E, them were the days

I still can't figure out why alcohol and tobacco are fine and legal, but cannabis and other stuff aren't.

Given the choice between confronted by a pissed idiot on a Saturday night or someone on an E trip who'd just want to hug me to death I know who I'd pick!

When they have a proper test for drugged drivers I think you might change your attitude there.

See original post. Easy to pick eh?

You're just showing a lot of naivety IMO.

Because precedent is set. That's the only reason, but it's a powerful one. For what it's worth, you can see that smoking might just end up banned in a decade or 2.

The thing with ecstacy is you can never be sure of what is in it. I know people who have been quite ill from taking it, I also know of people that developed mental illness after abusing it. Not worth the risk unless you want to risk dieing young and leave a beautifull looking corpse.

All the more reason to legalise it so we can all buy it at Boots

Of course I am Cyberman, of course I am. And you are not at all are you.

You have to bear in mind that CyberTory's entire experience of the drug issue is what he reads in right wing newspapers. Never has he experienced the joy of an MDMA rush or the mellow feeling of a spliff or 6

I know one guy who developed mental illness immediately after his first E. Apparently, it can trigger schizophrenia in people who've already got low serotonin levels. While his parents were concerned and fussing and rowing over him, his younger brother developed into an alcoholic.

I've heard that about weed... my mum is a psychiatric nurse and has oodles of evidence on the subject.

I was never a very good smoker... (asthma!) but I liked the smell of my brothers spliffs - I'd like to think I was mellow by association. That was however, until the little gobtulipe got caught with some at a concert and got hauled up in front of a Judge...
