No. DMT is illegal because of fear and populace control spiraling from publicly unsupported 1930's anti drug campaigns. Not because people need some sort of deterrent for breaking laws. I'm sure you'd be all in favour of legal deterrents if someone was stealing your stuff or beating on you and your loved ones. Let's not confuse legality with morality, I'm fairly sure we are in consensus on that.obliguhl said:This belief is exactly the reason DMT is illegal.but setting consequences for adults who deliberately break laws is also important.
Laws evolve naturally as a mechanism of society, they have and always will. Empowering our young people to take the challenge of changing outdated and immoral laws is a worthwhile cause. Even though I'm not a smoker I am enjoying the trend of marijuana legalisation across the globe. It will spread to psychedelics too eventually I believe. I hope I live to see the reversion complete.
It's unnerving to say the least.null24 said:Bottom line is this man just lost ten years of his life for something most of us have done or actively do here. This should scare any of us.

This thread has forced a paradigm shift on me. How this presents in the context of US and how it would present in my own place of residence do not necessarily add up to the same intent.
While I can't support such lunacy (on all sides, police, media and victim), it's disquietening to think of young men sat with such powerful weapons in dense urban environments. It defies logic. But people will what they will... and they will own the outcomes too.
