Schedule one drugs should be criminal.

Schedule One drugs are: "Substances with a high chance for abuse with no medicinal value."

Marijuana is, but should NOT be a schedule one drug.

Nixon threw it on the list when he formed the DEA as a direct attack on the hippie movement. Couldn't take away their right to protest and demonstrate, their free speech, or all the other constitutional rights that were being exercised to the point of basic mass civil unrest and upheaval...but he could take away their pot.

And I had the same opinion as your buddy. The one my buddies paid for was $400, so I wasn't gettin some disgusting 2 toothed chick, the chick was super hot and was working for a very reputable escort agency in Vancouver......if you can use reputable and escort in the same sentence.
Cocaine is disgusting and I'd never go near it but if someone offers me a few lines... Bring it on.

The thing with coke is that it isn't even THAT good. After the first few lines, you're just chasing that initial feeling and you never get it back. Then you can't sleep and feel like a piece of the next day.

You can easily see how someone can get addicted to it. After you've done a few lines, doing a few more just seems like a fantastic idea, consequences be damned. The negatives of cocaine definitely outweigh the positives. A dirty, dirty (and expensive) drug to be sure.

It seems to me that we're all talking about two issues here--occasional recreational drug use, and addiction--when drug use takes over your life. If we accept the premise that Cocaine is worse than pot because it is more addictive (and I can agree with that) then we also have to say that alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are worse than pot, because they're more addictive.

Drugs can ruin your life--denying that is silly. Some people can use them without experiencing that consequence, and that's fine. The exact same statement can apply to any number of addictive things, such as alcohol, gambling, sex and World of Warcraft.

I guess I'm more or less a libertarian in this regard--you have to know your own limitations and comfort levels. I won't ever try cocaine. I've tried pot, but likely won't again--but I won't judge people who make a different choice without walking a mile in their shoes.

so speaking of hookers and blow. tonight I ended up at a pub near me w/ a girl i know biblically who works there. Long story short, she's feeding me blow all night, im 3 sheets to the wind and I've got a 10 dollar tab. Quite OT, just wanted to brag that I took home my bartender female friend and got a bunch of free blow.

edit: i realise I'm not the best human being, but hell, free booze and drugs are hard to pass up

Seems kinda odd that you ducked out of the rails/ass binge to let us all know what's going on.

(key) bump

The uselessly named coca tea thread reminded me of this old one. So who's willing to admit that either of their answers have changed over the past 3 years?

Still no hookers for me, but my only time doing blow was with a stripper, so that's probably close enough.

I dared a buddy to go ask how much it was. He was grabbed by the collar and pulled inside the brothel. He came out after 15 minutes and said: "50 Euros"

I mean propoganda aside, most drugs, most people do not become drug addicts and their lives are ruined.

I just think a lot of people miss out on some really neat experiences because of the lack of truthful information about drugs, since anti drug organizations and governments would rather exaggerate and lie to you.

Sadly the truth is many prescription drugs are much worse/risky than many of the illegal drugs you all fear, but people who have tried things such as magic mushrooms, marijuana, extacy, etc.. Have had some incredible experiences that involve perception, spiritualism, and all other kinds of amazing things.

Not saying everyone should go out and get high, but damn, so many people are so absolute that an illegal drug is bad and we should only trust our government to tell us what to do and not to do.

Cause they really want what is best for us.
Drugs can be someone's saviour, and another's bane.

I have experimented with a variety myself, and never got hooked on anything. I have always, and presumably will continue to keep it to recreational use.

What got me into the experimenting was that there was a gap between what I had always been told, and what the reality of drug users is. Some of the most influential and interesting people in my life had been drug users, albeit recreational users. Some of them did have darker days, but at the time I knew them, they were some of the more remarkable individuals I had met. They are Insightful, compassionate, empathetic, and genuine individuals.

I thought to myself, "how can this be?" I had always been told that drugs ruin people, ruin families, ruin futures. This was in stark contradiction to what I had observed.

As time went on, along came my opportunities to experiment.

I can say that the impact of drugs on my life have overall been an unequivocally positive experience. I had some bad experiences, but the good far outweighed the bad.

Then again, not everyone would follow my template of use. Some people may not appreciate the result of drug usage as I have.

Despite all this, I know things can go wrong. I have never been up close and personal with anything to drastic, though I have seen it negatively impact many around me (though, ironically, the negative impacts have largely been socially or economically construed impacts). They had less to do with the person themselves than the attitudes and opinions of those around them.

Still, I do not promote the use of drugs. I do promote reverence for them, and dignity to those who choose to experiment.

Nothing pisses me off more than indignant and irreverent anti-drug propaganda. It is directly supportive of what has been dubbed "The costliest war in American history". And might I add, the least understood objective of any war in American history (not easy to accomplish...)

Buy into the propaganda, or not. Choice is yours. All that I ever ask of people is that they observe respect and dignity for those whose decisions are not their own.

Oh, and blow is overrated. A good time, nothing more. There are some exceedingly more interesting and "fun" experiences out there.

Though I have yet to chew the leaf in the traditional manner, something I wish to experience yet!

Edit: Whoa, totally didn't realize how old this thread was. Neat idea though, to see if anyone has changed their opinions.

I did blow once, wasn't my proudest moment

People who say they haven't done a hooker are in denial.

You take her out, buy her a expensive dinner, buy her flowers, you get home, she wants to thank you for a lovely evening . . . slurp

She's pretty much a hooker.

The only thing that seperates man from animals is we pay for sex all the time. The actual hookers are just more honest about it.

If she pays for the date, takes you home and gives you the giggity, then she's not a hooker.

Does that make me a man-whore since my girlfriend paid on our first date?

Giggity...

Having sex with a hooker lacks emotional involvement. Some men, believe it or not, don't take women out simply for the desire to have sex with them after. There is emotional value to what's being done, and so it isn't equivalent. Animals don't pay for it, but they also don't put emotional significance in the act and the partner.

If, on the other hand, both parties are just searching for sexual release, then, yeah, there isn't much separating it, no matter how you dress it up. However, the mere act of sex isn't equal to every other act of sex, even if some individuals would like to rationalize their behaviour by believing it is.

I've found it's totally dependent on the circles you find yourself. Working in the kitchen, I saw many many people do it. I've got many friends who work up North and they all tell me the same thing.

Never ran across it in my university days, except for my cokehead electrician brief roomate. Although I hear kids these days are more into it. When I was a highschool/ university aged student I most certainly did not have the money for a drug like cocaine. I was scraping together 10 bucks for a forty.

What about those of us who are good-looking enough that we don't have to do any of that, but actually enjoy the romance?

Its the myth of the moderrn man

1) Love is a lie, its underwhelming when faced with the survival/propagation instinct, which is basically spread the seed, no one gets out alive. I don't believe in the concept of Love being a real and lasting thing.

2) I don't really believe in emotional attachment in these cases, especially on the first wack of dates. I might really like hanging out with a girl, I might enjoy the company and conversation, the whold pounding pelvis action is awesome because both parties should feel better due to the releases of chemicals in the brain. But there's no emotional attachment until you have dated long past the sex date (3 is the standing rule). And lets be honest, that first time feeling out process when your both trying to impress each other is far better then the whole later on, I have an emotional attachment 6 months into the relationship thing.

3) And if fear is an emotion then in theory you should have a tremendous emotion attachment to a hooker, I mean she's a stranger who could be mentally unbalanced or addled on drugs or better yet wants to kill you and take your wallet. Or the fear of getting caught with a hooker by the police or your significant other, Fear is the ultimate emotion.

Sorry the concepts of love and emotional attachment were burned out of me with a flame thrower a long time ago.

Now its just about boning
