But enough people lose the ability to make rational decisions when smacked-back, tripping, tweaking or drunk, to make it a dangerous social experiment.
I think that alcohol by far creates dangerous people, particularly in comparison to drugs like psychoactives... people are so out of their mind they really really are a significant danger to themselves if anyone else.

Alcohol seems to make people violent, psychoactives and addictions only make people violent or pariticularly prone to crime because they need the societies foundation of money in order to obtain their drug. Something that really is quite new to society (0.0001% range).. we are not adapting well as a society either. Seems physical addiction causes much pain and suffering needlessly because there is no proper system to A) give those people a way out B) give those people what they think they need. C) often what people think, people do.. not always.. but I particularly refering to value systems like mine and yours, they go out of the window in terms of meaningfulness when addicted to a substance.

I see what you are saying... mind altering drugs are exactly that, mind altering. A new set of variables apply. I think what you are trying to say is that drug users are irresponsible, and it would be very dangerous to let them to be members of society. Does this include yourself?

I think my point here is if you took away money there would still be
A) Alcoholism
B) Violent Alcoholism
C) Crime as a result of Alcoholism
D) Drug Addict use
E) significantly reduced crime as a result of drug use

This is mainly due to the fact that Alcohol is a particularly toxic drug. Unlike most or many of the psychoactives, Alcohol can cause paranoia, violence, and the breakdown of our supposed "values".

I believe that a lot of disorganised crime, i.e. we are talking about gangs here, although gangs seem organised, in comparison to large operations these guys are fscking porpers hell they ARE porpers, look where they live :P

Anyways, point being these guys are so poor they could never afford to smoke drugs in the first place, probably why they started selling them eh?

Now what if they all grown naturally everywhere? I think drug addicts would be content getting high of their clock at some ranch 24/7. I'm pretty fscking sure about that actually.

A happy addict is not only quiet, but has not a worry in the world. heh

Thats mind altering substances for you I guess

denialisback Reviewed by denialisback on . The root of problematic drugs I've been thinking carefully and long about marijuana and drugs as a whole for about 10 years, no not doing them, apart from mmj but I've come to some pretty bizarre and damning conclusions. I have noticed how a lot of gangs, criminals and/or underground networks distribute drugs for the sole purpose of money and/or the control that comes with it. Often the DEA and other enforcement agencies mistakenly identify civilians doing the drugs as offenders, I believe this not to be true, given Rating: 5
