And if they don't do them as kids, far fewer would be doing them as adults...<br /><br />Weed should definitely be legal. Period. No more dangerous than cigarettes. Free up a Lot of current crime realted activity across the board.<br /><br />Personally, I don't believe we've ever had or will have a war on drugs. It's fake, a revenue generator and a jobs program.

Fairly serious sounding drugs.<br /><br />Some people can't drink 2 beers and stay out of trouble. I remember a guy I worked with years ago getting a DWI and having to go to classes. That was the first thing they told him. Some people can drink like fish and not have a problem with the outside world, some people can't have 2 beers. He was one of the guys that couldn't have 2 beers.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-85175823020832873132012-10-15T20:00:42.942-04:002012-10-15T20:00:42.942-04:00Thanks AOWThanks AOWKidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-76377551068899907742012-10-15T04:56:10.069-04:002012-10-15T04:56:10.069-04:00Besides, now addiction is classified as an illness...Besides, now addiction is classified as an illness with a built-in relapse clause.<br /><br />Now, I've known a lot of people who have defeated their addiction and have stayed clean. But the treatment programs didn't really get these folks cleaned up. Their own determination did!<br /><br />There are more active addicts in the treatment programs than addicts trying to change their lives. Really. These active addicts are working the system: staying out of jail, keeping their jobs, etc., by dint of simply being in a treatment program. They often show up high!<br /><br />The addicts who have reformed -- at least the ones I know -- hated the treatment programs. Why? Because all that went on there was talking about drugs. Constant talk about drugs makes an addict yearn for drugs -- or so I've been told.

Smell being #1, very distinct, they'll look for physical evidence - 'roaches' in the ash tray, or reefer in the vehicle somewhere. <br /><br />Just to keep it simple, too much alcohol is the main cause of vehicle accidents. To my knowledge, most drugs don't much contribute to road accidents, exceptions for PCP and too much crack or things that put people to sleep. Can't drive when you're sleeping.<br /><br />I dunno, someone point me to an article mentioning heroine, coke, LSD, amphetamines, and other similar drugs as the cause for accidents. I don't think I've ever read such an article.<br />This is not a recommendation to do drugs and drive but statistically, alcohol is by far the number one bad boy as far as driving.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-63215361507353863232012-10-12T22:36:51.758-04:002012-10-12T22:36:51.758-04:00Kid, do they check for pot after a car accident? ...Kid, do they check for pot after a car accident?

I did more than my share of bogarting doobies during my misspent youth, and I can agree with most every point above, Kid. This is now just an issue that is so far down under the radar with me (the deficit, entitlements, the economy, Iran, terrorism, liberals running amok all much more important to deal with immediately), I can live with whatever the Zeitgeist dictates regarding drugs. <br /><br />How's that for my 'independent' point of view?Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-78003863542525605002012-10-12T09:51:40.115-04:002012-10-12T09:51:40.115-04:00Somehow I do not think you would have this attitud...Somehow I do not think you would have this attitude if one of those who snort 20lbs of cocaine everyday and drink themselves to death were driving in your neighborhood and mowed down your family members in a drug induced or booze related stupor. The collateral damage that ensues when people alter their awareness chemically is proven and splashed across the daily newspapers.<br /><br />I see the cynasism is RS's post but think his underlying anger or theme is more directed towards major cities than with the war on drugs. Perhaps the anger is even political in nature as US cities as liberal bastions?<br /><br />I think kid touched on this with his reply, but a little more deftly. Don't get me wrong, I am not being disrespectful to your remarks, I just wish that in the forum of open ideas and exchanges of thought that you let your anger out with a little more specificity because it would be much more useful and probably entertaining to get to this undercurrent of yours. I think I share your undercurrent views, if I am reading you right, about disdain for major cities like NY, Detroit, Chicago, LA, Philadelphia, etc., and their inner city socialist issues that fuel the need to be stoned, or stupid just to live and survive there as long as you can.roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948630176877454789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-21713534658487465202012-10-11T19:32:26.749-04:002012-10-11T19:32:26.749-04:00Robert, I agree with that angle too.

Whether we are talking about drugs or booze, I have no objection if people drink themselves to death, or snort twenty pounds of coke every day. In fact, I think our longer term problems would be satisfactorily resolved if the taxpayers paid for drugs and booze, delivered truckloads of that stuff to all the major cities, and tell everyone “go for it.” Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230399044647334018noreply@blogger.com
