It's a blessed thing to be alive but consciousness is also a tyranny imposed on the self. This is why the USA government should make drugs legal.

The policy approach to drug use should be help and assistance for addicts and tolerance for non-addicts. That is to say, tolerance for the bloke who might on occasion snort a line of coke, but help and assistance for the people suffering from addiction. The drug war should be abolished in its entirity.

So called "non-users" are probably getting their highs from natural things like being a manager/boss (having power of others is pleasurable) or having wealth/status (being perceived as better than others and having high status provides a natural high.)

As inequality increases in the USA with no signs of it abating, the government should allow the masses to partake of drugs as an antidote to the psychic stresses wrought by social and economic inequality.

ending the war on drugs will not solve the worlds problem. I like the idea of consciousness being a 'self imposed' prison, of sorts, but drugs are not the only thing that can break you free of that so please do not tell people they need to take drugs to better themselves tia

It is this sort of pathetic stance that has prolonged the War on Drugs because it justifies the moral outrage which is the cornerstone of that project.

The usage of mind altering substances is not a bad thing. Yes, it can certainly be abused to a destructive extent, but the availability of such products for those who would responsibly use them should be a human right, for people have always sought a way to escape the self and the prison of consciousness.

Oh yes Mr. Fourteen Hundred, tell me how else I could free my mind. Should I read Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance? *rolls eyes*

(ps I only drink alcohol and enjoy bud occasionally and am too chickenshit to gently caress with anything else.)

It's fine to experience the human condition naturally, from inward beginning as a child. It is when the mind is first able to glimpse the entirety of it from the outside now but without the ability to escape it that consciousness becomes a prison compared to it's formative - primitive state.

It's not the consciousness that's the tyranny, it's your brain-as-thinking-organ/id.

Go ahead, turn off your thought stream. I'll wait.

No luck? That's because you're not any more in control of it than your digestion or circulation.

Disassociate yourself with the idea that you are your thoughts and the tyranny subsides.

OP they just sort of did this in Mexico

http://extract.suntimes.com/news/10/153/8202/former-mexican-president-says-the-country-will-legalize-all-drugs-within-decade/

The Mexican Supreme Court found smoking weed to be a human right, and it paves the way for them legalizing everything. I think people will have issues being responsible with legal hard drugs, but it's probably better than cartel violence and such. At least people will be doing clean drugs and not overdosing or wrecking their bodies as much.

Last season was a strange one in my garden, notable not only for the unseasonably cool and wet weather - the talk of gardeners all for its climate of paranoia. One flower was the cause: a tall, breathtaking poppy, with silky scarlet petals and a black heart, the growing of which, I discovered rather too late, is a felony under state and federal law. Actually, it's not quite as simple as that. My poppies were, or became, felonious; another gardener's might or might not be. The legality of growing opium poppies (whose seeds are sold under many names, including the breadseed poppy, Papaver paeoniflorum, and, most significantly, Papaver somniferum) is a tangled issue, turning on questions of nomenclature and epistemology that it took me the better part of the summer to sort out. But before I try to explain, let me offer a friendly warning to any gardeners who might wish to continue growing this spectacular annual: the less you know about it, the better off you are, in legal if not horticultural terms. Because whether or not the opium poppies in your garden are illicit depends not on what you do, or even intend to do, with them but very simply on what you know about them. Hence my warning: if you have any desire to grow opium poppies, you would be wise to stop reading right now.

As for me, I'm afraid that, at least in the eyes of the law, I'm already lost, having now tasted of the forbidden fruit of poppy knowledge. Indeed, the more I learned about poppies, the guiltier my poppies became -

i think everyone should be allowed to do whatever we want until we all realize that the thin layer of false security has been washed away with the blood of our fellow countrymen and then we must make a choice. who lives? who dies? i choose logic, OP! for me and my family i think we will hole up in an old miners cabin i have staked out in the san jauns. there is a dairy queen / brazier franchise there where we can secure rations for the long cold winter that is approaching.
