“If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on.” Terence McKenna

Look, addictive drugs were banned in the first place because they rob you of you free will. The same free will that the Constitution was founded to create.

You don't like it, move to Portugal. You can shoot up all you want there.

Yes that's why China banned opium too.

Yet now opium is so over-prescribed in the US to the point it's been classified a health epidemic.

So if you're looking to US law as your moral guide, then you're not really paying attention to what's going on.

Also this guy is talking about psychedelics, not heroin. Most psychedelics have anti-addictive properties, and in fact can help people overcome existing addictions to alcohol and smoking cigarettes, both of which are far more harmful to use on a regular basis, than to use a psychedelic once.

The land of the free, huh?

Always a cheap shot at the Declaration of Independence and other things that keep America together. They just love doing it.

So you have no rebuttal of the points I made? That's a little disappointing. Oh well

There's no rebuttal to a cheap shot.

I brought up several relevant facts, you regard it as a "cheap shot". Okay.

100% agree with you here, fine sir, /u/magnora7.

It detracts from whatever point you might have made to the point that I don't want to reply to it. Sorry, I'm not going to argue with you. It was hurtful and uncalled-for.

Such theatrics! Well, at least you don't have to address the points being made, and that's the important thing. Have a good day.

You are without a doubt an exceptionally intelligent individual.

Your response was a one-punch knockout, and he's still on the ground.

It was hurtful and uncalled-for.

From the emotional fallback response it would appear that an apology is an order./s
