RIA's stance on drugs

[Liberal8989]

I was just wondering what the member's of the RIA think about drugs.

What is your stance?

If for, against, or the use of some drugs over another state why.

[dester55]

highly against drugs. i dont want anything to do with them unless prescribed by a doctor

[Taladrea]

Weed, I am ok with as far as drugs go. But harder crap, I will not stand for. Especially seeing what it can do to a person via someone I knew doing them. *shakes head* Drugs like meth and E are evil.

[Liberal8989]

why are you totally against dester55

[Flask]

When you take as many meds as I take, you don't need illegals.

[cheeseaholic]

I think they should be legal.  If you want to take them, go ahead.  Not a big fan myself, though.

[Liberal8989]

you believe all drugs should be legal? why do you think that?
I'm not say that i don't agree with you Cheese because i do, but you should read this article.

[cheeseaholic]

Read it, seen all those arguments before.

[dester55]

why are you totally against dester55

I'm in health right now and man, YOU DON"T KNOW, YOU DON"T KNOW

[invincible13matt]

If it isn't prescribed to you by a doctor, you shouldn't be on it, unless its self-stuff within reason, like Tylenol or cough drops. People who take drugs alter their reality and can in fact harm others by taking drugs, because of what they might do under the influence of the drug (drunk driving anyone?) Granted, if all drugs were legal, most of the druggies would die out, but there would be more later. So I am against any drug that hasn't been prescribed by a professional or that is meant to be self-administered.

[wethepeople]

A little lesson that applies to a lot. If you have to hide it, or if the general toniclace says its bad, it is indeed bad.

But enough with the little sayings, I am opposed to drugs. Never tried them, never will. Last thing I need is an addiction in my head, and the last thing I need is to inhale smoke to make me feel better. No drugs for me.

Liberal, that page quotes NO sources whatsoever.

Try this on for size: www.hempfiles.com

This page quotes sources, and for everyone's information, GEORGE WASHINGTON GREW AND SMOKED MARIJUANA.

The drug war has NEVER worked. Ever since drugs were illegalized, the usage of them has increased. We need to do the same thing that people did with cigarettes, and EDUCATE people. The use of Cigarettes has dropped what, 50%?

Watch this: http://leap.cc/Multimedia/LEAPpromo.php

My stance , now, is that marijuana should be legalized, and our citizens need to be educated. However, I do not believe that marijuana usage should ever be used in a public place, NO MATTER WHAT.

All other drugs should remain completely illegal.

People die every year from taking Tylenol and over the counter medicines, but there has NEVER been a recorded death due to Marijuana.

Uh Shy, Is It warm in your house of lies?

Marijuania has more carcigions (i think i spelled that wrong) Than cigarettes. Its possible that all smoke related deaths could have been Weed.

Read the links I gave, please, and look it up. No one has ever died from smoking marijuana. You would have to smoke nearly fourteen hundred pounds of weed in order to kill yourself.

[DRUNKENKING]

people may not ODed on marijuana but they are many records of people driving with weed in their system and causing accidents. Weed messes with your head. Makes you hallucinate(spelled that wrong)It also messes with the chemical in your brain, slowing your reaction time

Don't give me BS about Wiki being illigetimate, because they are several sources on there.

[Ananegg]

I am againest illegal Drug use. All drugs (including nicotine, Caffiene and Alcohol) Are addictive All of them, even weed can be. Odds are eventually they will kill you, in a more painful and longer way then you'd otherwise die. Quite a few members of my family have died do to Drugs. There are no safe addictive drugs.]


However
I believe all currently illegal drugs should be legalized and regulated like Cigarettes. If you make it so people can buy crack at Wal-mart you put the Gun-welding drug dealers out of business and take the money away from the Colombian Drug cartels. Plus you get something new to tax.

[King Without A Crown]

I am completely for marijuana. As for other drugs, I have nothing against has, X, or anything low key. I'm against crack and heroin, just because crack addicts and needles are disgusting. I don't however any of them should be legalized, just because the only reason it possibly would be is for the government to make more money, and weed being illegal really doesnt make it that much more difficult to obtain.

Weed isnt a hallucinogen, its a depressant, it doesnt make you see shit, it makes you tired/drowsy, exactly like the wiki page you quoted says.

And Alchohol does the same thing. In fact, people are probably less likely to drive while high becuase of its effects. That's from one of my sources as well.

What's your point? You're really not holding much water here...

[DRUNKENKING]

Read the article. And whether or not alchohol is doing this is irrelevant. Yes there has not been ever been a record of Weed overdose. its the secondary effects that weed does to you is what kills.
