In 1970, Yippie/Weatherman Abbie Hoffman wrote a book called 'Steal This Book.' In it, Hoffman suggests that the best way to 'test out' a new poison, is to mix it with a small whiskey in a whiskey bottle and leave it in an area frequented by winos.

Well, it's wrong to sell the customer something that he/she might not want if they knew. Where are the consumer/homeless advocacy groups on this one?
Having said that, it devolves to a quick death vs. a slow one. |

HAH! I hope so. After seeing what coke turned a couple of people I know/knew into, they deserve what they get for putting that shit up their nose.

I think if a consenting adult wants to sniff coke, let 'em.
I know plenty of productive citizens who live in the upper-middle class who use coccaine recreationialy. No harm, no foul. For every addict who ruins their life, there are 10 people who use the drug responsibly. Sorta like guns. You never hear about the millions of people who use them right- only the handful of fools who don't. If indeed there is a rash of anthrax laced nuzzie going around, you will be suprised at all the doctors and lawyers and teachers and other "good" elements of society who will get caught up in it. Just another reason to control it's distribution instead of allowing the dust runners to control the trade in dope. |

Come back with a paralell that's legitimate, then i'll engage ya. ---Edited to add- Before you say using drugs is inherently evil like mollesting a child--- Keep in mind, most of them were made illegal in the same psuedo-puritanical era that outlawed beer. The Fat-Cats missed their beer and Gin, so they repealed the prohibition of Alcahol- but left the controls on other drugs in place. You can't have one and not have the other. |

I definitely agree with you all these people on *this* list who haven't got a clue what "Liberty" means. It chaps me off, too. Just for reference, liberty *doesn't* mean "do whatever you want". It does mean that a person in a FREE society has SOVREIGNTY over a certain area of his life -- that area which DOES not infringe on the rights of others. Ergo, if you want to do drugs -- have at, as long as you don't put others at risk (at work, driving, etc.) Also, don't force me to pay for the rehab, medical problems, etc. caused by your drug use. - CD |

ever notice the people who loudly speak out against certain things and say the only people who use them are the dregs of society, have never once tried these things themselves? Now some things I can give respect for fighting temptation and not trying, but don't tell anyone else whats best when all you know is what you've heard on cnn. I'm of course talking about gun rights here, make any analogy you wish. Someone is making a mcpoint here that certain types are unwilling to accept, or unwilling to even think about the possibilities they may be wrong, because "Hey, Nixon and Reagan said so" And I may be exactly what I just described when it comes to other points this person has tried to make but hey some people (me) just cant be changed and don't want to be. News agencies lie about other things than guns, and no matter how much you want to believe those lies does not make them so. I've done a lot of things, some in my younger years fairly extensively that others say is dangerous and will kill me or someone else (Including shooting sports) but I'm ok, never come close to hurting another or myself, the big R word comes to mind. |

For every addict who ruins their life, there are 10 people who use the drug responsibly. I agree with you 100%. First off, the "war" on drugs is a farce. It's similar to the "war" on alcohol in the 20's. It's a political move to garner support for a government industry. Alcohol is more mind altering and dangerous than cocaine could ever be. You don't hear about people getting hopped up on coke and beating their wives, wrecking their cars and wiping out entire families or otherwise being trouble for society in general. Cocaine is illegal because it allows the government machine to spend money and feed an entire industry. The war on drugs also fills a void the Cold War left upon its conclusion. I say legalize pot, coke and even X. This way you have control over distribution and you can tax the hell out of it. To legalize alcohol and not certain drugs is hypocrisy at its best... and those who buy into it are towing the party line blindly not giving any real thought to the whole scenario. Tax it and reduce my tax burden on investments and on my salary. |

Aside from all of the moral issues involved in "illegal" drug use and/or abuse, the problem is that cocaine powder would make an excellent vehicle for the dispersion of the anthrax pathogen. The problem for all of us is that cocaine use is both geographically widespread and cuts across all socioeconomic levels. Illegal drug users by their nature tend not to advertise this status, potentially leading to a large population of infected individuals who are contagious and spreading a lethal infection with a long latency period throughout a much larger portion of the population. It won't just kill the "scumbags", it would have a good chance of killing you, your family, your neighbors, anyone. It's actually a rather elegant vehicle for spreading this type of pathogen.

I feel the war on drugs is pointless. If people wish to use drugs and destroy their bodies, let them it is their own choice. All the war on drugs does is bring money to gangs and organized crime that deals it, if they were to legalize drugs and make them safer then they are now Im sure it wouldnt all seem so bad. Im not saying drugs are good, but alcohol isn't good and thats legal. I just don't think it would be very much of a difference.

Come on don't give this crap about nobody's hurt an innocent on Cocaine. About a year ago in Miami a coked-up big rig driver crashed into a car killing a newly-wed couple. Drugs are evil. The only ones that should be legal are Cannabis and maybe to a lesser extent Extacy. The people I've met who do those 2 are generally good people. How many of you realize Hitler was addicted to Methamphetamines. How many realize Bin Laden uses Heroin. Drugs have destroyed our world and we must destroy those drugs which have wreaked the Havoc. Those include:
Heroin Cocaine (Refined) Mephamphetamines Ok, that's all the drugs I can think of right now. Maybe carrots, wgun, and beer_slayer can help by listing the drugs they use. I'm sure they have to be on something to post this stuff on a public forum. |

Quoted: Come on don't give this crap about nobody's hurt an innocent on Cocaine. About a year ago in Miami a coked-up big rig driver crashed into a car killing a newly-wed couple. I never claimed someone that was stoned didn't kill someone. But you're also assuming his use of cocaine was the cause of the wreck which is an assumption. You could also claim that someone who has smoked too many cigars or cigarettes was high on nicotine when they killed a family. Drugs are evil. The only ones that should be legal are Cannabis and maybe to a lesser extent Extacy. Drugs are "evil"? Wow... is that similar to others claiming guns are "evil"? How doesn't an inanimate object become evil? So only the drugs you like should be legal but others you obviously know nothing about should be banned. What makes you think cocaine is more mind altering or debilitating than X? The people I've met who do those 2 are generally good people. Oh! So no one who has smoked pot has killed anyone... remember the Exon Valdese? "People who use pot are generally good people"... Laugh. How many of you realize Hitler was addicted to Methamphetamines. And President Reagan drank alcohol. President Bush admitted to cocaine usage... Winston Churchill drank quite frequently as well. So following your rational these leaders should be mass murders. How many realize Bin Laden uses Heroin. So that's why he did it! Wow... Ok, that's all the drugs I can think of right now. Maybe carrots, wgun, and beer_slayer can help by listing the drugs they use. I'm sure they have to be on something to post this stuff on a public forum. I never said I used any drugs on this forum.

What "mild" drugs do you mean. I am all for legalizing drugs that do not cause violence. That is why I excluded cannabis and Extacy. Cocaine at least in its refined form changes a persons nature and gives way to violence. Cocaine is by no means a recreational drug. It is very simply a junkie drug up there with Heroin and PCP. Remember what Rodney King was taking when he went ballistic on those cops in L.A. He was on PCP. In addition, even though some drugs such as LSD and Msuhrooms don't ,make you angry or violent they distort your perception of reality. Therew was an actual incident where a babysitter (hippie) took some acid and put the baby in the oven thing it was a turkey.

Ok, I'm all for someone being able to do with their body as they wish. But there will be consequences.
My remark may seem harsh but here is a small tally in my defense: The day before that post; my step niece steals 7-800 $ and goes on a crack binge before attempting suicide (w/ a gun, goddamit...). This is in Florida. Now, for some strange reason, my step-dad is going to bring her out here. I can probably count on getting robbed in the next month or so. Her sister (here in OK) was raped and murdered back in '98. My step-brother (their uncle) OD almost a year to the date later after my neice was murdered. The girl's mother is a POS (multiple felonies to prove it) who turned them onto drugs, including the needle, in the first place. She was almost killed in a violent attack earlier in the year after she ripped another POS off for drug money. I want to say my step-dad has nothing to do with this shit beyond being their relative. Good friend started messing with coke after getting hooked up with some stupid girlfriend. She tried to heart stab him with a pencil one night. Few months later, she slashed him with a knife in the face and stomach, stabbed him in the kidney. Now he wants to get back with her (WTF!!!!!!! is he thinking?) And by the way, I have nothing to do with my step family besides my stepdad unless I can help it. I could go on but that's enough for now. Sorry for the rant... |

Well, it could have far more easily been liquor, which is legal. Far more people are killed each year by drunk drivers than coked up drivers. Most drug laws as passed originally took aim at certain minority populations. Originally, pot laws were passed as an excuse to bust Mexicans in border states and send them back to Mexico (that's a whole subject in itself, we don't need an excuse to do this). Cocaine laws were passed with black Americans as the target. Legalize them and govern/tax them in the same manner as liquor is done now. . Drugs have destroyed our world and we must destroy those drugs which have wreaked the Havoc. This is EXACTLY the argument that prohibitionists used back in the '20s. Quoted: All the war on drugs does is bring money to gangs and organized crime that deals it, if they were to legalize drugs and make them safer then they are now Im sure it wouldnt all seem so bad. That is what happened back in the '20s with all the gangster thugs like Capone, et al. The 'war on liquor' is what gave organized crime such a hold in this country. A lot of illicit money was made and lot of people died in gang wars and shootouts with cops for no reason during prohibition. |

Quoted: Jarhead, Counldn't agree more about legalizing all drugs, but about the tax thing, that scares me. Gov't says all guns are ok but we are going to tax .223 and .308 more. I'm not ok with that for the same reason I'm not ok with taxing drugs, How bout just easing the tax burden period? -CK |

Well... It is refreshing to see there's a few more folks on here who have a good understanding of the complete and utter failure of Prohibition in a FREE Republic... That is of course excepting for all the folks who make they living off'n it... 'nuff to make me wanna puke... Prohibition is the Problem... Education is the Solution... db PS: Riddle me this all you beer guzzl'n constitutionalists out there... how come it took an Amendment to the Constitution to ban booze... but not for any of the 'other drugs'... funny thing how that worked... |

Quoted: Cocaine at least in its refined form changes a persons nature and gives way to violence. Cocaine is by no means a recreational drug. I would have to say this is the best evidence yet that you have absolutely [b]NO[/b] idea of what you're talking about. I remember watching movies in school that talked about the mind altering effects of pot and how dangerous "dopers" were. Uneducated, unknowledgeable people like yourself ran around telling everyone pot smokers were prone to violence and other criminal acts. Cocaine most certainly doesn't make people more aggressive, and CERTAINLY not more so than [b]alcohol[/b]. But hey, you're worried about fits of drug induced violence, eh? Ever been to a bar on Friday night? How many alcohol induced brawls are there? How many episodes of COPS have included scenes of drunken men beating their women senseless in fits of drunken rage? Why don't you ban alcohol "for the children" too? Seriously, get a freaking clue. |
