Morgoth, apparently you aren't educated enough to know the difference between an addict and a recreational drug user (whether it be alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or cocaine).

Yeah, cigarettes and smoking sure proves that point. And after you have made it legal, will we start seeing cocain-commercials?

There is a way to cut demand for drugs, its called education. The current drug users are a lost cause, screw them. Best to target the kids and make sure they never try it in the first place.

Do you propose Age restrictions enforceable by a law much similar to the laws you have now? Noone under the age of 18 or 21 allowed? Cause you have 12 year olds out there already in the thousands shooting Tawny port into their veins, sniffing glue and popping aspirins.

Will you increase the cost to an overburdened Health Care budget to support the increase in Drug related illnesses cause anyone can do it now, including the Cab driver who takes you to work each day and drops your kid off at school. Or will the new Law be enough to stop him?

Will the suppliers simply disappear and move out of a lucrative Gazillion dollar business cause its no fun anymore as its legal?
Where are they going to put all those resources now? Guns? White collar crime? Donations to the Girl Scout cookie raffle?

No SW. You have absolutely no clue. You pot heads think you know the Drug Culture. You think you know how these people think cause you smoke up a bowl of mull and you feel breezy and listen to your Bob Marley CD's.

Tell that to the 5 year old girl, who's mother Overdosed on pain killers last week. Who's father I arrested only yesterday in a drug induced state where he couldnt even tell me where his daughter currently was. (I found her 6 hours later in another Druggie home being looked after by a Zombie. She is now removed from that waste of space).

I've got 13 years of stories for you on why we should fight drugs at every turn. Hell I'll even renew my AH subscription for a year, not to fly but to simply ensure you and others hear the other side as often and as loudly as I can proclaim it. I may never convince you but I wont let you and others tell people who have no idea that what your advocating in any way shape or form can be a good thing.

You and others live in a fantasy world, you have ABSOLUTELY no clue and you are 100% WRONG.

This is probably the best post I have ever read on these boards!

Eagler your post has a little validity. As long as there is a price for smack, coke or whatever on the streets. They will buy it, prior to quitting. If it means breaking into stores, homes, robbing stores, muggings, etc, they will do it. They are addicts, they don't have "friends" to go to, and help them quit. For them, it is life. Getting high, that's it.

But recreational users are a different story. You will always have the low percentile from both categories that don't give a toejam and will do whatever it takes to get that next high.

doubt it, consumption too high

Lastly, why don't you smoke weed for six months <-- bet you can. You might lighten up a bit

hey baby face, I graduated in 77, spent more time in the surf than in class, cept wrestling season, my senior year - you figure it out

anyone read Huxley's Brave New World?

it'll be legal when the gov wants it to be, ie soma distribution for the numbed masses

simple question:
you think you control it or it controls you?
see if you can go just 6 weeks without, bet 95% of you screaming for its legalization can't. it controls you buckwheat, and that Cheech, ain't a good thing in the long haul

Holland - Legalized.

Belgium - Legalized.

Denmark - almost legalized, in some parts you can smoke it in the streets without any conflicts with police.

England - almost legalized, in some parts you can smoke it in the streets without any conflicts with police.

I wont name the obvious ones but wich have i missed?

Masherbrum · « **Reply #54 on:** August 01, 2002, 07:37:26 AM »

Eagler, I don't smoke it. Only did it off and on for about a year and a half. Last time was July of 95. I had smoked it on no more than 20 occasions and not much when I did.

As long as our government is pocketing the cash from drug busts and seizures. It will be money "forgotten about" and the coke smokers in Washington will have more money in their pockets. I wonder where all of that seized dope goes...Hmm.. No-one ever asks that.
