I've used just about everything out there, numerous times. I've been an irresponsible drug user, I've been an addict, I've hit bottom - hard, I've walked away from addition, I've recovered and I've made my way to a responsible user.
The notion that someone cannot responsibly use drugs is inherently flawed and proven wrong on a daily basis by those of use who DO responsibly use drugs.
All drugs should be legal for all the reasons that others have posted here. It's not the government's place to tell me what I can or cannot ingest. Prohibition doesn't make a problem better, it only makes it worse. People should be responsible for their own actions, as opposed to the government being responsible for them. Etc, etc, etc.
Goddamn I love cocaine. Anywho....
Please enlighten us as to what it would do to society. I'd love to see what your crystal ball says.
*deep breath*
BUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Okay, now that I've had my daily laugh at the seemingly unending sheer ignorance Jerry has on that subject.... back on topic now.
Have you ever tried cocaine? Yes, some people can become addicted after one use, much the same as alcohol or cigs (as such, irrelevant), but most people do not. You can function perfectly fine while using cocaine too. In fact, I would challenge you to go to DC and pick out which politicians were high on cocaine at any given time. Betcha can't do it. Bet you never have been able to tell while watching them on TV, have ya?
Heroin is a different matter, though. Can't really function properly in public while high on heroin, people are going to know you're high. However, you CAN use it responsibly. Ditto for LSD, ditto for shrooms, ditto for pot.

I agree that all coffee drinkers' coffee should be laced with cyanide so we can rid ourselves of their nuisance.Cyanide, to be rid of people who need drugs to get by.
Ahh man, here we go again.
Now thats what i want to hear, Weatherman. Anybody on this forum who advocates the legalization of all drugs, have a very quetionable state of mind. Do you know what that would do to society?
Please enlighten us as to what it would do to society. I'd love to see what your crystal ball says.
What society? Because they're not legal here. You mean places where some drugs WERE decriminalized and it helped? Well yes then, I DO know what it does to society. It makes it freer and better.Do you know what it is already DOING to society?
What kind of drugs? Legal? Illegal? Just casual use, or addicts? Responsible use or irresponsible use? Are you going to enlighten us to the effects of all possible outcomes, or just the drastic extremes that fit into your small worldview on the subject?Are you all ignorant to the effects of drugs on lives, and families?
They said the same thing about those pesky anti-prohibitionists w/regard to alcohol too. I don't hold much stock in such blatantly incorrect opinions with no basis in fact.Those who advocate such legalization have serious, serious mental issues, and obviously lack much intelligence and education.
I've been addicted. I don't see it as much different.If you have ever known someone who was addicted to drugs then you'd understand that its worlds apart from silly mental addictions like shopping or television or even gambling. The difference in degree and effects on the individual are without comparison.
I completely support every person's inherent right to kill themselves any way they wish.For those who are pro-drug legalization:
Let's say there is a drug that has a 100% fatality rate. If you take it, you get temendously high, after which you always die. Obviously, since all the users are dead its use cannot be banned. My question is, would you support the legalization of the sale of this drug?
Don't mean to hijack the thread, just curious.
BUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHHAAYes, and more to the point, most prostitutes do not work in brothels, but on the street.

How does alcohol NOT get you high? That's what alcohol does, it intoxicates you, makes you stupid, takes away your inhibitions, good judgment, and motor skills. If that's not "high", then what is it?Was hoping you'd excercise your sense of humour so i wouldnt have to
Your lack of knowledge on the effects of drugs in evident in these posts. Alcohol doesnt get you high and is fine in regulated amounts. Class C drugs are fine in regulated amounts, ok. But cocaine? Heroin? I dont think you realize the harm it can do and how quickly one can become attached to it even after first time use.

Why on earth do you think it's not possible? The presumption is illogical at best. People do it all the time.You dont "regulate" Class A drugs. To take them anyway is irresponsible. To take them responsibly isnt possible.
