Look, it is 'my' opinion. Thats all. What i believe. I can't change the world but i do hope to try and put my point across to get young people to see the problems with drugs.
Alcohol is a big problem throughout the world too. But is is not 'illegal'. It is not the same as drugs which can fast track a person, in a very short space of time, to the morgue.
Well put Stewart...
I think it was very inappropriate, not to mention rude, to call Stewart a "druggie". He's clearly an open minded, calm and very rational person... must be the drugs
But I don't think we show berate KoolPc too much, the fact that this subject does makes him angry enough to lash out suggests that perhaps his life experience has lead him to form the opinions he has and everyone has a right to an opinion... just a bit more calm next time though hey? people take you more seriously then
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Anyway, this is getting to the point of kicking someone when they are down. I'm all for an argument on the subject, but KoolPC doesn't have enough of a grasp of the subject to do that, short of calling everyone who doesn't agree with him a druggie.
I think we can all draw our own conclusions now.
Cheers pal, I try.I think it was very inappropriate, not to mention rude, to call Stewart a "druggie". He's clearly an open minded, calm and very rational person... must be the drugs
Koolpc... The reason no-one is taking you seriously is because you are being ultimately so narrow minded that you are not listening to what people are bringing forward, for example, facts, figures, and even bringing to your attention that a council advisary board advised that an increase in its classification is the wrong thing to do.
Your simplistic analogy of what your STEREOTYPE of all people who smoke aside, why cant you acknowledge that alcohol is even a drug?
Did you know that if Alcohol was classiied as a drug it would be Class-A?
so you are effectively using a drug thats in the same realms of cocaine, heroin and other narcotics... the only difference... the ONLY difference is that theres a piece of legislation which declares that alcohol is legal whereas everything else is illegal.
I would be much happier if alcohol was banned and cannabis was legalised.
ever heard of someone getting messed up on weed and going on a mission to fight people in the street for no reason?
how bout jumping off something stupid? (make sure you are talking about cannabis here!)
okay, how about choking on thier own vomit from cannabis intoxication?
No? wow, strange that! you know why you dont get these side effects from cannabis users?
because the nature of the drug is to relax the person using it, to chillthem out and make them laid back. Its not a drug that makes you active, its a drug that makes you more inactive if anything. But there are reports that have proven the intake of cannabis highers the interlect of the user... maybe you should take some to try and help you with a decent comeback, rather than your so far very childish "druggies kill people and rob and steal and stuffs, and everyone who has experimented is now sitting in a block of flats stairwell with a needle hanging from thier arms"
excuse me for paraphrasing, but thats what you are doing... and i can guarentee hat many people around you in your life smoke, and you wouldnt even notice, and consequently dont notice.
something about your ineptitude towards users of a less harmful drug than alcohol perplexes me.

Perhaps... there probably are people that condon drug use but its usually people who are into it for some kind of spiritual reasons. Noone here is condoning the use of drugs just encouraging a wider view of the subject. Most drug addicts realy don't condone what they do, quite the opposite usually.
there are some beneficial properties of some drugs e.g. alcohol in moderation its actually quite good for you. red wine for antioxidants, and a little alcohol in general is good for those who suffer from a condition where you get lots of little strokes (the name of which I forget), as it thins the blood. Derivatives of cannbis encourage appetite and might be useful for those with eating disorders, its also quite good for some kinds of MS as well.
Key word here is "MODERATION"
Its when people abuse drugs that problems begin, and thats down to the person more than the drug. People use drugs as a crutch...

HEXUS FOLDING TEAM It's EASY
Well, i have had my say. I am against all illegal drugs and anything i say on here is just me ranting on. Yes, alcohol is a drug as is smoking. All i care about is that young people are educated in the right way about drugs and not influenced to try them because some people say they do no harm etc etc etc.
Fair enough...
Provide kids with all the facts then they can make the decision for themselves, should be the same for all drugs.
In the meantime alcohol is being advertised, and young people think its cool to get utterly munted on it every weekend... yet its legal and socially acceptable, crazy world we live in.
If I went out right now, and bought £180 worth of high grade "killer" skunk and £180 of whiskey and tried to consume either stash all in one day the whiskey would put me in hospital possibly even the morgue, the skunk would send me to sleep on the sofa. Even opiates like heroin or morphine if administered safely (with clean needles and no contamination of the drug it's self) do very little harm to the body, its prohibition because of small minded people that makes drugs more dangerous than they could be.
I'm gonna go ahead and quote myself from a thread a while back on a very similar subject (mainly because I've got better things to do than type out the same post again) I understand you've formed your opinion, but theres a distinct lack of fact and way too much in the way of stereotypes and supposition there from what I've read.
