Well thats an interesting theory Wha happened but is it being realistic though, most of the heavy drug and alcohol consumption starts
in the adolescence years at a peak and weathers down as the person becomes older. Putting warning stickers on bags of pot
would be like the warnings they now have on packages of cigarettes.
we are having high winds here and my internet is intermittent(sp) so If I disappear, thats why
I keep losing posts and just want to get this is real fast while I have service!!!!
purps
I haven't presented any theory, just opinion based on personal experiance. I wasn't condoning or condeming any drug based on strength, I was mearly countering your point
Hang in there Purps, this wind shall soon pass Leviticus 3 : 9
Sorry I'm not following the suggestion on training people to smoke pot the right way.
Maybe I smoked too much of it in the 60's and 70's ?
I don't agree with smoking pot, there are other methods
Gosh Homer, I'm kinda surprised at your take. Your scenario is nothing like my real life experience. I smoked pot every day for 2 or 3 years. I got tired of it, and even though everyone around me continued, I stopped. Both of my children have smoked pot. Son doesn't like it at all, and daughter does it occasionally, even though her father does it every day. Frankly, it's kinda like that gun saying. "Drugs don't make addicts, people do".
And again, who is going to control these substances better? The drug dealer or the guy who owns the "drug store", and will lose his living if he sells to a minor?
So you think society would be better off, and justice would be served, if you had been imprisoned Homerovah? Do you feel like justice is perverted when other people get busted for perhaps less use than your own, but are put in prison?
Like tastful brownies for example
And it can be assured that there would be a storm of young people that would be the target consumers just the way alcohol is marketed to.
Thats an absolute given .
The very root cause of the problem is young people experimenting with substances , its been said that marijuana is a gateway drug to more
harder drugs like cocaine and heroin and I would have to agree with that, just to use an example there was a Television journalist program
recently done on the Drug invested streets of Vancouver focusing on prostitutes who were drug attics and everyone said they first started
with pot and then they moved on to the more harder drugs like crack cocaine and heroin. So introducing even more people to pot could
very well create more people users of the more harder drugs and potentially create attics of those drugs.
So should we then have an attitude of apathy and say well its their own darn fault for starting into hard drugs.
As for myself I probably wouldn't have tried acid and cocaine if I hadn't first been a casual pot smoker, it goes with norm I guess.
Like I've said before there are consequence to be considered legalizing pot, the people that make theses kinds of decisions
have to consider them all, and not only just the responsible mature people like me or yourself.
By the way I support the use of marijuana for medical reasons.
Hom u seem to avoid alcohol as a gateway drug. Why aren't u including this?
