		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Putting people in cages for non-violent drug choices is oppressive.&quot;


Putting anyone in a cages is oppressive. It&#039;s a question of justice and balancing the rights of all citizens. Which is not to say that we have it right today. I&#039;m just saying that completely obliterating restrictions on substances is probably not the answer.


&quot;The state seizing your property is the functional equivalent of destroying your property.&quot;



Yes, in terms of punishing the accused it is. But is also creates incentives both for the state and any law breakers. It&#039;s not ideal right now by any stretch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your facts Malcolm. However, while your facts are correct your reasoning is deeply flawed for several reasons:


1) Alcohol abuse does cause damage. Permitting *worse* drugs compounds the damage, not negates it.


2) My point was that illegal drugs are much worse *per-unit-use*.(that is, per dose). Since you have trouble with reasoning I&#039;ll help you out with an analogy. &quot;99% of vehicle deaths are caused by consumer passenger vehicles. Very few deaths are caused by Formula 1 racing cars. Therefore the (intellectually lazy) conclusion is that Formula 1 racing must be safer than ordinary motor use&quot;. This is false, because the per-unit-of-use factor must be taken into account.


Malcolm it appears you have fallen into fallicious &quot;reasoning&quot; where you start with the conclusion you desire and find facts to back it up.  This would be harmless idiocy if it were not for the fact that the same (intellectually lazy) arguments are being made by the political Left in advocating widespread decriminalizing of harmful susbtances, which will hurt a great many people. In the insanity of the Left sugar should be banned as a &quot;toxin&quot;, but destroying your lungs, body and psyche with marijuana is laudable. 



Time you switched that brain of yours on, amigo - or perhaps it is too late, thanks to the marijuana :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kindly educate yourself:

Alcohol (United States) is a factor in the following:

* 73% of all felonies * 73% of child beating cases * 41% of rape cases * 80% of wife battering cases * 72% of stabbings * 83% of homicides.

According to the Australian National Drug Research Institute (2003): &quot;The research into the global burden of disease attributable to drugs found, that in 2000, tobacco use was responsible for 4.9 million deaths worldwide, equating to 71 percent of all drug-related deaths. Around 1.8 million deaths were attributable to the use of alcohol (26 percent of all drug-related deaths), and illicit drugs (heroin, cocaine and amphetamines) caused approximately 223,000 deaths (only 3 percent of all drug-related deaths).&quot; Marijuana doesn&#039;t get a mention.

According to DrugRehabs.Org, national (USA) mortality figures for 2009 were: tobacco 435,000; poor diet and physical inactivity 365,000; alcohol 85,000; microbial agents 75,000; toxic agents 55,000; motor vehicle crashes 26,347; adverse reactions to prescription drugs 32,000; suicide 30,622; incidents involving firearms 29,000; homicide 20,308; sexual behaviors 20,000; all illicit drug use, direct and indirect  17,000; and marijuana 0.

Researchers led by Professor David Nutt, a former chief drugs adviser to the British government, asked drug-harm experts to rank 20 drugs (legal and illegal) on 16 measures of harm to the user and to wider society, such as damage to health, drug dependency, economic costs and crime. Alcohol scored 72 out of a possible 100, far more damaging than heroin (55) or crack cocaine (54). It is the most harmful to others by a wide margin, and is ranked fourth behind heroin, crack, and methamphetamine (crystal meth) for harm to the individual.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our policy regarding drugs is in the hands of frauds, liars and two bit crooks, and until they are in handcuffs, poverty will increase, injustice will prevail and perversity will rule the planet.

* In 2001, Portugal decriminalized all drugs. This has resulted in the number of people infected with HIV who are drug addicts dropping from 50 per cent to 20 per cent, and new diagnoses of HIV among addicts dropping from approximately 3,000 to below 2,000 annually. The number of drug overdose deaths declined from 400 to 290 a year between 2001 and 2006, and “problematic” drug use and drug use among adolescents has decreased. 

* Prohibitionists have always been murderous parasites: In 1926, during alcohol prohibition, the federal government began a campaign of deliberately poisoning vats of liquor with kerosene, gasoline, benzene, cadmium, iodine, zinc, mercury salts, nicotine, ether, formaldehyde, chloroform, camphor, carbolic acid, quinine, acetone, methanol, and several other deadly toxins. Estimates place the body count above 10,000.

* Illegal Drug Cartels cannot operate without the support of politicians, bureaucrats, and police officers.

* Keeping various psychoactive plants and their derivatives illegal and unregulated means robberies, home invasions, murders, broken families, shattered lives—all mostly done by law enforcement agencies. Add to that list: environmental devastation, poisoning of lands, streams and wildlife—all preventable by regulated legalization. 

* Prohibition has been a slow but relentless degradation (death by a zillion cuts) of all our cherished national and international institutions that will leave us crippled for numerous generations. 

* The US federal government is now the most dangerous and corrupt corporation on the planet; it is solely comprised of traitorous, lying hucksters who spy on us—in the MPICIC (military/police industrial corporate intelligence complex), the 99% are all probable suspects.

* In 1989, The Kerry Committee found that the United States Department of State had made payments to drug-traffickers. Concluding, that even members of the U.S. State Department, themselves, were involved in drug trafficking. Some of the payments were made even after the traffickers had been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies - or even while these traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies.

* The involvement of the CIA in running Heroin from Vietnam, Southeast Asia and Afghanistan, and Cocaine from Central America, has been well documented, by the 1989 Kerry Committee report, academic researchers Alfred McCoy and Peter Dale Scott and the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Gary Webb.

* The United States jails a larger percentage of it&#039;s own citizens than any other country in the world, including those run by all the other worst totalitarian regimes, yet it has far higher use &amp; addiction rates than most other countries.

* As with torture, prohibition is a grievous crime against humanity. If you support it, or even simply tolerate it by looking the other way while others commit it, you are an accessory to a very serious moral transgression against humanity.

* The United States re-legalized certain drug use in 1933. The drug was alcohol, and the 21st amendment re-legalized its production, distribution and sale. Both alcohol consumption and violent crime dropped immediately as a result. And very soon after, the American economy climbed out of that same prohibition engendered abyss into which it had foolishly fallen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why&gt; drugs kill. Maybe not all users, but enough for society to ban them for the harm they cause. One bad trip on acid and your mind is gone. Most people are paranoid on THC. even tho&#039; they&#039;re too dumb to notice. In my personal experience all the potheads lose any sharp edge to their wit after a few year&#039;s use. Meth and heroin are very very bad for your physical health.  Cocaine is bad for your sinuses. Opium will also destroy your body and has nasty side effects like constipation (as does many other illegal drugs). Krokodil is the fast way out. etc etc etc

Drugs are banned because the science shows they are harmful to society. Scientists have tried hard to synthesize drugs which wouldn&#039;t have bad effects, LSD being the famous example, but they all have severe psychological effects if they don&#039;t have physical ones.  Drugs are not bad because &quot;The Man is a Party Pooper&quot;, but because they cause demonstrable harm to society or can be shown that they will - according to controlled scientific studies. The young are especially vulnerable to the damage (but are also too stupid to exhibit control over use).

In contrast, alcohol is actually beneficial to your health *in moderation*. And most people aren&#039;t idiots with alcohol.]]></description>

Opium will also destroy your body and has nasty side effects like constipation (as does many other illegal drugs). Krokodil is the fast way out. etc etc etc</p>
<p>Drugs are banned because the science shows they are harmful to society. Scientists have tried hard to synthesize drugs which wouldn&#8217;t have bad effects, LSD being the famous example, but they all have severe psychological effects if they don&#8217;t have physical ones.  Drugs are not bad because &#8220;The Man is a Party Pooper&#8221;, but because they cause demonstrable harm to society or can be shown that they will &#8211; according to controlled scientific studies. The young are especially vulnerable to the damage (but are also too stupid to exhibit control over use).</p>
<p>In contrast, alcohol is actually beneficial to your health *in moderation*. And most people aren&#8217;t idiots with alcohol.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Drug prohibition, another &quot;progressive&quot; idea and not conservative at all.&quot;


This statement is correct but doesn&#039;t justify knee-jerk, intense opposition. Certainly we should focus on what harm is caused to others rather than making moral judgments about users. But most of the drug policies are driven by a desire for public safety and not a desire to target particular classes of people. Even if some individuals are motivated by those ideas, that is not the intent nor the rational justification.]]></description>
