truth for some .. who don't really know the truth.
This is the world of the individual.. and you don't get to tell me, or Marla, for that matter, how to live life.
Too right, I am in favour of giving druggies all the free drugs they want, any drug at all, load up, because it isn't the drugs causing the problems its the prohibition, just as it was in Al Capones day.
Blunt but quite close to the truth.
I really hate to lump all illegal "drugs" into one conversation, because there is nothing similar about weed and powder drugs other than they are both ilegal in Australia.
But, the biggest problem is prohibition, no matter how hard the idiots that run this place try they will never stop people using recreational drugs. The problem with prohibition is it is killing our kids and the dickheads in charge know it is. These kids dying at dance parties from overdosing on Ekky pills are doing so as they don't know what is in what they are taking, because some backyard asshole with the intention of making loads of cash is mixing those pills with whatever they happen to have. If drugs were regulated and the kids knew what they were buying and how much of it they could use without killing themself, like they can with booze, we would have a lot less deaths and a lot more tax in government coffers.
As for weed, We are hillbillies, the rest of the world is legalising it and we are increasing the penalties for its use.
Don't get me started on the revenue raising bullsh it of RDT, it is picking up drivers that had smoked, vaped or ate pot up to a week before they were pulled over. The cops are even admitting they are not impaired but are busting people because the law says you can not have THC in your system, talk about a fascist state. The law is an ass.
Before some idiot calls me a druggie, I'm clean,I have used Coke, and ecstasy in my twenties( I'm in my fifties) and loved kicking back with weed but I have not had any for years, not because I wouldn't like to, because I would, but because these assholes want to take my license off me if I get RDT and I can't afford to lose it or I lose my job.
I am all for an impairment test as we have with booze
But the current testing regime is pure revenue raising fascism in its purest form.
