RIP, millions of people have had amongst the greatest times of their lives because of what he achieved!

It's really time to stop being silly and end the war on drugs now.

It is, although I feel for the families of people lost to chemicals, many have not died due directly to the chemical more a reaction just as a bee sting or due to not respecting them

Interesting reading his comments in the Guardian though towards people's greed in dealing. Putting crap in..... You could tell he felt strongly about that side of it. Came across as thinking there was no need to do that.

His work was always more science than commercial, although the early part of the production of these type of chemicals were funded

A vast majority of the drugs he synthesised were absolutely harmless if taken responsibly and he knew it, just as other experts like Professor Nutt would agree.

Millions of people around the world take ecstasy every weekend - the dangers come from it not being from what people think it is, the impurities from non-existent regulation and criminal dealers, rather than the MDMA itself which is essentially a non-lethal drug.

End of the war on drugs = Save lives (and a shit load of tax payers money as a bonus)

Well you could tax it, much as you should by legalizing most other substances. I think with the US analogue law it would make it difficult to now win the war and forever more there will be no control of purity and as you say this is often the cause of the trouble along with not respecting much as you have to do with alcohol.
