low grade liberal propaganda. the idea the world will be a better place if we legalize herioin and improve the quality through regulation. too funny
I'm just trolling. Legalize everything, hopefully the idiots will all od and die.
Why does it say in my alerts that you quoted my post? I don't have any in this thread?
I quoted your post about sick/option days by accident in here. Went back and deleted it when I saw it. Say no to drugs
Portugal says otherwise. You get less addicts with decriminalization and more access to treatment.
Yes. And I bet you'd be surprised how many states rights people suddenly became interested in tough gun laws.
Most people who use cannabis are doing exactly this.
Above my paygrade. You don't get drunk on one or two drinks, but isn't the point of smoking a joint to get high? And in a state of intoxication don't you put yourself at risk of hurting yourself or others? As far as cigarettes go I understand that once hooked it's extremely difficult to stop smoking. But isn't it better that people never start?
At least I am consistent in this.
The intent is the same in both instances.
My wife before we got married smoked pot about 20 times a month, which she neglected to tell me. All I heard our first two years of marriage was her craving it. When she did smoke it in front of me she got very happy, to the point of being silly. She claimed before finally getting her hands on some that she was in complete control. Not so. I worked for 29 years for a company that would fire me if under the influence and at one time when they tested for such things just having it in my system. Before that I was raised in a very religious family so yes, probably pretty sheltered. It's also obvious the direction the country took when drug use became widespread. And it's also obvious that many people have been killed over the years getting that product to you, as well as those killed or who have killed others while under it's influence. Not to mention there's plenty of scientific evidence that it's harmful to both lungs and especially young, developing minds. Yet those who love it will continue to defend it. Such is life.
So in other words if it isn't what you want to hear then don't say it. Gotcha.
I think he's saying that it's ok to say the words "I don't know."
And his position is all I know is what I've seen in silly movies.
Alcohol is a drug.
A wise person at least has a clue when they speak from a position of ignorance.
Making conclusions based on one's ad hoc, life experiences is like a person declaring themselves as their own lawyer in a criminal trial.
And I'm for medicinal use. And my wife was hooked on heavy narcotics while being treated for depression. Pot makes her feel better. It's not for me but I don't deny her because I can see the difference. She doesn't smoke it now due to her job. You tend to take something you hear that doesn't jibe with your worldview and run with it because any conflict with what you want must be shot down. Life is more complicated than that. I have other relatives that struggle with drugs too and because I've never tried them I'm looked upon with suspicion and doubt and sometimes with anger. My personal theory for years is that when people get involved with something they want others around them to be involved in it too. Not being involved causes anger and lashing out, no matter what that something is. I don't go to bars because I'm uncomfortable around people getting drunk and am well aware not everyone in a bar is getting drunk. Just makes me uncomfortable. And I've had many coworkers over the years who've struggled with alcohol and some have hated me for not participating. I was raised to believe drinking was wrong, period but have had an occasional drink since my late twenties. Have never been drunk and have no desire to start. YMMV.
Doubtful in my part of the country, but who knows?
Everyone makes conclusions based on their life experiences. Some of us also out of curiosity read what's available from many sources about the effects of many different things, both positive and negative, and draw our own conclusions from that. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear.
