Has Ron Paul used cocaine? Have you?

What about entheogens such as Salvia and Ayahuasca?

I see no problem with these as they can make you aware of unknown/repressed parts of yourself without being toxic or addictive.

Yes! It's a great feeling.

. . . without being toxic or addictive.

Or herbal teas, such as rosemary -
and even the amino acid protein mix at the health food store ?

Government - with enough propping up from media propaganda and advertising
to get everyone to fall into line -
would probably want to put a drug tax stamp on bottled water if it could get away with it.

Well considering that they put flouride in our water, and that it technically is supposed to be delivered by a dentist.....

You and Bunchies are stuck on a small island in the middle of the Pacific in uncharted territory.


You are on your 5th day without food or fresh water.

You are hungry. Your coconuts are all finished and whatever rations you were stranded with are all gone.

Will you eat Bunchies and fashion his bones and skin into a raft to make one last attempt towards escaping to civilization or have both of you die slowly of starvation? (or maybe offer your meat to him)

I'm a vegetarian! I would let Bunchies munch(ies) on me, if anything!

They shouldn't be criminalized. The only "crime" is when society plays down the side effects of some drugs, and overplays the dangers of others.

My understanding is that Salvia is something like a cross between mushrooms, LSD and even pot. Go ahead and try it, but be aware of the possible negative side-effects: paranoia, acute panic attack, permanent psychological damage...

(Yeah, yeah, there are people who use hallucinogens everyday and don't think there is any negative effect. Drugs affect different people different ways.)

I used hydrocodone (doctor gave me an extra refill I didn't need) after having my tonsils (and everything else back there) removed. I regret using it to see if I noticed anything different in me (nope...) because a dealer I know told me he could sell them at $40/pill.

Outside of that, I've tried marijuana and alcohol. Didn't like either. Marijuana smelled terrible, and the alcohol just made me sleepy.

Decriminalize everything, but don't expect me to care if you f' yourself up.

Actually, I believe that Coca Cola originally contained coca extract that wasn't cocaine. Refined cocaine is very bitter and any significant cocaine content would have made the beverage bitter too.

Btw, Red Bull cola has coca leaf extract in it.

Someone came up with a recipe for original coca cola syrup.

Kola nut extract
Coca leaf extract
Sugar
Lime juice
Molasses

On the history channel, they had a documentary about drugs, and about how it was COMMON to use them to relieve symptoms. Cola was a medicinal drink at first, and DID contain cocaine.

I LOVE that movie. Matthew was just creepy, though. LOL.

 

[Arklatex]

I wish more people used marijuana.

That's my opinion. I think it'd help a lot of people. I've never used Cocaine or any other hard drugs. Cocaine comes from a plant, if you want to use it's your choice. In Bolivia or Columbia, you walk into a nice business or a hotel and they'll have cocaine leaves sitting out for you to chew one, just like we have coffee set out in this country.

I think you shouldn't judge someone by the color of their skin or their culture but by their character.

In my experimental days, I tried cocaine, LSD, mushrooms, crack, meth, and marijuana. I don't regret any of it, but wouldn't recommend trying anything except mushrooms or marijuana.

"That's what I like about them high school girls... I get older, they stay the saaame edge."

"Party at the moon tower, everybody's gonna be there. You oughta ditch the two geeks and get in the car with us but that's alright, we'll worry bout that later."

I haven't seen that movie in years but it used to be one of my favorites.

I've never used any illegal drug.

However, after reading both sides, I think the guy who called you a "judgmental asshat" probably has the more persuasive argument.



The problem with judgmental asshats is that they think they are more intelligent than everyone else, and therefore they should get to decide what level of "restraint" should be put on the populace.

Unfortunately, these folks usually aren't as bright as they think they are and the state control they seek to impose doesn't work.

Here's a better idea. If you don't want to smoke a joint, DON'T DO IT- sit around with your fellow uptight asshats and smugly bask in the glow of your self proclaimed superiority (or whatever you do for fun). If someone else wants to smoke a joint, leave him the Hell alone.



Great, this "intelligent" person rants about the evils of drugs and how they harm society, yet probably buys the religious BS without ever questioning a word of it, and never even considers the damage religion has done (and continues to do) to the world- but that's another debate.

Try taking a class in basic reading comprehension genius. I NEVER SAID DRUGS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO DO DRUGS. That DOES NOT mean I have to approve of it nor raise my kids in an environment that says drugs are ok. I have no problem with people that stuff their fat asses with McDonalds. That doesn't mean I want go to lunch with my fat coworkers everyday to eat fast food. Oh and I'm FAR from a religious person. If I had to I'd label myself an agnostic.

 

[FunkBuddha]

Well, from your post it seems like you are saying that you indeed do have a problem with fat people and drug users. Maybe it's the way you're wording things that is the problem.

When you say

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO DO DRUGS.

I have no problem with people that stuff their fat asses with McDonalds.

That DOES NOT mean I have to approve of it nor raise my kids in an environment that says drugs are ok.

I can't help but think that you actually do have a problem with fat people and drugs users and I'm cool with that.

I think what you mean to say is that you disapprove of people that use drugs but respect their decision to do so. The same with fat people, you disapprove of them eating the things they do but you respect that it is their decision to make and not yours.

I could just as easily say that I disapprove of your lack of desire to experiment with drugs and eat cheeseburgers and be an all around health-fascist but I respect your decision to be so.
