I KNEW IT WAS 4 REALZ

what song you working on?

I got me a bucket o chicken and some cheese curds with your name on them!

...I promise I won't hit you anymore!

*uncrosses fingers*

Baby, why don't you call no mo!?

Today is finding me well, Mr. Fox. Hope today is to your liking too

Other people being hypocrites is often fine with me; I don't even see the value of judging them by their own standards - because even if they meet them, doesn't mean that applies well to others, and vice-versa: what they say may very well apply to others, and yet not to them. That said, I assume you are joking because as long as people want cigarettes there will probably be enough for everyone.

And so, why is the mind-manipulation of such substances so important to have? Some fans claim there's a level of creativity involved that's above any normal approach. I've even heard people claim that the best existing music is only because of drugs, and without drugs no good music would ever exist. Am I a moron for thinking that's complete bs?

So well said, I have nothing to add to your main message, except that I agree!

Okay, I'm far from expert on "light" drugs, but are you sure you don't base your support on "it was fine for me"? For example, marijuana and mushrooms are pretty unstable terms, because they are biological, depend on sorts and cultivation. Some are stronger than others, depends also on how they are produced/packaged/applied. Don't you think the line is too blurred with cases that really shouldn't be considered okay? Also LSD in combination with predisposition for psychosis could trigger it chronically. Isn't that better to be avoided?

When I read these threads and charts, I usually think to myself: "so why are people so tolerant of cigarettes and alcohol?", rather than: "so why are people so intolerant towards light drugs?"

Thank you! I think we very much agree on end goals, but kind of disagree on paths. On the way to deal with drugs (at the moment!) I'm really not convinced which option would be more helpful. I have very close friends living in Holland, and from their testimony, it seems the average drug usage in Holland isn't in any way diminished because of legalization. So I don't know. Sure, some of these substances have serious medical and scientific application and should be available for experimentation, but still I don't see the positive effect of neither hard nor light drugs on a daily basis, and so any policy, imo, should at least declare some opposition to drug usage (even if with no consequences).

Another part of the issue is that countries like Holland are already in very good socio-economic situation overall; people are well educated; poverty is not too serious. They can afford and maintain sanity within more liberal policies. But the same thing is not truly applicable in other places (especially where there's very painful poverty; which unfortunately still includes even the US). I liked this positive report from Portugal though.

I wonder if they put on a good show.

What really scares me is how many people are willing to rob a pharmacy for oxy. Even the legal drugs can be misused. More than anything man needs hope for the future and right now most feel helpless. So there is no where for those to go that really need help. Prison is not help. It just gives you a place to stay for awhile. And once you get out nobody wants you. Your just societal trash...

Thank you for the rep. I'd bow, but Shai Gar told me to cut that out.
Instead, I'll clap twice. *clap clap*

I told you I vanished. Went to bed a little earlier last night. Hope your day is going well so far, darling.

*sneak-attack snuggle... and vanish before you realize what just happened *

That's still more than I did. I started learning it on and off on my own when I was..14? then took it as an elective once at school a year ago. I try to practice and read on my own again, but it's been kinda hard to find the time for it lately. I am probably going to have it as an elective again during my last year of college.

re:rep comment: Oh you! ;D

I won't laugh. I will CACKLE. It will be a long and deliciously evil cackle. Maybe even more delicious than these cookies. Omnomnomnom...

Hey, waitaminute....

Dude, I could totally be a sumo-wrestler. Or a part-time blimp. Give me an assload of cookies and strap me to a bed or a chair for a couple of months.
And don't complain about that awesome metabolism. It might crash sooner or later and then you're going to have to get your butt to the gym like the rest of us

When pigs can fly, then what... Huh?
Anyway... You and your fast metabolism. I wish I could consume a never ending supply of skittles. Tsk, tsk.

Quiet, you! Canadian monies is real monies! Sing, little birdie, sing!
I had no idea he looked like that. Hmm.

Thanks for the +1.
Calvin and Hobbes is awesome.

still love you man.

maybe even a bit more now that you said that.
