Should ALL drugs Be Legalized? & IS This a Site For Weed ONLY? I Thought it Was!

*finishes shooting up*

sorry what were you saying..

 

Hey bro. Id say those are some good questions.

As for my opinions...

When it comes to legalization, its all or nothing. That includes alcohol and tobacco, all or nothing. Either the government regulates what we put into our bodies that affects our minds as well, across the board, or they dont. My obvious choice is legalization of everything.

This is a weed forum, but you come into general, its a pretty good place to talk about other things. Seeing as general is general chat about lives, and a lot of people's lives here involve drugs. So I wouldnt worry about that. Personally I dont indulge in anything besides weed, booze, and some psycedelics, and stay away from the coke and all that, but I strongly believe in the freedom of choice, especially pertaining to our own bodies and minds, so I try not to hate on people who have made that decision.

Also, I dont really hang around people who do coke. I can say people get less gressive than their normal selves on weed though, and more agressive on booze. I am sure it is a safe assumption that coke makes people more amped, and agressive.


On a side note, I am studying abroad in England next year, and since I am going with a good Irish friend of mine we are thinking of swinging by your country. Would it be worth our while to go party there?

 

Sorry dude, but if you disagree, get out. The discussion of other drugs isn't covered against the rules, and will happen. Some marijuana users use other drugs.

Used responsibly, no drug causes agression, at least agression which is carried out and such. I'm sorry Ireland's turning in to the United States. Move?

Maybe just live your life and stop bitching? People have the right to do what they will with their bodies.

 

I don't see any bitching in this topic besides you. Hes just asking some things, not even pointed questions. You need to stop your unwarrented drug agression

 

God, I know. It's just this god damn coke!


Seriously though, my post got out of hand. My apologies to OP and everyone else.

(Edit, reading his post again, he is kind of bitching. Maybe it's just how I'm reading it.)

If you're not interested in the discussion of other drugs, stick out of general. If you're interested in Weed ONLY, hit the Rec Use section.

 

... Do junk with them?





Nah, now I'm just being a smartass.

The discussion of drugs which are not marijuana, hash, or any other form of recreational THC is restricted to the General section of Grasscity. If you're in the mood for "only weed" discussion, Check out Rec Use or Seasoned Tokers.

The way I see it, a large, overwhelming population of people disagree with the use of recreational marijuana. Who is any marijuana user to say that drugs which are commonly considered "harder," are wrong to use recreationally? People who disagree with marijuana use do not see from our point of view. Likewise, I would assume people who disagree with the use of cocaine or heroin do not see from the point of view of a cocaine or heroin user. I understand that there are drugs which are more dangerous or addictive than marijuana, but is it right to so strongly act against the use of drugs which are "harder?" Where is the line drawn?


My apologies if I offended you, dude. We don't see eye to eye, and I don't want to disrespect anyone further, I'll get outta the way. Peace.

 

It's pretty hypocritical to bash drug users.

 

It would've been better had the drugs never been illegal in the first place, but at this point I really don't think you can go from firmly being entrenched in the drug war to outright legalization of all drugs. There are far too many stupid ass people on this planet to give them unfettered access to highly addictive drugs. It would eventually level out to a reasonable number of hard drug users, but there would definitely be a gradual spike in addiction those first few years, before the general public learns first hand what drug addiction can do. "If it was bad, it'd still be illegal."

 

just because people do other drugs besides weed doesn't necessarily mean they throw their whole life away on it. i fucking love drugs. alcohol, weed, nicotine, cocaine, alprozalam, hydrocodone, dxm, klonopin... love em. i'm also top 10% in my class and got straight A's in the last grading session.

people who buy weed usually end up getting involved with people who sell other drugs, so it's only natural to see these kinds of posts on GC. psychoactives are psychoactives, and anything can be used responsibly. you shouldn't get pissed off at those who run the gamut of them.

I agree with legalization of all drugs. It's already been said numerous times, but the government has no place in telling us what we can and can't put in our bodies. Putting a drug in your body is an individual choice only you should be allowed to make for yourself, and should you choose to indulge, you have no one to blame but yourself if you lose control.

My condolences go to anyone who has lost someone they love to drugs, but having drugs illegal is clearly not doing anything to prevent that. If anything, it makes the situation worse in a variety of ways.

Personally, I don't understand how anyone could want the government to restrict what substances they are allowed to indulge in. It's just not right.

I almost forgot to add:
As for the posts about other drugs in the forum? I'm sorry, but you just gotta get over it, man. Any drug is just a substance, like alcohol, or nicotine, or pepsi. Nobody is trying to get people to stop posting about alcohol because someone they love got killed by a drunk driver, or to stop talking about cigarettes, because someone they love got lung cancer. It wasn't the drug that killed your friends, it was the abuse of it.

 

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

 

Right on, ma'am. I generally relate the restriction of drug use, to the phrase, "you tell a kid no, and all they hear is yes." I like to relate it to alcohol consumption laws in the United States versus alcohol consumption laws in European countries like Germany. I've spoken to German students and stuff, and you can tell the desire to binge drink is just not there. These kids like to sit down and have a few beers and have fun with their friends, but they certainly aren't drinking just to get drunk. In the United States, however, the laws on alcohol consumption are so strict that younger people have a much greater "drink to get drunk" attitude with binge drinking. You won't find many younger Americans (under 21) sitting down with a glass of red with dinner.


Speaking of Pepsi, I'm enjoying a can right now

 

if drugs were made legal, then what if the gangs just found something else to illegally traffic? i mean, they need to make their profit somewhere....right?

 

I, for one, would be too fucked up to care.

 

i, for one, would be on AT LEAST a week long mescaline binge, but really...what would the gang-bangers do? get a job with their little education? i doubt theyd all be going to suddenly work at mcdonald's
