"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Black is White, White is Black - Guess which Drugs are Basically Non-existent on this List
For all of the fear-mongering by statists about why we can't legalize all drugs, let's actually look at what is happening in REALITY.
The cry from statists and Practical People of all stripes is "But heroin!" End of discussion. It's like calling someone a racist, just uttering the word "heroine" is a conversation ender when talking about drug legalization.
Alcohol kills more than heroin. Alcohol kills more than cocaine. So shove your pious moralizations about saving society from heroin where it belongs.
And what do you know, pharmaceutical drugs take top marks for killing the most people, yeehaw! Well done statists, congratulations, now we can all reap the whirlwind of your fantastic "mixed economy" and the inevitable corporatism, restriction of competition, government granted monopoly (redundant as it is), regulation that most often is not only written by, but agitated for at the outset by the industry to be regulated. Mixed economy - not too socialist, not too capitalist - just right.
Your legal drug market kills more people alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, MDMA, LSD, opium, cannabis, mescaline, mushrooms, and other narcotics - combined.
And look what kills basically no one - the plant based hallucinogens. Cannabis and mushrooms in particular. I will follow up with some more articles about this, stay tuned.
