To those that think drugs should be legalised just look at the consequences of alcohol having been legalised.......If that does not teach any one a lesson about drug taking then nothing will.....

LOL yet I'm more likely to end up falling over into the road after drinking alcohol than I would be after a few lines of coke ... to me it shows how little people know about drugs, because if you knew the effectiveness of certain drugs, or the lack of, then you probably wouldn't be coming out with mindless comments like that.

All drugs are abused and embedded in society and cannot be controlled. You only have to go into any nightclub anywhere in the country to see that.

I'm against the legalisation of drugs but if they were to be legalised then IMO there would still be more alcoholics than people addicted to drugs, because alcohol (and nicotine) are two of the most addictive drugs yet they are perfectly legal.

Now, throwing even more drugs into the equation, by your logic anyone who drinks tea or coffee is an idiot. Caffeine is another drug that isn't a medicine and is an addictive drug. It may cause no harm but according to your statements, anyone who goes near drugs that isn't medication is an idiot.

The governement wont ever legalise drugs, alcohol and cigarettes come from the old old days and have just stayed in society, with our health concious society these days they wont legalise something bad for us. And it is quite obvious the government is slowly banning smoking from everywhere and are trying to push it out of society.
But I really wish they would legalise some drugs for medical reasons. Old women getting arrested for having some pain relief is not fair!

I am hooked on coffee. I also smoke cannabis. I would rather go a day without cannabis. I have also never had a negative experience with either of these drugs.

Their is no logical outcome from this which reaches the conclusion of me being an idiot. Im not. If you would like to explain calmly to me how I am, then shoot. I promise to argue back my point with an open mind, unlike you.

Now grow up and stop generalising. Ignorance is a bigger killer than narcotics. Just look back through history. I use narcotics. You are ignorant. Theirs no escaping that fact. I would rather be in bed with a stoner than an ignorant person.

As to the great alcohol Vs. illicit substances argument? I say : Why keep safer drugs illegal just because alcohol has caused so much damage already? The law does more damage to your responsible cocaine snorter than the substance itself does anyway. And sticking with the cocaine example [the legalise pot lark gets old, and is overused] I have news for you .... COCAINE IS INCREDIBLY EASY TO GET A HOLD OF.

Hence, if we stick with this logic, a clean system of controlled cocaine is safer than having is illegal.

If I can get it anyway, I would rather buy it from the government than from criminal hands. Plus, it means more tax. Balla-bing balla-boom.

Also, to Fom's point, relaxed laws and medicianal cannabis being implemented in Calafornia has proved to be extremely succesful, with a lot less people in jails and virtualy no negative concequences.

Now call the Calafornian government idiots.

Drugs are pointless and wreck your body. and waste your money

a few drinks every now and again are ok for me none of it would be good for training.

Drugs are not pointless

They CLEARLY have a point or people would not spend money trying to get them...

[30stone]

Thats your opinion and unless a drug has a long term affect thats actually good, they are pointless,

hurt your body and waste your money for a couple of hours of fun...

can do that with drink and not hurt your body as much.

You've got more of a chance to be addicted to alcohol than cocaine and in the long term alcohol damages your body, so it hurts your body just as much, if more.

Just because alcohol is legal dont start thinking its safe... Why do you think there is so much debate about why drugs are illegal? Because they are less harmful than legal things!
