Topic: Drugs fuck you up, man - page 5. (Read 7067 times)

The worst is this trend making drugs from materials you can buy in your shop. they are extremely toxic and destroy organism in very small time

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, more people abuse prescription drugs than heroin, cocaine and hallucinogens combined. DEA officials also said Houston become known as a “source city” in the battle against prescription drug abuse.

"We were very concerned and I would say frustrated," said a Houston doctor, who asked not to be identified.

This doctor called Channel 2 Investigates after noticing a small clinic near his southwest Houston practice was attracting large numbers of people on a daily basis, prompting concerns about safety.

"It wasn't anything like what you would see for a normal individual going to a doctor for a check-up or an exam," he said. "When you have patients coming into your business you've been seeing for 35-40 years and they are saying, 'What's going on next door, I don’t feel safe.'"

Channel 2 cameras captured long lines of people waiting to get into this clinic, along with drivers dropping off several people at once. The doctor who contacted Channel 2 also contacted Houston police and in the middle of our surveillance, officers raided the clinic.

A search warrant filed in Harris County court read undercover Houston police officers were able to obtain prescriptions for pain pills and muscle relaxants from the clinic with little or no physical examination by staff. The warrant also said the clinic was "not issued a pain management certificate as required by law."

...In addition to the street level crime, prescription pills are also being viewed as a new gateway drug. The DEA reports 80 percent of new heroin users started on prescription opioids. Campbell explains heroin is cheaper than pills but produces the same type of "high."

So for this politics topic I wanted to talk specifically about the harmful effects of illegal drugs

Some people of course decide they need to use some drug or other on a constant basis. its back with your choice

If drugs were not legal or illegal, there wouldn't be any problem. Here's why.

People would grow and use marijuana.
Because they had marijuana, they wouldn't need all the exotic drugs that are illegal now, so most of them would never be invented.
People would have far less disease, because marijuana oil heals almost everything.
Without disease, the medical would be little, and people wouldn't be harmed by medical drugs because there would be few.
Without the medical, people would be healed by marijuana oil, and life expectancy would be a lot greater.
The drug war would be non existent, and many innocent people who are in prison would not be there.
Law enforcement would have far less excuse to invade peoples' privacy.
People could have far more enjoyment in life by smoking a little now and again.

Drugs don't fuck anybody up nearly as much as government and the medical do.

You're just a drug racist BADecker. Drugs have rights too! They don't have to stand such a behavior from you!

I agree with you that government profiting off of drugs is better than gangs, but how is centralized government a good thing?

education isnt enough to keep off drug addiction.. you should solve your problem with the help of an expert before starting to use illegal shits.. but goverments must take some serious precaution to diminish drug usage.. it must be banned in the whole world. countries must act concurringly..

No, what is a great idea is to take the money currently financing mafia terrorism and crime in general and to send it to the government.

I know you don't like centralized government but I hope you also believe it's still better to have government taking the money than the mafia no?
It's not doing it to give government money, but rather take advantage of the situation and take the occasion to redirect the money from crime to government that's all.

There's no problem in my country. I think USA (and Canada, because you are from Vancouver) had this problem for more than 30 years. 80's generation is crack babies, we can expect these conclusions because government had no policies back then. They want American people to sleep. If you educate yourself you wouldn't do any drugs.

Yeah, that's a great idea.  Do something because it gives more money to the government...

Yeah like the government doesn't already steal enough money from oil/alcohol and things like that. Let's legalize something just for it to be able to tax it...
I just don't understand lefties reasoning sometimes...
