I think prohibition is wrong. Prohibition of pretty much anything EXCEPT crack - honestly I think this is the only drug which should be illegal. It has no legitimate uses.
So there I totally agree with you - it's still a bit rebellious.
You say the primary focus of these drug warriors is to reduce big pharma consumption, and you disagree with this? I think it's a good thing - there shouldn't be any criminal consequences for the people taaking advantage of the system, just for the people who prescribe them NEGLIGENTLY.
I think you have an inaccurate perception of me bro. This isn't "rebellion", it's acknowledgement that prohibition is unethical, immoral, unconstitutional and, if none of those matter to you, well, it's also completely impractical, ineffective, and in many instances, *counterproductive*.
Okay first, there are NOT ways to make sure ppl don't kill themselves in such a manner, only ways to reduce that # (hint: we're not doing that right now).
"they have no place doing it"...says you. Again, i completely disagree with you (and think you must be pretty damn confident in your beliefs/views to think it's appropriate to force them onto others). Let me ask you something, let's say someone decides they want to drink to their liver rots out. Do they have a place doing so?(i dislike your phrasing, so "do they have the right to do so?")
You're very very off-base here. Believe it or not, the primary focus of the drug warriors in my area is oxycodone and dilaudid, reductions of consumption in those would slow OD's and reduce big pharma sales (again: they're doing it wrong, but those are their goals and they are actually pretty aggressive)
Well in the 1st i disagree that it's in the gov's purview to try and take that role, but truth is that^ isn't what stops ppl from destructive drug behaviors. Knowing how dangerous dope is doesn't dissuade ppl. What tends to be the overwhelming factor in destructive drug behaviors is someone's life, the entirety of it, ie their outlook / what they have to live for / their future /etc. This isn't a problem of information/education.
If you're unsure about what i just said, consider the addicts that you know. Consider those who got and stayed clean. Hell, wiki the "rat park" study(highly reco'd reading). Then tell me this is an issue of information/education. It is not.
yeah they probably do need a good talking to. but that comes from their family, their friends, or it comes from nobody. It should not come from guys with guns/cuffs, looking to cage the person.
(edit: i should note that i would say most anyone doing *speedballs* needs a talking to, because i have yet to ever come across an example of intravenous cocaine, or smoked freebase, where it was something that was in the user's control. If you had said almost anything besides speedballs, i would argue that there's usually a proper time/place. But crack, and IV coke, are things i've just never ever seen nor could understand how they could be used in any manner that's acceptable, and this is due to their ridiculous "fien" potential, ie ppl use til they run out. They just bring on FAR too obsessive a compulsion for more use, wayyyy too strong/fast, to be used in any proper manner. This does NOT hold true for opiates/meth/powder coke IMO, despite all of those having much more pronounced 'fien' potential than most other drugs)
We seem to totally agree on th crack thing and that is because we see the truth, not subjective opinions.
Whilst there is a national government I believe it is their place to delegate to people who actually know what they are talking about and are completely impartial to run programmes about educating re drugs.
That's not what I meant though - I mean a much more holistic education, because the causes that make people turn to drugs are generally shitty "nurturing" growing up, and poor education in a sado-masochistic society of power dynamics - no wonder so many people wanna get high to escape - the establishment have got us fucked, and this is only because they too hate themselves, as they are relying purely on their reptilian brain.
Moving on - yeah I meant someone (like family or friends or just a straanger really, anyone - it is our responsibility as fellow human beings to point out if someone is destroying themselves, and potentially others, and to offer our help) should talk to them, slapping them in cuffs is just part of the power & domination game in play, turning people into dependents, slaves, and "no hopers".
Leading me to my point again that they have no place doing these drugs if they don't have a problem. Nature didn't put these things here for us to get fucked up - yes we have a choice, but to be true to ourselves the right choice is to only use them for pain...emotional pain included, but to strive to take away our own pain in natural forms - these things are medicine and dpeople abuse them, which is why we have controls by cunts on them in the first place...because of our mammalian tendency to wanna get loaded - but we are humans, we have higher consciousnesses and don't live purely on instinct - so we should be able to stop fucking about, and help each other do it, and leave these gifts to people who truly need them.
Therefore I state for the final time, recreational users of drugs have no place doing them after curious experimentation and the following - entheogenic, psychotherapeutic, analgesic, etc I go on - these are the only excuses, and yes I am very confident in my views - I speak a universal truth here.
Yes, occasionally I will have a drug to get high, I won't lie, but I strive to be just
me, and that person I can be doesn't ever need drugs.
