It has long been the drug of choice for committing suicide...it is easily available, and cheap. It might not kill right away, but it does kill. What I actually said was 'people do not commit a felony in order to get paracetamol'....there is a difference. All drugs(even over the counter ones) have risks attached to them. |

Some people have addictive personalities and will become addicted to almost anything....tea, coffee, mints, coca-cola........but they won't go out and mug someone, or burglarise houses to get their fix......they won't killl someone so that they can get a cup of coffee. Alcohol is different, in that it lower inhibitions and make people do things that they would not normally do. It is cheap, it is legal and it causes a heap of problems. I'm sure that if it did not bring in so much revenue for the government it would be banned or at least severely restricted.......look at what they have done with tobacco.......made smokers into pariahs, made it so that people who smoke can do so only in their own home or in a lean to on the side of a pub You are right about t he pharma companies. I have never smoked, or taken drugs...other than the occasional paracetamol........I drink very little(an odd glass of wine with a meal if we go out - and I can take it or leave it)...life gives me all the 'highs' I need. |

I would say your numbers are very skewed, seeing there are about 60,000,000 adults in the UK and only 2,000,000 have taken illegal drugs in the past twelve months. You see when you do the numbers you see that far from being dangerous, Paracetamol has a death rate of 1 in 120,000. But illegal drugs has 1 in 66,000. Almost double the number. Unfortunately you seem to be either: too thick, drugged up, insane* To see any other side to this disscussion and are hell bent on making a real ass of yourself:D *delete where appropriate |

Move on from cannabis to get a better high, same could be said for Alcohol. Those selling drugs, yeah of course they don't care, this is where better laws would help the user. Funding Criminal Activity, buying bootleg, DVD, Tobacco ect probably helps with this also. I have never worked for the NHS but agree Hard Drugs are very, very dangeress, I cannot though Include Cannabis as a hard drug. Quote:
My problem is people seem to know about drugs, but group them all under one banner. cannabis and E are completely different. |

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
the only people who want to legalise illegal drugs are the users of these illegal drugs.
There is very little validity in legalising them...unless they were given to those used them free of charge. If they are to be legalised and sold, then there is the possibility that they would attract some sort of taxation......as with tobacco......this would still lead to a black market (people will do anything to avoid taxation). I do know that cannabis has led on to the use of hard drugs(this is from my experience in the NHS). I would think that few people will go on to use alcohol to get a better high......but the reverse might be said......alcohol users may go on to try cannabis...then cocaine or heroin. People are arrogant enough to believe that they will not become addicted to these substances.......it is just sad to see how wrong they can be, and see the lives shattered by this erroneous belief. |
Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
Oh and I do know that there are different categories of drugs......and that Cannabis and E are different.......different they may be, but they still have the potential to ruin lives.

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
I don't understand the need to 'get high'.
I admit to having 'inhaled' natural 'grass' occasionally in the past. If you do, it is a temporary escape only, followed by an extreme low. If you feel the need to escape, change your life. I prefer to be calm - it costs nowt and Zen buddhism techniques show you how to get it. |
Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
I'm with you Margaret.
I can escape by reading a book, looking at my thousands of pictures, watching a film. All pleasurable pursuits that do not harm anyone, least of all myself. |
Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
Funny that, Pablo Escobar, the Coumbian drug lord. Purveyor of only the finest in cocaine etc once said the same Marg. He did not use drugs, he found better ways to enjoy life, but he certainly helped the users in Coke etc...
