When I said I support drug legalisation I wasn’t talking about something that was only backed up with a silly little argument.

If I want to ruin my brain, I should be allowed to. It's my choice. Why should someone make it for me? The laws against marijuana use are stupid and pointless. If you want to get rid of drugs so bad, try eliminating poverty. That will help more than a police state.

We have legalised cannabis, as well as various other substances, but we don't know what this has to do with the UN.

Rasters, you are a monkey and your proposals are not worthy of UN discussion. Come back when you can formulate a sensible argument.

There could be two ways to go.

One, decriminalize but do not legalize. There would be no production or distribution and certainly no advertising allowed, but possession and consumption would no longer be punishable offenses.

Two, handle it like tobacco, with warnings and public education, while allowing some ads and all the production the market can stand, with a hefty tax omposed.

Either way get s rid of criminal income, and reduces jail overcrowding.

This is stupid, and not worthy of being discussed by the UN. If you want drugs legalized that badly, focus on making them legal in your own country. This is utterly pointless, and I am somewhat dissappointed that something as trivial as this would be discussed in a UN forum.

Rep. V XX, get used to the disappointment, as this is the usual fare of our "discussions," though I use the term loosely in these cases.

DEAR GOD!!! Buy a dictionary!
When you want to make suggestions, at least get your spelling right, then people might take you a little more seriously.

I think by banning drugs we, the government of our nation are doing so in our citizens interest, by their command, and you can go take an fatal over-dose you drugged out zombie if you think you'l get the U.N. to legalise your little addiction.

Thank-fully, I think there are still enough of those annoying preachy nations I do text based battle with here alomst every week to stop this insanity.

ITS A ISSUE OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE PEOPLE, NOT INTERNATIONAL, THIS IS SOVERIEGN STUFF, NOT U.N. RESOLUTION, HANDS OFF MY NEXT GENERATION! I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO BE CHRONIC POT HEADS! I WANT THEM TO BE EDUCATED, TO RISE TO THEIR POTENTIAL TO GIVE TO SOCIETY AND BE GIVEN BACK TOO, I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE WONDER OF SPACE, SEPERATED ONLY BY RE-INFORCED GLASS, TO SEE THE POTENTIAL OF OUR GLOBAL RACE REALISED,

NOT SIT IN A DRUG INDUCED STUPOR YOU NINNY'S!

But thats just me, which, funnily, enough, sums up my argument quite well. (You know, it being a matter of personal, opinion and all that)

Still, in the word of an NPC from True Crime Streets of L.A. , influenced by the American drug culture I would in part think,,

"Step off, Bi-atch!"

:lol:

I tend to agree with Komokom in that this issue is a sovereign one and not worthy of UN interdiction. The value of mind altering drugs on society is always a subjective matter and tends to bring out the "free will" segment of society.

I like the idea of banning pot for minors and setting up some kind of program where pot is free for adults and govt. controlled with users monitored for any adverse health and psychological damage. This research would go to tailor rehab programs for those who wish to re-enter society as members who can contribute to the dangers of drug dependancy.

Actually, I think it can, in a related fashion, well, any-way, at my high-school a few years ago a guy in my year smoked way to much even by your average pot head standard, and then went on to do sport activities that day, and quite literally dropped dead on the oval in mid-kick.

The papers said it was a heart condition previously unknown to his family, but it was a lie by the family, every-one knew he was a heavy duty stoner and that him and his family new he had this condition which could be irritated by drugs, its was all covered up.

Just my 2 Almighty Komok Dollars, Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go forth and throw small pebbles on those who would ban gay marriage.

I think drugs are the best way for the goverment to controll the citizens and prevent them to notice how they are really being governed.

Drugs just carry more problems and we are tired of problems
Don´t you think so? :?:

Nope.

Way back before we assumed control the government of Enoy* banned drugs.

They failed to take into account what leads people o take drugs and why drugs lead to greater crime.

With drugs being bought on the black market we had no control of the price. You would pay much more then it was worth. People turned to crime in order to pay for drugs.

With drugs being bought on the black market we had no control of the quality, people died needlessly.

The government of Enoy used their war on drugs to hide greater social issues such as poverty.

We legalised drugs to help people. We made it safer for drug takers by introducing quality control and eliminating the criminal market. It also allowed us to provide truthful information to our people so they may make informed divisions.

:lol: The dangerous underworld element does not grow rich off pot.

Neither canabis, or it's god-awful hemp clothing cousin, will ever be legal in our homeland.

The Council of Enn does not believe in the legalisation of marijuana, but rather in the decriminalistaion of it, which the Collaborator explained earlier. Mediacl research into this drug should be carried out, especially to see if there is a way to imbibe the better effects of this drug without inhaling a very large amount of tar.

Wow hemp is illegal. That’s urm... odd. You do know that it can’t be used as a drug.

Well it’s your country.

i think should be legalised.. but not sold as tabacco is.

the legalisation of cannibis will destroy all forms of illigal cannibis drug trafficing if it is possible to aquire safe and un-laced cannibis from governement pharmecies and medical centers. This will make it easy to controle the sale of cannibis to users. The decrimilisation of cannibis will help addicts to confront their problems and the governemt can and will help these people to give up cannibis. Let us face it, cannibis is definatly NOT the most dangerouse of drug, infact it is one of the safest.. and it is criminal to smoke it!! Yet alcohol is actually by far one of the world's most dangerouse drugs and it is legal!! To this day no one has ever died from cannibis. I am not legalising it so it is available for everyone to smoke and take whenever they want or because i am a stoner.. it is because the way i see it there will be greater benifits to the people legalising cannibis rather then having it criminal! this may actually decrease the number of uses! If any drug should be criminal it should be alcohol!

PS. Read ben elton's novel "high society"- it is not a very good story yet it is exellent displaying the resons for the legalisation of drugs!
