Nice haul, Sorry for those who like drugs. 555

Shouldn't be sorry at all. So much death and destruction in the world just because these <deleted> like to have a little thrill. Stuff em!

Well im sorry but having been Hit twice in my life by drunk drivers while on my motorbike leaving medisfigured and disabled....i would rather they piled them up and burnt them,or stop the substance they abuse!

[Lucrative]

boom...

i have no idea what argument you think you've just won, but just stick with it... as long as your happy, eh

you should give yourself a nice pat on the back for your imaginary victory.

Like it? lol I'm not actually taking this seriously at all. ove jousting with dope heads though. So funny the moralistic high horses they take over pursuing an activity that enslaves and kills hundreds of thousands of people world wide in aid of a buzz.

And you don't think hospitals,rehabilitation centres and disabled living facilities are not filled with people who persue your drug of enjoyment....get real!!!

Good idea Pseudolus.

Next they should ban the use of condoms and pay HIV positives to go with as many working girls and kowoteys as possible ?

Why not a more moderate tone of conversation?

Sure - here we go.

So this booze argument. Lets look at some stats for that;

in the US, about 16m illicit drug users (so the US government says). Deaths attributed to drugs in a year? 38,000 in the US.

60% of Yanks drink booze. That's 190m people or there about's. Deaths attributed to alcohol, including diseases and other related deaths such as car incidents, 75,000.

Simple maths - if the same amount of people in the US took illicit drugs as drank booze, the amount of drug related deaths would be in the region of 1,100,000 per year. This number of course does not take into account the deaths of people that occur to get the drugs to the users but one can assume it would make this number higher.

Is that moderate enough?

What a poor arguement, an alcoholic takes decades to die from alcohol induced liver failure in that time they take a severe toll on their family, friends and society. Once they have Child C hepatic failure, pancreatitis or both they are a maior burdon on the health care system. Remember 70% of all people in hospital are there because of smoking and alcohol and 90% of the health care budget is spent on the last 6 months of life.

Alternatively a recreational user of ilicite drugs will die immediately from an overdose. Their drug use rarely cause major illness or disabilities and have little effect on family friends and the community. Drug addict have a a similar story except they usually turn to crime to support their habit and usually that crime is drug dealing.

You stated that. "Deaths attributed to drugs in a year? 38,000 in the US."

The Journal of the American Medical Association recently reported that As many as 106,000 deaths occur annually in US hospitals due to adverse reactions to prescription drugs that are properly prescribed by physicians that use them as directed by the drug companies.

Even worse, the National Council for Patient Information and Education reported that an additional 125,000 deaths occur annually due to adverse reactions to drugs that the physician never should have prescribed. In these deaths the doctor did not follow the instructions on proper administrationof the drugs. For example, Glucophage, a diabetic oral hypoglycemic, should never be prescribed for patients with Kidney disease or Congestive Heart Failure because it can cause fatal Lactic Acidosis in these patients. A warning label is prominently placed on the medication container to warn of this potential misuse.

The annual death toll from synthetic prescription drugs, both from the correctly prescribed and the incorrectly prescribed, amounts to about 231,000 deaths every year. To put this into perspective, this is the equivalent of a world trade center disaster every week for over a year and a half or the crash of two fully loaded 747 aircraft every day of the year.

However, if you looks at the stats you will find that the leading causes of death in the US are.........

1. (alcohol - liver failure and warnings for acetaminophen and NSAIDS) "... we [the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, HHS

Deaths from marijuana = 0 http://drugwarfacts.org/cms/?q=node/30

They ought to have a third party, weigh the stack, two or three times before torching it, some of the cops might pocket some of the stash, for future dealings.

They should taint the drugs with some really nasty shit that causes death, and then release it into the general population with massive warnings everywhere about what they have done. Therefore, anyone buying drugs will never quite know for sure if their next childish little kick will be their last. In fact, they would actually have to do it, just say so. Wonder how quickly drug taking would decline then especially from all the weekend warrior coke sniffers.
