privacy of your own home. There is also the opinion that drugs can open your mind to greater things. Let's say you take LSD and your entire view point on the world is changed and you have an ego death like experience. If this happens then it is your duty to spread the word around to other people to let them have a warning about what it will be like if you do take this or that type of drug.

I do smoke weed from time to time. But i've learned to discriminate between what's okay and what's fucked up.
For example, i've done LSD a couple of times and i hadn't any problems, but i've seen people destroying their lives with stuff like cocaine, crack, and stuff. Heroine and other stuff like that is nearly impossible to get.
In fact i had a cousin who started doing crack and i caught him twice breaking into our home to steal stuff just to buy another toke.

decriminalise everything so addicts can get they help they need, but legalise minimally harmful drugs like marijuana and such

Truth to be told, addicts aren't that easy to work with. You see, addicts in rehab usually tend to go back in the habit by little frustration episodes. When the governments around the world start to do things like better reinsertion politics and the likes, then we can start to decriminalize. It's a vicious circle.
