Yes! Reminds me of studies I did in college showing a direct correlation between ice cream consumption and murder. As ice cream consumption increases, so does the murder rate.
Ban ice cream, lower the murder rate! -
I agree Sam (a theme lately
), that's stupid! My personality is one that doesn't do drugs or smokes cigarettes, and never has. I'm an artist, supposedly a profession that has the stereotype of "experimenting" with drugs or at least smoking, but I've always chose to do neither because that's just who I am. It had nothing to do with what activities I was involved in and whether they led to anything else or not.
What I hate is how people or agencies think they're going to win a "war on drugs" or "war on underage smoking" by taking the supply side away. Trust me, if their is a demand and the money to purchase it (be it cigarettes or drugs either one) the supply will ALWAYS be available. To get anywhere on these issues, they need to attack the desire to do drugs or smoke these cigarettes. If everyone's interest in drugs and smoking suddenly waned to near nothing, drug dealing and cigarette sales would plummet drastically. No money to be made, no reason to incur the risk involved (the drug trade). Nobody buying your product (cigarette companies), start selling something else.Comment

Yeah you can make numbers say just about anything you want to.
Operation Pipe Dreams was in the same BS theme. Lets win the war on drugs by attacking something that has zero impact on the real problem.
My opinion is they've simply run out of good ideas on how to win the war on drugs because it simply can't be won and there not willing to admit that.Comment

If you really want to fight the war on marijuana then you need to go after the makers of Cheetos and Pizza Rolls. Pot smokers will be forced to stop due to the lack of "munchie" food.

That's just silly. Everyone knows that if you want to fight weed you have to close all Taco Bells (the late night place where pot heads get their snacks)Originally posted by shartley
What is next? Help fight the war on drugs! A study showed that 8 out of 10 people who smoked marijuana also eat apple pie. If we outlaw apple pie we can help reduce the use of illegal drugs!
Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - TygerComment

I wish they outlawed cigarette smoking.
Since most states are dependent on the tax revenue of them and on the law suit settlements to maintain their budgets I'd love to see them make cigs. illegal and then drown in a sea of debt that they createdOr better yet, why don't you kill yourself.

Ah but the trick is stopping the supply. MJ grows easily almost anywhere. What gets the growing complicated in when you start culturing it ... stuff grown in the wild is different from the stuff grown by a person who is trying to get a specific "blend" ...
My point being, that you may bring down big fields of it, or take down whole hydroponic farms of it ... but all someone needs to do is drop a few seeds on the side of the road and wait.
Iradicating(sp?) a whole flora species would next to impossible. Not too mention you know somewhere, somebody would speakout against the extinction of the MJ plant ... and not just hippies

Ciggarettes are the nastiest things. They killed my dad, which made me hate em even more. Also, I don't care if they're "biodegradable", it's still litter as far as I'm concerned. The problem is, that if ciggs were illegal, that would cause some HUGE problems in the economy. Think about it. Thousands of people would be laid off. Gas stations and everywhere else that they sell ciggs would suffer anywhere from going out of buissness to just a minor decrease in sales. Then, we have all of these people without jobs that need jobs. They gotta get em somewhere. THEN, we got all of these people savin TONS of money. So even though....
more people buying stuff=more labor required,
it wouldn't balance out in the end. I would like to add that this post was off the top of my head, and no research was done, so some info may be false.

Yes, if we elimated the supply there would be no more problem. However where there is a demand there will be a supply. How much money are we spending now to "eliminate the supply"? How many drugs are confinscated? Do you really thing that the drugs they find are even one fourth of the amount that is out there? I bet even after the goverment has spent billions of dollars to eliminate the supply there are several pounds of weed on this campus right now, and although ive never seen any I bet there are other drugs around here too.Originally posted by Albinonewt
