Legalise Crystal Meth?

[flyingcrocodile46]

Oh but didn't you know that all the studies in the world won't change peoples minds IF the findings don't agree with their own beliefs?

Heh... +1 for a dose of reality

Besides I ain't an 'average' KB user.

Sorry to burst your bubble bro' but really you 'aint that different from the rest of us.
Perhaps a little more stubborn.

Just for info; BMC(British Medical Council) did a two year study on the top twenty most destructive drugs in use in the UK ...
number 1 was,unsurprisingly,Heroin... where was Meth?...... number 9,one position BEHIND nicotine.

Guess what was number 5... alcohol

and where did BZP party pills rate?,the latest great satan of those that would control YOUR bodies and what you put in them???... didn't even make the top 20......

It's wonderful living in a free,informed society...

Any chance of finding a link to this study twotyred?
The addictiveness of nicotine would not surprise me in the slightest!

Who the hell would bother with BZP when Ectascy and the like are so freely available. Same for Crystal Meth - not the drug of choice which is why its so far down on the list.

My fascination with all things druggie has lead me to question any and all users.
When it comes to BZP I have yet to find anyone who will not SLAM the resulting hangover. After trying BZP a couple of times I concur, the shit regulates itself.

The guberments meddling outlawing the drug [while clearly ill conceived] will have a positive spin off. Companies once manufacturing BZP will now be spending vast amounts of money on alternatives. Hopefully the consumer wins.

Seriously.. if it's legal, we would have more people hooked on it and then more people needing medical help for the addiction in the first place.. How would legalising it make it easier to help those people?

But making it legal would just mean we would end up with more people needing help in the first place wouldn't it.. and whose to say they would come foward for help, even though alcohol etc are legal it doesnt mean more people are actually asking for help. There is still a definate stigma about being an addict of any kind.. ...

...just my opinion.

Thats what I thought. But on doing some research I found that... it seems... that supply and ease of availability does not increase risk exposure to trying drugs/alcohol or addictions

Whether stuff is tried depends far more on the image and reputation of the drug than on availability. The drinking age is higher in the US but they get the same alcoholism rate as us at the end of the day.

Addiction tendency is strongly genetic so its more a matter of the addict will find the drug (however easy or hard that is) if the drug doesn't land in their lap first.

And thats a good point about legality not making it easier to seek help. On average the people I know as Kiwis are reluctant to seek help in most matters.
