So, do you know all the people in the world who use pot, cocaine, meth, heroin, and all the people in the world that drink alcohol?

Because I don't, and I can't speak for them.

You can't seriously say that alcohol is as bad a drug or as serious a threat as meth, crack and heroin, can you?

I don't think so either.

I think ecstasy is the posterchild for how dangerous the drug war is. Ecstasy is one of the more benign drugs, though it does carry a 1 in 100,000 risk of fatal hyperthermia. Still, it is much less dangerous than tobacco and alcohol. Problem is, most ecstasy is cut with other stuff, like ephedrine, caffeine, and meth. That stuff, in the dosages the pills have, is pretty dangerous. Because there is no regulation for the product, people are dying preventable deaths. Ecstasy is not dangerous, and would be even less dangerous if people felt safe to call 911, if the pills were made by someone reliable, if they didn't have the constant threat of the government and prosecution for enjoying yourself. I say marijuana, LSD, ecstasy, shrooms and peyote should all be legal. Alcohol causes more deaths than all of those combined each year. It seems the only purpose of laws against them is Puritanical tradition.

DanceSafe has an interesting slideshow about MDMA neurotoxicity. Here's another study showing no neurotoxicity. And here's another summary indicating the low risk of moderate MDMA use.

Personally I don't even drink coffee, let alone do MDMA, but neurotoxicity of MDMA is far overstated.

Ron Paul is for legalizing marijuana therefore I am.

I was actually satirizing myself, my good sir.

Whoa calm down there gentlemen I did not intend for this to be a flamestorm.

And meanwhile you accuse others making posts exactly like this of spamming.

Fail.

That's 'cause the drugs aren't legal yet. If more people had access to them, the death rate due to them would skyrocket.

Marijuana's biggest danger is that it's unfiltered and may be carcinogenic, though not nearly as much as tobacco.

LSD, peyote, and mushrooms are extremely non-toxic

Well, mushrooms can kill you. Gotta make sure you get the right species of mushrooms.
