Legalizing Drugs On The Horizon

This is nothing new. Fluoride had been in the water for years.

they've just made weed a class B over here in the uk, not easy to find these days...... or so im told . Weed will never be legalized it would cause more problems than it would solve.

I was contemplating getting an 8-ball of cocaine, but I have lots of errands tomorrow. Maybe this weekend.

 

[OSCORP]

Why not just get the 8 ball first and then get your errands done well before the weekend?

[DannieDarKo]

Cause I'm busy Thursday and Friday.

No time for errands those days and can't afford to hibernate all day tomorrow.

Did it have anything to do with the tobacco industry?

Actually, the begining of Marijuana's "smear campaign" was based on immigration issues.

Well before the lock arrives...
Legalizing drugs creates an idea of social acceptance, social acceptance leads to more widespread use.
The average member of the workforce doesn't need anything else to reduce their ambition and motivation.
Pot legalization = disaster.

People that let alcohol influence their work performance get fired - just as pot users would.

However the government has set up the FDA to keep the public "safe" from pharmaceuticals that haven't been proven harmless. How could heroin, meth and cocaine, which have no medicinal value at all, ever become legalized?

But pot - why not? Should legalize prostitution too and tax the ^^^^ out of both.

legalizing drugs doesn't seem the path to establishing affordable healthcare within the states... there won't be room for both.

Caffeine is a potentially harmful drug with about as much "medicinal" utility as speed (which I hear can cure migraines in a flash, and help for cram study sessions). Alcohol and tobacco aren't by any means harmless, but are drugs that we can legally use and abuse. The fact that some fairly non-medicinal, "recreational" drugs are allowed, whereas some aren't, suggests to me that the rules are pretty arbitrary.

I agree Dave...

If they legalize drugs they won't be cool anymore.

Yep - agreed 100%

Lazy people are lazy, with or without the weed. Truly motivated people remain motivated, even if they drink or smoke here and there. I know this from experience..

I know the guys at my local marijuana dispensary say they have to pay extra heavy fees & taxes to the state (though interestingly enough they don't seem to charge sales tax?).

Exactly, tax the shat out of them. People will still buy and it may even be a little cheaper too.

Me I will stick with my hand and beer.
