Drugs are legal. Prozac, Zoloft, Albuterol, Thorazeine, Stallazine, Alcohol, Cigarettes, I'll spare you the complete list you can consult The PDR. Specific drugs have been criminalized.

I'm already a slave to my boyfriend, my children, Ebay and my job. Just wish I could figure out how to get some benefits out of it! Ya, stopwhining, I hear some people actually get into the whips and chains thing. (No disrespect meant to anyone by these remarks - made in jest).

If drugs became legal, would any of you run out to try some? The reason why most people don't do (hard) drugs is because they've seen & heard about the long-term effects. A lot of these effects are from the use of bad cuts such as draino and other chemicals, dirty needles, etc. This gives way to AIDS, hepatitis, etc., not to mention the effects on the user. Ever wonder why street users look so bad but their movie-star and wealthier counter-parts don't?
If drug use is going to stop, it has to stop with people wanting it. Campaigns against cigarette and alcohol use have worked because nobody knew how dangerous these 2 drugs were. If pure drugs were legally available, and there was hard evidence that these drugs were dangerous, there would be so much money left over from the drug war, that each addict could have their own personal anti-drug trainer. Don't forget, the addict is the end user. It's what goes on to get that drug to the end user that has to stop. That's the corrupt part.

The finding by Columbia University's National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse and the American Legacy Foundation, an anti-smoking group, affirmed earlier studies that also found a strong correlation between tobacco and drug use among the young

That is the opinion of the law currently 12. My Dr, can prescribe, if I do it is illegal. Meds should be dispensed through the proper medical channels. This would control dosage and purity and reduce the number of infections among IV drug users which are passed on to the general (non drug using) population. It would save lives as one would be less likely to OD. The savings in terms of law enforcement, court time and criminality would be profound and it can generate revenue which could be earmarked for drug prevention, and education. I don't think this would encourage anyone to do drugs it would benefit society at large. The impact on my life would be nil as I do not drink, smoke or use street drugs at all although I am as I assume everyone is aquainted with those that do.

MAKING IT NATURAL
I'm gonna throw my grass out the window.
Crumple up my papers, too.
Give away my speed, 'cause all I'm gonna need
Is just a little bit of love from you.
And we'll be makin' it natural.
And ain't it just about time
That stuff I was so keen on
I no longer have to lean on
'Cause your love's enough to keep me high.
Now if any you heads want some Panama red,
All you gotta do is to reach out your hand.
I'll trade my stash for just about enough cash
To buy a simple golden wedding band.
And we'll be makin' it natural,
But don't you ask me how.
It's been the cause of all my sorrow,
But I think I'll start tomorrow,
'Cause I sure could use a hit right now.
But I'll throw it out the window, some day.
Give away my cocaine,
Bust my spikes and flush a million mikes
Of acid right down the drain,
And we'll be makin' it natural, makin' it natural...

Here's something you all might find interesting. If any of you get the CBC, they'll be doing a story on this tonite. This is from the Toronto Star.
Health Canada's marijuana 'disgusting', say users
OTTAWA (CP) — Some of the first
patients to smoke Health Canada's
government-approved marijuana say it's
"disgusting" and want their money back.
"It's totally unsuitable for human consumption," said Jim Wakeford, 58, an AIDS
patient in Gibsons, B.C.
"It gave me a slight buzziness for about three to five minutes, and that was it. I
got no other effect from it."
Barrie Dalley, a 52-year-old Toronto man who uses marijuana to combat the
nausea associated with AIDS, said the Health Canada dope actually made him
sick to his stomach.
"I threw up," Dalley said Monday. "It made me nauseous because I had to use
so much of it. It was so weak in potency that I really threw up."
Both men are returning their 30-gram bags, and Dalley is demanding his money
back — $150 plus taxes. Wakeford is returning his unpaid bill for two of the
bags with a letter of complaint.
A third AIDS patient says he's also unhappy with the product, which is
supposed to contain 10.2 per cent THC, the main active ingredient.
"I'm still smoking it — I would prefer better, but it's all I've got," said Jari
Dvorak, 62, in Toronto. "I think Health Canada certainly should do better with
the quality."
All three are among 10 patients who have registered with Health Canada to buy
dope directly from the government to alleviate their medical symptoms. Another
39 applications are pending.
The department was compelled to begin direct distribution in July, following an
Ontario court order this year that said needy patients should not be forced to get
their cannabis on the streets or from authorized growers, who themselves obtain
seeds or cuttings illegally.
The marijuana is being grown for Health Canada deep underground in a vacant
mine section in Flin Flon, Man., by Prairie Plant Systems on a $5.75-million
contract. The department originally intended that the product go first to
accredited researchers to demonstrate whether or not cannabis is medically
effective.
Health Minister Anne McLellan has said she opposes the direct distribution of
government cannabis to patients and that the program will end if the department
wins its appeal of the Ontario court decision.
In Quebec City on Monday, McLellan said she is willing to have officials from
her department compare notes with the smokers.
"We're learning as we go along and I'd be happy to have my officials meet with
these people."
The government dope also came under fire Monday from Canadians for Safe
Access, a patients' rights group that is pressing for supplies of safe, effective
marijuana.
Laboratory tests indicate the Health Canada product has only about three per
cent THC — not the 10.2 per cent advertised — and containscontaminants such as lead and arsenic, said spokesman Philippe Lucas of Victoria.
"This particular product wouldn't hold a candle to street level cannabis," he said
in an interview.
But Lucas declined to identify the three labs that did the testing, other than to
indicate they're in Vancouver, saying he fears the facilities might suffer
repercussions from Health Canada because they were not authorized to possess
the cannabis.
He also would not say how the group obtained the sample of government dope.
A spokeswoman for Health Canada said the department can't accept laboratory
findings from anonymous facilities.
"We question the validity of the test results because Canadians for Safe Access
has been unwilling to reveal who did the testing, and when the testing was done,
and under what conditions," said Krista Apse.
She said the Flin Flon cannabis had to meet exacting production standards and
was thoroughly tested for its quality.
No patients have complained directly to Health Canada so far, Apse said, and
the department will not accept returns or provide refunds.
McLellan said she would need more scientific analysis to convince her that the
pot needs to be stronger.
"We analysed the product obviously, independently, to ensure quality and
potency. If they want to share information with us, who did the analysis, the
basis on which it was done, I'm sure we could arrange for them to meet and
determine why apparently these different results have arisen."
Lucas, who smokes marijuana to cope with his hepatitis C infection, said the lab
results also showed that the cannabis provided at a Victoria compassion club for
patients registers at more than 12 per cent and is freer from contaminants.
He said the government cannabis was too finely ground up with stems and
leaves, calling it "shwag" or "bunk," street terminology for the lowest grade of
marijuana.

No kidding Helen. What an embarrassment! ...giving dying people low grade marijuana, laced with arsenic and lead AND making them pay big bucks for it to boot. All of this costing Canadians 5 million dollars, most of which goes to the electricity needed to light the place, when we're all supposed to be cutting back. What a sham!!
I'd like to try B.C. pot Kiara but they hog it all!

I GOT STONED & MISSED IT
I was sitting in my basement.
I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious
To get me through the day.
Then my friend yelled through the transom
"Grab your coat and get your hat son,
There's a nut down on the corner,
Givin' dollar bills away"
But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit.
Then I rolled myself a bauma.
Then I thought about my mama.
Then I fooled around, played around
jacked around a while and then
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
It took seven months of urgin'
Just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face
Up to my place
To fool around a bit.
Next day she woke up rosy,
And she snuggled up so cozy.
When she asked me how I liked it,
Lord it hurts me to admit,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
I'm makin' no excuses
For the many things I uses
Just to sweeten up my relationships
And brighten up my day.
When my earthly race is over
And I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been
I guess I'll have to say,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.

Dave,
You forgot to mention some the most potent legal drugs: oxycotten (sp*), vicoden, etc.
Alot of people get addicted to these without even knowing it.
I agree with the other poster. As long as people WANT to use drugs, they will be around. Sorry, but, for teenagers and others, getting high is FUN. Everybody wants to deny that simple fact. It becomes unfun when you are addicted; but intially it starts out that way. Thats why kids do it.
Adults do it because they cant cope with life day to day.

Illegal drugs are a bane for the world population. They promote pain and suffering for millions.
These "poor" farmer that grow the poppies do so for profit and profit alone. The money helps promote terrorism and organized crime. They are not just poor folk trying to make a living. They don't care a bit about the hurt they cause to others.
Remove them and their fields. Napalm maybe be an excellent tool for this problem.
