In life now a days, drugs are now considered to be useful for medical usage as well. Take Marijuana as an example, the positive benefits that can help an ailing patient. When discussing the fact that drugs are bad, we need to take a look at the true history of them. The problem lays usually with the industrial process of the drug. Drugs and medicines alike have been around for at least 30,000 years already. Religion's around the world even use these medicines for ritualistic purposes which otherwise would be considered illegal in the US.
The fact is that yes drugs can be bad for people, but when being used in a safe form, drugs such as Marijuana, Ecstasy, and LSD could truly have positive affects for people. When reviewing the chart below, we can see that drugs are separated into 3 separate sections of Depressants, Psychedelics, and Stimulants. Depressives and Stimulants are both addictive yet are still legal. Whereas psychedelics are not addictive physically but are illegal.
So my opinion is why not? Why cant drugs to a certain extent be legal? The only problem is to what extent, and who gets to decide that? When will our society ever be drug free or at least dependant on its own without the stimulants to generate our world to what it is now?
