Quote: It seems to me that this list should include alcohol, if it includes coffee, tea, tobacco, and cannabis...[/quote]
The author intentionally left alcohol out, as the production of alcohol involves significant (and potentially dangerous) processing. All the drugs listed are plants which require little or no processing.
Quote: J-T stands against. There has not been enough evidence to show that some of these drugs should only be classified as "Recreational". The list is far too restrictive. Many of these drugs also cause physical harm to others, especially tobacco (unless you would be restricted from smoking where others are present, which is too hard to enforce, or would ban smoking it, which doesn't seem to be the point).
This also does not legalise the sales of drugs, only the cultivation. Could this mean you can only grow your own? I don't see this happening with most consumers... and governments could still restrict access through sales bans. It "URGES" the creation of methods to legally procure them, but it doesn't demand it.[/quote]
To be clear:
The proposal forces you to legalise growing, producing, carrying, and consuming in private places.
You are still allowed to ban buying, selling, and consuming in public property. If you do ban it, then users would only be able to access self-grown products, and use them in their homes.
Quote: I feel this infringes too far on NatSov. Absolutely not supporting this.[/quote]
Undoubtedly it does.
