    You should have a look at the crime stats in Portugal after they decriminalized drugs. It all went down across the board, even drug use went down as well.

    Maybe other countries have a thing or two to learn...

    I got drugged at a club a few years ago. Someone put LSD & MDMA in my drink. 15 minutes later i collapsed, hit my head, broke my jaw, and had a grand mal seizure. Woke up in a pool of blood. Now my eyes occasionally shake from a condition called nystagmus. A few days later I developed tetanus (or lockjaw), which made me have 3 more seizures.

    I'm not saying drugs are bad. I'm just sharing an experience. Just know that they can have life-altering consequences. :bash:

    Statistics dont lie
    70% of crimes are no related...
    Besides that people who consume drugs boost a crime industry that gretarei than we can imagine.
    Netfilxs Narco is a good start...

    I'm very sorry to read about your situation. Anybody who accepts a drink at a club faces the prospect of it being laced with something.

    I don't know whether drugs being legalized would make the slightest bit of difference in your case, because it could just have easily been paint thinners or arsenic that was thrown in.

    One thing I would say though. If someone wants to get their hands on drugs, they will by any means necessary. At least if they WERE legalised, you wouldn't be getting your house or car burgled to help pay for them.

    :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I believe if drugs were to be legalized then we would be able to address the true reasons that people do drugs in the first place and treat them.

    i guess you know what to do.. wear fuckin gloves when you get high??

    on another note... I did a SHAT load of drugs. became addicted to pharmies... the quicker people learn how to enjoy music sober, the better they will be... now granted, the "average" user will eventually grow out of it, but a handful will/are addicts, and this is just one more measure that may (keyword is may) help one or two of 'em... the rest will just get high at home, someone else's house, in their car, in the alley, in a field, on a roof, on a swing, on the monkey-bars, or anywhere else... and its not really gonna do that much to curb use... but I guess society has to do something, even if its results are futile.

    In many places drugs are already "legalized" by proxy. Maybe I should say drug use rather than drugs. While the drugs themselves are illegal & stiff penalties are handed down for the manufacture & distribution of such, needles are frequently distributed by governments to curb the health implications caused by junkies sharing needles. Little or nothing is done to the user, which I agree that prison is not a place for those who are hopelessly addicted unless they themselves break the law by preying on society to get the drugs. I do not however condone the police trampling on anyone's civil liberties by performing profiling or unwarranted search & seizures on people as described by the OP, that's not a fix for anything but filling their quota system, does nothing against the real problems of Cartels and the like! That behavior is a slippery slope that may have no end.
     
  11. Tobacco is the most abused drug ever, legal although it does nothing, nothing in the way of any benefit for the user. What it does do is poison the system and sickens the person using it from the very first inhalation, chew or snort. In the case of cigarettes the dose is not the cigarette itself but rather the very hit every single time it is inhaled. It causes various cancers, lung infections, poisons the bloodstream, prematurely ages the user and is a host to many other direct and indirect maladies. It is highly addictive both physically and psychologically and is purportedly actually harder to kick as heroin. The people who sell it target youth not caring one iota that it hurts them and in many cases will contribute to disabilities, disease and death. They have lied about the addictive nature and unhealthy aspects after swearing to tell the truth in front of entire nations. There is not one positive thing about it. It is darkness incarnate and is advertised as sunshine itself. Smoke if you will, sniff and chew away if you want, but if this attrocity is allowed to be business as usual nobody has any business rousting kids at a club over some xstacy or whatever it is these daze that is in favor. Instead lawmakers could secure and insure that the drugs are of quality and not adulterated with harmful combinations of other substances. They could be sold over the counter, regulated and taxed to create positive financial flows that can be reinvested towards education and saftey concerns surroundling the abuse of these drugs.
