Drugs

[Conley]

Interesting experiences...if you don't have a needle hang up and inject heroin directly I think you're dancing with the devil. I don't doubt that it feels like heaven. I once got a good apartment because the previous owner had OD'd and died so no one else wanted it

I get a euphoria with drinking and have my own demons involving it, don't think I could ever handle anything more than that in terms of highs and lows.

Captain: If the average doofus is not smart enough to handle recreational drugs, what is that saying about society? Why do the rest of us responsible people have to let that affect us?


Conley: Heroin is one thing I have not tried in abundance. One time I tried snorting it and it just made me puke and gave me this weird, deep itchy headache. It felt like there was a mosquito biting my brain stem. People I have talked to say shooting it is the way to go, but I don't do needles.


The way I look at it, people are going to have fun no matter how bad it is. If the U.S. government managed to eliminate all drugs on their list, people would just start huffing household chemicals. Starting fluid sure is fun. And cheap. But it's more deadly than many drugs, and you can buy it everywhere. Isn't it funny you can start your car with the same stuff they used to anesthetize people with decades ago?

In a way criminalization sort of shelters the drug world The prices stay relatively cheap because there's no tax. If drugs were treated like porn, you know-- legal but taboo, that would be heavenly but people would feel the effect of the tax.

The average citizen is an idiot, that's obvious.

But as far as I'm concerned, personal freedom stops where it criminally encroaches on my personal freedoms. As I said earlier, if you want to waste your life away by doing drugs, that's your bizness - but irresponsible drug use results in far more victims than the idiot who's killing himself, and that's why drug laws are necessary. Not to stop users from killing themselves so much but to protect everyone else around them.

You're referring to drunk driving. But alcohol is legal. In what other ways can an impaired person kill other people while on illegal drugs?

I wasn't referring to DUI.

Societal decay, broken families, crime, poverty, the cost of "rehabilitating" these people (who do you think pays for that?).

I'm afraid of needles so I would never voluntarily do that. It would have to a medical issue.

The guy died in the apartment!? ??? No thanks. I don't believe in ghosts but that's still creepy.

It was creepy as hell, I slept with the door open the first few weeks.

I needed a place badly and didn't have any money...there were no other takers so I got a deal.

Societal decay is caused by Justin Bieber, not drugs. I come from a broken family, and it has nothing to do with illegal drugs. Crime? Drugs are classified as illegal. Doing illegal things results in a crime, so you can't really list that as an excuse to frown upon drugs. It's not fair. Poverty is not caused by drugs, and I agree we are wasting way too much money on jailing millions of non-violent drug offenders.

You are indoctrinated with anti- drug propaganda. That is largely motivated not by personal experience, but by ads from Partnership for a Drug Free America. which is sponsored by the alcohol industry.

When you put it that way, yeah. I'll take a roof over my head with creepiness rather than no roof at all.

So since you come from a broken family not influenced by drugs, all broken families are not caused by drugs?

Captain busted out the logic on yo' ass! .

what about the rest of his points?

the booze industry contributes millions to keep pot illegal and fight state propositions

D, that was not logic. That was a hyperlink to a thoughtful article about cognitive error, which has nothing to do with the cause of broken families.

You guys treat drugs like they break people. Drugs are the DEVIL!



The opposite is true. Broken people use drugs. Drugs only become a problem when people can't moderate themselves. Life in moderation. People need to be taught about drugs, and moderation should be the number one lesson.
