Why is "feeling normal" a legitimate pharmacological aim, but "feeling high" is not?
Because generally drugs that make you feel better than normal have enough negative physical effects to be "not worth it".

IMO they should either outlaw all the currently legal "high drugs" (tobacco, alchol, etc.) or make them all legal and tax the hell outta people that buy em so that we get some benefit from their addiction. I'd rather have drug money go to the government than to drug dealers.

You'd want to take money from a person with an illness so you can profit from their misery? That's pretty lame
The taxes I was talking about would ONLY be for the drugs that get you high and thus have addictive properties. Similar to what they are doing with cigs now. The people are going to buy these drugs either way, so wouldn't it be better for us to gain something from their addiction?
