Why are 'drugs' illegal?

Simple question! Apparently it's a personal choice, we are all grown ups with responsibility and accountability for ourselves, so why should they be illegal. Why not just an age gate maybe and some centralised pertinent guidance?

(And you know which I'm taking about)

Hehe...because they're too much fun!
Why go do retail therapy, or get a manicure when you need a pick me up, when you can escape the pressures of life on your couch.
Why pay a Doctor to prescribe you stomach ulcerating, blood pressure raising pharmaceuticals, when a few tokes of mother nature can alleviate pain, tension and stress with minimum side affects?
Heaven forbid that we be given a choice!

Now be a good little puppet and stop asking questions.....

...you might get people thinking - and we cant have that!!!!

@BoobooSnafu I'll ignore the condescension. Yes exactly, choice is what I'm talking about.

@SW-User Damn!... It was meant to be wry irony directed at the generic thinking encouraged by mainstream mediocracy.

I didn't mean to offend you by it...and I intended no personal insult.

But it do agree on the question of choice.
Just because a Doctor prescribes you something, doesn't mean it's good for you.
Conversely, just because something is illegal, doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

Gaining knowledge, and perspective to be able to choose how we can best live our lives, hopefully in a contributory way.

@BoobooSnafu You're so shiny dude 😎. No worries, absolutely agree. We only see in one direction through a telescope!

Thanks Man!

Although I'd say we only see in one direction - through a rolled up bank note.

It shits me that people blindly believe 'proffesional' opinion. And i use the word opinion deliberately.
Ironically the people employed to help/fix/cope and clean up the negative repurcussions of illicit drugs use...are so ignorant of the diverse impact these drugs actually have, both possitive and negative.

They arent equiped to deal with the problems effectively, and they arent even aware of the lives that actually improve and become productive because of a well Managed, balanced drug intake.

And yet varied doctors and vets can dish out chemical cocktails to one and all.
And worse! People blindly consume the drugs they've been given - without any knowledge to how and what they do.

And therein lies the core of the whole issue - ignorance

OMG!!!!... It's
Friday night and I'm on a rant already!!!

SEE! - If i could just pop down to the corner shop and buy a quarter, I'd be chillin on my deck philosophising to the stars, rather than ranting my opinions to a little white screen.!!!'
