I think if we had mandatory life imprisonment for drug dealers, we might have less of a drug problem.

What constitutes a drug dealer?

Someone selling kilos of speed?
Someone selling baggies of pot to their friends?

Just what we need. More people in jail.

Mandatory sentences suck dogs balls - for any crime.

Both of the above. They are destroying the fabric of society, or what remains of it.

Oh well. I just happen to think society is doing fine. I most certainly don't think we're in the midst of some kind of decline.

actually.
who really cares.

sure, it would be nice to be able to buy it at your local supermart.
but, still.
since all these drug doggies etc, ppl are now networking it.
either that or import seeds and GYO.
what ever measures to stop it are put in place, countermeasure are being also put in place.
just because one smoke a little weed, it doesn't mean one is stupid.

The fabric of society will buck the trend of control and analness. We just aren't generally/democratically built for that type of crap.

Yeah have a joint, it's far less harmful than most of the shite being shoved down our throats these days.
Our purpose is geneally not to make money for others, it is to enjoy the time that we have here on this planet.
If others wish to push push push until they drop dead, then that's their perogative.

I'm not an advocate for legalising pot, but it seems alcohol is doing a lot more damage to society - it's just easier to detect on a driver or worker.

The problem with legalising cannabis is that it would be smoked even more prolifically than it is now, especially at work. I've heard people boast they can work and drive well while stoned, but they're kidding themselves.

Near 30 years experience with decriminalisation in SA would indicate otherwise.

Alcohol isn't illegal and nobody thinks it's okay to be drunk at work. It stands to reason most people would realise it's not on to be stoned in the workplace either.

Generally, I think that it is a very different drug to alcohol. It usually causes one to drive more carefully with far less sacrifice of cognetive skill than that which ocurrs with alcohol.

Most people have tried it, and most don't really care for it unless the situation is right.
If there was a higher (no pun) demand for it, then it would be all over the place as it is easily grown and distributed quite easily without detection.

I've seen many a bong-head, and believe you me, it is a service to society to keep them on it. You really wouldn't like them when they're mad.

It's the bud that has kept them from being mad, not the other way 'round.

I agree, but we may have a much worse "people" problem.

People want a drug "usually" to escape from a society that they don't like, or to "fit in" to an aspect of society that they do like.

People don't like to be the meat in the sandwich, feeling trapped.
Most times, they'd rather hide ther own inconquerable normalcy with an "out there" appearance, because anything is better than being the meat in the sandwich.

I agree. Who needs to clog up the prison system? There's always execution.

Treat the cause, not the symptom. Good point.
