Illicit drugs

Please let me share what illicit drugs are:

Illicit drugs are substances that either stimulate (such as cocaine or amphetamines) or inhibit (such as heroin or sedative-hypnotics) the central nervous system or cause hallucinogenic effects (such as marijuana or LSD) to the effect that their use has been prohibited globally.

Yes, and we should keep it that way!!!

Wrong, illicit drugs are drugs that are illegal. Caffeine, a legal drug, is a stimulant. There are frogs that if you lick them, it will cause hallucinations. There is a mold that grows on bread that can do that too. Caused a dancing craze in Europe in the 1600s or something. Should we outlaw those things too? Heck,those drugs you mentioned that are illegal, should be legal.

I am not saying you are wrong, but should we also make sniffing glue and gasoline okay?

Is that illegal? Not saying you should do it. But do you think we should prosecute people for doing stupid things to themselves?

In America, both cocaine and amphetamine are schedule II controlled substances (i.e. not illicit). You mentioned heroin (which is illicit), but grouped it with sedative-hypnotics (which are mostly not-illicit, some aren’t even controlled substances).

So I am confused by your post. Most of the the drugs you said are illicit are in fact, licit. So now I don’t know what an illicit drug is. Can you please clarify for those of us without your incredible insight into these legal, moral, and ethical issues? Thanks in advance.

...the internet is not always right. But I am confused by what you mean by licit. Marijuana is legal in some states although it should not be. That is what I am saying. It should be illegal everywhere. But you are right about my incredible insight! Thank you very little.

You’re confused by the word licit? Here’s the definition:

Your post promised to tell us what illicit (illegal) drugs are. But then you listed a bunch of licit (legal drugs). So clearly, whatever you think is an illicit drug isn’t. Want to try again? While the internet is not always right, you should consult it anyway.

This looks like a post I might have used to answer you!

We are very confused. My point is that we should not legalize marijuana, and where it has been legalized it should be

made illegal again. No one has said anything that should make us feel differently!

I give my registered name because people have given up on it being made illegal in all 50 states again.

Well think again...this is a threat to our way of life. It might be the worst thing that has happened in the last

750 years.

There are other ways.

Why should we keep (or make) marijuana illegal, when far more dangerous drugs (amphetamine, cocaine, oxycodone) are legal? Please explain it to me.

"Why should we keep (or make) marijuana illegal, when far more dangerous drugs (amphetamine, cocaine, oxycodone) are legal? Please explain it to me."

Since you already know the answer let me just ask you to try to find your answer in your previous response.

It makes no more sense than to legalize alcohol or any other poison.

You’re my favorite troll, Kickapoo. I’m sorry nobody else care about your stupid ideas. No sense to legalize alcohol or any other poison? What if I need to kill rats? I’m going to need some poison. Should that be illegal? How about snails? Weeds?

If you got the guts, register. Your comments will mean a lot more.

Kickapoo, Can you please tell me what an illicit drug is? And maybe give me an example of one other than marijuana...

Oh, I thought you were going to share some drugs.

Not sure where you live: I just want to say that I have greatly enjoyed your use of the word 'licit.' To me, that is what this whole thread is about. You are winning the argument.

What is cocaine?

Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug made from the leaves of the coca plant native to South America. Although health care providers can use it for valid medical purposes, such as local anesthesia for some surgeries, recreational cocaine use is illegal. As a street drug, cocaine looks like a fine, white, crystal powder. Street dealers often mix it with things like cornstarch, talcum powder, or flour to increase profits. They may also mix it with other drugs such as the stimulant amphetamine, or synthetic opioids, including fentanyl. Adding synthetic opioids to cocaine is especially risky when people using cocaine don’t realize it contains this dangerous additive. Increasing numbers of overdose deaths among cocaine users might be related to this tampered cocaine.

Hate to have to spell it out for you but HEROIN and COCAINE are NOT legal!!!
