Colombia is considering legalizing its cocaine industry

I've watched what ten years of meth can do to a person, it's terrible, he graduated college, built and sold his first company, now he's independently wealthy, bought a house, and is starting a second company.

And I don't mean Adderall I mean meth, he has a Desoxyn prescription and it's pure meth, not the most common prescription for ADHD but perhaps it should be.

So do you think legalizing amphetamines would improve outcomes or not? I know which side of the fence I'm on.

Speaking to the choir - I have had prescriptions to both adderall and ritalin (swap back and forth every year or two) for the last 15 years, definitely helped me start a business while going to college, crank on that business insane hours for the first 7 years.

Doesn't mean I think meth, opiates, etc legalization aren't without consequences, or that they can be honestly compared to alcohol. Personally, I go back and forth on legalization, and recently voted for decriminalization of all drugs in my state. Might as well make law reflect practice.
