I don't know any potheads that would invade someone's home and steal money to buy a bag of weed, either.  Maybe that's because the quality of pothead I know isn't the norm...I admit I don't know a lot of people and I don't get out much in the world, but the ones I know, are the type that just want to be mellow, get high in the comfort of their own home, and not bother anyone. I don't know anybody who ever wanted to drive high, either...they just want to sit in a comfy chair and think their mellow, sometimes deeply philosophical and sometimes dumb as a brick thoughts and not be bothered with having to focus on traffic or expose themselves to possible pull-overs from Johnny Law.  They don't want to waste their buzz by having to drive.

In regards to "Please don't tell me that as an intelligent woman you truly believe there should be no laws regulating drugs or that most people can/could control themselves using drugs like meth," I don't think people would CHOOSE meth if they had access to...oh, I don't know, actual cocaine?  Think about it...meth wasn't a problem when we were chasing down people for coke, and crack came about because coke was too expensive for the common man (again, because it was illegal).  I've tried all those things, and I'd pass on all of them for a Dunkin Donuts Boston Creme, and I'd pass on the Dunkin' for a single dark chocolate Dove's Promise, because I don't have the gene for addictive personality, although of all those things I tried, the coke was the best, but I realized at the prices they were asking, I would take my free trial and pass on becoming a customer.  It was nice enough to feel that level of confidence, like I could solve world hunger with one swipe of my pen to my checkbook, but not $300 worth of nice.

Honestly, I don't know if I feel we should decriminalize coke, meth, and crack, but I know keeping them illegal means the criminals control the trade and the price is inflated.  That is what we learned with prohibition.  Obviously, keeping them illegal hasn't solved the drug problem in this country.

My real problem is one of solipsism - I really don't know anything outside of myself, and I make the mistake of thinking everybody is like me -- and if everyone was like me, they'd choose the single Dove Promise (100% satisified with a small quantity of a quality item, as opposed to a large quantity of a lower quality item) and everything would be legal.

I need my own planet.

The perfect WB  

I must confess, my wife who is in the advanced stages of MS, smokes it, her doctor knows this, and approves, it helps tremendously with her muscle spasms, as well as stomach problems from some of the medications she takes, We just wish she could get on that list of people legally allowed to do it, and the government supplies it, but they are really hesistant to do this, well the higher ups dont have MS so they dont know what its like and how much it helps, DOC you would know a little bit more about this than most posters including myself

But then, it wouldn't be a planet of his own.

No....not that. Please, not that.

My wife has cancer........ and you totally misunderstood my post.

Drugs are illegal for a reason. I don't like them, or anything that they stand for. I don't even drink alcohol. To me, asking for a drugs related theme is as bad as asking for the other one's I mentioned. Hence the sigh. This is a site for making your computer desktop look cool, not for drugs related paraphenalia. Just my opinion................

***Bad joke warning***

 

 

 

Sounds ...kind of.... square  ?

 

 

If someone is in terrible pain...or faced with his/her mortality, pretty much whatever he/she wants is just fine with me....sorry folks, I've seen too much untreated pain, etc. in my 60 years. I've never withheld anything from a person suffering. Can't do it, never could. That is not a judgement on anyone's freely made/informed choice, however.

Love to you and the Mrs., Boxxi. Health and cure...and my prayers, of course.

Having nursed my own mom though cancer ... I can only say thank god that I live in a state of Aus where maijuana is decriminalised and that she was able to effectively use it as a means to allieviate the awful side effects of the kemo she woz going through.

I can also assure u also that my mom is neither a rapist nor a child molester and would never be in condonence of those actions through having used the drug.

 

Research has determined that a person can use marijuana for 37 years and pull down 100k per year, log hundreds of thousands of miles behind the wheel and operate heavy machinery .

The alcohol study had to be suspended due to real bad results.

Too bad the first statement doesn't take into account the lung damage and cancer caused by MJ....but....

GWB pulled down $500K a year as POTUS...proving that second statement.
