If Crack was legal today would you light up a pipe ?

Maybe right after filing your taxes ?

The most dangerous part of any illegal substance is the illegal economy existing to support it. Drug dealers generally can’t sue each other so they resolve disputes via other means.

Law Enforcement has the right to suspend all your so called rights because someone you may or may not know might have an unauthorized substance.

Set the legal drug age to whatever the enlistment age is. I’d argue 21 for both.

I wouldn’t but I don’t drink either, while many ppl drink themselves to incapacitation.

The difference between crack and a bottle o’ Jack though is that consequence of a crack-filled weekend isn’t just a hangover.

Maybe a society with all drugs legal would eventually figure out tolerable dosages for heavy recreational crack use (I really did write this ha), but do you want to live through the couple of decades of that discovery phase?

Crack is less harmful than alcohol by pretty mucch every measure so if anything we should be swapping the place of alcohol and crack.
