Drug use- ur opinion?

Being one whose experience with drugs has been far closer to home than anyone would appreciate, I have to say that I believe that anti-drug enforcement isn't nearly strong enough. My brother was addicted to meth a few years back. Those were the worst years of my life. Though it made me realize a lot of things about today's culture. You can't just 'talk' to your kids about drugs and expect them not to do it. If they want to, they will find a way to. Along that line, I can't tell you how many times my brother and his friends had been arrested for carrying + being under the influence of drugs. Each time, though, the crappy judicial system of this God-blessed country cut them loose with a 'warning'. Drives me mad.

I am also against alcohol because it's bad and it tastes crappy.
I'm not against cigarettes: 1. They smell fantastic, 2. They don't do crazy stuff to your head, 3. I don't smoke, but I know several people who do, so, whatever.
 
I used to be a cocaine and heroine addict, but society frowns upon that. I did it for a month every 2 hours for a month before I was in a coma and stayed in hospital for a month. Drug abuse is very stupid, I did it because people in my school convinced me to try. Never give in to pear pressure because you always have a choice.
I think the government still has a lot to do to reduce the number of drugs.
Drug abuse destroys lives.
SO DON'T DO IT!
 
Drug prohibition has FAR more costs than allowing/regulating the drugs. Unless you see mass incarceration, inability to regulate content/purity of drugs, giving drugs a kewl forbidden cachet to attract youth to them, ruining urban areas, destroying latin america's economy, people being unable to get help for addition, perpetuation of racism as good things I see no reason why you'd support drug prohibition.
 
That's right, Archon, just let everyone use what drugs they want whenever they want without any consequences whatsoever.

Mass incarcerations - for folks who use drugs, which would be a good thing. Look, drugs already have the forbidden fruit effect. Why, you ask? Because they are already illegal.

Also, if drugs were to be legalized, we would see a huge jump in crime. How many more people, then, would be able to get drugs legally, and more openly? And then how many would start turning to crime to pay for their addiction? The bottom line is that, in the long run, outlawing drugs would be incredibly good for society.

I'm sorry to say that archons concept of 'improving society' also involves mass murder of poor people and releasing rich serial killers and terrorists. [see CP thread] ¬_¬

Using drugs doesn't just affect one person. It can impact their families, their work and inspire the people who watch them do it or can be used as weapons (e.g spiked drinks). So saying "drugs should be legal because we can do what we want" is really an idiotic point.

No I don't think that prohibition of something dangerous is going to ruin people's life... if anything it's going to save lives... that's kind of obvious.

Ever thought that if drugs were legalized, more people would be needing help?


Try to actually put some thought into your posts next time.

1. How does Drug Prohibition ruin people's lives?
2. People can go into rehab centers willingly without being forced to go. So how would making drugs legal encourage them anyways? That's alot like saying we should legalize Drunk Driving because it will encourage people to not do it.

Adding to the felon population, keeping latin america poorer and more backwards than otherwise, wasting taxpayer money... the list goes on and on.

1. Adding to the felon population? More people will use drugs if they are legalized!
2. Latin America is poor because their governments are either greedy or do not have the resources to build up their economy.
3. How is keeping drugs illegal wasting taxpayer money?

Your so called causes can be caused by any number of things, and blaming them on drugs being illegal is just ignorant.
 
You and your idiotic view of criminals and justice. An increased felon population=less criminals on the street. Legallising drugs would mmean more people trying it, getting addicted and therefore spending more, so explain to me how latin america benefits from it. The rest of my post sums up how it isnt a waste of taxpayer money. My family taxes so the government can use it to benefit me, if it takes away dangerour drugs and people then its money well spent.

EDIT: Heatran beat me to it.
 
Drugs are bad!!!!!!!!!!!

Drugs are bad for you so don't abuse them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want my opinion on the matter, I have this to say.

Not implying anything here, but if anybody decides to legalize any drug, the only one I'd reccomend is Marijuana. I apologize if I'm breaking a rule by talking about the drug in particular, but it's appropriate to the topic, so I personally don't see why I can't. Marijuana is already being used for medical reasons, and it's effects are way less severe than the other questionable drugs. Sure, too much can kill you, but let's be honest here. Too much of anything can kill you, so that's not a valid arguement. If Marijuana were to be legalized, it would have to be treated with the same care and sensativity as alchohol. But due to it's reputation, it's extremely unlikely for Marijuana to be legalized, let alone any other drug.
 
Meh, I'm not really for hardcore drugs. I'll admit that I do smoke marijuana - but strictly for medical reasons. I have multiple sclerosis and I've tried every other pain killer and that was the other thing that actually helped for me. It doesn't affect me as a person, and I am not addicted to it. I don't have cravings to smoke and I only want to when the pain is intolerable. Some people may disagree with legalizing marijuana but if you were someone who had an extremely painful disease you'd probably think otherwise. Whether people decide to think of me differently because of it is their choice. I know it doesn't make me a bad person. It merely just helps with a problem that is extremely beyond my control.

This is just my two cents on the whole drug issue. The only thing I really would stand for/have a positive opinion about is marijuana. All the other drugs are just horrible in my opinion, but others may think differently.
 
Huh. The only things my friends do is weed. But I'm fine with that. I heard about shrooms and it seems that even those can be an educational experience if you know what you're doing.

This is my opinion in a nutshell. If you can grow it, it's OK.

Weed should be legalized.
 
well my clas just had a dare program and we have a graducation and here is why you shouldn't do drugs it's dangerous and you could die early dont mean to scare you but it's true marijuanna and tabacco is pretty risky to try people gets killed easly every year like about 8,000,000 people die ever year because of drugs . so if i were you i wouldnt do drugs
