Hi you have prob heard this all before but i have a proposal on at da mo i i think its worth recognising if u hav a few minutes Endorse Drugs In Rehab Its a Good proposal and would work well i also think it is more important than the other ones (though they can be just as good)so please take it a big vote and eventually (hopefully) a resolution

Could you post a copy here so that we can see what we are being asked to review?

Thanks.

Drugs In Rehab?
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.


Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Promote
Proposed by: Western Jinks

Description: No drug addict in the world can just come striaght off drugs. it's impossible if he could he wouldnt be an addict.
What I'm proposing is that if a REGISTERED drug addict in a rehab home he would have access to the drug he is addicted to. the drug would be in certain amounts and day after day, week after week his dose would become less and less until he felt no need for the drug anymore by then he would no longer be an addict. This is a long term solution and would cost a lot at first but would save millions in healthcare expenses in the long run. An added bonus is that we would buy the drugs from countrys that have economys that are destroyed (i.e afghanistan etc.) so there is an added foreign aid element to it. Downsides are military and police spending would have to be increased so that rehab homes wouldnt be broken into and drug shipments would not be stolen. You still awake? good endorse me i had to write this its for a good cause.

I'm sorry, there is just too much wrong with this to support it in any way. It's got real-world references, irrelevant language, typos aplenty, and no real proposal under it all. If somebody wants to pick it apart and try to turn it into a real proposal, have at it.

I'm trying real hard not to be rude here, but I must say that I would have been more inclined to give it a good looking-at had the topic originator written a more descriptive title, and used recognizable language in his initial post rather than AOL-speak.

Sharing Fris' sentiments, even after reading through it, that personally fighting drugs with drugs is absolutely ludicrous.
