Does drug prohibition put the police in danger and harm the public?

yeah...it just slows you down and makes you parnoid. Then the munchies come along....maybe that's why this country has an increase in overweight people. They're all pot heads.

Personally, I've smoked pot since 15, always in moderation....have now ceased this habit. It's crap. Don't like how it makes me feel but it's taken close to 30 for me to work that one out. FFS, talk about slow. Maybe I've been too stoned to realise what I twat I'd been. I've seen some damage it's done to a young man's life recently and well....that hurts. My ex-husband was the same, one of the reasons he is my ex.

Anything that alters our state of reality can't be good, I know alcohol isn't....why do humans' feel the need to escape reality? It's not that bad, life is what you make, it is about your attitude, perhaps if we all could encourage one another a lot more and look at our own levels of self esteem the need to drugs would be eliminated. (Who am I kidding?)

If we all had a really good look at our lives we'd see how great we have it....that fact that we can see surely has to be a starting point for rejoicing, next point could be that hey, we can hear, then move, walk, eat...so much, yet we forget it.

For some this is achieved by the use of marijuana.
One very good episode of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' was when Larry went off to get some pot for his old man because he couldn't see. Very funny show.

aha...I have heard that marijuana is useful in cases of glucama.....also for medicinal purposes in pain manangement and nausea. It does depend on how it is used. It is a very addictive substance. The social disadvantages in our youth and the ongoing affects in some peoples lives are from the point of view I now look at it.
I know of one man who started smoking at 15, was doing well at school, happy, outgoing, he is now 43, smoked everyday, never worked, nothing wrong with him bar his addiction to pot yet he has been on sickness beneift for over 20 years. He suffers from depression, drinks like a fish and has fathered 5 children to 5 different mothers. A real assest to society. Not blaming all this on pot but hey, he smokes at least ten joints a day. He only motivation in life is to grow more pot to sell and smoke. Awesome! Society needs more just like him!

oops, forgot to mention his violent history.....against his peers and his partner. But according to him, she deserves it because she doesn't shut up or do as she's told!!!!

I am socially disadvantaged by being autistic. Cannabis helps with the difficulties I experience, difficult social conditions that will never change!!

So when I was bullied by my family (including mom and dad) as a kid, I learnt that the world is an unfair and hostile place, for intelligent people with little or no herding, conforming or neurotypical instincts.

Many of the nut jobs at the Daktory are just your average person, often of higher ethical value than your average citizen.... The westie component is relative to other suburban archetypes.

The clean living good folks out their who press their shirts and clean their cars and go to work all their lives, may sometimes be causing more harm on earth than your average stoner....

Nearly all the stoners I know are more intelligent and caring than most. Its a way to escape the hell hole of a cruel world

I always like the tone of your rhetoric Genie, its refreshing for me to know that some years of cannabis has contributed to the kindness that surround you, or maybe you took cannabis to escape too. I'm glad you have found a way without it, but question whether you should recommend removing that option for others.

I personally wouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water....

Amusing interlude:

[marie_speeds]

Watched Cat in the Hat for the first time the other day and decided that one really needs to be stoned to watch it

Don't prohibit drugs, they are needed for watching movie's like this!

[mashman]

LSD and watch The Doors movie... talented fella that Oliver Stone... anyhooo...

kinda shows how long i've "been out of the game"... I watched a programme on Discovery (Can I get High Legally?) last night about legal highs and did a little reading and watching today... fuckin hell that's scarey...

Why is Cannabis not legal if these things are? Honest question for those that have taken legal highs (not booze or cigs)... from what i've seen on youtube people get utterly mangled after a simple bong hit, something i've VERY VERY RARELY seen after a similar Cannabis blast...

how the fuck can that be a legal high (take a look at the effects of Salvia Divinorum on youtube)!!! The guy in the programme explains that MDMA is banned, as are several other drugs, but they are banned substances in regards to their chemical makeup. So, take an E, add an extra oxygen molecule and that E then becomes legal until they can ban the formula...

PROHIBITION WORKS MY HAIRY FAT ASS!!!!

Ya can't beat 2001 A Space Odyssey and Acid ... the first shots of the planets lining up is simply A f'ken Mazing - especially if you're in the front row of a true Cinerama Theatre ...

Perhaps it's a good time for you to do some study as to why you feel it has a positive effect on your condition, find out what is in it that stimulates what you need Not being facetious, I'm serious.

I haven't seen 2001 in Cinerama, but I did see it on a 70mm print at the St James theatre about twelve years ago.

I rather wish I'd been on Acid. The film is visually stunning, but unbelievably boring.

Trivia re. 2001
· What is the significance of the opening shot of the aligned celestial bodies in the film?
The sun and the crescent moon aligned with each other was a symbol of Zoroastrianism, an ancient Persian religion that predated Buddhism and Christianity and was based on the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster (also known as Zarathustra). This particular alignment symbolized the eternal struggle between light and darkness.

Cinerama.
Although released in Cinerama, 2001 was not shot with three cameras but with one camera on 70mm film with a special anamorphic lens to widen the image.

Boring.
Kubrick cut 19 minutes from the film’s original 158-minute running time after its New York premiere, mostly to speed up the pacing.
