You're definately right. If we are forced to keep heroin illegal, then using it is a bad idea. There's no denying it. But pretending that we can't change the laws and make them more ideal helps no one. I'm not condoning heroin use, I'm condoning responsible heroin use. That means the person...
It simply could not have been. It is a childish myth to take seriously, as languages evolve much like species, though on an incredibly scale of time. In some cases, you can even see how different languages evolved. They didn't just pop into existence to stop us from reaching "heaven".
I do not believe in the existence of an "eternal human spirit." At least, I don't think I do. What is it? Define it for me, or else this question is too vague.
It means nothing that one species of dinosaur had no feathers. There were hundreds of thousands of species. We know only of a fraction. We'll never find them all.
I disagree. Many young people will disobey. They will not have information on how to use drugs safely.
Drugs are not harmful. Some can be, but most are not.
I think he said it wrong, yes. He should have said that if you are interested in sex or drugs, you should research the subjects...
The earliest religion? Well, strip all religion away. Start there.
Early humans with no conception of forces above or beyond their own. But wait! Humans, even, presumably, early humans, had brains designed to deal with entities. Entities with motives, designs, schemes, and secrets. We...
Consciousness. A common word. But a common phenomena? I would say yes. Throughout the animal kingdom consciousness exists. Even plants have a certain "awareness," though not one approaching consciousness. But can one hope to suggest what the consciousness of another being is like?
The...
The loss of humanity's multilingualism is a very sad occurrence.
We need a diverse variety of languages. They enable us to see things from new perspectives. Languages have the capability to actually change the physical structure of the brain; this is evidenced in many languages. If we lose a...
I don't think cigarrettes as we know them should be legal. It's a disgusting attack on the human body, sanctioned by government and corporations. But I believe that tobacco should be legal, in its pure form.
I bear the responsibility for any actions I take. The drugs I use have nothing to...
Alcohol is, by far, more damaging than heroin. In fact, if I had to choose one of those drugs to illegalize, it would be alcohol. It is more damaging personally, to society, and to family than heroin ever will be.
Of course. But when scientists are payed by political organizations, you...
From Erowid.org:
These are the health problems for GHB:

I readily admit that it is dangerous, just as alcohol is. But the education required to achieve a certification for it would remove most, if not all, of the danger.

This doesn't work at all. Then they'll just operate away from the sight of the authorities, selling it as high as always.
Sorry, but that's not what happens most often. Most don't get that addicted. Where is this money going? Crime. Where would it be going if legalized under the model I...
I disagree with this. The morality of all animals is based on the individual species. Humans evolved with a specific set of morals; because it was the one that assisted our species the most. Dogs evolved with a different set, and cats evolved with another different set.
Even the other Great...
Firrinn, but Michel and I go way back and I have a lot of respect for his opinion.
The same is applicable to alcohol.
Both. It's more socially acceptable, females or males might not know they've been raped, and it's cheap. Far cheaper than GHB. It also causes much more damage then GHB to...
The "date rape" drug is a common myth. GHB was banned because it was a "date rape" drug, when most people don't use it that way. Alcohol is more of a date rape drug than GHB, or other types. Most people who use the common date rape drugs use them recreationally.
And if the "date rape" drugs...
