Vulchor:Almost as bad a s the war on drugs-----I couldnt even imagine fighting a war on drugs, hell I have a hard enough time even being coherent when Im on drugs.....fighting a war while on them?? No way.
xmacro:$20 says that a lot of the same college kids who complain about secondhand smoke would never think twice about puffing on a joint. It's amazing how tobacco is depicted in most media as something evil that should be outlawed or banne, but somehow weed is depicted as misunderstood, harmless, and on the verge of being legalized.
alienmisprint:I think we should declare a war on war. I hear its the leading cause of death for American soldiers while deployed.

No way.D.A.R.E.... to stop the war on drugs.... DrugsAreReallyExpensive. gunna let my Libertarian show a bit even though i try to stay out of the political threads. Drugs are a Victimless crime. if i smoke weed, or heroine, or crack, who am i hurting? only myself. since i own my body, i am not capable of violating my own rights. if i hurt someone while on those drugs, it is not the drug to blame. it is me for not being responsible enough to handle my life. Im not saying crack should be legal, but it should not be as illegal. it should be treated not like a crime (as it is now) but as an addiction. the most successful drug policies focus on treatment, not law enforcement. throwing the town drunk in jail till he is sober wont get him off the sauce in the long term. a program that deals with addiction has a much higher success rate. how does my rant deal with tobacco? tobacco is a drug as well. i am not hurting anyone by using it. i am not violating my own rights. the Tobacco company is not forcing me to buy tobacco,* I am doing it because i want to buy it. *though there was this one time that Alex forced me to smoke an Armada.its cool though. i thanked him for it later.

In other words, exactly what the did to marijuana. Funny how history repeats itself

No way.Drugs are a Victimless crime.While I agree with the majority of your post above. I must disagree greatly with that sentence I quoted. From parents who are invovled in violent altercations around their children while doing them. To people who die from meth houses blowing up, or the fumes they produce which have killed people. To the crimes and poor decisions (or lack of decisions) made by people on them who can effect others................You can say this is the individual and not the drug, but saying that is oversimplifing a very complex topic and overlooking the societal and economic impact the drugs themselves have from production, to sale, to comsumption.
