#34 - Drugs

[Andy 60]

don't have to say if you don't want to.

thought we might have a serious poll for a change. :)

[GI_Admiral 2]

What would other be?

[Drake 53]

Nope, don't intend to.

[Princess 35]

Nope, don't intend to, but I also have been exposed through my job as an RA and the smell of pot always irritates me

[Bad furday 57]

No, I'd rather blow my money on things that won't land me in prison, thanks...

(such as SW action figures, books, etc )

[GI_Admiral 2]

Would other be like Medical Marijuana?

[Andy 60]

other would be to cover any options i might have missed. :p

[Mirax 3]

You think there are regulars on this board that do drugs? Are you trying to get us introuble? ;)

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

don't ever intend to. and Mir, sometimes i think some members of this board are on drugs. ;)

[Tsl 7]

Nope, never will.

[Mirax 3]

JM, then you've never really known anyone on drugs. ;)

[TheUnknown 39]

Nope and never intend to. But I do think all drugs should be legalized as long as no one else is being harmed.

[Tsl 7]

Doing drugs doesn't only harm the person taking them.

However illegalizing causes more harm, so I agree they should be legalized.

[GI_Admiral 2]

Do you believe that all guns should be legal?

Cause that is the same route of thinking gun activists say. You make guns illegal then only criminals will get them.

[TheUnknown 39]

And so the natural response is to make them legal, which would make them cheaper and more plentiful. Because nothing beats capping people like capping people with friends. :roll:

prohibition was a great idea in principal, but it created boucoup crime, including the creation of the mafia

illegal drugs are prohibited, great idea in principal, but it created boucoup crime, including the Columbian drug lords and street gangs and aids in the spread of HIV amongst intravenous drug users

Gun control is a completely unrelated issue. I don't believe them to be comparable much at all.

Alright, first Im not for legalizing guns but this is a common arguemtn.

Drugs, they kill people, you cannot deny it. You've probably heard facts about this drug and that drug and whatnot. Same with guns.

Drugs are illegal, so it has created a big black market. If you legalize drugs, the black market stops, and after a while people will probably become more knowledgeable about drugs and death rates will lower. (however there will probably be a spike when it first turns legal)

Guns are illegal, so it has created a big black market. If you legalize all types of guns, the black market will stop, and people will probably become more knowledgeable about guns and death rates will probably lower (however there will probably be a spike when it first turns legal)

Alchohol to <21 is illegal, so it created a big underaged drinking problem. If you lower drinkin age, underage drinking will stop, and people will probably become more knowledgeable about alchohol (in part cause parents will be able to help teach kids about alcohol instead of learning it in college by themselves and peers). and death rates will go down (however there will probably be a spike when it first lowers)

All sound pretty familiar?

[Tsl 7]

Did you just argue against your own position? :???:

[GI_Admiral 2]

Yes....yes I did, Im against it, but I cant argue against that logic ...I actually dont think that we should legalize drugs, however, some are too addictive, and/or people are evil and will still use them ((such as the date rape drugs))...and im also against legalizing fully auto weapons ((though theya re now)) and stuff. I am for lowering the drinking age for more noble reasons than to get drunk ...

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

JM, then you've never really known anyone on drugs.

actually, i do. my boyfriend's brother smokes pot and who knows what else. everyone knows except his parents and i'm just waiting to have to go to another funeral in the next couple years.

[Ender 8]

Me, being on the Cincinnati rock music scene, have been offered plenty of times, but I have never and will never try any drugs.

Now, alcohol, that's another matter.... ;)

[CorSec 5]

No drugs here. Hell...I don't even do that caffiene thing :p
