if all drugs were legal...

Discussion in 'General' started by joe Biggs, Jun 16, 2008.

  1. well i feel that all drugs should be legalized because we have the right to do whatever we want for our body. we all agree.

    but if all drugs were legal and could be bought at a store if your over 18 and have cash. then GHB and other date rape drugs would be easily able to get and assholes who abuse the privilege and use legal drugs for easy date rape would ruin the system.

    also anthrax is a drug. now yes if you want to kill yourself with anthrax the government should not have legal authority to stop you. but if we could just go and buy anthrax. then anyone could go buy anthrax and kill thousands of people.

    so how are we going to be able to legalize all drugs if this policy opens opportunities for assholes to abuse the privilege and use these drugs not for personal recreational use, but for crimes?

    edit: this is NOT a thread for discuss if all drugs should be legal.
     
  2. I think that all psychotropic substances should be over the counter, with age restrictions of 18 for things like Marijuana, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, Psilocybin, and Ibogaine.. Age restrictions for things like Methamphetamine, Pcp, Heroin, and products containing Tobacco being 21. I don't think GHB should be readily available however, there should be some exceptions. It sounds bad saying to legalize Methamphetamine or Pcp, but the product would be much more pure than what you buy on the street, and it would cut down on a lot of drug cartels (I don't mind them at all right now, it is probably where most of my drugs come from). I think if there was universal legalization of psychotropic substances it would cut down on the rate of addicts in this country in a secondary manner. Heroin was legal way back when, and the addiction rate wasn't nearly what it is today. Methamphetamine is semi legal, and you see those pictures of junkies that look completely destroyed. I believe that has somewhat to do with the fact that those people were probably getting product from a amatuer chemist, most of the chemicals in street Methamphetamine are foreign.
     
  3. i see what your saying legalize drugs that are "harmless" to those who understand what the substance can do.

    but for some people they just prefer ghb over cannabis. now the law should say they cant use ghb but can use cannabis? no i disagree.

    but the fact is if ghb was legal then date rape would skyrocket (well the chances are high that they will) and what those assholes who abuse the system cause all drugs to stay illegal.

    whats to do.
     
  4. Any and all drugs should be legal.

    Any and all crimes committed by someone who is on a drug or committed because of a drug, should be punishable by death.

    Libertarianism at its finest.
     
  5. yea of course the guy who goes and buys anthrax and kills a city should be fucking killed. but the government just supplied this murder with deadly chemicals. you think all those families arent going to be pissed as FUCK at the gov for allowing him to buy anthrax legally and kill thousands.

    so seriously whats to do.
     
  6. This would be one fucked up place...even more so than now. It would be a scary situation that I would not want to be a part of.
     

  7. read the post in a thread before you post yourself.
     
  8. Hmm, well most people that use GHB for date rape get it in pill form (under the brand name Xyrem). It is schedule 3 when you get it in this pill form, it would only be dropping two scheduled levels. I do see how it would be stupid not to legalize GHB too, it is a psychotropic drug...It is a hard thing to think about really:smoke:. I don't think anyone in the city is fond of rape. I think that there would defiantly be heavy penalties for abusing a substance in this sort of way. I think the government could find a way to dissuade people from using it in a way to take advantage of others. They did a good job dissuading people from taking lsd back in the late 50's and 60's. I think something similar to this could happen though, because if Barack Obama wins the presidency, then he will cut back the spending of the war on drugs. He even said himself that he thinks the war on drugs was a complete and utter disaster. There is defiantly a chance of the good green being legalized, I think that congress will consider a lot more under his control. As for the anthrax thing, I have never heard of anyone using anthrax for recreation (god I hope no one ever has). I was thinking about it, the crime rate might go up in some places, junkies might start robbing places to get their fix, better than shooting their dealer and taking thieir stuff I suppose.
     
  9. still if we were following through will "all drugs should be legal."

    then legally i can go an buy anthrax to kill myself with, then anybody can buy anthrax for crimes.

    and yea obamas a popular choice, but im still voting bob barr.
     
  10. It would be a safer place, the crime rate would plummet, a lot of gangs make profit from selling illicit substances. If this happened, there would be so many gangs that would disappear. Please don't say gangs arn't a a problem in the United States, people have said that before, but those people have never been to Oakland or Philly.
     
  11. tax payers money could go to important thing rather than housing and feeding drug users in jail, the end of the war on drugs would save us billions a year, ect.

    but like i said this is not a thread to discuss if all drugs should be legal.
     
  12. I would want legalization of just the psychotropic drugs, I believe that would exclude Anthrax, I will have to look into that. I would vote Libertarian if it was a more popular party. Ron Paul seems to be slipping, he had a pretty good message when he started running for presidency though(back in 1997 I believe). Sorry if I sound like I am abusing the rules of the thread :smoke:
     
  13. yea it would be alot easier to be have only psychotropic drugs legalized. but i still believe no single person (or group of people) have the right to tell anyone else what they can and cant do to their body.

    no worries man you actually have something productive to add to the conversation.
     
  14. anthrax isn't a drug.

     
  15. drug: any article, other than food, intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of humans or other animals.

    you my friend are wrong.
     
  16. I do agree with you that everyone should be able to choose what they put into their bodies. Just something like anthrax, it would be on shelves, and no one would use it to "have a experience". I do know what you are talking about though.
     
  17. Anything that poisons your body is a drug. Marijuana poisons your body, it just poisons it in a good and safe way. The reason why people don't use the work poison is because it is a very sharp term.
     
  18. i guess human natural in general will never allow us to be a socialist society where everyone has ultimate individual rights. because there are always those who abuse these right.

    tho we should fight for the legalization of drugs that are not capable to be as easily abused by society. thus legal psychotropic drugs.

    edit: dont worry man i already proved him wrong with a simple definition of the word drug.
     
  19. haha, that definition appeased him.
     
  20. Only certain drugs should be legal. Alcohol,tobacco,cannabis,Mushrooms, and salvia. Every other drug should be illegal. The main point on this whole thread that blades on GC have been talking about. Is that people shouldn't be thrown in jail for petty drug charges. Cause our prisons are filled with them for no reason and you could be the next one thrown in em. Simple as that. People should be places in an intensive rehab. Not like with rules and stupid bullshit philosophies. But abstaining from drugs and staying away from them for a certain periods of time.
