Opinions - Legal Drugs are not connected to violence

[Randombutterfly]

The legal drugs are not connected to gangs, drugs, trafic, ect. Do you think that a good point to try to expand this market? I have friends that tried lsa seeds, for example, and had great trips. They are mj substitutes, and loads of pills around.
What is your opinion about them regarding being legal and not that used as the prohibited ones?

The illegal ones wouldn't be connected with violence if they were legallized and their distribution was taken out of the hands of criminal cartels.Legallization of all mind altering substances is the key.

these drugs are borderline legal and renegade drugs and will lead to violence not within the users and distribution, but the surrounding, and maybe consewuntly be illegalized, as happened with all drugs made popular within the scene. One-way street imho -ize of the world...

violence is based around an individual, rather then a select drug. Of course people do commit violent acts for drugs it or how it effects them specially if you look at alcohol although not everyone is violent on a given drug.

It still up to the person at that moment if he/she believe his or her behavior warrants violent behavior to a given situation. they still make a choice to do that action. Unless there mentally unwell where there actions are part of them being unwell or possibly with drug induced psychosis but very rare often people who have mental health issues are the victims of violence rather then the people who cause harm.

I agree with all your views. Just bringing the discussion because where i came from, the most popular ilegal drugs are directly connect to gangs that hire children with 12, 13 years old to work for them, carrying machines guns, doing a hidden civil war, killing, ect.
Of course the violence is in the soul of the human being, but sometimes it increases with the environment...
The legal ones, when they are still legal, they can offer jobs, pay taxes, ect...and some substances have a very similar effect to the most popular ilegal drugs...

It's an interesting topic, but this is the wrong forum for it. This forum is for drug news.

It belongs better in "Drug Policy Reform & Politics", or the catch-all "Some for all".
