To many up there to quote to actually quote them.
Every aspect of the Pro-drug arguement so far in this thread is based on alcohol and Tobacco. Their legal so Cannabis should be also.
When you put all that rubbish above into that one simple sentance, does it make sense to anyone? Certainly not to me.
The Pro-Drug Hollander who says I have no idea what im talking about and I should live there before I open my mouth on the subject. Show me the evidence that says it works there? I can only find it to the contrary. Cannabis is Cannabis. Its may come in different forms and strengths but its still shares the same qualities. No different to Horses. Your women arent going to coffee shops cause the bars have drunks. Who do you expect to believe that? What a complete load of Codswallop. Their going to get stoned. No less so than any other hop head walking in their for their daily dose.
Bug is telling you that he has done it for 16 years and nothings happened to him. He wasnt tempted by harder drugs. Well, Good for you Bug. Unfortunately your story isnt shared by all who smoke dope. Children walking about like Zombies in Shopping Centres today may well be alive and mentally well in 16 years to. Would you want your child to spend their formative years bent out of shape and stoned like a moronic idiot?
Keeler wants you to read an article from CNN. CNN doesnt state in any way shape or form that they advocate drug use mind you. But because CNN report a statistical report, it must be righteous.
On that article... Tell me there isnt something a little more than bizarre about this group that thinks 3 ounces! is for personal use.
LOL. The Group NORML is a college spawned newspaper pushing their own agenda on Cannabis. I'll be blowed ! A College newspaper pushing for the legalisation of Cannabis! Now theres NEWS. Its a media spin Keeler. Dont get to excited unless the entire state of Nevada has completely lost its mind. I doubt it.
Wlfgng. There are many Pro-Drug reform groups out there pushing for the legalisation of Heroin. These groups contain good and bad elements. The mindless want it cause they like it and be damned with everyone else and the others who quite rightly perceive a need for change as the current system isnt working. The 2 groups are often intertwined and the message of the sensible workers for the cause can be blurred with the morons who fight against a system they never seemed to fit in with anyway.
The Government. Yours, mine and theirs, are always willing to throw some amount of money at Universities, Colleges, Social Welfare Groups and working committees to find answers. Give a project a name. Forecast a Report and tell them its new and someone desperate for an answer will rally to your cause.
Meth Amphet Labs can be created out in the middle of nowhere, far away from prying eyes in a section of Woodland where trespassers are rare. Meth Amphetamines are a HUGE problem.
How long before it becomes to much of a problem. How long before the cost of fighting it outweighs the stigma of social well being? Not long. Heroin is experiencing its turn at the legislation plate now. Already the wheels are in motion with certain Drug Reform groups pushing the legalised and supervised barrow.
Cannabis Reform is a process no different in form. It will be the benchmark of all the rest to follow and the EXCUSE some desire to push their own Pro-Reform agendas.
You are seeing an example of it right now. Pro-Cannabis supporters using the Alcohol Prohibition to support their arguement in almost every post. All people need is the opportunity.
SW. Man are you missing the point. Your justification against my arguement is as ludicrous as your yourself believe my arguement to be.
You mention Pharmacutical (sp?) drugs and put them alongside Cannabis stating that they are as freely available as each other.
They are when your ILLEGALLY using Pharmacutical Drugs LOL. They are for the most part prescription based. Druggies use them to bolster their own such as Methadone. One of Drug Reforms great failures in many respects. But it is a tool being abused by Addicts. Those who abuse legally prescribed and supposedly monitor Pharmacutical drug doses in prescribed medicinal quantities are Drug Addicts. Are you using them in your Legalise Cannabis agenda?
Again with Ritalin, Prozac, and the rest. Abuse them. Take them in quantities not prescribed and use them for purposes alterior to their design and YES. That is wrong. If your child requires Prescription drugs, the sane sensible and responsible Parent will ensure that they follow the instructions so their child is not placed in danger. You make it sound as if they are being handed out by Responsible parents to children like lollies or something.
Children who are addicts are no different in need than Adults who are addicts. Its a little sadder, but not different.
No you cannot take as much prozac, xanax, ritalin and pain killers, as you want it will kill you.
The most agonising Overdose death of them all can be something as simple as abusing Paracetemol. You take 40-50 tablets one day. (Thats not an overstated number by ANY means). You wake up the next morning feeling great. 2-3 days pass without any problems. You dont give a thought to the event 2-3 days ago. Next thing the intense severe abdominal cramps start and by then its to late. Complete Renal failure and death.
An example of a domestic drug in every day use which doesnt require presription that will kill you as well as any of the big boys.
Paracetamol used to be kept in the First Aid stations of workplaces of this Country for the Headache sufferers and pain relief. Now its against the law for the reason described above. The workers in blissful ignorance still argue the point cause people have no idea what is good for them half the time and what is not.
Same with the Dope User. It looks good. Its smells Good. Its everywhere so it must be good. Lets all have some.
Drug addictionexists around cubicle in every office building in the US... and that's without the illicit drugs.
And that SW. Is why I am argueing against you.
