    Keeping drugs illegal wont stop addiction. It actually just makes it a LOT harder on the addicts. When there is a demand there is going to be a supply and it being illegal, as you know, doesn't stop people from using it. If it was legal it could actually be regulated a little bit. There could be programs to help people out with this. Instead they just tell everyone how bad it is and keep it in the hands of the black market, then throw people in jail for it when they probably actually need some help instead.

    The world wouldn't change, the drugs are already here, they will never stop being here. This to me just sounds like exactly what they want the population to believe. When in reality they're just making money off of it and that's why they keep it this way.

    Meh, I'm just thinking about places like remote communities. Obviously you people have never fucking been to one.

    They lack even the most basic health services, let alone chemists and clinics. As I SAID it would require reform in so many areas, not just in legislation. Its so much bigger than that. The government hardly gives two shits about the welfare of these people as it is. All they do is throw money at them as if it helps. The issues indigenous Australians in remote areas face are many, and the government does fuck all to really help

    whoami, if 80% of the people are so high they can't work then there wouldn't be enough food to go around and we'd all die. Clearly this won't happen as people are self regulating by and large and still manage to function well, despite the fact that drugs are widely available to all and in some cases legal. Your post is mere hyperbole.

    As I said, I'm talking about places like remote communities. I'm not about to go and try to explain how they are. Sure, make more substances easier to acquire and easier for people to abuse, I'm just as keen as anyone else to see what happens when they're all addicted to opiates instead of alcohol and tobacco. maybe give them access to whatever sort of amphetamines they like eh?? Especially when considering how much trouble some of the more 'enlightened' cunts have managing their own addictions as it is!!!

    do you see the point yet?? I think yall need to visit an old mission

    Never made sense. but I don't think were ready to have all drugs legalised just yet. sounds like some kind of utopian ideal. but too many people are struggling with drugs that are already legal. like alcohol in remote communities. the cost to society to educate everyone on responsible drug choices would be absolutely massive. imagine dealing with a community where 80% of people are high all day and refuse to do anything else with their lives. the standards of living and quality of life would plummet. it'd be the worst thing you could ever do in some places, make drugs more accessible and with less convictions.

    it sucks but its the way it is. some places would descend into absolute chaos overnight

    ^ some guys were doing that with the crystal ball at Eclipse 2012 the morning of the eclipse. I'd never really seen it done before so I thought it was so fuckin cool. they were dressed like... leprechauns, or elves. or something. and their little skit was to fight with the ball and try to wrestle it off each other. then one dude would do all this tricky fkoating shit with this child like look of amazement on his face. it really topped off my morning cus I was just fried from partying the night before and still glowing hard so I could have watched their shenanigans for hours

    No he doesn't attract trolls, he's collecting them.

    Now he's got two.

    I really want a troll now. You're not going to outdo me on this PH, I'll have my own troll by the end of the month.

    You'll see.

    I have no idea why he's attracting/collecting them or what the mechanism behind that is, but yeah I'm trollin' for sure. The mofo won't bite back though, which is no fun at all dammit :P

    Oh unless you make some kind of derogatory remark about 'hippies' (which i could be accused of being one of the biggest, ironically)

    Sorry, my phone died half way through posting that, so the actual article I tried to quote got cut off somehow.

    I have no real idea Leaves. That article is dated to the 17th of this month though, so whatever is going on must be fairly recent.

    All I know is, they seem to have a pretty bad problem with drug abuse in Thailand. The drug culture there is a lot different to Australia, or so my friend who is in Thailand right now tells me anyway. He reckons its easier and cheaper to get speed than cannabis over there, but that doesn't really surprise me. But I've never bought or used speed in Australia so I have no idea what that side of things is like here in comparison to Thailand.

    I thought it was interesting anyway

    Just came across this, sorry if its already been posted:

    http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/asia-pacific/thailand/130916/kratom-bangkok-thailand-leafy-stimulant-drug-meth-opium

    As illicit drugs go, Southeast Asias leafy plant kratom is hardly ideal for thrill seekers. Those who chew its sour-tasting leaves catch a rush that nulls pain and jolts the senses like double shots of espresso. After about 20 minutes, the effects have faded.

    Yet media portrayals in both the US and the plants native Thailand typically depict a drug thats either mysteriously menacing or downright satanic. A headline in the top-selling paper Kom Chad Luek screams: Staggering kratom-drunk kid kills parents horrifically. Other outlets report tales of Islamic militants downing a brew made of kratom, Coca-Cola, cough syrup all flecked with the ashes of cremated corpses.

    In America, where kratom (pronounced krah-TOHM) remains legal in most states but stuck on a federal watch list, a Louisiana state senator told a regional TV news station this year that kratom could wind up killing a child or blowing a childs mind forever. An ABC News affiliate in Michigan warns ominously that what you dont know could hurt your children. Most reports casually mention kratom alongside bath salts, a totally unrelated synthetic meth-style stimulant banned last year by the federal government.

    But as America grapples with a kratom scare Indiana has banned it and lawmakers in other states hope to follow suit Thailand is moving in the opposite direction.

    Justice Minister Chaikasem Nitsiri is pushing senior officials to end a 70-year-old ban on kratom enacted under a dubious pretense: kratom once helped opium users kick addiction in an era when the government raked in lucrative opium taxes.

    In interviews with the domestic press, the minister has said the leaf could help wean Thais off meth, which has exploded in popularity across Southeast Asia.

    The legal status of kratom is now under review in Thailand. Theres never been a single deat
