Just another stupid war the United States government has turned into a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Its really sad, all of these people are wasting away in prison because they like to ingest chemicals or sell chemicals to enhance someones experience.

I agree there should be laws for drugs, if someones making meth in their bathtub and fucking people up, they need to be stopped, but if someone gets arrested for growing marijuana, they might NOT need to go jail for the next 25 years, but I also feel that the illegality makes people be more careful and private. So that should be a law. You are not allowed to use drugs in public.

The truth is, the DEA, the FBI, the CIA. They are all involved in the illegal drug trade. They sell drugs and they arrest people for drugs. So they make money and get information by being the drug dealers. Then they turn around and arrest people for drugs and make money on the penal system.

Its all a crooked, backwards, fucked up "game", but its not a game when you get caught. After you get caught, games over.

Oh yeah, we're not supposed to talk about it, that another part of the game, you cant tell people the truth. You cant tell and just dont get caught. Its not a big deal to some people until they get arrested and locked up.

I am definetely for the reform of drug laws. Mind altering chemicals are very powerful and if misused or abused, can damage someone instead of helping them. I want people to have a good experience and know what they are doing and why they are doing it, in a good environment around good people.

Thats really were the problem comes from sometimes. Young kids, teenagers, get ahold of something and they dont know what they are doing. They are not developed psychologically. They are in an uncomfortable environment around the wrong people, or there are parents and possibly cops being called, they get paranoid and end up flipping out or getting arrested or thrown into rehab or a mental institution.

Thats how people get messed up. Its not the chemicals, its who they were around and the environment they were in, something that happened to them during the experience.

I honestly dont want to influence anyone to use or not use drugs, so I guess I'll be quiet now.

I agree with most of your post. However, I do have a few points I'd like to make. First, you said you think it should be illegal to do them in public...which is sorta disagree with. I think they should be treated as alcohol is...there are specific places that sell, and allow you to consume responsibly, in a safe environment. Much like hash bars in Amsterdam. And that's it I guess lol.

I do want to influence people to use "drugs". I guess that's another difference we have. Not drugs like heroin and meth, but marijuana and psilocybin. "Drugs" that I feel where put here on purpose to help us.

Good point with the government playing both sides...a reoccurring theme in US history. And also good point with the environment. That can completely change your experience for better or worse. It also helps to be able to control you're emotions, and there fore, control your trip.


I hope no one posts here saying they are not drug users, because I bet they don't even realize the amount of drugs they regularly consume.

Yeah, I hear ya....

I dont think people should be allowed to drink alcohol in public. There would be less drunk drivers, less people killed by drunk drivers, less drunk drivers killed, less unwanted pregnancys and abortions, less fights, less arrests. And anyone who has ever been the designated driver for a bunch of drunken idiots can bare witness to how stupid drunk people can be, especially when they all get together in public.

O.k., I really dont care if people drink in public (in bars or restaurants), that was just, another point of view but.....then I find beer cans on the beach and it goes back to what I was saying about cigarette butts. If people can not be responsible enough to pick up their beer cans and their cigarette butts, then they should not be allowed to do these things in public, or they should be fined. $500 for littering.

I think that one of the reasons marijuana is illegal, is because there are quite a few people who smoke pot, who are very proud of the fact that they smoke pot, and they want to, liberate themselves. They want to walk down the street smoking a joint, then before you know it, every pothead in America is walking around smoking weed, not being as careful smoking a bowl in the car, because now its legal to do in public, but if there was a law that said, if your going to smoke pot, you have to do it in a private residence or on private property out of public view, then people would have to be more careful.

Because before you know it, now people are wanting to shoot up heroin in front of daycares.

But...this is coming from someone who likes to do coke around babies. God, I dont know what it is about cocaine and babies. They just make me happy (both).

Let them post, they will simply reinforce our own beliefs. Besides, we need a conflicting view point to attack and discredit.

we spend way to much money on stupid things than using it on smart things. that money as i have said before could go towards education, homeless and countless other things.

i'll admit it, i am a regular user of marijuana. and in my six years of smoking pot i have never gotten into any trouble. in the same time frame i have also been drinking beer. now less than before and i hardly ever touch a beer can because i have gotten into trouble while drinking beer.

so lets review again. pot smoker for 6 years nothing. beer drinker for 6 years. MIP(minor in position), had to go to court, probation. picking up a prostitute. (if you guys wanna know more about it tell me and i'll explain my story). cops thinking i was trying to rob a pharmacy store. crashed into a baricade.

i think pot should be legal. as it is only a plant. you dont need special mixtures or chemicals mixed with it to feel the effects like you would with cocaine and meth. so you telling me a plant is illegal!!!!

BTW sorry for the very long break. been busy.

Welcome back. I have noticed the absence of Megan Fox's hotness, so that's always a welcoming sight.

And I agree with your post. Don't you find it ironic that the only drugs that are legal are the ones that are most destructive to you're body? And the ones that are illegal and don't have PSA's about them (such as cocaine and heroin) are the ones that the US government has their hands in the pocket of?


Food for thought.
