If the government were to reclassify drugs ....

[momoffuzzyfaces]

In the US they would need to include foods or certain kinds.
Eating too much of the wrong foods probably kills more people than alchohol and tobacco combined.

There is an old saying that says,
There is a place for everything and everything in it's place.

Too many people are trying to put things in a nice little box and separate them from the world.

No one forces anyone to light up, ingest, drink or inhale anything.

Legal or illegal.

make people responsible for their actions and the battle is halfway won.

This thread has really made me think. What is the government's purpose in classifying drugs? Protect or punish? Or something else.....

interesting thought....

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Ya'll are "jest" waiting for me to get into this aren't you. NOPE. I'm in too much trouble as it is

Here! Here! Richard...no one will take responsibility for their actions anymore.

I am one of the wackos that think that all drugs should be made legal and have a bit of social Darwinism...those who are going to use drugs are going to use them legal or not and those who are trying them because it's the thrill of not getting caught won't bother.

If we do legalize it, slap huge luxury taxes on them. If they are legal it's going to be cleaner and "safer." Just my opinion.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I think I'm with you Mugsy until you get to the huge luxury tax. If I need my drugs and the drugs are too expensive, won't I have to knock someone over the head in order to get the money to pay the big tax?

Yes, we are!!

I'm all for legalization of some drugs for one simple reason:

Put 50 people in a room with a keg of beer.

Put 50 people in a room with a comparative amount of marjiuana.

Which room are you more likely to need to call the police to break up a fight?

You've got a very good point there!

I think I'm with you Mugsy ... until you get to the huge luxury tax.

I definately agree with that!

[mugsy]

Well, I'm talking about the "recreational" drugs...not prescription drugs...drugs like coke, or crack, or crank, meth, heroin, LSD....etc...not Previcid etc...there must be a way to keep them separate...but, not being a politician, I'm just not sure how to accomplish it! lol
