I am not suggesting that it should be sold over the counter - only in controlled stores same as alcohol. Could not some standards be set as to quality as well, t avoid the risk you noted above? Don't we have such for alcohol, lest people be served alcohols that are poisonous like isopropol alcohol?View Thread
I would like to know where I can find a definitive analysis of the relative risks to a non-user regarding alcohol addiction and cocaine addiction. That is, where is the scientific proof that taking cocaine once of a few times is more dangerous than taking alcohol once or a few times? If it is NOT more dangerous, then why are we fooling ourselves in thinking we need a drug war that we are NOT winning, against cocaine, when we don't with alcohol?
Can someone reply please as I would like to advocate for a change in drug laws if the science substantiates it. Think of how much money we could divert to prevention and curing of addiction, if we did not have to spend it on fighting the drug law violations.View Thread
