The War on Drugs is a price support system for terrorists and drug pushers. It turns ordinary, cheap plants like marijuana and poppies into fantastically lucrative black market products. Without the War on Drugs, the financial engine that fuels terrorist organizations would sputter to a halt.

What an ass. He needs to learn some history. Britain just about destroyed the Chinese empire by supplying them with all the Opium they could want.

It is not the responsibility of the government or the legal system to protect a citizen from himself

Only an ignorant ass would think that drug use affects only the user.

You mean other than the obvious fact that no dopehead thinks that way?

You sound like an expert on the subject.

Why don't you enlighten us with your wisdom?

Maybe you should try debating the facts instead of name calling.

Just a suggestion.

Did you follow me to this thread just to hurl slander?

Rediculous distortion. I have made many posts on this thread starting 7/30 before posting to you today. Besdes, it wasn't slander, it was a correction to your math.

Nope, sorry. The paragraph under the Bush quote does not include the word "medical". Like it matters. Bush STILL said that states should have the right to choose how they deal with this "problem", even if he meant only in the medical realm.

Is Insight magazine a Soros-funded entity?

Where can I get a copy of this ultimate pro-drug legalization agenda? Somehow, I don't think the U.N. has it.

Hey, you DID know you and the U.N. see eye-to-eye on the drug issue, didn't you? Wow... I could never agree with the U.N. on anything. Hmm.

"maybe they'll pull their heads out of their asses before it's too late, like I did."

I wonder. If pot were legal back then, would you have "pulled your head out of your a$$" and stopped smoking pot when you did?

Well, the solution there is to get rid of welfare.

Seriously, though, if you trade the word "joints" with the word "crack", it would make more sense. Everyone I've ever met that smoked joints, held down jobs and never took a dime off the dole. You must've found some extreme examples
of "dopeheads".

BTW, your phrase "how dopeheads only do it to themselves" reminds me of another famous phrase: "It takes a village".
Same kind of thinking: We cannot survive without big government guiding us every step of the way, and bitch-slapping us if we get out of line.

What about the idiots who think electing Kerry will automatically seal the border?

Did you have to take special gubmint upgrading courses to become this ignorant, or are you just naturally gifted?

Take your time answering.

Sorry, too busy. I have to log off now. Got a pile of checks from Soros to cash. He sends me one everytime I say that the War on Drugs is flawed.

Then, Wayne Newton and Yoko Ono invite me over and we plot world domination. We sip human blood from goat skulls, smoke alien drugs, and then it's off to the Virgin Room for some boinkin' and sacrifices.

The movement is being financially underwritten by billionaire George Soros. He is well-known as a manipulator of currencies who is sinking millions of dollars into the campaign to defeat President Bush in 2004. But a recent issue of the drug culture magazine "Heads" calls Soros the "Daddy Weedbucks" of the drug legalization agenda. He has openly declared that he wants to make most drugs, including crack cocaine, legally available.

The media conceal the fact that the state-by-state push for "medical marijuana" is merely the first step in the agenda to legalize all dangerous drugs. The media are helping this when instead they should insist that George Soros and those he bankrolls put their money into filing an application with the FDA and proving that their so-called medicine is effective for a specific medical use and is safe. Soros and the media are quacks pushing bad medicine.

... Spend a day with a drug enforcement team, ass, and come talk to me about how dopeheads only do it to themselves.

Drug enforcement team? Porcine pieces of $hit. Bullies and brownshirts. You spend a day without your head up your a$$, then come talk to me, hole.

It's up to the feds to ALLOW that research to happen, and they're tight-assed about it. The FDA doesn't WANT it to happen, because it might lead to results that aren't in lock-step with the mantra of "marijuana is pure evil".

I'm no fan of Soros; I think we should be more concerned about his attempts to manipulate the markets.

BTW, is everyone who dares to blaspheme the gospel of the War on Drugs, funded by Soros?

Posting Guideline:

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

That's exactly why you should be concerned by this drug legalization agenda by Soros. It is his first step toward turning the US into a UN patsy with a national police force and total gun control.
