For the majority of illegal drugs, such as LSD, PCP, Heroin, Ecstasy, Cocaine, etc.... there is a REASON they are illegal. There is a REASON you are not free to buy them off the shelf at freaking Walmart. And it's the same reason you can't buy Vicodine or Novacaine, or Morphine, or anything else that is routinely PRESCRIBED.

Shit, I almost forgot my other point.
Do you notice anything about your list of illegal drugs? Ecstasy was patented in 1914 originally, by what I think was a German pharmaceutical company... you can't patent something that is found in nature, like cocaine, heroin, etc...
The drug companies dont want ANY drugs out there that they cannot make a buck off selling. It's the same reason that Ortho went fucking ballistic with developing birth control patches, birth control shots, birth control you name its when their patent on the pill ran out -- they needed something else to make up the revenue once a generic version was available and they didn't have the lock on the market any more...
