      Sorry catsparkes,

      Have to say the truth here – I don’t want to make any illegal drugs legal.

      Hi Catsparkes

      That’s a really interesting question. I think a lot of illegal drugs are illegal for the right reasons, because they cause harm to society and to people. But there is potential for some illegal drugs to help certain diseases. There is some evidence that MDMA might be helpful in treating post-traumatic stress disorder. If this is proven to be true (in clinical trials) then maybe not legalisation, but controlled prescriptions from doctors might be able to help an awful lot of people.

      Hey catsparkes

      Well, i wouldn’t make a drug legal for people to use for fun, i would make it legal for doctors to give to people to help with pain. But these days, that isn’t so necessary because we already have good pain medications.

      I’m not sure which one i would choose though, that’s a tough question! And you win, because i can’t answer it! 🙂
