okay guys thanks for the input...

Pheonix you say you reach higher planes through breathing, and infact you are altering your brain waves, so what is the drieffence between lets say breathing exersises and a drug like psyclocybin amazonian mushrooms which have no long term effects (I have read the sciencetifc research on this). I know it's possible to have a bad expericne while on them (been there) but there is no build up of this chemical in your boody, no memeory loss or insanity. And why make alchohol legal? a drug very much more addictve and harmful then most phsyceldelics? alchol is addictive, destructive to the body (same as another legal drug Tabacco) and linked to most women abuse, what makes this drug so much more socially acceptabel. perhaps it makes you accepting less thoughtful and blind to the faults of those in ciontrol? (just a thought)


Bad spelling, drug use, and unneccesary conspiracy theory. Maybe if you lay off the drugs a bit, you can reach a higher g.p.a. (think of it as a higher plane...but less psychedellic).

LOL - come on. I know people who have taken drugs and are smart. Just because you take drugs doesn't mean you are dumb in school. You may not think of the long term side effects of what is occuring but you are not dumb.

I understand that people should take things seriously but going off the topic at hand and making it about spelling is just that, going off the topic.

well, we make laws on the basis of protecting others - I do not think the government has a responsibility to protect people from themselves.

Child pornography hurts the child, counterfeiting hurts the economy, as does video pirating. Drug use in your own home hurts... You. Therein lies the diference.


That depends on whether you live at home alone or not. Gets complicated. What if someone comes over to your house and you are on drugs that make you paranoid and end up killing them because you think they were breaking into your house and they were only trying to get their CD's that you borrowed from them a week ago.

I get that you think that taking drugs in your own home should be allowed but there are some black areas in that.

Here is what should occur. Drugs should be legalized. Everything. Why? So that when they sell it they can tax it. That would get it off the streets and into people's hands that can sell it to people that are legal age to take it. What is the legal age to take drugs? I would say that would depend on the drug. I would never take any drug. I function quite fine without them. But if someone else wants to screw with their life (and their life alone) then so be it. That is one less irritating person I will have to deal with if they OD. Harsh but true.

Not part of the topic but they should legalize all prostitution for people of the correct age. Tax that too. Why waste police time with this petty crap. There are more important things to go after then drug dealers and hookers. Let get the STD from the needle or hitin' the hay. Let them make those mistakes. Let them suffer for what they "want" to do. Why should I have to waite 20 minutes more minutes for a police officer when I have a robbery going on when he is dealing with some druged up slut giving pleasure in a back alley?

Designate areas for "Drug Use" "Slut Use" and so forth.

woah, if we legalize prostitution I would definately want regular std testing. It would have to be a registered and regulated service. If std's and diseases are going around, even if you don't sleep with prostitutes they may come back to haunt you someday.

If you are on drugs in your house, fine. If you are on drugs and murder someone in your house, you should get convicted. Drugs do not = murder, although they definately increase the likelihood of one. Alchohol especially - most homicides in the U.S. occur when two people are drunk, and in public, and start a fight and won't back down because of their drunken pride, so it just escalates...

Regulate, regulate, regulate. Legalize then regulate.

So what if prostitutes go around with STDs that will make people think twice about having a one night stand. "They could have slept with a prostitute that has a bad case of the clap." Well that way saying "stay a virgin and you'll live" will be coined.

From what I understand from watching a great number of people I knew in high school do a lot of drugs, a lot of them are a one-time chance thing - as in. some (or a lot) of people have some allergy or horrible reaction to a drug the first or second time they do it, and a few of them never experience anything really bad (other than the gradual decay that accompanies all drugs). But of course, none of this stuff is really known, and while drugs are illegal, there's a big chance that you'll get a different drug even if you think you're buying one that doesn't hurt you. I saw a special a little while ago on people who had been doing e for years and suddenly they died of it - turns out it was because they had been given speed instead. So if you think it's worth the risk of your life and well-being to be "cool" like everyone else, go ahead..... even if you make it past that, it's going to hurt you continually in the same way that drinking too much coffee and eating too much fat will do.

I personally think drugs should be legalized, and also that the risks are made clearer, and made clearer about the legalized drugs as well. When I was in elementary school, they taught us that marijuana was addictive and alcohol was not. When teachers lie to kids about one thing, they'll never believe anything else they tell them.

Legalize the drugs, regulate them, and tax the **** outta them. That's my philosophy. We can use the tax money to pay for their doctors when they overdose. If the OD doesn't kill them.

Legalize it and then don't care. Soon enough they will ride themselves from this world.

And let me say - Oh well.

You have to live with what you chose to do. And if they chose to live that way they get to suffer from their choices. And if they want to change and get help-if they think they have a problem-then good for them.

But I am sick of cops wasting their time trying to rid the country of a "drug problem" when it isn't the drugs that are the problem, it is the people taking them. So in order to get rid of something it is best to let them have it. Let the sniff it up their noes, inject it in their arm, swallow it, drink it, huff it, shove it, whatever they have to do and soon enough they won't be able to do it. They will either commit suicide, kill each other, kill someone, have a mass suicide, keep taking the drug and then die. All sorts of possibilities that are endless and all have a happy ending for people who are sick of the time wasted on people who are wasted anyway.

It's not just the people taking them.... it's also the black market as well, which also wouldn't exist if there was a legal market.
