Ahh.. "may" have been better drunk or... just misserable?    maybe depressed would be good enough?   Drunks are whiners..  I enjoyed the works of both artists.. several other too of the drunk generation of writers.  I don't think that it made much difference one way or the other tho.

We do agree tho that it is not yours or mines business if people want to self medicate or even kill themselves on any drug.  It is our business when they harm others or operate machinery impaired around other people.

I will restate that I believe that there is a finite number of addicts and that we are at that number or close to it now.  It won't make much difference in the number of addicts if the stuff was free.

I could offer you all the free heroin in the world and you wouldn't use it.   I could offer you a hit of pot just before work and.. if you knew that you were likely to be drug tested and that if you were on pot.. you would be fired.. you would decline.

It is not the laws that have made for less drugs in the workplace.. it is the testing and the "zero tollerance" laws.

The pot heads and druggies here are unrealistic.. they see a world where they can go around in a stupor any time they like with no consequence.. that is not what will happen.. they will get fired or lose their license or be sued or get cut off on their welfare.   They won't be looked at as "cutting edge" or cool.

If the drugs were legal they would just be seen for the buffoons that they are.   We would be laughing at "stupid druggie tricks" instead of stupid criminal ones.

I am no enemy of legalized drugs.   I am no friend of drugs without consequence.  If they get fired or cut off welfare or whatever...  I would offer them treatment.. if they refused or failed.

I would have no problem watching them starve to death.

We have, California, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey have primary laws against cell phones while driving and Washington has a secondary law against it.  17 other states have laws prohibiting novice drivers from using cell phones.  Oh no, goodbye rights! 

Driving is a privlege, not a right.

I think Rome's problems were because they had egomaniacal fools for leaders. We're already there.

I cannot believe that nobody has posted this!  :devil

 Girls = Time x Money
                           and any good economics student will tell you
 Time = Money
                           so therefore we can assume
 Girls = Money2
                           and as has already been pointed out
 Money = √All Evil
                           therefore we can deduce
 Girls = Evil!

No, it is instead a matter of morality.

These are immoral activities that violate God's laws.  Anyone who engages in them, thus risks damnation for all of eternity.

Just look at what happened to the corrupt society of the Roman Empire.  Do you want that to happen to the USA too??

The Roman Empire lasted six or seven hundred years and only really declined after the introduction of Chrisitianity. It was doing just fine until then. If the US does as well as that you will have nothing to complain about.

I say legalise it, then tax the hell out of it. Treat it like Liquour and cigarettes. What will make not so popular will be the fact that medical insurance companies won't touch you if you partake of the drug.
