      The evidence is all there if you care to go and look for it. Legalisation of drugs has never done anything but harm.

        Now tax it! Why not? They tax alcohol & tobacco, so why not tax (and regulate / control the purity of) drugs as well. In fact, make teh whole lot legal, and tax 'em. The TV adverts would be interesting ... :laugh: In all seriousness, making it legal improves the quality for users and massively reduces costs for police forces who spend far, far too much time dealing with minor possession charges. And no, I don't use drugs - and haven't for twenty or more years.

        I completely agree - and have never used drugs except Paracetamol (Tylenol in the USA) and Penicillin.

          1. At the time that Christ supposedly lived, anyone who was left-handed was assumed to be evil. 2. After reading the bible from cover to cover (I really have: some fun stuff, a bit predictable in parts, should make a good series of fantasy action movies) I did not find any mention of this Christ person supporting left-handed rights or that left-handed people were not evil. How do you live with yourself having this hypocritical, lefty... should we call it "life-style"?

                    Of course. I went to 13 years public school and 6 years college. If you don't give the answer they want you get it wrong. But now you answer some. How does religion prevent free thinking? There are millions upon millions of religious people. Do you really believe that they are all brain-dead? Surely you can't be that arrogant.

                                      No, it doesn't. Christianity is not this "loving, give us a try, we're researchers" nonsense. The Christian religion is based on fairy-tales that already existed before, did things that other profets did, by a man not mentioned ANYWHERE in history except in the bible. And no, Christianity does not promote thinking; talking about some witch that walked on water. Next to that, nothing good comes out of religion. It should be banned in all forms, as the great evil that it is :thumbsup:

                                        Sorry, I don't see any. It is probably only in your head.

                                        Care to share examples? Don't show examples of people on drugs throwing up on the streets. We can see that in every country, legal or not. And remember, this is just pot. Other drugs are still illegal.

                                        Yeah, I've looked into it some more and you're right. Encouraging people to use substances that reduce your brain function, cause addiction and psychosis, and act as a gateway to harder drugs is going to have no adverse affect on society at all :rolleyes:

                                          Dont consider all drugs as the same. Alcohol was more of a problem when made illegal in the US (criminality + more people drank), but in general it is a safe drug. Dope tends to lead to neurotic behaviour in some. Coke is safe, till your heart packs in, at 60, but is fun till then (thus boosting GDP and fixing the pensions problem as well as saving the health service money in not having to treat old people). Speed is just cheap coke, and makes people lose weight (boosts the GDP, and fixes the type 2 diabetes problem and hence saving the health service money.) So yeah, some good and bad there. :)
