I think that everyone, once they become old enough to drink, whatever age that is in whatever country, should be required to use every popular drug at least once. In a controlled environment, like going to a doctor appointment. One day you go and smoke pot. Weeks later you go and drop acid. Cocaine, heroin, so on. It seems like it would be beneficial. You're forced to do all other sorts of things, why not that? The older I get the more I tend to spend time with older people. And lots of people who are a lot older than me talk a lot about drugs and drug addicts yet they've never used the drugs themselves, so I always wonder if they really know what they're talking about. If you're healthy enough to use a drug, using it once won't hurt you. Does anyone else want to help me pass this enforced law? It might take some Romance out of drug use, but everyone is a cynic and finds Romanticism pretentious these days anyway.

I don't see any possible benefit of being forced to do Heroin..

i concur, but for the exception of cocain. i see no benefit in forcing people to become utter pricks, a side effect that can often last their entire lives... even predating their taking it in most cases.

It's my understanding that dropping acid (LSD) often results in unpredictable flashbacks wth no further chemical intake. (That was from an official briefing back in the 1970s, perhaps it was mythos rather than a fact.)
As for the others, the idea has some merit: good to know who the fighting drunks are, and which turn into total pricks on coke. Another benefit is that, in a controlled setting, everyone would learn that he *can* come down cold-turkey from anything... breaking the ideology of addiction.
And once the mechanics of it are properly understood, include determining if the maturing citizen is prone to cancer from tobacco smoke, so should stick to vaping.
Probability of this enlightened program: zero. It's a head-on collision between statism (you MUST try them all) and libertarianism (you MAY use any or none). You really think you're going to get a devout Muslim to drink?

Some people willingly get leprosy, what's wrong with polio? Just makes those who survived hate you. To die from cancer without chemo would be an insult to those trying to get over it. Homeless by choice is a disgusting way of life that makes people who are forced to be homeless have a harder time getting a home.
Antivaxxers and faith healers are no problem for me, why don't we pay people to live in their homes so they don't choose to do anything reckless like die

Nope, but it cuts the glare quite attractively.
I think the OP is ridiculous. Personally I enjoyed trying things but we've got plenty of laws and rules already, I have no interest in pushing anything more on people.

thankfully
i am learning
i needn't worry;
anyone that forces anything on me
is being carefully watched
by a power unimaginable,
He Who keeps a tally card
on anyone
who messes with
or harms in any way
His Daughter;
woe to them!
is all i'm gonna say.
He has the hairs on my head
well numbered
and loves me
with the greatest of care
nibbed
there's always a better reason to love

I've never had my liver removed either, but I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea.
If you're a boring kind of person and you feel like you need drugs to make you more interesting, go right ahead*. I don't feel the need, personally.
*And don't drive
It could be worse

Yeah, I've had too many friends die or screw themselves up for years to follow this plan. Living with addicts is a good substitute for showing you where the road leads.

Everybody's born into a world on drugs. You don't know what's going on until you either hit the rite nerve or the rite drug. Like Charles Milhous Manson said: That's not my generation, my generation was Perry Como and Maurice Chevalier, it's the world that layed the helter skelter on me, that was baby stuff, the kids' stuff, it was society that put the pigs out on me, spread the pigs on me. . . . I'm brand new . . . Everything I do is brand new. . . . Don't lay that old on me, man. . . . Drugs wan't my thing, man. . . . I'm all about me, my game. . . . What you think of . . . what the world thinks of me, that's some other game, man . . . that's some other me. . . . I'm brand new. . . . Everything I do is brand new.

What a fool. Murder as an answer is as old as the human race, at least.

Yeah, but poetry is also as old as the human race. It's all in the style, devices, and originality. Mmm, metaphorical murders.
Now, of you are using charles manson as a supporting basis for some secret thesis, maybe you could reconsider.
