Other things that can be attributed to this are ridiculously high fines and tickets for motor vehicle violations.. Yes you can get locked up for driving with a suspended license, even if you didn't know it was suspended.. So basically getting away from the drug debate, the US has allot of ridicules laws that aren't necessary.

Because none of those things happen to people smoking pot or crack (the other two mentioned).
What does longer lasting damage to society is the War on Drugs itself though.

They're where already stats saying that the war on drugs is a waste of money. I'm trying to remember where I heard that.. But the advertiseing has a negative effect on it.. Meaning it pushes people towards drugs..Turquoise wrote:

My example of this is I have never huffed paint and I never knew how.. Untill one night I was watching TV and I caught an Anti Huffing ad.. That's where I learned how to huff paint, I still never done it but now I know how.
Your an idiot if you think crack and weed are even remotely similar. Weed does not cause you to lose awareness or act violently at all. It gives an euphoric feeling making simple colours and feelings feel enhanced.FEOS wrote:

Also, i did not make a mention of crack. I said cocain, which is not crack. Crack is a derivative of cocain and gives users a very different high. I can see why you would mix them up, so this is for your info. Crack Cocain is not cocain, it is made from cocain, just to clarify.
Have you smoked either weed or crack FEOS?? Obviously not with your statement above. But good on ya, i guess.
Thread only been up for 3 hours and 17 minutes and theres already 5 pages? Holy shit is that a record?
Good points... I would argue the best way to scare people away from drugs is show them Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream back-to-back. They'll certainly stay away from heroin after that.cpt.fass1 wrote:

Based on the 1 of 100 stat, some of you are in jail right now. Then again based on the world's population figures one of every five of you is Chinese.

Unfortunately... but I'd actually argue the War on Drugs is largely the result of criminals who WANT drugs to remain illegal so they can continue to make a huge profit margin.Kmarion wrote:

If all drugs were legal, they'd be cheap, and few people would bother selling them because of the resulting low margin. Granted, I realize we can't legalize everything.
Or tell noone about drugs.. If you don't know about it, you're never going to try it.. Like 1984 future type just wipe all drugs and smokes from books/movies/life.. Weird.Turquoise wrote:

lol... The internet is about 40% porn, so it makes sense...
If you'd add the part where you got raped in jail, I'd add that part of you choking your girlfriend. Just trying to be discrete.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

that was an insult, right. ok
Ill act mad
grrrrr.
feel better?
Well, you WERE in the shower probably getting your ass pounded. It doesn't take a genius to know your girlfriend set you up cuz you'd been cheating on him...and so you choked him..woopee.
But seriously, just face it, you made a fool of yourself. You called me a whiner, when just hours before you made that post where you're made out to be much more of a whiny bitch than I potentially was before 2000...which wouldn't matter because yes, things were better before 2000 if you're asking.
