Making it legal

There are new drugs being used and discovered and they are coming out faster than the government can legislate it illegal. Right now you can get access to Legal Speed, Morning Glory, which are seeds that have the same effects as acid, Magic Mushroom Growing Kits and Salvia Divinorum, which gives a four-five minute intense head rush. There are probably a lot more out there that I haven't tried yet.

You do not need to seek out a drug dealer and score some drugs that can potentially put you behind bars for a very long time, or you can go down to High Times and learn all about the ways around the Canadian System.

Its illegal to dry and eat shrooms but not to grow them, there is no other use for these kind of mushrooms other than their hallucinate effects. Walk into a Head Shop and you will find all kinds of bongs, pipes, blunts, papers, books, clothes and legal drugs, this may sound a little radical, but selling a bong is like selling a gun without any bullets, without the weed the bong is useless, without the bullets the gun is useless, only difference is that bullets are not illegal. Look at what is legal and what isn't, guns, alcohol and smokes, all drives people to an early grave. I do not want this to turn this to the good ol' Marijuana Legalization debate but think about this. They say that one joint equals around four smokes, so if this is true lets do the math, four smokes divided into a pack of 25 (the average someone smokes) is six and change, and most people who smoke pot do not smoke six joints a day and do not smoke each and every day. Take into account that Marijuana in its simplest form is a natural and the worlds oldest cultivated plant and contains as just as much chemicals depending on who puts what into it, same as smokes.

Also Marijuana is used for medicinal purposes, it helps people who suffer from cancer, extreme depression and anxiety, and other illnesses, so if it has good effects for them then it should be available to the public. Of course we cant do this for all drugs that have positive effects like Tylenol 3, Perkasets and Demerol which are all pain killers.

Far off topic, in the end what I am saying is that drugs are coming on the market faster then the government can deal with, the house of commons and parliament work just about as fast as if they were all high off the dope.

From your local semi-legal drug experimenter.
