Were those not CIA trucks the Taliban used to transport their poppies to Eastern Asia in the 90s?
Fvantom said:thats something you need to get over. I dont know your history but Ive known people who have problems with drugs, if youre only talking about cannabis, you seriously need to get over that, real drugs are bad I wont argue with that, but the drug war has DESTROYED innocent lives over NOTHING! Theres people getting killed in Mexico because of all this.

"However, in July 2000, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, collaborating with the United Nations to eradicate heroin production in Afghanistan, declared that growing poppies was un-Islamic, resulting in one of the world's most successful anti-drug campaigns. As a result of this ban, opium poppy cultivation was reduced by 91% from the previous year's estimate of 82,172 hectares."
It is entirely possible to win. We just don't seem to have the fortitude to go through with what is necessary.

I agree 100%. If you decrease the supply, demand sky rockets, prices soar, and profits increase.
Hmmmm, sounds like something I said somewhere else. Nice sarcasm.SophiaGrace said:lots of people commit murder. People will commit murder whether or not there are laws against it. Thus the war on murder is failing and is impractical.

You are poisoning your brain to create hallucinations. Awesome work, dood. There's not much to debate about that.

It should be more heavily regulated. It is fine in moderation, but beyond that, it needs to be harder for people to be drunks.
******* cigarettes are legal and are the biggest killer in the world....yet Cannabis which has not been absolutely directly linked to a single death is illegal?
Your information must be flawed. And cigarettes should be $20 a pack IMO. Hell I would be happy if smoking was illegal too.
I seriously have to say...what the fresia. Hell, people die of asprin/caffiene ODs more frequently than Weed.
This information is comming from drug addicts who are totally biased. TOTALLY.
I am probably more likely to die from a ******* car accident than from smoking Cannabis. Its a messed up and completely empty argument in the "keep it illegal" movement, and in some ways have been losing momentum.
The "these are legal" so why can't this be legal argument is a good argument for those to be baned or more regulated too. LOL.
