Why this huge push by the government to criminalise ‘legal highs’ and push the trade into the hands of criminals?
How many people die in any given year from legal highs, compared to
how many people die from cars? And what harm are these substances doing
to anyone other than the user? Where I could argue that cars damage the
atmosphere, my lungs, and potentially my
safety as a pedestrian or cyclist.
This is obviously the same argument about control that goes for any
currently criminalised substance, its total hypocrisy and is a
ridiculous way to impose will on the masses. Does a legal high cause
more damage than tobacco or alcohol to the user/ society?
Or even fast foods, when considering the health implications for the
individual concerned and the pressures put on the NHS? Not a chance. And
even if it did, its my decision to make as an independent sentient
being.
I find it incredibly condescending that the governments of the
world deem their public to be so devoid of intellect that they must be
forcibly prohibited from putting certain things in their body, which in
itself could be considered an independent universe
outside the jurisdiction of any third party.
When you compare this to any other living thing on the planet it
seems totally impossible that a snake would ever stop another snake from
consuming something because it thought it might be bad, or that it
might have negative implications for greater snake
society. Apart from some insects (ants, termites, bees), animals are
truly free individuals to experience life uninhibited by rules and laws
and I am so jealous of them for that.
How I wish the government would put some effort into clamping down
on tax avoidance and hedge fund gamblers rather than legal highs and
benefit fraud.
