The Drug War Had To Fail

[casavant]

Certain drugs should be legalized. I dont think that drugs like marijuana or mushrooms should be illegal, but heroin, etc. probably should. It all depends on how you look at psychoactive substances in general.

At first, I had a fairly closed mind against drugs. But I think that when most people try something like marijuana and realize that it isnt the 'killer' substance or gateway drug most have made it out to be, their stance on drugs changes. Also, becoming more educated on drugs can change your perspective. After reading through the Erowid Vaults, I've realized that most drugs arent really all that bad. Thank God whoever put up that site did, because it's probably saved many more lives than you'd think. If you want to check it out, you can here:

Right on man. I just spent the last hour and a half reading up on stuff on that site. Thanks for the link. I'm going to have to try baking soda with my adderall next time.

There is nothing more hypocritical than the War on Drugs, yet the free for all dispensing of "amphetamines" to our young. Not to mention the massive amounts of people on polypharmaceutical mixes for depressions, phobias, and whatever "mental illness" the psychiatric community creates this week.

I saw the combination that a friend was on for depression and anxiety and it far surpassed the psychoactive potential for most street drug users. This woman was on an SSRI, Xanax, Trazodone, Wellbutrin, and Provigil. She complained that she was constantly foggy headed and tired, and I was floored at this mix of shit that she was prescribed. There is no Doctor on earth that can explain what is going on in her system with this mix of shit, but they are willing to mix and match drug combos, and call it medicine.

There was a science fiction movie from the 70's/80's with Robert Duvall, called THX119 or something like that, that is very prophetic of society. In this movie, you were required to be ON drugs, and it was against the law not to be on your medications. The meds allowed the people to perform very precise work on these computer assembly lines, but they were barely human; no emotions, no independant thoughts, etc.

It was very prophetic of today's kids in school and the ADD/ADHD scams.

I think the same thing. Attention deficeit disorder, short attention spans, mood disorders, take this for that and that for this. It seems we all have 10 differant disorders nowadays. If you take anti-depressants they cause sex disorders such as no lust so your bound to get depressed from no sex- so what is the point? They will cram whatever they can down our throats if it makes the massive drug companies money.

What is the purpose of any law if they aren't enforced?



Rather silly scenario, but, you deserve punishment for willingly breaking the law.

Is the purpose of laws to enforce them?

Wodin, just saw on the other thread you're about 280. "Now this is a man who has eaten a LOT of beef" - Jimbo, South Park

Just thought I'd bump this thread instead because its a lil more meaningful.

LOL.... 2Thick, as usual is on the money.


Yeah 280 - 285 range. Depends on the time of day...

The purpose of law is to present a means to control the populace.
