Termyn8or,

Well, if they are impaired, then they aren't acting 'responsibly', or think they are when they aren't, and they aren't in their 'right mind'.

IMO of course,

      It's funny. Go to a site where drug activity is fair topic for conversation, it's probably going to be a TOS violation there to talk about tying a woman to a bed frame, torturing her for a while, and commiting acts of sodomy upon her...

      Bearing that in mind, functional addicts do this every day. They may regulate the intake to be buzzed instead of baked, do a smaller line, or only pound one 40 instead of three, but they stay at a maintenance level. You've never seen a drywaller come back from the blue room with a lot more energy?

*All countries* have the right and duty to it's citizens to stop those things.

Including, apparently, the right to blow up men, women, and children who set foot on their soil--based on the internationally-accepted standard of "if it works for South Korea..."

And who gives a fuck what other countries think? Heaven forbid they might be "offended".

Cagey, if you don't walk in minefields or off limits areas with snipers you *probably* won't get blown to pieces, correct?

Do you see anyone arguing with you about its effectiveness? So why do you keep beating that horse?

Try to see beyond that limited view.

I can't quite agree with all of that. Legalize pot and treat it the same way as alcohol. That is a good idea.

I have the same stance and think that move would be a good starting point.

Evaluate the other drugs to see which ones actually cause harm to people. Those that don't get legalized. Those that do get labeled as poison and people caught selling them are trated as attempted murderers.

We would need to differentiate between the short-term consequences and the long term consequences. Some of the after-effects show up months or years later. I am thinking specifically of LSD flashbacks and drug-induced psychosis.

I have a friend whose body will never recover from the damage done by meth. That is a poison we should never treat as anything other than poison.

Have I ever mentioned here how much I hate meth and heroin? 2 of my closest friends almost died from meth over-doses and I lost one college friend to heroin.

I have numerous pothead friends who keep frito lay in business with the sheer magnitude of money they spend on cheetohs. Pot is good for the economy.

Several of my friends are zoned out to the Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and video games most of the time. They spend way too much money at Taco Bell and McDonalds but have yet to pick a fight with anyone while stoned.
