haahahah look "...Would their use increase? Many people choose not to smoke, even though they could. They rate the costs and health hazards of smoking higher than any pleasure it brings, and most people are moderate drinkers, even though binge drinking is legal. The same could be true of drugs..."

hahahahhaha one thing's for sure: he's either bluffing or he truly never touched a stimulant in his life. poor guy.... stimulants are not as easy to say no to as tobacco/alcohol.... especially physiologically addictive ones like cocaine haha. i'd say it's about 20 to 30 times harder to deny a stimulant compared to denying a cigarette.

There must be some way of regulating the sale of the "harder" drugs so you cant go mad.

Sure that would be easy enough, just make sure everything the user buys is on some sort of accessable narcotics shop database or something

I completely disagree, are you seriously trying say that you think there is a whole bunch of people out there you are thinking "I'd just love to do coke, but it's illegal so I won't." and that if it gets legalised they'll think, "this is my chance :)" and they'll rush out and buy it?

[perfect haze]

I also completely disagree being myself a smoker and a (now mostly functional and clean) alcoholic. The stims never became a monkey on my back, and it certainly wasnt due any lack of availability of them :)

lol whaaaat??? ppl don't do coke not cause it's illegal but cuz it aint accessible. once it's decriminalized and moreso: regulated into legal manufacturing, everyone would jump at the opportunity!

meh.... you smoke you look normal you drink you look normal you do weed you look out of it you do stims you're gurning like a tard and ur personality changes to that of a philanthropist! it affects you so profoundly and therefore speaking for the general public that knows to expect ppl who smoke/drink to look fine, cuz they dont get much out of it, they can refuse them. so again, speaking for the general public, if someone has someone around them on a now-decriminalized or even legalized stim like MDMA saying OMG OMG OMG you HAVE to try this. what do you think they will do?

when's the last time u had a smoker say OMG OMG this is soooooo good! or someone drinking alcohol say that (besides when looking forward to getting piss drunk)! hehe

when's the last time someone smoking "legal medicinal marijuana" said that? never! hahahhaha

Without meaning to be rude, I dont really think you have a grasp on the nature of addiction and its social and personal implications.

i already skewed away from the topic of addiction though :P i was explaining how the words of that guy in the article show he doesn't know what one can anticipate.

i guess the point i'm trying to make is substances that are more mentally addictive cuz you like their effects so much, are more volatile in the public domain over substances that are more brain-chemistry addictive. the public acts/reacts on a see/hear pre-requisite. the media tells them something, they believe it and go do it. people around you tell you stuff-- and if you find it consistent (coming from other ppl you know), you believe it and do it.

you could always have a shitty-looking heroine addict tell you omg this is the shit but their appearance would put you off. but when you have a normal-looking clubber telling you that the now legal MDMA is wicked stuff, and hear/see the same coming from more ppl than just that night clubber, you're easily enticed to go for it.

and kids are worse off. they're easily moved when someone goes to them "yo drinking is cool. smoking is cool." they get fake ID's and acquire some. if someone says that same line to a person in their late teens or older, they wouldn't be moved a bit! that's the difference between ethanol/nicotine and stims. the excitability/profoundness influences one's presentation and opinion of the effects. we're all marketing slaves. haha
