I don't think the Libertarians are all drugies, but I do think they have a strong drug using wing.
Agreed, although the percentages of hooliganism on the side of drug users far outweighs the percentages of corruption among the LEO's.
I don't know about slamming dope, but, otherwise: Founding Clause, 9th, 10th, 18th, 21st. Why do you need a constitional amendment to allow cops to jail people for alcohol, but no other form of processed drug? It couldn't be clearer that we violate our Consitition when we arrest people for consuming psycho-active drugs. The feds totally caved on this question in passing the 18th & 21st Amendments.
Any non-government-funded sources that can back this up? Is it affecting any other crops? Or is it just another in the long series of lies that drug warriors think will scare people into obedience?
To CJ: a generalization would be the claim that everything the drug warriors say is a lie. I'm not doing that. But I am saying they've lied so much that their credibility is minimal.
If they're not harming others, it should be a matter between them and God. It's none of the State's business.
You don't really believe that the illegality of certain drugs is in any way related to any objective assement of their effects on people? If you do, explain why alcohol and tobacco aren't illlegal.
Consumers of hot peppers alter their brains permanently. Make a statistically meaningful connection to severe known harm, and you have the start of an argument going for you.
I have read that in the past in several medical articles.
Now there's a well-sourced, devastating argument. How is it that the DEA's own Judge-Advocate Young, or the joint committee of AMA and ADA, while reviewing the heroin experiment in Britain, while making their sweeps of the available scientific evidence didn't stumble onto this evidence?
...and I'll bet they also all knew how to drive, and that driving was directly involved in virtually all violent crime. Does that prove driving causes violent behavior?
How do you know? I doubt that the ones who aren't hooligans are nearly as likely to be caught as the ones who are. (I'm not saying that you're wrong, necessarily, just that I haven't seen enough data to draw a conclusion...)
If the inalienable right to life/liberty/pursuit of happiness can be self-abrogated (as someone here claimed) --- blab, blab. --
Sheer bull. You can't name the 'someone' or show us your argument against, cause the claim, as you stated it, doesn't exist.
If it's in an article, it must be true!
It is a real concern, I wasn't joking about it at all. I wouldn't want somebody to get brain damage because of the soil pot was grown on so I thought it would be considerate to pass it on.
What do you think of the Libertarian/Green alliance?
