i think before you can find out way to stop drugs you would have to figure out why people feel the need to use them now some drugs pot really arnt that bad at least not compard to booz or cigerrets my grandfather od'd on herion and i have been raised with a mother who has a bad drug problem and i know jail time and rehab does not really help anyone so i think what we are doing now is not working
There is no such thing as a drug that is not harmful. Even the ones that are available over the counter have chances of Side Effects.
Marijuana is a life choice. People enjoy getting high because it makes everything that much more enjoyable (I used to smoke, but do not so much anymore.) Marijuana is a gold mine for the government. Make pot legal to grow, sell, and smoke... just make the dealers pay taxes and get licences.
Loserib> Exactly! The best way to prevent drug-use, it to prevent the NEED. To study and investigate social or other circumstances linked. But seeing as the drug-problem is as big as always, I (and Lil Bitchiness among others) propose to legalise hard drugs, so the addicts can get them safely, cheaper and thereby reducing drug-related crime.
Cyclops> No one is claiming drugs – any drug – isn’t harmful in one way or another. But I’m sure hospital-patients in a lot of pain are happy we have opiates.
Linkalicious> You’re joking right? What does Lil Bitchiness’ spelling and grammatical errors have to do with the topic in question?

Uuum I probably was in a hurry to write it down, I apologize for the errors. Back to the topic.
Im sure that had a lot to do with what we are talking about as well.

ive been saying that for years
oh yeah you cant take the thc out of weed thats the cemichel that gets you high so if you took that out it would be kinda useless to use it any more plus i would like to know what the name of the study that said pot cueses more cancer then ciggrets i meen if that was true then why prescribe it to cancer patiants and thc cant be all that bad since in erupe right now they are testing thc inhalers for cancer cloucoma and asthma
the one thing i do disagree with the united states is all the intipot propaganda more then half the shit they say about pot smoking is not even true
In Britain, a while back, the government supervised a program in which "incurable" heroin addicts were given the drug in controlled amounts, and, because many were dealers to fund their own habit, they stopped dealing and the figure of heroin dependent people went down to about 300. as soon as the government upped its illegality and stopped this the numbers skyrocketed as the dealers went out again. however, i am not taking a pro-legal, or even semi-legal stance as described just now when talking about the context of today. there is a paradox about what the effects of a legalisation policy would be, certainly some bad aspects would decrease, but some would increase. holland does not have weed down as legal, its just incredably de-criminalised, and even they have suggested bringing it back to a more criminalised product. ineveitably taking things like heroin comes down to self-harm, to have to inject your body with chemicals to produce a responce in your brain which affects the long-term dopamine levels in your brain seems like a deeper psychological problem exists there. canabis has more carcinogens than tobacco and when they are combined, well work it out for yourself. evidence suggests that whilst it opens doors in the mind, some are doors that should be left closed. medical use is different, especially for those about to die. in the end, when there is no steadfast solution, perhaps imprisonment and rehab are the best we can offer, whilst trying to stop new addicts. we have to protect society. think of this though, even medical grade morphine can be stolen from cabinets and can be sold on the black market, whats to say even controlled legalisation can stop this demand? sorry if you disagree everyone is entitled to their opinion even if the facts suggest you need therapy. as for alcohol and tobacco? when taken responsibly, alcohol is fine, but in this culture of excess and greed this is often ignored and your liver dies. i drink, in what i like to think is a responsible way, but if it didn't exist tomorrow, i would mind too much. this is where the distinction comes for all those drug users out there, who say that it doenst rule or affect their lives, if they suddenly disappeared tomorrow, could you honestly forget them with no qualms? tobacco, can also kill pretty much instantly those with acute or chronic asthma, so it is not only the long-term effects that are dangerous. peace out

yes this is true, i read it in a couple of books for a report on marijuana i did for uni, but there's a difference in the amount of intake(don't have report with me to provide sources). 2 tokes or bong rips doesn't measure up to smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. It doesn't even measure up to smoking 1 pack of cigarettes a day.
