so back to the topic .

WHY NOT LEAGALISE POT?.

Anyone got one good reason, ? that isn't massively out-weighed by the positives??.

Mental hospitals are full of people who became psychotic from pot.
They probably had a slight psychosis to start with but pot pushed them over the edge -

now as taxpayers we have to pay to look after them.

Drug addicts live in denial intent on justifying the habit for themselves destroying not only their own lives but everyone elses with no remorse.

This is true and I do not deny it. Anecdotal and other sources agree.

BUT............

I'd add not all drug users are 'drug addicts', as per your paradigm..

The inherent 'bad' in that label is generalisation and seeks to simplify and demonise people. I don't deny that much harm comes about through people abusing illegal substances.

I do grasp the difficulties in the process of rejecting your poison of choice, and commend all who try so hard to face their demons and find a new self. A truer self.

Good on ya's.

I have heard stories of 3 groups of parents who each have a teenage child who is driving them crazy after getting onto drugs.
In each case the police & mental hospitals are involved.

It's happening every day in millions of homes.

They are encouraged to experiment these days by looneys who want drugs legal.

There is no evidence of the existence of a muslim,mohammed,or quran until 60 years after mohammed was supposed to have died. Grin

Posting on islam just encourages them and is a waste of time.

Reply #738 - Oct 9^th, 2015 at 10:54pm I have one for both of you I admit I'd never read a book by this author before... just never got around to it. But a neighbour lent it to me, among others, and this was the one I left till last, because of my unfamiliarity. Matthew Flinders Cat - Bryce Courtney.. Takes a while to get started, but .. worth the read.

Again don't lump all illegal drugs together. Ice is not the topic here.
