In respons to Penguin 's blog post about legalizing drugs. My comment back would be to long so I decided to repons with my own blogpost about the matter. Firstly though, I must salute Penguin for taking the time writing down his opinion with depth and passion. But...

For those who has been in addiction and have danced with the devil and won in the end. Penguin 's opinions are very dangerous. A subjective person who really want more of a subject, materia or substans can be driven very far to aquire his/her goal. I, myself, believe that every reality has its alternative reality. There is not "one truth" to anything. With that said, Ill say Penguin forgot to try counter the most dangerous aspect of "drugs" in general. The addicts drive.

While Marijunana is a very weak substanse who is not more dangerous than alcohol,it doesnt validate to legalise it just because alcohol isnt illegal today. Coffee would be illegal today if it was discovered in modern age. But that doesnt change anything. Today is today. We live in modern times where we democratically vote for goverment to take reigns over larger-than-life questions are decided to a degree. Thats where the discussion will end in anyhow if treated properly. So... Lets just leave Marijuna out of this. Lets look at the real drugs.

Im not going do analyse each drug and argue for/against them. The level of addiction (physical as mental) differs but works in a similar degree for each inividual. Although Ill put them more into "lighter and heavier" drugs depending on their addictive sideeffect. As thats the absolute number one killer of the drugs.

The lighter drugs which include alot of hallucionates and synthetic drugs. You will get a mental addiction rather than physical. What does that mean? It means that you believe you need it although your body doesnt actually urge you to take anything. Its more about your original reason to test the drug than the drug itself. So thats your own mind fuck. On the other hand... If not careful or if you actually are not really that stabile as you think you are. You will add the drug to your library of bricks on your shoulders. Many will continue to take the drug to get the desired affect as its cool and makes you feel great. The main issue is... after a while your body will ofc fight the drug and counter substans in your body that will hold off the effect of the drug. You will experiance this as you must take higher dosages to aquire the same amount of effect. Your body will, in turn, create more anti-substanses and the battle against your body is on. Now... what happens is that when you stop taking the drug after longer terms of use. Your body will continue to produce this counter substans but now has nothing to waste it on. So it will start to break down. In practics this means that the body is creating a serie of extra chemicals which you will react to. You will start to feel what is called "abstinens" and even if you manage to fight your body through the process the body continues to produce the substanses and you will really get annoyed and feel uncomfortable. It will get to a point where you cant stand it anymore and you will tell yourself that you are just taking it for fun again. If you actually managed to hold out for a while. Lets say a month... You will almost get the same amount of rush as you did first time.

Welcome.. your back to square one. You have now just experianced why so few get out. Why the lure of your body will keep you chained to an addiction that will control you. Your will is no longer your own, so to speak. And if your will is no longer your own you cannot decide whats right and whats wrong during addiction. Is that what we want in our society?

Heavier drugs... Opiates for example. Crack and heroin as examples are way worse. Sure you can smoke crack and heroin but your body will react alot faster to counter this as it considers it highly poisonous. In just a few tries your body has created extreme amount of counter measures to get rid of the substans. For heroin you get em after first injection. And inject you will. Smoking will be like a sucky foreplay to the real rush. And get down from heroin is like having a really bad flu. You puke, you shit, you puke AND shit. Every 5 minute for two days straight. After long term use you do this procedure for 3-5 days straight. In some cases thats what kills weaker heroinists. But when you continue to use it, it will be your friend. You will feel calm, smooth and really good. Or for some, they will feel paranoid and their reality totally altered. But you will feel that its REALLY happening. Its impossible for you to decide whats right and whats wrong because your own mind is telling you "the truth". Then try get out from that. You will get desperate. Your body will ache and your mind will reel in panic as if you where out of air or drowning. You must get the drugs no matter what happens. You dont care iof you get caught or kills someone if it just means you can get rid of the desire and "get back to normal".

All in all. The addiction and the loosing of your own will is the dangerous part. Legalising it will make some criminals pout. But they are not stupid. They will go legal and keep making money so the reasoning behind that is just pure waste. And then you have the side effect. The market pricing works rather simple. Demand and avialability controls prices. And as drugs will control your wish the demand will be extremly high. Because you will want to get more than your body can handle in the end anyhow. And who will afford it? And those that doesnt afford it but are out of their mind trying to sooth their panicing mind will do what?

Yeah... its not a very nice sight.

Been there. Done that. You dont want it. I dont want it.

Defending it will only ruin more lives. I love my fellow man. I love life.

Say no to drugs.
