A Startling Assessment...

[Sailover]

Having been woken three times this week by gunfire, I do not believe more guns is the answer. There is no answer since it would mean either curbing the habit of the users or making it legal, taking away the money from the narcos.
Anytime some doped up goon tells you taking drugs is a personal choice and a victimless crime, mention the worldwide carnage in the name of their high. (of course they won't understand you, THEY ARE EFFING HIGH!)

Your goon reporting in. Of course it's a personal choice what you put in your body.Tell me who is the victim? Is there a victim when someone buys a beer?

unfortunatly in Colombia and much of latin america the bad boys and the cops have the guns, the good folks live behind iron doors and window bars.

@Rogbo,
I know that so why make it possible for the bad guys to make a lot of money and pay off the cops and other people in government? Why make the problem worst?

The huge (and always debated) difference is that beer is legal which means people aren't dying to get it to you. Of course you should be able to injest anything you want into your body, but you have to consider how that mirror full of blow got to you. It is like blood diamonds. If you KNOW someone likely spilled (or is spilling) that blood, (and they are) how can you snort without any guilt?

@ Saijover,
How can people make the problem without any quilt? By keeping drugs illegal people make the problem where is their guilt? All My blood diamonds come from The USA. No blood spilled.Why do people make the problem then piss and cry about it? No blood diamonds over beer, why? Are you for all legal drugs?

P.S. What time do you get up ? you post early.

The real reason drugs are illegal is that too many people make money keeping them illegal. Good intentions by good people being used by people that sell the substances, arrest the users, fill the courts, build the jails, staff the prisions, etc. Run them like booze, tax and have programs to warn about abuse, go after the sellers on the street and quit messing with the rights of other people to make a buck.

I don't get up, I have been up for days. Must be the, uh, glitter of the diamonds.
But as you said, you should be free to load up your body with whatever you want, and why should the government be able to tell you that while it is fine to drink yourself to death, you can't smoke a joint? Effthepoliticians.com, but this is one I can't figure out. They could not care less about the health and welfare of the public and could be making a fortune on the cocaine tax. So why don't they do it? I wonder if it just might be that the 'war on drugs' is nearly as profitable as the 'war on terror'? But that would suggest some sort of conspiracy, and as we have been told, again and again, (and again) just shut up and wave your flag.
But I have no particular opinion on any of this.

I do S O and make no bones about it, that trash should be sold in every pharmacy (Drug Store) without a prescription.....

To consenting adults, it would take the crime out of it......

Selling it to children, a Capitol offence

If an adult has no more control over their lives.... Eff 'em....
