Most certainly not. The government doesn't care about safety one bit.

absolutely not

in fact some of the legal stuff has been among the most dangerous in reality

on a more general question, same line of thought

are things that are 'illegal' necessarily 'un-safe'

and this is from a general populations perspective, not ours on this sweet site

i think the answer, from the average person's perspective, is also yes

wonder why this is

A lot of the general populace also tend to think that drugs are illegal because they are dangerous

I'd have to disagree there, I don't think it's really all that common for people (well, adults at least) to be completely unaware that alcohol and tobacco can kill you. The legality of alcohol does mean that I can buy a bottle of liquor that's labeled as being 40% alcohol and trust that it's not twice as strong as I think as it is or adulterated with methanol or something though. Drinking enough to kill myself is certainly still doable, but I'm a lot less likely to do so accidentally if its composition is predictable.

I doubt there are many people who think huffing glue is safe because it's legal.

in the context of drugs in particular, when you hear or are told something is 'legal', do you automatically feel or believe it must also be 'safe'? not after researching or informing yourself about it, but your first reaction

how do you think the general populace feels about this?

my initial reaction is that legal implies safe to most people, even when clearly that is not the case





It might of been a safer bet at one time, but those days are over.

Im more likely to piss myself and start crying sending barely legible texts to ex gfs before i reach the kill limit unfortunately.
