I added medicinal drugs, the section could use a bit more info, like the dates and people involved in the discovery of penicillin and the synthesis of aspirin.  Also, what the heck are those new pain killers called?  My memory fails me... [[User:Human|Human]] 17:36, 22 April 2007 (EDT)

What was "liberal" about [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Drugs&diff=379987&oldid=266075 this] that you removed.  It looks pretty factual to me.

: It created an impression that drugs are a good thing, and in its introduction blurred the distinction between prescription medication and illegal drugs.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 07:50, 25 January 2008 (EST)

:: Well, ''some'' drugs are a good thing (taken properly).  But surely any problems in that regard could have been fixed by some rewording or rearrangement, rather than outright deletion which makes it look like there's no such thing as medicinal drugs.  [[User:Philip J.

I agree with Philip on this manner. Aren't just regular form of medicine considered drugs? We could move the entry on illegal drugs to [[illegal drugs]]. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 20:45, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Actually, I have another idea. We could put a disambiguation message at the top that says "for medicine, see [[Medicine]]." [[User:DanH|DanH]] 20:46, 25 January 2008 (EST)

We already have a page on illegal drugs.  This one should include information about other kinds of drugs. --[[User:CPAdmin1|Tim <small>(CPAdmin1)</small>]]<sup>[[User talk:CPAdmin1|talk]]</sup>  [[User:CPAdmin1/Election08|Vote for President]] 13:32, 25 January 2008 (EST)

::::Oh-- You're right, I'm sorry. It's still banned due to the [[Opium Act]]. It's tolerated in small amounts, though. [[User:Barikada|Barikada]] 20:51, 25 January 2008 (EST)

::::: The term "drugs" typically refers to things like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc., and not only is it prohibited in the [[United States]] for good reason, but possession of it is even more harshly punished in other countries, again for good reason.  Attempts to paint a different and misleading picture in this entry should not be allowed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:11, 25 January 2008 (EST)

::::::: The term "drug" has wider meaning that just the illegal ones.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 04:46, 26 January 2008 (EST)

::::::: The connection isn't obvious?  Barikada started this thread by saying, "Is the legality of marijuana in the Netherlands notable?"  The answer is, as suggested by my comment above: first talk about how it is illegal nearly everywhere else and, apparently, illegal in the Netherlands also.

:::::::: Call me old-fashioned, but I like having direct answers to my questions. In this case, a "yes" or a "no," with a citation, would have been fine. The point wasn't to discuss the legality of it anywhere else but Holland. For the sake of the article being fair and balanced -- and ''trustworthy,'' it's important to fully explain other country's stance on drugs. There are other countries beyond America.

:::::::: Alright, Aschafly... The connection between that and what you said is tenuous at best. I simply asked if it was worth noting that marijuana was tolerated in some places. Now that we've already established that my original assumption was incorrect, can we please cool it? Be cool, be calm. [[User:Barikada|Barikada]] 21:30, 25 January 2008 (EST)
