WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Picked a random article, but this seems like a good summary. So... is it a good idea? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have to say I recently got picked a copy of a very similar article recently to look at. It seemed to go under the radar at the time. I agree it's a good idea. Needs to go further, in my opinion, with addicts everywhere given totally free access to their drug of choice. The addicts probably get shafted under my plan, but they stop committing crime, and their criminal 'bosses' lose 80% of their revenue. Then we cut funding to our enemies worldwide, and countries like Mexcio, Brazil, Afghanistan and Colombia get a much needed break in their struggle against corruption and criminal violence.

Because I don't want to be bothered by drug addicts on the open streets, bars and wherever else. How decadent must you be to allow legalizing hard drugs? Come on.... Why not legalizing guns to kids?

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Tue Apr 28, 2009 Late to the party much? SMH I recently read about it in the newspaper, so I assume the "issue" is still relevant. Sounds like a good(ish) idea to me. Sure, it gets rid of the drug lords but at some point you have to limit drugs like these. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

Walsingham Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The point at which I changed my mind was when a friend's father, who worked in the prison service pionted out that we can't stop people in maximum security prisons from getting drugs. What hope do we have of stopping regular people from getting them? They're too small, too easy to hide, and too valuable (so long as they are illlegal). For christ's sake, a hit of heroin now costs less than a pint of beer! "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Gfted1 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Ah Wals, Queen love you, but youre a nut. How do you think these "free drugs" are paid for? Ill tell you, by the law abiding taxpayers. I know youve never seen a social problem that cant be cured by throwing all laws out the window and having the general citizenry shoulder the load, but me paying for your (not you) drug addiction is not the answer.

Gfted1 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Sure, but besides the physical cost where do you draw the line? Why does every social addiction have to become the problem of the citizens? Why not give all alcoholics free booze?

Wrath of Dagon Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yes, it's very cheap to give people free drugs. You realize now you have to provide total support for a completely dysfunctional human being, who can't hold a job or function in society.

Gorgon Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Pure heroine or coke is a lot less dangerous long term than street stuff laced with who knows what, but sure yes, there are health implications. It's the balance sheet you have to consider, making drug lords and terrorists have to go look for real jobs, freeing up immeasurable police resources to go after real crimes.
