If I want to do X, then I want to do X. I do not want to take Acid, Coke, Meth, Sherm, or Dust and "pretend" it is X.
In reality, I dont want to do any of them, so I dont anymore. Taking alot of mind/mood alterants like X or Acid is a sure way to waste some life and have a few hazy, but enjoyable memories...in my expirience.
I disagree fundamentally with most drug laws, but I have no problem with X and others being considered controlled substances. Regulation differs from prohibition. So long as people can educate themselves to the risks of usage, I will not condemn, nor condone the use.

I agree entirely.
I am against stopping other people from making an educated decision (unless it can be proven to have an adverse and non-consentual effect on other people). The keyword, ofcourse, being 'educated', which is why I am against outright bans in all contexts. I wouldn't take the stuff myself, but I won't stop someone else from doing it if I trust they know what they're doing.
