Sal Paradise 57 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I was going to post something similar to this, but this will suffice.Also Henry, right now I could go get high for what would amount to a couple dollars.It would cost me 5 - 10 X as much to get drunk.2 questions:how? and is it UPSable?

El Guapo 8 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 2 questions:how? and is it UPSable?A couple puffs off a joint or bong would get me high. No way that is more than a couple dollars worth of weed, yet It would take me a case of beer or a 750ML of alcohol to get drunk. Link to post Share on other sites

hblask 1 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 This logic also proves that people who eat carrots die.Ah, yes, it's just a coincidence that every single time prohibition has been tried, it has lead to vast amounts of violence and no reduction in the use of whatever is being prohibited.Did you know that socialism didn't really fail, it was just a coincidence?

The masses want Alcohol to be legal.on the flip sideThe masses want most of the other drugs to be illegal.It is still well over 50% who want pot illegal. Link to post Share on other sites

I feel that when the positive effects start to outweigh the negative effects everyone will start to come around and see that pot is nothing compared to alchohol and cigarettes. Then we will see a shift in the population that will want the same thing to happen with the other drugs. As I have stated a few other times, we need education and help for drug addicts and would be drug addicts, we don't need them to all be stuffed into jail or to try to frighten them with jail time.

hblask 1 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'd bet you have no evidence to support this.Are you asking to prove a negative? There is no evidence of drug-induced crimes in areas where drugs are legal. We have many real-world evidence, including the US before it was illegal; Portugal now, Amsterdam, and on and on.The problems causes by prohibition is always worse than the original problem. How many victims do we need piled up before we have enough evidence? Link to post Share on other sites
gobears 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Portugal legalized personal use of all drugs in 2001 including cocaine and heroin. A study put out by the Cato Institute and Glenn Greenwald (strange bedfellows indeed) showed that after five years by many metrics, it was a resounding success.I really don't see a difference between alcohol and pot in the sense why one is legal and the other is not. Tobacco is legal as well and kills more people. As for the harder drugs, I would not be in favor of legalizing them although if it put an end to the War on Drugs, I could be convinced.Time Article Link to post Share on other sites

You totally made up your comment about no one stealing cocaine when it was legal. You can't use that as an argument and then resort to claiming a negative can't be proven when you are asked to support it. I am in favor of legalizing all of these things, but if you continue to ignore the differential consequences of the varied substances you simply have your head in the sand. The behaviors that occur surrounding marijuana are completely different from the behaviors surrounding cocaine. Link to post Share on other sites
