Should members of the Church of Peyote be allowed to consume mescaline?

It should be illegal, BTW.

Why?

[dead0man]

Narcotics aren't victimless.

Neither are cars, twinkies, tall buildings, beer, air travel or peanut butter.

The Twinkie benifits mankind more than mescaline does?  Are you aware of any religons that use the Twinkie as a major aspect of their faith?

But even if there is no good reason to use a substance you can grow in your backyard, why should the govt have any say in whether an adult uses said substance or not?  Maybe Liberty means something different to me.

Reading isn't hazardous to the health of you and others.

Mescaline is not physically addictive.  Why do you support having it illegal while alcohol is not illegal?  Beyond the extent to which the effects go, there isn't a lot of difference.

No response yet, I see.

It still effects your judgement way more than alcohol does.  And you can have a glass of wine and not be drunk/still be fully funcitonal.

So your for the legalization of pot then?  You can smoke as much pot as you want and still drive better than somebody with a 6 pack in them.

You're missing my point.  People don't just smoke enough so that they aren't effected.  You shouldn't drive drunk or even get drunk for that matter - and if you DO drink and endanger somebody, you should be punished - but if you're home alone and do whatever, I really don't care.  But smoking pot is a lot different than having a bear or a glass of wine.

So mescaline is bad because it, according to you, effects your judgement more than alcohol.  But pot is bad because it's different than beer or wine.  You don't care if people drink a case of Bud Lights a day as long as it's in their own home.  But if a guy wants to smoke a joint when he gets home from work to relax, in his own home, it's bad....because it's different.

No more or less so than your average drinker.

I was in my early 20's before I switched over.  Be careful though.  First you stop hating on pot, then prostitution, then all victimless crimes, then your against the Department of Education and the Patriot Act....next thing you know you're sending Ron Paul $100.
