| studies also show that drinking heavily can cause memory problems... but that's all good, right? |

| Yeah, that shouldn't affect us until we're about 60. |

Wow, that is such a SOLIDLY thought out post, I'm completely blown away by its' disingenuousness. So, how exactly do you propose to eliminate all drugs from the planet? Oh, that's right, at the moment, it's IMPOSSIBLE. Do you think the DEA just "lets" drugs get into our country? Let me give you a hint: NO. Short of stopping trade with every other country and guarding every square inch of our coastal and land borders it is impossible to stop drug flow into any country, and that happens to include the US.
Why exactly the world would be a better place is another thing I'm quite interested in? Because the weak willed would find something else to waste their lifes away on?
As to your nice little dogmatic comment about orgasms being "better" than drugs, I ask: on what level? Are we measuring pure physical response/pleasure? If so, then I'm almost positive you are wrong. BESIDES, comparing sex and drugs is like.. comparing sex and beer. It's just not a logical comparison :) Note the saying goes "Sex, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll." For one, they aren't mutually exclusive of each other, and they are both things to be enjoyed as seperate entities.
Oh, I almost forgot your completely laudable comment about drug users being people that "can't get none." Uh-huh... I'd really like to know how you came up with that. |
uh, take it easy. anyways....
how exactly would the world (or just the US) be a safer place?
People will be testing their limits on ecstasy just like people test their limits on alchohol, and may overdose or come damn close to it. and believe me, there are tons of people who do that now illegally. do we really want more people to be exposed to drugs that may lead to a bunch of whether its depression, memory loss, penis falling off, even death?
i'm not sure if this is a valid argument, i'd like ur take on it tho. Isn't there enough violence in the drug scene, much like the daily shootouts in columbia over who owns what drug in what area and whom it belongs to. Wouldn't legalized drug use in the US, or anywhere follow? why or why not? i used to live in a pretty ty area and i remember several incidents where people were shot in the street over drug deals. no police involved, just regular GaNgStA to GaNgStA loving.
what about DUIs? Don't we already have enough people killing others while intoxicated or under the influence of a substance of alchohol or Tamogotchis? "well, i'm going to take 1 ecstasy and then i want to go visit the church and confess about the time i looked at my sisters boobs" and then, bang, a mother driving her daughter back from soccer practice and their brains all over the windshield." and it was the mother's last day before retirement.
the poor people should be looking for jobs and not leaves, so they can be just like Ja Rule and Busta Rhymes. it worked for me and my family.
btw, ur orgasms are broken |

^^You're kind of all over the place..
People are much less inclined to push boundaries if they are content within the boundaries given. The same person is going to overdose on extasy if it is legal or illegal. You can't have a blanket rule for drugs, there are too many grey areas that need attention. Like marijuana, for one, but that is a simple matter. Drugs like alcohol and cigarettes are taxible, which makes them an interest for the government.
the scenario of the mother and daughter dying because of the sketchy kid behind the wheel is a bit paranoid, and we should be more concerned with the alcohol related accidents. I've never known someone to crash on E, a bit too aware, I would think. anyways.. enough of me. |

I suggest nobody get in a discussion with djslain concerning drugs as he thinks all of his posts are high-and-mighty and correct, when they are usually quite the opposite.
By the way, djslain, you can't overdose on mdma. And people don't go around driving on ecstasy and getting in accidents. Show me a newspaper article where someone was driving a car 'impaired' by mdma that got in a fatal accident, then you might have some credibility.
Guess the government propaganda is doing a good job on you. |

I can't even begin to state how many ways what you are suggesting is wrong?
Why wouldn't companies shoot each other over drug manufacturing? You have to be ing kidding me. Maybe because there are like, laws prohibiting that sort of you know? It's not exactly like Colombia where nobody cares/can really do anything if you blast somebody and hide their corpse in the foilage. Why don't the pharmeceutical companies duke it out on corporate turf? They're making, essentially the same thing, except with endorsement of our government :)
Why would legalization increase usage? Historically it has been the EXACT OPPOSITE. Most notably prohibition... it's kind of big, you might of heard about it.
What exactly stops people from driving intoxicated on other substances right now? Oh yeah, nothing, especially considering they were already breaking the law to begin with. I for one, find it LARGELY irresponsible to drive under the influence of any drug.
I fail to see how my orgasms are in any way, shape, or function "broken" as you put it. Let me break it down for you
Serotonin "the euphoria chemical"
and it's brother
Dopamine "the aggression, and reinforcement chemical"
Sober: not a whole lot being released to maintain chemical balances in your brain.
Being intoxicated on MD* (MDMA and MDA specifically): Massive quantities of this chemical (and to a significantly lesser degree: dopamine) which is responsible for feelings of pleasure is dumped into the synapse for usage effectively depleting your supply of it.
Thats not to say it's the same visceral thrill as an orgasm. They are both very different experiences and pleasurable in their own right. Your point is so pedantic anyways I fail to see its' point. There are other aspects to drugs besides raw pleasure. |
