First off, I dont flip burgers. I work at a office position in a corporate enviroment that requires a 4 year degree. My second job is a management position running a store. Oh did I mention I have paid ever single bill I have ever had myself and on time. So get a life. Great job you learn how to copy and paste. You are a fool and dont understand anything about it. Get a education before you start calling me or anyone else out. That article is a joke. I know plenty of people that smoke and that is bull crap. Do a little more research on that topic before you invade me. Its laughable to think it effects your sex life, you obviously dont know anything about it. Did you get this article from a 1950's southern baptist preacher? Experience it first hand then lemme know. I would bet $100 you put something in your body that is worse. Do you take asprin? Do you smoke cigarettes? Do you take prescriptions? Do you eat too much?

Aspirin kills 7,600 people annually. I'm telling you guys, this drug should be illegal, especially if MJ is...and liquor and cigs are not.

Just wondering, serious question. Is this number including those that commit suicide using aspirin.

I would imagine the vast majority of those deaths are from some kind of allergic reaction?

That is a good question. I wish I knew how to answer that. I do know alot of people that are allergic to asprin, and most of them didn't know it when they had a reaction.

I dont' know. I'm just wasting time at work today before the holidays and I am looking up stupid facts. I get two weeks off after today.

I would assume the 7600 number is inflated.

Ok, spend your time trying to get Aspirin banned instead of worthless drugs legalized.

I went to a braves game back in July. After the game I hit up the Varsity as always. I had this homeless looking dude just come up to me and ask me if I wanted any pills, coke, etc. Sure enough, opened his trench coat and tahdah! I guess he picked me cause I do have a Sublime and Grateful Dead sticker on the back of my Jeep.

Yup, used to live right across the street from the Varsity. Gotta love those homeless people.

Al Jazeera English - Americas - Mexico losing war against drugs

Wow, I had to go all the way to Aljazeer to get that bad news.

:detective: Here are some theories on drug use

http://www.umsl.edu/~keelr/180/theordrg.html


And I like the conflict theory the best.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Assumptions:[/FONT]​
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Two kinds of drug use[/FONT]​
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1. Recreational--Cultural Conflict[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2. Abuse--Individual destruction linked to structural inequalty and collapse[/FONT]​
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]B. Movement from recreational use to abuse more likely within impoverished populations (SES and drug use versus SES and drug use problems)[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]

No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.




I like that quote too.

A part of me wants to say legalize everything, forbid healthcare for conditions related to drug abuse, and let Darwin works itself out. Not sure how reasonable that is though.

Like that will ever happen. Instead, the taxpayers will get to pay for other people's drug abuses.

Oh I agree but just saying that the health care system would never ignore health conditions brought about by drug use.

Personally, I think all drugs should remain illegal except marijuana. Legalizing marijuana alone would save significant amount of taxpayer money, especially people put in jail only for weed type offenses.

If legalized what affect would it have on DEA jobs? Just want your opinion, could this be a reason for not legalizing? I am of the opinion that it does far less to harm users than alcohol does.

we still have an ATF and most of those are legal. I don't think the DEA would ever go away because the US will never legalize everything. This would just allow them to concentrate on other things

The DEA resources should be used to go after the hard drugs. Cost savings could come from the decreased spending to prosecute weed dealers and the fact that they don't use up our jail resources.

Alright good feedback I tend to agree. This makes too much sense though. The Fed Govt will never go for it.
