Clearly I'm referring to the culture of drug use that revolves around nightclubs, ie MDMA, marijuana and to a lesser extent speed. The associated social costs with these drugs is far far less than with harder drugs like heroin. |

insert tired old arguement here |
That arguement has been done to death, and it doesnt even stick. Can you die from 1 cigarette alone? or 1 drink alone? and bringing car crashes into it? wtf? You die from repeated use (or over use in alcohols case) of the above drugs, measured over decades. They arnt dangerous to the point of 1 cigarette could be laced with a lethal substance, or have too much of the drug in it, or whatever.
Seriously, think about an arguement before you try and make it.
Ive said it before, and while it wont happen, drugs should be made and distributed by the government. They control the product from creation to use, they tax the out of it, and then sell it at to the public in responsible doses. Distribution would need to be controlled somehow to make sure people dont buy too much. It would more than likely still come cheaper than the current stuff and it would eliminate any black market for it as long as the product was as good as the one of the street. Penalties for making, smuggling, and illegally distributing drugs would need to be increased to further discourage people.
Now that ive written that paragraph, im sure that people will make the correlation between the cigarette and alcohol problems we have now to the drug problems this could create. As i said distribution would somehow need to be controlled. Specifics? I dont have any, but im not john howard, and this is just tranceaddict.
Im also sure people will disagree and call me a dirty junky. I dont take drugs, but feel free to disagree all you want. |

^^ your sig + 1.
I don't encourage drug use, nor do i condone under 18's doing drugs to feel like they're part of a group/culture (which is what this post is about I think). Those who do not consider the consequences of their actions (or who can't handle the responsibility) shouldn't jump in head first.
This applies to everything, not just drgus at raves. |
