Gimmie a break, that's such a bleeding heart answer! Their was a newsreport on
some such network about a year or two ago about a european country (I forget
which) that had a city that created a single area where drugs were 100% legal.
And what they ended up with was a slummy section of the city that had syringes
littered all over the place and a continual infestation of scum, bums, and
assholes pumping their veins full of drug crap!
Making drugs legal wont do shit, it will just increase the problem! Instead of
having many idiots and assholes using drugs and causing crime to get money to
buy drugs, we'd have 10 times that many people doing the same thing they
did before! Only now more and more people would be doing it because it would
be legal! At least when it's illegal we can stick the fuckers in prison! It's
too bad we can't leave them in their!
It's jerks like you who insist on prisoners having "rights" when they
forfited any and all rights when they were convicted of commiting a crime!

The city of which you speak is Amsterdam. The problems that they encountered
were, if I remember correctly, from the free distribution of Heroin. If you
knew anything about the city in question, you would know that while their illicit drug laws parallel those of the US and others, they practice almost no
enforcement of these laws. In this sense, Heroin was already operativley
"legal" in Amsterdam. Their problem arose through the free distribution of
injectables and syringes to the populace. It stands to reason that if one
centralizes the use of Heroin, or any other drug, the point of centralization
will become characteristic of that drug's use.

This sounds really good when said slowly in a William S. Burroughs voice.
It's a little unrealistic, however; if my experience is meaningful, not
too many scums or bums (assholes, I dunno) would pump joints into their
veins after the first couple tries. You don't get that high, and it
really smarts.

No shit, asshole. Are you really this stupid? Unbelievable.
How does someone with such a complete lack of brains learn
to use a computer?
"Legal to sell and use in this one little park here" is
not even close to "legal and regulated throughout
society". Even an idiot (ie, someone a few dozen IQ
points above VAXBANDIT the wondercabbage there) can
tell you that if you pack all the hardcore drug users
into "a single area" the size of a city park you'll
end up with a crappy situation. That's not the issue.
VAX, you brainless simpering moron, if you can't think
through something that simple do the rest of us a
favor and cut off your dick before you reproduce.

... because they ghetto-ized the drug problem. Use your brain. Less than

can't expect to get good results with a piddly little ``experiment'' like
that. Legalization must be implemented on a large scale and supplemented by
appropriate health care and social counselling.

Oh it isn't? you mean to tell me the repurcusions of what will happen when an
entire country will go to pot from the legalization of drugs isn't the issue?
NOW who is the moron butthead!? Also I'm obviously the only one between us with
a fuctioning brain because if you use that empty drugged noggen of yours you'd
relize that if you compare the number of drug users in a european country to
the number of users in the US that the U.S. has a shitload more drug-idiots like
your self! That means that urban junk yards like those in the New York area,
Los Angeles, etc etc etc will be far worse off than some piece of shit park!
Yes maybe they will be more wide-spread than the park... but that's even
worse you stupid asshole!!! Stop smokeing crack and use your brain for once!

Reality Check!!! Think about the U.S. justice system and U.S. laws
in general... EVERYONE IS A CRIMINAL, and by your statement the entire
U.S. should be in an internment camp
The system is rigged so that the average person breaks the law all
the time, regardless of whether it is speeding, drug use, playing poker,
having homosexual intercourse, signing your checks in pencil and so
forth... It is not like the U.S. has a distint class of crimials, it is
just that the government targets out those law breakers in the general
public that they don't like and harrass them

This is a classic. I laughed my ass off when I read this line. Obviously
VAXBANDIT (nice name, you've definitely convinced me you're cool), is a master
of subtle double meaning. I personally would be interested to see what would
happen if the country "went to pot"; especially if it meant getting away from
alcohol.

Ahhh, now it becomes clear. Whenever someone goes spouting off about "morals",
it is always because they are pissed off that the rest of the world won't
accept their personal definition of right and wrong.
Some people may hate you for the crap you're posting here, but I pity you.

This doesn't logically follow. That very local policy of legalization
created a massive influx of addicts from the surrounding areas in
Europe. It did not create any addicts it just changed how they were
distributed. Legalization on a nationwide or continentwide scale would
not encounter a problem of this magnitude.
>Instead of
>having many idiots and assholes using drugs and causing crime to get money to

>did before!
Unlikely. Assuming that everyone who drinks took up smoking pot and adding
in a little fudge factor the worst case scenario would be 3 times that
many people doing the same thing they did before. Meanwhile, national
policy towards treating substance abuse would be shifted from an
utterly useless policy of incarceration to a policy of research and
treatment on demand. Any coneivable short term detrimental effect would
be attenuated by these other factors, which also have the potential to
increase in the long term future due to research -- a potential which
law enforcement completely lacks.
>Only now more and more people would be doing it because it would

>too bad we can't leave them in their!
Oh yeah, thats a good solution. Place them into prison, create broken
families, exacerbate their personal problems, pay for their incarceration
and place them into an environment where drugs are just as available along
with a criminal subculture for them to learn from. It seems that the negative
effects of incarceration seem to be almost identical to the claimed
negative effects of drugs. How surprising that the cure is as bad
as the disease.
>It's jerks like you who insist on prisoners having "rights" when they
>forfited any and all rights when they were convicted of commiting a crime!
No one has any "rights" at all. The problem is mindless assholes like
yourself who seem to believe that hard-handed criminal justice solutions
to problems have no consequences. Unfortunately in reality you can't "wish
away" social problems by throwing people in jail.

I know a city where drugs are 100% illegal and you'll find the same
problems in many sections. It's called New York. But in addition to
having syringes all over the ground, and people shooting up everywhere,
you also hear gunfire in the background. You have kids who are forced
into trying crack so a dealer can have another customer. And you have a
new line of criminals who went to jail for using drugs, and came out
knowing alot about other *real* crimes.
>Making drugs legal wont do shit, it will just increase the problem!
What problem is that? The problem of all these people breaking the law?

Right, just like we had ten times the number of alcoholics right after
alcohol prohibition. And do you really think that those who presently
use drugs in the inner cities are going to be using that much more if
they were legalized? I'm trying to understand how can imply that crime
will go up to support drug-habits. The black market is notorius for
inflating prices. A gram of weed in NY is the same price as a pound of
weed in columbia. Also, maybe now these 'criminals' can get jobs without
having to worry about drug-testing. Oh no, companies will have to hire a
person based on merit, rather than on what they do on their off-hours.
That's horrible! Perhaps you're right, we should stick 'em in prison and
leave them there. However, I'm sending the bill to you because I
certainly don't want to pay to put harmless people in jail.
>It's jerks like you who insist on prisoners having "rights" when they

And it's jerks like you who are completely fucking up this country with

Gee, sounds suspiciously like any donwtown area of a large US city.
I certainly don't advocate drug use or abuse, and I do believe that
people, in general, are too stupid to know what's good for them. However,
it is not your right to advise/tell me what drugs I should/can use. It is
the right of the individual to fry his brain. If he fries somebody else
while frying his brain, it is entirely different matter; but until he
impairs the freedom of another, the individual may dispose of himself as
he wishes.
This is unmistakably evidenced by the fact that people do use drugs
despite the fact that the law prohibits it.
Also, anyone who needs the law to prevent them from using drugs is too
weak to be worth consideration anyway.

They get all these little stupid ass perks that make their lives easier while

facilities prisons should have nothing else. It's outragious how much money
is spent on prisons because people believe prisoners "have rights" and they
are still citizens...
How about some of those jerks who run those extensive credit card fraud rings?
some of them do it *from prison* and how? by using a goddamn phone! Why the hell
is a prisoner given access to a fucking phone?! Who is he going to need to call?
I see absolutly no reason why a prisoner needs access to the outside world. Let

What's really sad is that more attention has been paid to this young man
in the week and a half since his death than was ever paid to him during
his career.
Sad that an actor who took such obvious care in finding the right roles,
and not just jumping aboard any two-bit piece of garbage that would have
made him millions in merchandising royalties never got the acclaim he
deserved, aside from positive reviews and an Oscar nomination.
Apparently, it's better to either (a) act in a Spielberg blockbuster, or
(b) behave outrageously and get your face all over the tabloids next to
Burt, Whoopi, and Shannen, than to try to be a serious actor and make a
career out of your talents.

Educate them. The way to prevent people from doing something is to
convince them not to do it. Few people find force convincing and it
usually just leads to an escalation. Observe the weaponry used by those
you propose to rule by force. They don't look too scared.

So don't let your kids smoke dope until they're 21. Problem solved.
Not that getting alcohol was a big hassle when I was growing up anyways...

What about their parents? Do you think that perhaps parents
have SOME role in assisting their children to make decisions,
eat their celery, turn off the TV, cross with the light, use
alcohol & other drugs only when old enough, and wash behind
their ears, perhaps even WITHOUT government intervention?
Radical concept, I know. While you're pondering it, why
don't you try having this conversation in a newsgroup that
cares? Like, oh, I don't know... talk.politics.drugs maybe?

"People like you," huh? Let's drop this "people like you" stuff fast;
it's an exceptionally poor rhetorical technique. It doesn't mean
anything unless perhaps you are very familiar with the person you are
talking to, which I doubt somehow.

First of all, this has nothing at all to do with what we were talking
about. I don't recall anyone here arguing that prisoners should be
given telephones.
Second of all, you almost contradict yourself. If you think prisoners should
be given sanitary facilities, food, or an hour outside, you are
extending to them some rights. If you think they give up all rights
extended to citizens upon being jailed, there is really no reason to
feed the rascals. Now, perhaps you think that while they give up the
"rights" to food etc. you still favor feeding them out of your love for
humanity. But somehow I doubt such a complex thought would have occurred
to you.

there are two good answers to this: one is, get them before they reproduce!
if people die from stupidity without leaving progeny it increases the
intelligence of the next generation by just that little bit.
less cynically, if drugs are legal you can at least attempt to regulate
the access of minors to them. this is the case with alcohol, which is
legal, and which children are not legally able to purchase.

The reason for the free distribution of syringes was very simple...
Using somebody elses syringe will increase the chances of getting AIDS.
Drug (ab)users could get free syringes for trading in a dirty one.
Registered drug users can even take part in a program where they
get Methadon for free, so they will not have to steal to get their daily kick.
I don't approve of the use of hard drugs, but legalizing it would probably
be a good idea...
Prices would drop, people wouldn't have to steal so much. The only problem
this leaves us with, is keeping all the foreign drug tourists out and
stay good friends with the surrounding countries!! (Especially those
paranoid Americans)
Our drug policy is a lot more liberal than the one in the united states
we have less problems, and virtually NO problems with users of Hashish
or Weed, which BTW can be bought easily anywhere in Holland.

What? That's ridiculous, I don't have to worry about that kind'a shit because
I.... *never break the law*. That's right folks... I'm one of the unique
individuals who just don't break the law... Say what you will but you will not
be able to soil the fact that while you guys fuck up from your parking
violations, driving while intoxicated, your fake IDs (for you frat brats),
and what not...
Guys I'm going to be the guy sitting in the back of the court room laughing
my ass off when you fuck-heads get convicted of tax fraud or DWI.
Hell I'm not that evil of a guy... I mean if someone is jailed for some minor
illegal act... sure they should get fed and cleaned.. can't have them looking
and smelling like bums when they are let out and go back to serve society.
But the minor criminals arn't the point.. the problem with society today
is we have too many bambi-loving morons who feel that their is some good in
*every* individual and we should help them with social programs and
rehabilitation so they can serve our society. But your wrong. And one day you
might be one more corpse bleeding in the streets because your social views let
some drugged up punk walk over to the local gun-shop and buy himself a shotgun
so he could hold you up, steal your wallet, and blow your stupid ass wide open.
Of course I couldn't give a rats ass if your dead... I just don't like the idea
that it could happen in my area.
The fact is that those people who continually break the law by commiting
henious acts like theft, murder, selling drugs, etc, will never shape up and
will always go back to doing the same stupid ass thing!
You make drugs legal and you will simply make the fuel that causes these idiots
to screw them selves up even more available! And that causes ME problems, not to
mention your sorry self.
You see the bottom line is... if you make drugs legal.. then criminals can
"pump it up" any time, and that causes more crimes, which might get you killed
and if you get killed... whose going to mow my lawn? or press my suit? or keep
the eletricity and gas coming into my home? or police my neighborhood?
So if anything else... just remember that your here for me.
The Masked Jackal
anything I should be pissed because my tax dollars are supporting your
elitist right wing ass in a higher education system that obviously has done
nothing to raise your awareness. What creates crime is not drugs, but ass-
holes like you who repeatedly fuck with people's freedom to determine what
ever they put in their bodies-so long as no one else is affected. You right
wingers are the first to scream "right to bear arms", then blame criminals
for doing just that. Get a life! The constitution was written on HEMP paper
you insipid fuckhead. And if you want someone to mow your lawn or press your
shirts, get off your lazy ass and practice your conservative preaching: DO IT
YOURSELF, and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! It's called right to privacy from total
assholes like yourself

If you make drugs legal, there's a right way doing it:
-absolutely no advertising.
-only with a licence.
-no really bad drugs, i mean drugs with a major, permanent health-damage.
In almost any city you can have drugs if you want to, so legalizing
drugs won't make a difference. With legal drugs you know what you get
and you know where the money goes (taxes mostly I think). With illegal
drugs you don't know what poisen you get, and you do know that the
money is going to some criminal organization.
When you legalise drugs most big criminals will be out of a job, that's
why those criminal organizations will pay millions to prevent this.
(maybe they allready do...).

=========================
This is not meant to provoke flames or start a religious debate.
But as I've been reading this thread, and as a person who very much
liked River Phoenix's work, I thought I would mention that those of
you who are Catholic might pray for his soul. Actually, of course,
anyone might pray for his soul but Catholics who subscribe to the
traditional notion that "it is a good and wholesome thing to pray for
the dead" might forget that this is a good act one can perform for the
dead. The month of November, traditionally set aside as a month
dedicated to the souls in purgatory, is a good time to remember
that fact.

Children need their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to prevent them from
using drugs. That's what parents are for. Government is no substitute
for parenthood.

In which case his first point is still quite applicable. They get it
right now -- i found buying pot on my high school campus easier than
buying alcohol there.
