    your hope that people are unable to make their own choices.

    My only hope is to stop people from destroying their physical and mental health in their short-sighted pursuits of feel-good chemicals.

    Alcohol, caffeine and tobacco should also be banned, but their capitalist industry is too big at this point to be stopped. Let’s not add another monopoly to the list of legal-drugs

        The way the US went about banning alcohol was extremely poorly implemented, with ignorant and insensitive policies. Over the last few decades we have made tremendous advances in the field of psychology. I do believe substance-abuse could be eradicatedin in an effective manner with the knowledge we have nowadays.

      Dosage matters. Adults should be capable of making informed choices about something like this. We should be encouraging education, not banning it

      Again, you give good information and you have made your choice, I only ask that we allow others to do the same.
