Now. Does this sound like a stoned out doper just out for free grass to you?Sounds more like you just emerged from a stoned-out-of-your-gourd coma.
My reply on this thread is over a week old.
There are some fresher threads just posted today where I was zinging the druggies.
See if you can find 'em and let this one gather dust in the archives.

"Zinging" may be a fun way for you to get your rocks off but it doesn't demonstrate intelligence. If you ever bothered to examine the FACTS around the War on Drug-users, you'd see that it simply does not and cannot work and tragically ruins millions of lives.
Only a few "off-the-scale-libertarians" want to see a completely free and unfettered drug market. Most of us want to see the same sensible regulation of those drugs now considered "illicit" as we have for alcohol and prescription drugs.
Personally, I haven't used a street drug for thirty years and have no desire to ever do so again. I've been both an addict and a counsellor of addicts, so I've seen all sides of the issue, including the deaths of friends. Drug use IS a problem! BUT, we need a sensible system that actually works WITH human nature, not AGAINST it. We must elicit respect for the law and societal mores while de-glamorizing drug use by removing it from the fringes. Doing so can solve the problem without creating even larger ones.
