Yes, i should have known. But just as you have your pet peeves, i have mine.Canna my dear friend, You know that I am aware of the chemsitry of the various opiates. I would not have been so brief were we posting in that other place. Certainly we should ban fentanyl as it is completely synthetic - because, well, because it is synthetic. I hold that we should also ban rayon and nylon in favor of cotton and hemp and sysal, after all, if it comes out of the ground it must be clean and natural and good for us while that which mans has wrought is evil and baaad.
Oh hell yes; I'd love some K seeds! ~cackle~I have thought long and hard about the question of universal legality for all drugs. Most believe either that pot is the only drug that should be leglized for because of the mindset they have. I rarely encounter drug evangelists on the scale and level I do with pot evangelicals (no, not even the Acid fanatics). But the problem is always the same, when there is refinement of something natural, or the substance is divorced from ritual or cultural relevence it tends to cause problems. The thing is that if, oh, say opium were allowed to be used and grown in this society, someone would take the initiative and.... refine it, finally, yes they might even treat the result with acetic anhydride (if they could get their aquisition through DEA channels).
I've asked the question of hundreds - and with it I ask "well how about anabolic steroids", wherupon most of those who are in favor of releasing the ban on other illicit substances tend to balk.
Want some K seeds? I'll be glad to send some right over.
I also hope you know I don't judge a drug by its "naturalness". Irukandji toxin is 100% natural, but not a recommended buzz.
As for drug evangelists, ... if LSD were still generally available, I could see an awful lot of, uhm, visionary philosophy out there. Imo that mantle has been picked up by the DMT crowd, with McKenna and Hancock as its prophets. cn
