why is cocaine illegal again?

[Anonymous No.12030791]

It's easier to die from drinking alcohol than cocaine.
Cocaine has no hallucinogenic properties.
It's less addictive than alcohol.
Doesn't impair the brain the way alcohol does.
One of the safest drugs know to man, and easily one of the most beneficial.

Drugs are for people important enough to get away with it, anon. Not people like you.

Alcohol is very dangerous by drug standards but you're an actual retard for typing half of this shit, the reason the actual safe drugs are banned is because politicians pandering to retards spoonfed propaganda

Why is nutmeg legal!?

it has cultural significance in many cultures, so if you made it illegal you would be seen as racist. also it's useful for cooking

the main reason cocaine is illegal is because only very rich people and black people use it
very rich people can afford to hide it, and they use powder which has less penalties
black people only use crack as that's all they can afford, and there are harsher penalties
the main reason cocaine is illegal is to incarcerate black people

because social control is important. if you let every asshat in the world give themselves cancer by eating pebbles of radioactive material, everyone would suffer because the medical system would need to treat them. same with people who refuse to wear masks and cocaine users. the burden eventually falls on the system

throwing them in prison is retarded though given the high drug use and trafficking operations rampant there. It would just entice them to get even more addicted and start dealing if they weren't already

The initial reason for banning opiates was purely economical - you don't want there to be an imported good that your people are willing to pay ridiculous sums for.

Death from LSD happens through respiratory paralysis. Since 5HT2a receptors are responsible for muscle tension, at some point this tension would be too great to breathe

Plus there was lots of dodgy Mexican shit going on between the border of the US and Mexico. Linking with crime caused the ban too.
Lots of factors go into why drugs are banned but people don't think about the stuff. They also think it's racist stereotype Mexicans so you can't bring it up as an argument

Cocaine as a refined powder only came into existence because the source plant was made illegal. That very same plant was and is a cultural artifact in the americas.
Thus, your entire post is wrong.

In that case, refined sugar should be banned.

Because it is harder to stop using more and more cocaine doses than alcohol.
You will pass out from alcohol but with cocaine you will just keep on upping the doses.
