Starting with the horrific UI where you don't know which question is the answer you're reading for

this is one of the most horrible design. there's at least 10 times where I had to look more than once to actually find this button

This includes

- making donation to ukraine if you're russian

- not have your asset frozen if you protest and the canada government disagree

- protecting yourself against false accusation

- protecting again a country that would turn communist in an election (closer than you think in some european ones)

- getting an additional veil of anonymity if you have to do something illegal in your state such as abortion or defending gay rights.

so yeah this is 'against the law' but sometime the law is not on the good side.

To make money, which is by all account a measure of usefulness in society.

Using the best mind to improve trade is a good thing. Sorry if its not popular around herr but its true.

Alcohol is quite accessible to teenagers outside the US..

What do you anticipate changing if they are legalized?

People will do them thinking "if its decriminalizef they must be fine" which is not a fine mindset at all and its a good thing to fear them.

Ghb leads to memory problems, its addictive and indeed, mistakes in dosages can send you right to a heart attack..

Source : addiction happened to people i met and the HR happened in a friends party.

Alcohol brings seizures, which are considerably worse (and potentially fatal).

This is literally the first time ive heard about that. That said i do think alcohol is dangerous.

How do you intend to enforce the illegality of substances (and in a manner that will cause your children to fear possessing them) without punitive measures?

The status quo in my country is fine to me:

Drugs are easily available, fines are low (i know a ecstasy dealer who got caught in a club woth 60 pills and got 3 month of 'potential' jail time that will apply only if he gets caught again) , its badly seen by society and "forbidden".

That means not a lot of people do drugs. Motivated people can acess them, but you dont have a society of degenerate zombies. All good to me.

Is tho ? Or is it simply is way of bringing a more PC version of "drugs are not that bad" in an anti drugs crowd ?

I dont see any sort of upside in legalizing drugs at the society level considering the effects ive see on people. THATs a simple position.

From someone who has tried many drugs and met people who were in the lifestyle.. its not completely true.

Long term use of most substances ALWAYS lead to problems and even the short term there are bad trips, brain zaps that alcohol dont bring. Also even for stuff that do not lead to physical cravings such as mdma, i have seen soo many people falling into an addiction. Its not a game.

Alchol wont be banned ever, but i think is a retarded debate to say "we should decriminalize other stuff be cause alcohl is bad". This is the worse reason possible.

Im quite happy drugs are banned and not mainstream so that my children will stay away from them and maybe try later when they feel more mature.

That doesnt mean i support the american war on drugs or jailing people for 3g of cannabis.. but the decriminalization of weed is stupid to considering two of my friends who have an impaired short term memory after 1 - 2 years periods of abuse.

@Downvoters why downvote the simple truth ? Firefox is not perfect in terms of usability anyway.
