One point that hasn't been discussed, and correct me if I'm wrong, well no, don't come in here telling me I'm wrong, who the hell do you think you are? It could send me on a Drug and Alcohol fuelled retribution binge and you wouldn't like me if I were...
Well anyway. The fact that Cannabis is Illegal is part of the attraction for te rebellious yoof [citations coming out of my butt here so go and have a look and use your own] and such things are the norm. Telling your rebellious teenager that they are 'Grounded" somehow translates as "Do you think you could leave by the window" and saying things like "Let's have a grown up talk about stuff" turns into ""Don't try and wriggle out of those straps, you might dislodge the electrodes"
It's the norm, perhaps if we put the drinking age back up to...
All they do is tinker round the edges, MPs don't have the courage to do a damned thing, perhaps they should try PCP?. -
I have a serious need to frame that cartoon, put it on my wall, and point emphatically at it when people ask what I do.
Cool, all those flashing lights and backlit displays. Do you get to say "Let's GO!" often?

My friends who went (and who don't do 3D TV or porn, as far as I know) tell me that the 3d TVs cause massive headaches
When porn gives you a headache it rather destroys its purpose doesn't it?
"No thank you dear, I have a headache". -
I was bought up to believe that a woman's place was in the wrong. My Father was one of those Blokes who used to laugh at his own jokes, the kind that war drags away and when there wasn't a war he left anyway (thank you Billy Bragg, those lines still make me cry).
I went to Pre Natal classes before my kid was born. They had us stand around in little circles, holding hands. One circle was the vagina, one circle the perineum. Me and the other guy there made up the last circle.
I still don't hate anybody though. -
Kyle, I think you missed my point. Harm reduction is not the driving force behind "The War On Drugs" and using it as an excuse to criminalise behaviour is not on in my book.

unbelievable. I just spent the last hour wring a HUGE-ass response to this thread and... I lost it. BUGGER!
Yeah, that short term memory loss is a bugger eh?

If we got rid of booze in supermarket shelves and 24-hour liquor stores, on the other hand, I doubt there would be a sudden proliferation of sly groggers and illegal stills.
I would beg to differ on that opinion, it would happen almost overnight. I, for one, would see to it.
;-)By being a particular type of psychopath.
Yes, a non mentally ill psychopath I guess.

Adults don't have developing brains anymore, it's all downhill for us.
[citation needed?]
And then you'd have to rebut This
The whole argument about harm is spurious, life itself is fatal. I would go on to suggest that reading "Your Views" was more detrimental to brain growth. in fact most "Entertainment" could fall into the same category. Just forget Cannabis completely and bundle it up with smoking anything else, cigarettes, pipes and cigars, tax it the same way, run quit lines the same way. I mean, geez, we used to get busted for a fag behind the bike sheds, now even teachers can't do it.
You cant even have a beer on the beach in most places now, why should pot be any different ?
Why should someone loose their job over smoking one plant over another? How come Office parties are virtually encouraged to be fuelled by C2H5OH rather than C11H15NO2 ?
All these questions and more folks.
I generally reserve a big Fuck Off for those that tell me how to live my life and this is no exception. -
