Nothing wrong with legalizing drugs, really. But it depends on the people. I live in the Netherlands and no-one here gives a flying fart about it. Some people use it, but the vast majority doesn't. Of the people who use it, only a tiny minority could be seen as junkies or addicts. But those are everywhere, all over the world. Yes we are a small country, but relatively, we have far less drugs-related problems than other countries like the US for example. That being said, I don't think Americans could handle it.

This is what I mean.  Americans are not mature when it comes to these things.  If they can't handle daily credit cards, how much more can they handle a drug that can have life changing effects?

 

But I thought you were against the government telling us how to live our lives and interfering with our lives? What about the importance of personal responsibility and pulling yourself up by your own boot straps?  The American people can build the most successful economy in the world but can't handle marijuana?

You like it when the government doesn't interfere with the economy, but you also like it when they interfere with people's lives?  Who told the government to be our daddy?  I thought you were against a "nanny" state with the government taking care of people?  So now the government has to take care of people by telling them what is wrong and right?

You would make a great politician, because nothing you say makes any sense whatsoever.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
