Drugs

[4D]

Having an intellectual debate with someone who doesn't know the difference between your and you're...

You're argument is invalid. Educate yourself.

I know the difference,  alas I can't use my phone. Hardly intellectual, is it? Can you honestly say that there has been no ill effects or changes in your personality over time?

It is sad, but then again I'd rather people in the middle east got shitfaced than launch missiles at each other. Lesser of two evils.

Not mutually exclusive. The popular myth that drugs will make people less likely to fight holds about as much water as the concept of the war on drugs. They're often used on child soldiers to ramp up their aggression or by adult combatants to help them cope with the fighting and so be able to continue it. See the US troops in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos etc, the Soviets in Afghan. And more up to date, a lot of the anti-govt fighters in Syria (including the Islamists, bizarrely) and the Taliban in AfPak are off their swedes on combinations of speed and weed.

Can you claim the same about your alcohol/coffee/asprin use? How could you even prove that anyway?

Good thread this!

I urge everyone to watch the youtube video I posted on the previous page. The Great Depression and subsequent prohibition laws proved to us 80 years ago that prohibition does not work. Get the things that people want out of the hands of criminals.

I've seen Jayo around. He's a drug addled skank, shuffling around the mean streets of Swindon, often prostituting himself for the price of a wrap. Barely coherent most of the time, a shell of a man with most of his brain cells destroyed by illegal substances and his motor functions equally impaired.

Drugs are bad kids. Just say no.

Stick to questions 4D, not answers.

I'm not anti or pro drugs. I like a drink and I like a spliff. I've certainly got my self in more trouble when drunk rather than stoned. I do think it is a bit fucked up that I cant grow a plant in the ground, pick its bud and smoke it in the privacy of my own home but its perfectly legal to put gallons of factory made poison into my body!

Its also annoying when people give it the holier than thou shit and look down on drug users with contempt even though they have never tried it.

A massive dose of LSD would broaden your perspective on life. Or lead to crime and death or something.

I don't have a perspective on life

This is all true, but was it the drugs or is that just me? Know knows.

I'm too self-righteous to do drugs anymore. I've always absolutely loved speed though.

Are you indulging now Jayo?

Now come on, I like a nice fajita as much as the next man, but really?
