I think if it is only the laws that are keeping people from killing each other, we are in big trouble.

> As of 1 April, adults in Germany are allowed to carry up to 25g of dried cannabis on them and cultivate up to three marijuana plants at home.

I watched other people smoke cannabis, and after producing some foul fumes, they were just passively lying on the floor with a stare of apathy. I decided to NEVER try this, and to this day I have no regrets; I enjoy being in full control of my senses (I also do not drink alcohol and do not smoke).

Not because of the effects it has on the consumer, but because the effects it has on the producer.

In my experience in Europe, the primary roadblock is the controlling moralistic conservatism exhibited by critics like those quoted in the article.

Why not say this about something like self-harm, they might like that too. Both seem to cause damage to the self
