[Skyryder]

Mate just spit on it and take the matter in hand

Either that or 'get a grip' on yourself.

It is perfectly logical, and sensible, .

Sensible such a 'granny' word [you could be right]. But in this case not logic.

You can kill yourself with Alcohol and Tobacco why not 'P'? they are all drugs are they not?

[Ixion]

Logical enough. it is a matter of degree. You can kill yourself with water, too. There needs to be a line drawn where society says "That shit is just too dangerous". F'instance, we don't allow people to buy nitroglycerine or gelignite at the supermarket. One function of a government is to listen to the public (Tui moment here) and decide where the line should be drawn.

Obviously different people will have a different idea of where the line should be drawn. Some will think that P should not be excluded. Some, on the other hand, will think that tobacco and alcohol should be included (ie prohibited). In general the line gets drawn somewhere around where the majority of people think is appropriate.

Note that i have carefully made no comment as to my own opinion of where the line should be (mainly because I don't really have an opinion).

It also depends on how society views the effect of the consequences of the drugs. Many people may have no objection to people quietly getting off their face. But do object when said people start taking to others with swords. Were the penalties for the antisocial behaviour sometimes (note I said sometimes) consequent on use of drugs more severe, there might be more tolerance of the taking of the drugs. Maybe.

I think it is individual, some people have highly addictive personalities others don't, some can do moderation others only exteme.

Naive statements from people with no experience I believe but that's the way of the sheep I guess.

It's just people being loose with their logic and statistics. I'm sure that those that are destroyed by this drug are hooked very very quickly. This doesn't of course mean that will be the case for everyone that tries it.

It's a new twist on the old argument that hash leads to heroin.....everyone H addict will have smoked pot, but does that mean...etc etc.

Myself, I have a pretty high tolerance for some drugs, it usually takes the dentist three shots to get my teeth numb enough to drill.

Addicts aren't as likely to steal my helmet for a packet of Benson & Hedges.

You hit the nail on the head there big fella. Its all about the costs of feeding such addictions. People get real rich in the drug world. Though it isn't the end users.

About how much is P anyway?

I know they sell it by the gram (not too sure how much a gram is anyway... but I'm told its a tiny amount)...

My old boss used to spend $800 a week on P... Another reason why I won't touch it... just incase I like it... I wouldn't be able to afford to do it...

Sure thing but not people that use it are addicts,theives or violent types and otherwise have very consructive and forfilling(sp) lives lives with no ill effect....fact.
IE: not all people that have a drink are pissheads...not all people that have the occasional joint are stoners BUT if you were to have too much of anything like the above mentioned ofcourse it'll screw you over...
I agree...hit the manufacturers harder if that is possible
