No real penalties for acting however offensively one wants to act?

Been attempting to deal with that at home these last three weeks.
The only problem with your suggestion re drugs are that the ones that cause these sorts of issues are very unlikely to cause expiration. (Though I have little knowledge about crack, cept that OD can cause expiration, and it's a minor issue compared to amphetamines here)

Iknow one thing for sure... while the "major drugs of adiction" are illegal and profitable for criminals they will remain plentifull as will drug associated violence.

I don't know what the answer is but having a war on drugs sure ain't.


oh oh this thread seems to be decending into something completely different.
it might even get into the orange room.

cheers

Hard to say soundman as there was a report on TV a month or so ago about ice. A doctor was saying that they wished that they could go back to drugs that were easier to to treat and the example he gave was heroin.

crystal meth' is a bastard drug all on its own.
It's effects and consequences stand alone.

But its the criminalisation of drugs that drives their development.

for instance the move from raw opium to heroin was driven by a need to make the drug more compact and easier to smuggle.

It is very hard to kill yourself with raw opium.... it is very easy to do so with heroin.

cocane isn't a particulary dangerous substance.... but the related chemicaly altered drugs and the chemicaly manufactured drugs are extreemly dangerous and unprodictable.

All not good for you or those around you but

you will never stop the drug trade or drug taking but the whole drug economy would colapse if it ceased to be profitable to trade in drugs.

anyway..... which world problem will we solve next.

On a more cheerfull note I have never met a woodie that was into anythinh harder than the odd bit of "wacy bacy"


now heres a silly thing.
the consiquences of getting caught with a quantity of chop chop (untaxed tobaco) is far worse than getting caught with a similar quantity of weed.

cheers

No it isn't, with chop chop you are stealing taxes from the govt, and the govt doesn't like you stealing, as it is competition.

Not quite sure what you are trying to say here. Virginia Tech wasn't that "peaceable", was it? I don't think arming the general population will improve social interaction, probably more the reverse.

Virginia tech was quite peaceful (better choice of word, yes) until some warped loon discovered he could wander in and have at his demented agenda with no one there able to do anything about it. And he did, quite successfully. And this type of defectioid will always seek those unable to oppose his cowardice. The don't go places where they might be stopped.

Yes, too much heroin and you just stop breathing (however, emergency wrokers giving doses of narcan are often subject to abuse afterward because the junkie wakes up and is hanging out again, "So what if I was dying, at least I wasn't hanging" , too much crystal meth or indeed any, mixed with sufficient alcohol and a persons latent violence, if they have any, comes out, along with the psychosis.
Soundman it is a bastard drug
