I agree with Tiara, her country's current stance on drugs seems to be partially effective compared to 100% anti-drug countries. Do you guys know that the World health organisation did extensive testing with cannibis and found it to be far less damaging than alcohol? The results were quietly swept under the carpet of course.

BTW can anyone verify the story that at one time the mafia used a U-boat to run drugs, that would be quite funny if it was true.

Yup. And I'll never say that we have the 100% fullproof solution for drugs cause it doesn't exist. Drugs are bad unless used for medical purposes. (Already in use. Cannabis is used as a painkiller in some cases)

Also, alcohol is far more damaging then drugs. If not physical, then social and in real life situations such as in traffic. When you are stoned its easier to drive then when you are drunk. Drugs are mood enhancing as where alcohol affects your physical state as well. Drugs are still not desirable mind you.

This is about SOFT drugs. Hard drugs is a totally different thing. Hence its illigal even here

[color=66ff00]Well, to us anyway. I personally have no problem with people getting out of their tree on drugs as long as everyone is happy, my friends are great believers in the fun potential of resin and we generally all have a good time. It's the only time I can beat my friend paul at soulcalibur, he's a talented bastard, I can only keep a 1:3 ratio of wins when he's straight.

Yeah, chemicals are bad for the reflexes. Either you're slow or you're twitchy, or you're more worried about the swarms of invisible bats flying around your head.

Freaky book, too. But yep. Think the cop-convention lobby scene's one of the greats in movie history, right up there with Slim Pickens riding the Bomb.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

Scientific evidence suggests canibis causes cancer, quite a high risk among other effects.

Just like cigarette smoking, last time I checked that was legal. I personally think all drugs should be legalised because you stop pushers having anything to push then you stop a lot of addicts, everything should be available for you to do, common sense would tell most people to avoid harder stuff anyways.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Hear hear.

cigarettes are far moe harmful than cannabis, only cannabis won't be legalised, as they won't be able to tax it, and so it would not profit them.

[Stryke 9]

Zeronet: Actually, the full scientific report indicates that it can be marginally less or slightly more carcinogenic than tobacco, depending on composition and type- the average joint will have a bit more tar in it than is, technically speaking, legal (duh), but homegrown and bong weed are pretty safe. And there are no other demonstrated permanent side effects than those found in pretty much any smoked compound short of freebase-type drugs, which are more boiled than smoked anyway.

... There is a difference between drugs and illigal drugs... I don't see why this is funny.

Example, alcohol and XTC...

[CP5670]

I think the joke there was about "allowing" illegal drugs, since the whole definition of an illegal drug is one that is not legal or not allowed.

[Tiara]

...

Allowing illigal drugs is perfectly normal. This is cause in the present they are still illigal, and thus you would be allowing illigal drugs. But only once they are allowed they are no longer illigal.

Ok, yeah.... whatever...

In Canada, they've pretty much legalized pot...not that I smoke it

I believe that all the druglords should be rounded up and either put in jail for who knows how long or killed.

oddly enough, thats what happened in Yugoslavia after Djindjic's death (prime minster was assasinated, remember the thread). The remaining good guys in the government went after mafia/druglords/mercenaries/Milosevic's paramilitaries (they kinda blend together at times)

the result is something like 3000 people in jail, most of the mafia gone (or in hiding) and a huge confiscation of drugs, which has led to Yugoslavia's rehab clinics to be overloaded by people suffering from withdrawl, but its a sure sign you're making a real difference. There was one guy in particular, goes by the nickname Legion (he trained in the French Foreign Legion, as did many of Yugo's mafia types). IN his mother house in the country, the police siezed a load of AKs and 16kg of heroin

I think thats a good way to go, since you can either fight them hard, or give up and let them run the country..

Now this thread has gone... wayy out of the window.

Now let´s bring it back.

Sure you can allow drugs, or not allow drugs, but the point I was trying to make, was that a gravely large number of kids/teens do drugs.

I mean, smoking isn´t legal until you turn 18. Neither is alchohol. And smoking weed is definately worse for your health (and budget) than either of them, not to mention, the so-called "illegal drugs" - amphetamine, heroine, dope, whatever the current popular slang version is, I wouldn´t know, I live in a society that considers americans violent gung-ho gangsters bent on world domination..

BZZZ! Wrong awnser. The correct awnser was:

Smoking has no age limit (My 12-year old brother smokes. Don't ask why though) and light alcoholic drinks (beer, bacardi, etc) is 16 years and older. Only the heavy drinks (10% alcohol and up is 18+ IIRC.

This is probably only for holland

[Stunaep]

and you are right.

But well, you know. Holland is a different country.
