"why risk legal profits to avoid the relatively small costs of legally handling pollutants?"

Because if MJ were legal, it would be grown outside in the dirt. No need for generators to power underground growrooms.

You're brave. These threads bring out the dumb pro-druggies here at FReep.

However, in our favor, not a-one of them is a Republican. They're all Liberaltarians so the rest of us just ignore them.

I'm sure 10 of them will jump in and call me every name in the book now. But Liberaltarians get .5% of the vote, and JR seems to be quite sick of them these days (see the note where he wants to call FReep a Republican Discussion Group).

Another good point.

Let's solve the whole problem by making heroin, LSD, crack, meth all legal, cheaper, more readily available.

dumb pro-druggies

No fact or logic, just namecalling. Duly noted.

not a-one of them is a Republican.

At least one anti-WOSD FReeper is a longtime GOP contributor, as he mentioned in a post the other day. And I vote for far more Republicans than Libertarians.

Actually, in a thread the other day he called them "our friends."

Jim Robinson has recently asked for FReeprs to cool down on the personal attacks, especially outside of the Smokey Backroom.

I can safely bet that I have done more for Republicans, time and money wise in the last two election cycles than you have.

Is that why he called Libertarians "our friends" the other day, and supports most of the platform of the small-l libertarian Republican Liberty Caucus?

see the note where he wants to call FReep a Republican Discussion Group).

It's unchristian to lie. He floated the idea to FReepers and by about a 99% margin, they rejected the idea.

Nah, I think it would be better to execute the bastard who sell them, but not drunk drivers.

[dennisw]

My program is to try and execute those who push heroin, LSD, crack, meth.

Your program is to make heroin, LSD, crack, meth all legal, cheaper, more readily available. So you want to kill more users while I want to have the pushers killed (trial + execution)

[MrLeRoy]

My program is to try and execute those who push heroin, LSD, crack, meth.

That wouldn't make a significant difference. Dealers now face an imminent threat of death from competitors or twitchy customers, yet they continue dealing, and when one dies or is arrested another springs up to take his place.

Your program is to make heroin, LSD, crack, meth all legal, cheaper, more readily available.

Relegalization would reduce the following effects of the War On Some Drugs: deaths of innocents in drug-turf wars; deaths of users due to impurities or unexpectedly high potencies; enrichment of criminals; corruption of the justice system by enriched criminals; and lessened respect for the law in general.

Like hell it is. Don't assume that I want to legalize all drugs all because I disagree with your execution plans.

I still don't know why you don't want to execute drunk drivers, who kill much more people than drug dealers.

[dennisw]

You are pro legalization. So just pot and not the hard drugs? You're just a pot head?

[chance33_98]

"Plenty"? There's alcohol, if you're looking for a depressant and don't mind vomiting and hangovers. What are some other of these "plenty of ways"?

Like drugs there are varying levels of alcohol, beer, whiskey, wine, mixed drinks, etc. Yes, not exactly a plethora of choices, but you can choose your strength and flavor, as well as amount.

Who risks that---the dealer? He's not looking to get wasted but to make big profits.

I have no sympathy for either the dealers or the users. As I have said before, if you don't like the law work within the framework set up to change it. These folks are choosing not to do so. While they expect the rest of soceity to abide by the laws they choose to simply ignore them because they have no self control. If they want to do so to make a political statement, fine. But when you know the consequences, however wrong some may see them, and you go ahead and do it than you have no one but yourself to blame.

You want to end the wod, fine with me. I have no problem with like minded people gathering to change a law they see as wrong. We wouldn't need a wod if people who wanted to do drugs spent their time working within the system to change the law instead of running around breaking them.

I don't like the change in the abortion law. I am not going to go around bombing abortion clinincs, it only hurts the cause. Addicts who run around justifying their crime because of the high price of drugs, due to the wod, aren't helping their cause either.

People are willing to kill, steal, etc just to get money to get high on - do we blame the person who is doing the act, or do we take the liberal stance and blame someone else?

[jmc813]

You are pro legalization.

Quit lying about me.

So just pot and not the hard drugs?

I think the immediate goal should be to restore respect for the Constitution and end the Federal Drug War. At that point each state should set it's own policies. In my state I would like to see hard drugs remain illegal. I do think it's pathetic tht pot is still illegal though.

You're just a pot head?

You're just a habitual drunk driver?

[dennisw]

Cheaper drugs mean more addictions and drug deaths for you to get yr social Darwinist rocks off. "More oxygen for me" as your compadre hodar put it.

How's yr 50 latest posts doing? Have you been posting about anything other than drugs? You are a well known addict to the drug threads at FR. You got a jones.

[jmc813]

I don't like the change in the abortion law.

Roe v. Wade has about as much Constitutional authority as the Federal Drug War.

[Wolfie]

Because if MJ were legal, it would be grown outside in the dirt.

You mean like this?

[dennisw]

In my state I would like to see hard drugs remain illegal.......

That's where you part company with Leroy who seems to have gotten unstoned enough to recover his FR password.

[jmc813]

How's yr 50 latest posts doing?

How's yr spelling doing?

A high electric bill supposedly attracts DEA attention so that's probably why they are turning to diesel generators.

Unintended consequences to the Drug War...
