I guess there's too many drug funded elements in government to want to legalise it.
thats a phenominal ammount of mony ...compare it with large companies inthe uk.
the fun with discussion is it gets heated ... this thread isn't even warm yet SG.
well you've either a) never seen anyone on cannabis or e b)never seen anyone on alcohol or c)both of the above, i pick c, people on cannabis and e to a degree don't fight, e is the love drug, cannabis makes you stoned and happy, people who drink at the weekend come out on the streets and are only lookin fights usually, i'd far rather live in a city where people staggered out of the pub on cannabis or e than alchos, any day of the week. i'm not being a cynical bastard, or a patronising one when i say this, i'm just saying us, drug users know what the craic is, you obviously don't and i'd advise you do get some drug education before you "challenge" us.
when you walk out of a pub, do people comin out of pubs and run up with pints and say "drink this", why do you think it's going to be any different with cannabis or ecstacy, alcohol is a drug, believe it or not, lets forget this whole issue of legality, lets look at the context, drugs, yes they all give you a different buzz, alcohol makes you lose your inhibitions, you'll talk shit, get rowdy, yes i don't mind it myself sometimes, cannabis, it's hard to describe but stoned is a good word, e's, wild jaw action, loved up feelings, yes, all different buzzes, now do i not have a right to enjoy the buzz of cannabis and ecstacy just as much as we all have the right to enjoy the buzz of alcohol, if you strip dow the whole bullshit and propaganda aobut all drugs and look at the essence of the nature of drugs, you'll agree, if you don't, well you're just another silly perosn who i have no time for, seriously, educate yourself on the matter, come back soon and we'll have a proper arguement cos yours has F-L-A-W-E-D written all over it
it's worth up to ten billion quid a year ...tax free ...in cash ...do you have any idea how big that is?
if a line of coke was available at boots ...if cannabis was available at the herbalist ...like these things used to be ..
the countrys that have relaxed their laws have found they have less trouble ...and the number of users actualy goes down ...except for canada ...where the government threw the towel in and told people they were no longrer interested in enforcing the cannabis laws.
cannabis cultivation has now been talen over by respectable families and farmers ...not a drug cartel in sight.
now canadas biggest commercial export.
i want control over these substances as opposed to the no control whatsoever in the criminal realm that the situation is in at the moment.
I admit I'm not that well-informed about drug use, but I resent being shouted down by Turlough who seems to believe that anyone who has any sorts of objections or concerns about the issue is some old style intolerant conservative.
aye dead on.........you still here????
Oh and by the way jago25_98, this was a way dead thread. Have a look at the Good Manners Guide to see what I mean.
Thats a rather circular comment - they're illegal because they're against the law.
What do you think you'd have to "deal with"?
At the moment, in some places (Brixton being one) there is a certain amount of street dealing and people offering you drugs as you walk past them. Yes, it is rather annoying and can be intimidating. But can't you see that this is a product of prohibition? When was the last time some shady character in a hooded top called out "pssst! wanna buy a nice Rioja geezer?"
