GROW! GROW! GROW! CULTIVATE! PROPAGATE!
Thats how we can win the war of etheogenic botanicals.
They're not going to legalize synthetics or extracted chemicals anytime soon, get over it...
But botanicals... well with psychoactive botanicals we might just have a chance of having them legalized in the next 25 years.
we can all help by not ever buying drugs again but only making them ourselves for us and our friends to share. where there are no dealers there is no need for DEA or something similar. nobody really gives a crap about what people do in their kitchens as long as it doesn't turn up on the streets.
That's a very good point and one I'm trying to make as well... if we grow our own plants we can become self-sufficent in producing all our own psychoactives.
It simple, legalize (and legitimize) Mother Nature... and leave "drugs" illegal.
Just think.... drugs are illegal, but you can grow/buy all the Mimosa and Caapi you want (and if you are discrete, you could extract and smoke DMT in your homes).
so you dont want heroin or meth legal..but you can get oxycotin from a doctor and you can get adderall from a doctor..i would say they are both just about as legal as they can be...
Both would be illegal without a prescription in my perfect society.
So you keep Coca legal and people import it, thereby simply making cocaine out of it in their own country, exposing themselves to dangerous chemicals in their basement if they do it 'discretely' in their own kitchen. Or allowing the criminal gangs to continue doing it for them in your back yard as well as overseas, thereby addressing none of the social factors inherent in cocaine use and in fact arguably furthering them.
Cocaine would be illegal. Coca leafs legal. You would get arrested for making and selling large amounts of cocaine. However.... if you made 1 gram of cocaine inside your house, never sold it and did it once, then you probably wouldn't ever get caught.
Well its kind of funny. Because if other drugs were legal (like LSD MDMA or whatever) would they be available only by prescription?
That is how I would want it. All botanicals are legal. All drugs are legal ONLY with a prescription.
Really intelligent scientist, poets and chemist could apply for prescriptions of pure pharmaceutical LSD-25, Mescaline and N,N-DMT on the basis of "internal exploration" or other worthy endeavors, and of course since the botanicals are perfectly legal anyone could import huge amounts of Mimosa root bark (or whatever) to quietly extract in their home-labs.
Botanicals would be legal for EVERYONE to grow and use as they see fit (unless it is transformed into an illegal (or prescription only) drug.
However the sale and production of dangerous substances could be regulated in some ways. If people really want to do meth they should be able to why the fuck not?
That is where I disagree, I don't want people doing meth, heroin, cocaine or other hard drugs unless they have a damn good (medical or research) reason.
The answer is allowing everyone a complete right to their own body and mind as long as they don't have any impact on anyone else. Unfortunately, where drugs are concerned they may have an impact on someone else. I come back again to ganja, or even mushrooms. Natural does not instantly equal safe. It may equal safer but people are people, they can use anything badly.
I find statements like this to be LUDICROUS!!! Nobody can use meth safely, No one can use heroin safely (unless they are a medical professional administering it to someone besides themselves for medical reasons).
How can you not use cannabis safely? How about Peyote? Certain drugs are worse than others as far as addiction and negative effects go, PERIOD!
Why just the other day I was arguing with a heroin addict who first told me how much pain he was in and how he would like to never do opiates again, but he "can't" and then 5 minutes later (after he shot up) he was telling me how safe it is and that there aren't really any negative effects.
One of my goals of all these crazy policies is to remove power from the hands of the rich pharmaceutical and agricultural companies and place it into the hands of the gardener and the farmer.
I envision a world full of magical plants. There would be a fruit orchard and a medicinal garden in every yard!
