| 1204102 | 2011-05-22 02:11:00 | Seeing Piccadilly Circus station in London back in the early eighties was enough to put me off drugs. Two a week used to die from drugs there. The no school are saying, if it easy to get then we may try, but if not then we won't. Is that the case? |

You are living in a dream world making any comparison with sugar etc. I'm leaving alcohol out there. Some drugs end up making people schizophrenic in nature resulting in very unpredictable behaviour and I have seen too many lives totally F***ed up by them. |

Because they are illegal some people think of the consequences so never touch them so don't F*** up their lives. |

Yes they were, Back to when likes of heroin and cocaine were brewed up at the chemist and sold legally on the open market it resulted in a shitload of addicts and parliment stepped in the restrict thair production and sale. As for the rest, in fact just about everything in this thread, You're dreaming and ignorant. Go live the life and learn a little, then come back with what you know. |

| 1204106 | 2011-05-22 02:20:00 | I think her point was, that availability will not make us all take drugs and become addicted. So? No one said that would be the case....:rolleyes: |

Some drugs end up making people schizophrenic in nature resulting in very unpredictable behaviour and I have seen too many lives totally F***ed up by them. I wasn't referring only to drugs, just pointing out that there are many things that have a serious cost to society, and prohibition by law is not a sensible solution to any of them. A reasoned approach to regulating and moderating DEMAND, rather than moralistic, ill informed criminalisation, and hopeless (costly) attempts to stem SUPPLY, should be the response. |

| 1204108 | 2011-05-22 02:51:00 | So you think the government should become drug dealers and supply the populace with deadly poison? Or should we leave this up to the corperates? They can reap in millions, the government can tax it, The people will be hexed. (it would certainly make the tobacco industry look pretty weak and pathetic) Are you currently on drugs? Keep em illegal, those that want them have no trouble seeking them out, and those that choose to get addicted can suffer the consequences of their actions. Play with fire....... |

As for the rest, in fact just about everything in this thread, You're dreaming and ignorant. Yes, but they were being sold indiscrimiately by profiteering drug companies as 'cold remedies' and such, with no understanding or communication of the harmful or addictive qualities. "Natural" drugs, such as opium and marijuana, that have been in use for a very long time, without need for legal control, were first criminalised for political reasons, to provide a legal means to control a particular section (usually ethnic) of the population. The hysterical claims and outright lies about the effects of drugs that are used to justify the continuation of these prohibition laws do little for the intellectual reputations of their promoters. Go live the life and learn a little, then come back with what you know.Done that, let me know when you catch up. |

With the amount of drugs intercepted at the border I wouldn't call it totally hopeless. Quite frankly I have seen enough people screwing with their brains on P not to want to see any more. I have an old school friend who had an excellent job and a good life go down the drain because of drugs and I don't see the methadone treatment being all that great. |
