well happy, to be perfectly honest, i have probably spent hundreds of hours of my life writing about why drugs could be legalised...

i may do something more comprehensive in future, maybe if it comes up in another thread, but here are my basic lines of arguement.

first i establish that drugs are only very expensive because they are legal.. by which i can then prove that massive portions of crime only occur because 'junkies need to get their fix'. and thats true. so youve got your dirty thieving homeless junkies who would stick an old woman with a dirty needle for twenty bucks, and youve got your greedy drug dealers getting fucken rich, all because they are illegal.. then youve got your eighty or so percent of american prisoners who are on stupid drug charges. is this fucking INSANE or what?!!!!!

then, you look at holland where drugs are legal. there are loads of tourists in it for the drugs, but if you look at the locals they have no higher rate of drug use than in any other nation and thats the truth. on the other hand their drugs are much better because they dont have to be produced in shitty dens by money hungry bastards who will gladly cut the shit with anything. ive had weed thats coated in cockroach bomb because it makes the shit weigh more. that shit is no fun!!!

now, inevitably youve got your pussies arguing about precious human life. well i get right up them because the only reason people die on drugs is the illegalisation... some obviously dont realise that junkies overdose because they are constantly getting different strength heroin, there is no regulation at all and after a few months with somebody who 'waters it down' they might do up what seems to be an ordinary hit from a different dealer and theyll kick the proverbial bucket.

at this point ive basically established that all the evils associated with drug use are only products of the zero tolerance legislation.

interestingly, i could go into the proven therapeutic uses of marijuana aswell, but i never do..

my personal favourite though, the arguement which to me is the strongest, the one which should convert the most conservative of idiots, is the fact that we should have this simple personal freedom to do what we will of ourselves. what, are they going to make legislation saying you cant stand up in a bathtub?? i know some fucken yank politicians would if they had the chance.

its about liberty man, thats what america is supposed to be all about, but simple liberty is my main arguement... some people wont get that angle because they just have what i call nazi minds.. theyre authoritarians, and they like rules, and they like control and strong ways to keep that control.. such people rule america. but these people are bloody morons really, they dont accomplish anything good even if they think they do... its about simple freedom, the fact that I should be able to fucking do drugs if I want to. ME. *ME*. not YOU. YOU dont have a fucking thing to do with it. you can make it fucken illegal and as expensive as hell if you want, it WONT stop me it will only HINDER me. and the more people you put in jail for doing no wrong, the greater your punishment will be when karma comes around and KICKS YOUR FUCKING ASSES BABY!
