| "...and my favorite part was where you could be the TV announcer for a day... I got up there and said 'THE RAPTURE IS HERE!! THE RAPTURE IS HERE!!! People are flying up into heaven just like in one of those Jack T Chick comics!! Down here on the convention floor the republicans remain! They're waving money at God but He doesn't want them in heaven!" Greatest quote ever. I agree he's very intelligent. I used to listen to his spoken word cds at work. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| In Amsterdam, coffeeshop means a place where cannabis is openly sold and smoked. Thought soft drugs have not been legalized in the Netherlands, it is tolerated when used discretely. Hard drugs are strictly prohibited. The coffeeshops can legally store up to 500 g of marijuana and can sell up to 5 grams to adults over 18. There are many different kinds of coffeeshops in Amsterdam, some are relaxed, some more vivid, with psychedelic decor or loud music. Since people around enjoy, any agression will not be accepted. Also, it is not favourable just to hang around - a coffee, soft drinks and snacks are generaly available, only few coffeeshops have an alcohol license. You can smoke from your own bag, you just have to buy something. http://www.amsterdam.info/coffeeshops/ Legalization of Drugs Such an issue stirs up moral and religious beliefs; beliefs that are contrary to what America should "believe". However, such a debate has been apparent in the American marketplace of ideas before with the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920's. With the illegality of alcohol the mafia could produce liquor and therefore had considerable control over those who wanted their substance and service. The role that the mafia played in the 1920's has transformed into the corner drug dealers and drug cartel of the 1990's. The justification that legalized alcohol under Amendment 21 in 1933 should also legalize drugs in 1996. With the legalization of drugs a decrease in deaths related to drug deals would occur and also the price would lessen because bigger businesses could produce drugs at a cheaper price. Thus, reducing crimes that are committed to support a drug habit. Another drug that has played a major role in American society is nicotine. For hundreds of years, cigarettes have been a popular legal drug within the United States. Only through legalization and education has the popularity and the use of cigarettes declined within the past ten years. Physically, the actual consequences of using illicit drugs is much less than of using drugs like alcohol or cigarettes and the consequences will be diminished. Illicit drugs can and will be made safer than they are in the present system. In making comparisons, the best is to look at how countries are functioning that have less enforcement on drugs and what the statistics were after drugs were decriminalized. Within the last thirty years many groups have their attempts. The use of drugs is a victimless crime much like homosexuality. Homosexuals have fought for a great deal of freedom that is based on their basic human rights; the right to make decisions and act freely based on what is protected under the Constitution, so long as anyone else is not affected. Economically, the production of drugs in the United States would benefit the financial well being of the American government and people. Taxes should immediately be placed on drugs thus resulting in a significant increase in government income. The more money that government receives is more money that they can put towards the education of how drugs effect the human mind and body. Prohibition breeds disrespect for lawİenforcement; the agency that "should" hold the highest respect of the American society. Money spent on prohibition is an overwhelming figure that is not needed and is obviously accomplishing little. Those who want to be controlled by a substance should have every right to do so, because this right has equal jurisdiction as any other human right that has emerged from the sea of oppression and persecuted freedoms. http://www.studyworld.com/newsite/Re...f_Drugs-60.htm | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Only problem with legalising everything is that we will have physco high hobos running around stabbing people. Lets face it , it won't happen drugs are just too powerful. People are dying from alcohol you think drugs will be any better? I really don't care if people want to ruin there lives with drugs and alcohol just go in the forest and do where you can't hurt anyone but yourself. Just don't start a damn forest fire. As I leave you with restless liars and dealers on the take | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I think that there should be more strict laws to actually prevent people from using. Like, for example, making it a felony to be caught a second time with drugs any kind, any amount. | |||||||||||||||||||||
