I believe that until or unless prohibition is completely repealled knowledge of the synthesis of drugs is very important. It should be passed down so that it is never lost. So that these extremely valuable compounds are not lost to us.
We have all live in a world where the idea that a governement may forbid us under pain of imprisonment - with all the torture that entails - from a consential activity that harms no-one else - and were it not for prohibition - would not harm the user either. There are obviously some dangers inherit in all drug and other pleasure or enlightenment seeking ventures. We do not deliberatley make hang gliding or sky diving MORE dangerous to "send a message", so we shouldn't with drugs.
Most Western and many non-western nations have abandoned the idiotic notion of punitive prohibition - i.e. punishing an individual for their own drug use. But there are holdouts. My issue is whether we shall ever be free of this monster? While the Nanny staters and their "Public Health Lobby" still have the ears of politicians and reactionaries in politics who knows. In fact the current changes mirror a sort of Reformation remeniscent of the Protestant Reformation. i.e. First there was Reform then Reaction - at it's height Lutherism represented a revolutionary break with the past that almost every country in the then Western world embraced - even Spain. But the reactionaries were quick to turn the tables so that only England and Scotland and parts of the low countries were left - by the end of the 17th century as protestant. So is the "War on Drug Users" over and will Prohibition follow?
I can't know this but I do know it will take many decades if it happens at all. So any external threat etc will stall progress. Drug Prohibition is the Elephant in the room for sure. Every social issue leads back to it. Euthanasia would not be a problem if prohibition didn't exist for example. But is the alternative world something that could have arisen?i.e. What if prohibition NEVER came into being as it seemed in the first Supreme Court decision? I look back on the last four decades as time of social advancement, but the monster of prohibition grew during this time. How different would our world be if this monster had not come into being - or was it inevitable.
Keep in mind that the most commonly used drugs, both by individuals and in medicine are drugs that have been around for at least 100 years - 1913 MDMA patented, Heroin in 1895 (morphine much earlier), Cocaine since the conquest of the Americas, Magic Mushrooms also from the Americas - as well as DMT bearing plants. In fact since the 1950's we could all have lived much better lives through the sensible use of these and the newer drugs (Benzodiazepines, Barbituates). The point is the commonly used drugs are old and off patent. This is why the Pharmaceutical industry is so anti drug law reform - Marijuana stops Nausea much more effectively than anything a Pharmaceutical Company can make so they want to stop its use. The same applies to opiates. I suggest you go to this website (opiods.com) to get a better articulated version of what I'm attempting to say.
We are not all perfect chemical creatures, some of us NEED effective drugs to make life worthwhile - I am one of those. Anxiety and Pain are lifes worst aspects and we CAN treat them - yes you probably will develop tolerance but if your not being forced into taking too little and can take what you require that issue is trivial. More than that - research into how to overcome the issue of tolerance has been dropped because the nanny staters don't want a Heroin (for example) that was "non addictive); fancy that - drug use with no negative repercussions! Thats the way they think. Drug Prohibition only makes drug addicts lifes' hell. The bullshit explanations for it are transparent - the real motivation is CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE - always remember that!
So back to the topic of this post; mankind - as the Romans found out through their emperors - is inheritly unreliable - trust NO governemental authority to prescribe your life. THINK, use your own powers of cogitation to make your own decisions in life. To the point - learn how to make these drugs so that no nanny state government can ever destroy these valuable and crucial instruments. Never let someone spewing nanny state nonsense go unchallenged (just as you wouldn't tolerate anti-semitic or anti-black comments) drug users are the last group who can be freely beaten on in western society - you can incite people to kill a drug addict on the radio with no repercussions.
Finally, remember that once public mutilation and execution where considered essential - now we consider them barbaric - the same applies to drug prohibition; just because it has existed for so long doesn't make it untouchable. This is the most important issue in the western world - do something. Most people are sheep - but if you read this you are not.

We have to steer away from anything concerning the merits of the drug rehab information which is more important. Thanks for the tips.
