I think responsible, intelligent people who seek to enhance their creative and cognitive powers through psychoactive agents should be permitted to experiment with a wide variety of drugs. However, such a policy would exclude 95% of the human population, who are neither responsible enough nor intelligent enough to benefit from mind-altering substances. I am in favour of drug prohibition for the general population not because I look down upon average people or wish to punish them, but because I love them and want to protect them -- just as I wouldn't allow a child to consume alcohol, even though I indulge in it myself. Those who are only interested in "getting high", and to whom spiritual enlightenment is a matter of utter indifference, cannot benefit from psychedelic agents anyway.Your anti-human personality type is, unfortunately, why most of western civilization is teetering on the verge of violent bankruptcy that could erupt at any moment. "for their protection" bullshit. Look, if you are trying to make a case that you have to protect people from THEMSELVES, while simultaneously instituting a fuckload of moral hazards that encourage people NOT to take care of themselves (socialized/public medicine, mandatory insurance, many etc's.).... can you see the logical fallacies in that position? Can you see the violation of basic human morality and inalienable rights? Can you at LEAST admit there are huge contradictions in a statement like that?Your jaw must just hum with all that cognitive dissonance rattling around in your head. fuck.
