Correct me if I'm wrong but gibrellic acids, silver thiosulfate and such don't actually count as "genetic modification", right?

Also, in my opinion this whole business of "decriminalization" over outright legalization is only serving to hurt us (both users and non-users alike). It contributes to neither public safety or issues pertaining to personal freedom nor even the mitigation of the actual negative consequences of drug use.

Decriminalization does little to nothing as it relates to addressing the vast majority of the harm most folks currently attribute to drug use but which are actually the direct result of prohibitionist policies. Through arguments for decrmininaliztion we're simply obfuscating the real issues that need to be addressed; personal freedom, health, and public safety.
