K2 itself is not that bad people. Even when it was still legal, it was always paired with an assortment of other herbs and chemicals. That's where the dangerous element comes in.

Its extreme weather and high altitude are no joke!

The adrenaline alone could kill you!

This is exactly what I was talking about. K2 itself isn't dangerous, but the weather and adrenaline rushes that can come with it are. People associate the two because the media blames deaths and injuries on K2 itself without mentioning what actually did the crime.

Not that unbelieveable to me. There is another country that did the same thing and it worked very well.

South American country but can't think of the name right now off the top of my head.

Am I ignorant than? I thought heroin was one of the worst drugs you can get latched onto. How is it possible to kick an addiction by getting addicted to something else? It doesn't make sense.

The law thus allows the consumption of any substance (with the exception of cannabis, which now has its own rules) while penalising possession for purposes other than consumption. It does not, however, establish a legal mechanism for obtaining such substances or set maximum quantities for personal use – this is left to the judge's discretion.

It was Portugal that decriminalized all drugs back in 2001.

^That doesn't answer my question. How does it keep people from getting addicted?
