When it was illegal was anyone using it a 'druggy idiot'?
And now that's it's legal are they not 'druggy idiots'?
Alcohol is legal and ruins many peoples lives.
Ever heard of a person overdosing or getting addicted to magic mushrooms?
Thinking that if something is legal or not tells you if it's harmful or not is erroneous.
15 Common Logical Fallacies
1) The Straw Man Fallacy
This fallacy occurs when your opponent over-simplifies or misrepresents your argument (i.e., setting up a "straw man") to make it easier to attack or refute. Instead of fully addressing your actual argument, speakers relying on this fallacy present a superficially similar -- but ultimately not equal -- version of your real stance, helping them create the illusion of easily defeating you.

Illegal drugs can be harmful. Making them legal does not change their effects in any way.
You're still lumping meth in with LSD just because they're both illegal, otherwise you'd be making distinctions between different drugs and classes of drugs. Like I said before, you lack even rudimentary knowledge of drugs and thus your opinion is ignorant.
That's partly why you're judgemental, because you're coming from a position of ignorance.
