Yeah, but all that aside... we really don't want freedom and liberty. Those are outmoded concepts and the Government needs these unConstitutional powers for our OWN good. Can't have people doing damage to themselves as through the Butterfly effect, it kills polar bears.

Think of the bears. Keep pot illegal.

... They continue on to more drugs because pot triggers the pleasures that lower drugs don't. And eventually, the user can go 'wait, I want more!' ...

I think it depends upon the personality of the user. Some people are more prone to addiction than others.

I've known people that used pot that have not continued nor did they go on to use harder drugs.

I've also known people who became addicts.

Good little Nanny Statist. Advocate MORE power for governmnet! Thank you for your support.

"At DEA, our mission is to fight drug trafficking in order to make drug abuse the most expensive, unpleasant, risky, and disreputable form of recreation a person could have. If drug users aren't worried about their health, or the health and welfare of those who depend on them, they should at least worry about the likelihood of getting caught. Not only do tough drug enforcement policies work, but I might add that having no government policy, as many are suggesting today, is in fact a policy, one that will reap a whirlwind of crime and social decay."
Donnie Marshall - Administrator of the DEA

In post 19, the poster advocated BIGGER guns for the DEA. All the better to kill pot users sitting in their basements getting stoned before they do something really horrible... like order pizza...

Sure. Why not. Darwin is long over due for a good housecleaning and meth kills pretty quickly. Especially if said meth-head comes around trying to jack my car. 12ga retirement.

But this isn't about that... we are here to cheer on the Drug Warriors! Bigger guns. More guns. More no-knock raids and warrentless searches.

We weren't using our Rights anyways... but if it keeps one college student from toking up, it's worth the trillions spent.

Okay.

But I'd give five dollars to find out what prompted you to react so strongly to what I wrote.

Actually, I tried pot a couple times as a kid... but 25 years later the strongest drug I imbibe in is Glenfiddiche scotch on occassion.

This has a lot less to do with individual drug use and more to do with an unConstitutional expansion of government power.

But, since you nanny state types are immune to logic, back to sarcasm...

Yea Drug War! Let's go kill some more dopers...

Giving DEA guys bigger guns does not give more power to the government.

It simply makes it a more attractive place to work.

[Dead Corpse]

No. Idiot. Serial killers do DIRECT harm to another individual. There is no such direct harm to others with individual drug use.

Nice try though. Too bad thousands of others have used the same lame argument before.

The Feds know as do many other countries.

How many guys have been high on pot and then beat their wives/girlfriends versus how many guys who have been drunk and beat their wives/girlfriends? I'm not a drug or alcohol user, but I've known people who have and pot seems to either make them 'happy' or 'peaceful' but never violent. Alcohol, on the otehr hand, can bring out one's worst demons. I do agree that pot is a great demotivator. But for medical purposes, it can keep people on chemo eating. I have family members and know people with MS and pot does offer relief from the constant pain, amongst other relieved symptoms, this disease inflicts, pain which doesn't respond to most other pain killers.
