One would think that the cops would be there to help with INFORMATION not MISINFORMATION, but then again, its just another symptom of the fucked up society we live in.
Just think about it, every time a certain drug has come into "fashion" the cops and government do their best to completely screw up the whole story and nature of the drug...
such and such can kill you on your first try...
such and such makes you blind...
such and such makes you grow hair on your palms and other strange places, makes your nose grow 10 times as big and makes you unattractive to the opposite sex...
And one needs only open a book of pharmacology or medicine journal to know the truth. And now we have the net, well...that makes it even easier doesnt it!
Instead of targeting speed, ecstacy and LSD, why dont they do their best to target drunk drivers, violent drunks and domestic violence? all these above three cause harm in more direct physical ways than any drug could do...they want to target drugs? ok...target heroin, making sure that whatever comes in to the streets is pure and safe to use, because theres no way that ANYONE is going to stop drug use, its a part of our genetics, in the same way that some apes will wait for certain fruits to go over-ripe so they can eat them and make complete and utter fools of themselves falling out of trees, drunk as anything, so we have evolved and found that certain plants and chemicals in good proportions have certain positive effects on us, ecstacy for the feel-good, dancey and empatic factor, speed for its endurance, alertness and social factor, and LSD for its eye-opening, weird and off the planet factor.
These little campaigns of misinformation and propaganda are really helping to screw the rave and doof scene right up, events where little, if any people get arrested and are rowdy and disruptive to the general community. Are they trying to create a nation of XXXX drinking dumb-arses? where every night you can find twice the amount of people passed out in a gutter and even more people walking the streets (very unsteadily mind you) starting fights and being general assholes to everybody thats even slightly different? I think so.
Now everybody has their posion of choice, some prefer the stupefying effects of alcohol, some prefer the out of body experiences of DXM, some prefer the amazing highs of cocaine and i think most of us on this board enjoy or prefer the empathy and fun that comes with use of MDMA...whats so bad about that? everyones parents, and even some of us bluelighters (i think) lived thru the 60's and 70's, and did much the same thing. Why should the government use the scare tactics on people that already know what its all about? its a bit redundant isnt it? Its up to everyone that uses drugs of any kind to be responsible with their use, to be responsible and look out for those around them, this way all the attention that is being drawn to our substances of choice wont be so heavy and less incidents will happen.
theres my thought provocation for the day, i know its long...but when you have an opinion, you have an opinion
And keep enjoying your E's, T's and wizz
no matter what people say!
