Lets not bang on about the word 'drugs'. Methamphetamine and Caffine are both equally drugs. Its far too wide a term to describe perfectly safe things like Cannabis  .
If the government legalised some of the safer drugs , we would be taking them out of the hands of criminals and in to the hands of the government , taxing them and using that tax to provide drugs for the elderly and build rehab centres. Lets not forget illegal drug impurities.
John Stuart Mill urged that the state had no right to intervene to prevent individuals from doing something that harmed them, if no harm was thereby done to the rest of society.
I think he has the right idea.

Cannabis perfectly safe. really!!!! Link to a scientific evaluation that confirms that please........
No harm done to the rest of society. Ok to drive under the influence of drugs then. Ok to watch a drug sodden child of about 12 having to be pulled away from attacking a 72 year old woman. That's what happened just a few yards from where I live.........
Drugs including alcohol turns people into idiots that play havoc with society.

Dont put words in my mouth.
Its about as safe as drugs get. Yes their is always going to be the story of your neighbour and my uncle and whatnot but for all intents and purposes - and when used right - cannabis is safe.

I am not putting any words in your mouth but I am trying to get you to give proof of your claim. As it stands you are putting into peoples minds/mouth that drugs (Cannabis in particular) is safe. Prove it.......

Im giving my opinion , and my opinion , and of my experiences of extensive use of the phychoactive - it is safe if practiced safely - just like cars are safe if drove safely - but they can be crashed you know  .
As for the you putting words in my mouth...

Your suggestion drugs are safe therefore your mouth not mine. That incident is real your claim drugs are safe for society are not. If they were such incidents would not happen.......

You just did it again. I said cannabis was safe. If you were to - based upon 'society' draw upon a list of things that are not safe because somebody has an accident or what now then we would have no drugs , cars , electrical equipment , or sports.
Their - now we are going to live for much longer - with alot less to live for.

I think what we need to remember here is that any mind altering substance can have consequences. For me I worry that my daughter will try drugs like cannabis and end up in a vulnerable situation that she is unable to get out of.

Also important. Which is why - as I say - they need to be taken responsibly and safely. I know of very little people who take something like LSD without planning. Its not just a recreational drug.
