Alcohol is a disaster and I think most would agree it needs more control.
The others are already regulated - you can't store 1000L of petrol in your garage just cos you think it is safe. You can't go make films of a certain nature and sell them. Etc etc

'War on drugs' has failed, say Latin American leaders.
One is for sure.
Take the best developed state on the planet, release free or cheap drugs and you will have disaster like no others...
you could do probably the same experiment with alcohol... and cheap alcohol is what is ruining Russia and other eastern countries at this moment...
you could obviously legislate cheap, available legally any drugs is Australia but that will not be in Australian people interest,
but who cares if that is part of that world conspiracy ...
if you could not won military conflict the economic one is the way...
I would like to dispel the myth that pot causes psychosis it doesn't. Lets be realistic here if it did every pot smoker would be psychotic & that's not the case . The latest study on schizophrenics shows that pot only brings it on 3 years earlier than if they didn't smoke pot . Understand that only people with the condition get it . there are two main ingredients delta 9 & canibole that get you out of it & the new hydro seems to have a higher concentration of canibole over delta 9. When pot leaves your system it leaves at different rates the delta 9 in 24 hrs & the canibole over a week this is why you can feel withdrawals if your a high frequency smoker . As a policeman said is not a very valid study its just the spreading of an urban myth. All invertebrate animals have receptors for pot . this is because we have evolved from the sea & some aquatic plants use the canibole as the chemical receptors in there nervous system & it seems that we still have it like all invertebrate animals . interesting note is that more 12yr old children in Australia have smoked pot than tobacco . just shows the advertising for the quit line seems to be having an effect . so legalize drugs would work to stop the criminal profit & advertising the harm that's caused by drug use seems to be working so i could see a combination of the two working
well, I've been smoking pot regularly since I was a teenager and I don't have schizophrenia...
and niether do I
