Ecstasy was legal until 1985. you cant overdose on it like they claim. any deaths related to it are from dehydration and not the drug itself. i saw a report on emergency room visits because of drugs and it was nothing like you would think it was most of them being from depressants mixed with alcohol and prescription drugs.
if the government didn't lie about the effects drugs have on people then alot more people would be doing them.alot of people dont smoke tobacco anymore not because they put all the tobacco sellers in jail but they did it through education teaching people about the harm it causes. if they let the people out of jail that had committed nonviolent drug crimes the prisons would be half full instead of over crowded leaning more room for the rapist and theifs.
i think the governments viewpoint on drugs is way off. alcohol is the gateway drug if you ask me
