Drugs

Okay, so basically this thread is just for me to RANT about the current Drug system we've got in out world. Right, I like the fact that drugs such as meth, herion and crack are illegal, as that shit will fuck you. But, what about the rest?

We've got Alcohol and ciggerettes, killing thousands of people a year. Alcohol breaks apart families and is a direct fault in a big part of the worlds violence. Ciggerettes plays a huge part in the cause of cancer, as well as highly contributing to Global warming. Yet these are legal drugs? Good drugs? We've got painkillers which are highly addictive, but are legal? Good drugs? But then we have Marijuana, Extasy, LSD and Shrooms? Make you social, happy and generally have a good time. Bad drugs? What the fuck is this logic?

See, what I see rather co-incedental. Is all the LEGAL drugs, all the so-called "Good drugs" are all TAXED. Yet all the bad drugs, are not taxed? So, I think it's not about the harm it does to your body, it's the fact that they're not making money from it!

Watch this 6 minute video, it pratically explains everything I've just said, but with much more detail and humour.

^ Lolwut. ^

The only drugs that are okay in my opinion are painkillers. They may be addictive to some, but they can have good medical effects.

Marijuana might be legal one day but i'm iffy about it. If its legal everyone will be high all the fucking time . Just think about it if you replaced everyone that smoke cigarettes with weed the health risk will be less but everyone would be high.

Do you know the chemicals that are in ciggerettes? With the mass-amount of people who do smoke, just think of the impact those chemicals are going to cause.

What's wrong with everyone being high? It makes you love everyone/everything and is a very social drug...

Getting up high
Going to work high
Working all day high
Coming home high
Chilling high
Going to bed high.

I can see the problem.

Tell me what's wrong with being high though?..

I don't see a problem ... everyone will just be chill AF. Strangers having random convo's and everyone just laughing having a good time.

Exactly. That's why I don't see why everyone's like "OH NOEZ EVERYONE WILLZ BEH HAI". It would actually be a good thing, there'd be a lot less voilence and crime in the world.

In terms of Marijuana, it's due to taxation (to my knowledge). With so much illegal pot growing occurring now taxation would be impossible. In order for them to tax all marijuana they would have to shut down the illegal growers, or it wouldn't be taxed. If you could buy weed that was taxed, or weed that wasn't and at the end of the day still have legal marijuana, wouldn't you buy cheaper? I highly doubt they would be able to distinguish between legally grow and illegally grown so everyone would just purchase the illegal cheaper stuff. Therefore, making the government no money.

Cannabis is OK. They won't legalize it right now because the tax. They just don't want people to make mass amounts of money selling weed when they are stuck there selling nothing

But they would still be making money from the ton of people that would by their supply legally.

That's just as likely as being drunk all the time.

I honestly really don't like drugs, and think it's a big waste of time people should learn how to handle stress and grow a pair of balls.

Everyone would be high and have just have a good time! FUCK. Work has to be done someway or another and with drugs in the clear there would be a real issue with it getting done. If weed was legal as well as other drugs people would be driving while high and doing other dangerous shit all drugged up. Hell, I'm only in highschool and more and more idiots are getting into this shit. #We'reFucked

drugs are bad and you will be arrested
