Do we really want to add to the list of drugs that people can react badly to?

People already abuse them as it is with the current legal situation anyway, the only difference is the drug dealer and organised crime manufacturing it is the one making the profit here, not the Government that would get a slice of the pie in the regulation scenario.

if they were legalised I'd say you might get the odd fence sitter throw their hat in the ring and dabble but it's like tobacco, I've never touched cigarettes in my life, it's perfectly legal, I can buy them everywhere it just doesn't interest me.
