And even level 4s here which are maximum security lock down are not 23 hour. You still get open day room 3 times a day.

Decriminalize MDMA, for the greater good

[@bosseshang8479]

Isn’t mdma far more dangerous than alcohol? Seeing as it completely depletes you of your serotonin and if done a lot, can fuck your brain chemistry badly, which will what happen if mdma becomes a legal high

[@sednabold859]

@@bosseshang8479 Thing is that already happens when its illegal. If someone wants to cook their brain they could do it legally or illegally with alcohol or MD. At least if its legal they stand a chance of getting help and supply can be monitored. Furthermore, decriminalizing will allow a better study of the chemistry and it may be possible to counteract some of the side effects and minimize damage. Now MD has negative effects but the extent, duration and required dose to achieve lasting impairment is less clear, also the extent of these effects while not ideal are not debilitating with a slightly lower score than average on some memory tasks after recent or prolonged use. Now most of the fatalities associated with MD are related to them being laced and or allergic reactions, very rarely overdose. I say this because while there may be effects from MD its worth legalizing it to save lives as these things shouldn't happen in a regulated setting. Finally it is not for the state to dictate what you can do with your own body, similar to abortion rights. Part of freedom is the ability to ruin or end your own life if, how and when you choose. It is not the states' job to coddle, for 'Big Brother' to keep you completely safe from yourself by restricting your freedom. Sorry for the 'freedum' rant.

[@JAYGO305]

CIC320 terrible idea. Ecstasy is an extremely harmful drug, which has killed so many people. I always here on the news and from people around me about people dying from it. It literally chemically dissolves your brain. There are 4 people who I know who took only 1 tablet of ecstasy and nearly died. I’m sorry but legalising it will make it worse, because it’ll make people who would’ve never tried it try it because it’s now legal, and the people who did it before would carry on doing it illegally because that’s what they’re used to. I always hear people say about government regulation. Why should the government have to spend money and time regulating ecstasy just so people can get high? Plus, ecstasy is ecstasy- even with regulation it will cause harm because it will still have the chemicals in to cause it. There might be too many people doing it now, but legalising it would increase that number tremendously, with no good outcome. Finally, a lot of people use Switzerland to back up theirs point. The uk, USA, and most other countries are completely different from a place like Switzerland. I’ve seen what drugs can do to people, and legalising it would just make everything worse.
