RPN stands for 'Registered Psychiatric Nurse'.
Also, just because a drug is illegal does not mean it's harmful. Nobody has ever overdosed and died from Magic Mushrooms, for example.
In fact, I've been working in mental health and addictions for 15 years and never met anyone addicted to LSD or Mushrooms or DMT (psychedelics). It's because they aren't addictive.
Cocaine, heroin and especially meth are illegal for good reason, they ruin people's lives and can be cut with fentanyl, which has been killing people at an unprecedented rate in BC.
No offence, but I'm MUCH more knowledgeable about drugs and their effects on people than you are.
It can be frustrating when someone negatively judges someone else while at the same time working from a position of obvious ignorance.
I have only one thing to say to you.
Drugs are illegal for a reason and it is in the public interest. I do trust the experts who make them such because no offence, you are a druggy idiot, who plays Russian roulette with his mental and physical health. BTW I don't pretend to know much about drugs except I would only use them therapeutically on expert advice and not recreationally, or in believing that they led me to God LOL.
Yes, that reason is money and lobbyists. Big Pharma, tobacco, alcohol, and the privatized prisons make profits from keeping them illegal, so they spend millions (probably billions actually) lobbying to protect their interests.
"it is in the public interest"
That's only because of bad arguments and fear mongering (typically pushed by the aforementioned industries). People are at least finally coming around to weed, the majority of the US seems to be for at least decrimininalzing it.
