there'd be no reason for cartels to not just continue black market sales.

This is true for harder drugs, but it doesn't entail the criminalisation of possession. This does nothing to actually help those who have issues with drug abuse. Should the trafficking of drugs remain illegal? Sure, I'm pretty neutral on that question. But even if we maintain the illegality of non-governmental production and distribution of drugs like cocaine and heroin, it doesn't follow that the appropriate response is to also gaol those purchasing it from these underground producers and distributors.

So what's the answer? Why not look at what the Swiss or the Dutch do? There's no reason making cocaine and heroin legal means it must be sold openly; the Dutch, for instance, allow heroin users to inject the drug with sterile needles in supervised, government-run consumption sites. This is a lot better than throwing addicts in prison.

And if the government were to openly produce and distribute hard drugs, what do you think would happen to their street prices? Demand would collapse.

life was easy for the users

Yup, landing in prison for possession of pot due to three strikes laws and potentially getting seven years in prison for merely having drugs like MDMA, LSD or magic mushrooms on you sure is a cakewalk.

He appeals to the white underclass in society, which is quickly being left behind.

Although, the first line of response to any statement like this is to ask why it should be illegal in the first place. Prohibition of drugs--especially marijuana--is just the wilfully squandering of societal resources.

Personally, I'm all for invoking natural selection by allowing worthless druggies to kill themselves on their substances.

I'm pretty sure you know that predisposition to drug abuse and potential for addiction is a medical issue, not a moral one. Addiction is a disease.

Django Unchained.

Holy fuck that was intense.

A friend of mine went camping with a bunch of his mates and accidentally smoke a joint laced with ketamine. That was also apparently a rather mad experience.

Now Salvia. Salvia is intense.

I pretty much wrecked him in Sapphire. Don't care if these SJW's consider me to be an asshole. They're retarded for believing that autism is the same thing as mental retardation and its derogatory to both.

I don't know why you feel the need to point our you're autistic so often.

You really, really don't need to.

I'm gonna find Verbatim and blow ecstasy up his nose while he sleeps.

What I would give to see Verb on E.

I don't really think any song could accurately describe this.

There is only one appropriate song in response to today's events:

Latest from the PM:

Prime Minister Charles Michel is speaking at a press conference in Brussels, in both French and Flemmish:

Michel announced that there will be three days of national mourning

Belgium wants to return to a normal life as soon as possible, he said.

Liberty has been struck at its heart, as it was in Paris recently, and was in in London and Madrid in the recent past, Michel said.

“It is a common fight, it is a fight without borders,” Michel said. Belgium is very mobilised to succeed in the face of this tragic event, which has struck us in our hearts.

“We are determined to defend our freedom,” Michel said will tears in his eyes.

or "fuck Islamists."

That's a perfectly respectable thing to say.

When large attacks start occurring on the daily, and millions of people are dying at the hands of Islamic terrorists, then maybe you could justify hating Muslims for the sake of being Muslims. But nope, not now. There's still a billion of moderates.

In the last 30 days alone there have been 123 attacks in 22 different countries, with a total death toll of 1018. That's 34 people a day. In November 2014, Islamic terrorism killed more people than all 350 years of the Inquisition. They have murdered more people every day than the KKK has since 1945. Killed more civilians on September 11th than the entirety of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. And during a single day in June 2014, they managed to kill more Iraqis than prisoners executed in the US over the last 40 years.

This is a bigger problem than Islamaphobia. Without doubt.

Unlike with Paris I'm not angry this time.

Just tired.
