And the next time you go to the dentist, oh no he cant touch that laughing gas, he just has to YANK out that rotter while you are awake and in full awareness of whats going on.

Yes we must stop taking all these drugs and let God *cough* nature take care of it.

Then you're an idiot.

Clearly I don't mean ALL DRUGS including caffene etc. Nit picky gronk.

I was referring to illicit shit, that I have seen people go down the drain with, even at recreational levels.

Marijuana is a classic fucking example.

Drugs a drug.

Its only illicit cause the goverment doesnt make money off it
and is too scared of the consequences of legalisation

Holy shit, you have to be joking. Consequences of legalisation?

That's fucking pathetic.

And not all drugs are the same. That's fucking rediculus.

Do you think anybody would pay $30 for a caffeene tablet?

keep in mind that people have, overdosed on caffeine, and some have even died because of it. so clearly, there is a potential for abuse there.

the logic of "well, the illegal drugs are worse because they're illegal" is very circular

Yes. And I know people who will pay $140 to get a hose stuck up their arse. And they're not too posh either.

Ketamine is legal as a horse tranquiliser. There is a giant line of ravers queuing in my vet's office everytime I go there to get my dog checked up.

Oh yeah? And lets legalise marijuana/other drugs and see how many people go off the fucking rails.

Plenty. Fucking plenty will.

If you wanna make gambling and alcohol illegal because people go off the rails with them, why don't we ban cars as well. People die from car accedents. We can resolve the problem by not having cars!

Capital idea, gronkus.

Both of you are remarkably fucking stupid.

What's your point? Ketamine is a RESTRICTED DRUG. It is NOT legal to inhale/smoke/inject.

you missed the point. the question is, how does the gov't get to say that some things that people abuse are fine, and others aren't?

The effects certain drugs have on people, and society.

And mainly, the difficulties in criminalising something like alcohol, or tobacco, which has been around for fucking ages in its place of legal status. It would be fucking hard to criminalise something like that because it will open up insanely huge black market appeal. And I realise marijuana already has a pretty bad black market appeal, legalising it would only spread problems like alcohol etc has.

The government is restricting tobacco and alcohol sales, and in particular, the tobacco problem is being addressed pretty heavily right now.

Um not really.

I said it was a possibility.
If caffeine was made illegal, then it would be more costly.
Your the stupid one if you dont get that.
