    So your initial comment was something along the lines of, “why don’t I have the right to do whatever drugs I want?” And I said that there wasn’t a constitutional right to drugs. Are you of the opinion that there’s a right to do drugs?

      Oh, lol honestly I just assumed I was in a different sort of discussion based on your comment. But actually, yes I am, to a degree. Most recreational drugs anyone’s heard of are, for the most part, safe enough. Otherwise they wouldn’t be widely used. Average functioning adults should be allowed to put whatever they like in their body, provided they’re informed of the effects it will have. Gatekeeping getting high is idiotic, when we are fully capable of providing safe places to do it. There are a ton of benefits to mental health in recreational drug use, not to mention that it is fun and nice and so should be acceptable in society, if done safely. And if the government was actually researching which drugs are fun and good when done safely, we wouldn’t have to rely on either dealers, our idiot friends, or the Internet to tell us which ones not to do.

        So I personally disagree. I don’t think there’s a right to be intoxicated (or shouldn’t be a right). I actually would like to see the limits of the 21st amendment tested by passing laws that forbade alcohol consumption after DUIs. I personally don’t have a problem with the legalization of marijuana and I’d extend it to certain hallucinogens (e.g. psilocybin, mescaline, & LSD). I would not like to see amphetamines and opiates legalized though and if there were a legalization referendum on them I’d personally vote against it.
