Drugs! Drugs! Drugs!

Drugs are so ridiculously easy to get hold of here in the UK (which I imagine is the case in most western countries) that they might as well legalise and tax it. At least then we could cut the deficit.

And no, I don't think it would lead to the world becoming one big crack smoking ghetto. The US has wasted billions if not more trying to control the drug problem in the Americas over the past 40 or so years and has achieved absolutely nothing. It's probably easier to get hold of drugs in the UK today than it was in the 80's and I imagine it's the same in America. There's always going to be drug users, at least if it's legal the rest of us can earn our own tax break of their stupidity.

I've said it before, but one way to make the war in A profitable is to put fewer boots on the ground, buy up the farmers' produce on the cheap, and sell the products back home.

Alcohol is my only drug. I'm not a fan of OTC or prescription meds, I don't take anything, not even aspirin or decongestants. I assume pot is easily accessible, but I don't really run in those circles anymore. There is a high school not too far away, I'm sure some pot could be scored with little effort. It's not obvious that anyone in the neighborhood is an addict, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Lemur, sounds to me like you need to start a meth lab. If you aren't going to partake, at least make some money out of it.
