Well...looks like the thread for II was somehow...deleted. Don't know how, but it seems to be gone. So, post your comments here (and damn, because there was some really good comments here, before...*sigh*)

So, what's the status on the Formal Debate?

So, a debate about the legalization of drugs? hmmm. . .

Just to butt in. . . I personally don't think that there is anything wrong with canabis. I can't smoke it because of my job, but in my earlier days, I used to be quite the "pot head"

Now, I think that I am quite level headed. So, I never let it get in the way of the things that I had to do (school, pay bills, etc...) Then again, if I were not like that then canabis could have hindered my *values*, so to speak. Same goes for alcohol. The wrong substance in the wrong hands can lead to bad things. Just like anything else.

I have had this conversation many a times with my "pot smoking buddies". We tend to think that it would hurt tobacco companies, alcohol companies, and many other facits. Take for instance cotton. It is known that you can use hemp to make clothing. Hemp is VERY durable and can be woven to be as soft or softer than cotton.

You can grow it just about anywhere and it isn't really that hard. Trust me.

OK, that is my rant for now. Carry on. . .

Later,

Well, I am the unbiased moderator Ruski..

But I'll leave you on this note: Drugs have had a negative impact on the world. However, I think drugs have done us some good. And if you don't agree with me, go home and take all you're albums, all you're tapes, and burn them. Because those artists that have enhanced your lives over the years with their music... Reeeeaaaal fucking high on drugs.


I'm not taking sides... Heh.

tool owns lol,
just browsing old posts, kinda bored.

so i'm going to bump this just out of respect

should drugs be legal? well, you have to think: there are many many stupid people in the world, drugs are going to get a lot of people killed when you put them in bad hands. Even those who wouldn't normally endanger the lives of others. If they legalized it though, i think more poeple would turn to other things, like uhh..... smoking monkies or something. But regardless, it would be dangerous and relatively bad to the economy (which is a major reason that the US Govt. hasn't legalized it yet) I wouldn't be as worried about marijuana being legalized as I would something like crack or heroin, stuff that really kills people daily. Because if you legalized it, it would be like multiplying that threat times a million.

just my 1.86 cents (economic deflation due to the legalization of marijuana)

B6. What is the libertarian position on the "drug war"?
That all drugs should be legalized. Drug-related crime (which is over 85% of all crime) is caused not by drugs but by drug laws that make the stuff expensive and a monopoly of criminals. This stance isn't "approving" of drugs any more than defending free speech is "approving" of Nazi propaganda; it's just realism -- prohibition doesn't work. And the very worst hazard of the drug war may be the expansion of police powers through confiscation laws, "no-knock" warrants and other "anti-drug" measures. These tactics can't stop the drug trade, but they are making a mockery of our supposed Constitutional freedoms.

Libertarians would leave in place laws against actions which directly endanger the physical safety of others, like driving under the influence of drugs, or carrying a firearm under the influence.

i thought they were on track though i can also see your point in removing them

maybe the powers that be should place posts like these into a thread of of their own

instead

you have the power, don't you?

to create threads

just as we do

but when a post is lost it is lost

And this isn't the place for discussing this - if anyone has any other concerns then start a new thread (either in this forum or the MS lab) or they may also be removed. I'm not trying to stiffle discussion I am trying to keep this debate on track.

I talked to Ramm on Q today, and he told me he'll have the ending response tommorow, and then I'll go on with my plan as schedualed.

So when he does post tommorow, I'll probably be in school. I don't want anyone starting any new threads. I'll take care of that around 5:00 P.M. Eastern time. I think you'll like where my idea is going, but you have to wait until tommorow .

Well, I can't speak for outcydr...but during my drug-daze (little pun), I did come away with a greater understanding of the drug scene, of why people use drugs, and the dangers of abuse...and also, that having a way to insure purity of the drug could have a substantial impact on the lessening of overdose deaths. I know (and have felt) the brunt of those without these types of experiences...drug-users are often thrown into one heap, and the prejudice often felt, is there.

Now that I am mostly drug free (a bit of alcohol these days, and cigs), I enjoy the clear-headedness of just living...

For me, nothing beats being in the wilderness and being, just being, a part of something bigger...my sort of drug, I guess...

Well folks that about wraps up the proceedings from me and ramstiens posts in the formal, unless anymore questions want to be pitched in.

i am adding a subnote in the formal, that anyone thinking "about doing" or currently doing them and stuck might want to read. It should be up later tonight, this isnt part of the debate, mainly a bit of advice from someone who has seen the more dangerous side of things close up n dirty.


I'd like to thank ram for his part in the debate, and to apologise for the delays brought about by real life problems/work etc from my end.

So on that note thanks insider and everyone for looking.
