One they are strictly controlled in dosage and strength and two they are not mind-altering drugs in the same way that dope or lsd are. People who used dope themselves are always ready to bore on about how it never did them any harm, though how they're in a position to know, I've no idea.

No it hasn't. If any government was serious about the menace of drugs they would treat drug users as criminals not victims. Those, like me, who advocate strict enforcement do not do so because we want to fill the jails with harmless, vegetarian students. Personally I'd favour one warning, with no criminal record, for a first offender - followed by an automatic one-year jail sentence with hard labour and a criminal record, for a second offence. We do it because we want to save thousands of gullible, weak-willed teenagers from taking this dangerous muck and wrecking their brains for life, simply because it is fashionable to do so.

The existence of strict legal penalties, strictly enforced, would give them all an argument against the pressure of their friends and classmates. It hasn't been tried. It should be. It might save someone known to you from a life on the locked ward.

my god you cant be for real! i bet your such a fun fellow to be around....life of the party:)

firstly that didnt work in the usa and now they hold more prisoners then any other country..a shit load of them for drugs. prison makes most captives alot worse then when they went in.....its like crime school.locking simple drug users up is 1. a waste of money, 2. creating more hardend criminals and 3. a crual and nazi thing to do.

i will never understand what drives these so called 'drug crusaders' to ruin and interfear in peoples lifes... they should really just get on with there own lifes..........but then again i tend to find that these hardcore anti drugs nutters are middle aged/late aged ugly white folks who were probly not very populer at school and have grown bitter and resentfull of the cool kids having all the fun:)


btw bgafd love the new icons !shitstorm!

if drugs were legal then dosage and strength could be controlled:) just like it is with perscription drugs.
