Richard Branson for PM.

i like bransin, he offered me a job once, silly me I didnt take it!

I wouldn't take it either!

I will argue that till we walk through the gates of hell together. I am currently writing a screenplay and a book and some of my best ideas come with headsets on listening to a personal compliation, ripped to mars. The THC in gundga can and does act as a stimulant and intensifies whatever mood you are in when you take it. So if I'm in a creative mood it's a benefit. But if you're pissed off and you take it...

Drugs are not for everybody. But Branson's point is that governments are not in control of them, they just won't admit it.

Chook.

Father of 2 eh??

You are not going to stop the drug trade..Governments have tried & failed for 100 odd years..

Prohibition is always doomed to fail..People like to do naughty things..

People are going to take drugs..Whether it's against the law or not..Check any pub or nightclub on the weekends..

Make the government the pushers,& all the non-drug users gain the benefits via the extra tax revenue..

But that would require thinking "outside the box"..

Crap! in the nations capital, one can have; 2 dope plants per house hold, legal porn and fire works. What a way to spend a week end!

I have been saying it for years they should just decriminalise all illegal drugs.

Coles & Wollies could open chains of drug stores like their bottle shops. They could have specials like they do with alcohol.
3 grams of Columbian oke 90% pure for $35.00
Ozzies of the Northern lights for $25.00 stuff like that

The whole issue is a joke, Govening bodies have no idea on drug use. Alcohol should be the thing banned.

I would say more but I have to go & clear my nostrils.

Case in point eh?

Drugs should only be legalized for terminally I'll patients that need pain relief.

Rather than legally market drugs I'd rather a conscientious effort be put into educating people to get off them and not use, coke, heroine, crack, speed and grass.

That's the big picture. Stop the use. Just like we highlight the dangers of smoking and drinking with bans on ads, and health warnings, we houldnt make the legalization of illicit drugs, no matter how recreational they may seem.....an option or the focus of our energies.

Stop using. That's the message. Not make it legal. Because like it or not, no matter how well educated or warned kids are....if its legally available it's easier to get than it is today. Some may argue its easy enough today...true. Why make it easier.

Sorry....I'm completely against grass, coke, smack and anything else that is currently illegal. Grog and smokes is a different argument, and not the focus of this point, so please don't retort with that one.

And yes, I have experienced some of the items we are discussing.

[Guest]

He is a smart man Branson..I guess that's why he is a billionaire..

He realises that prohibition & education against drugs doesn't work..

People by nature don't like being told what to do..or be lectured to..

[Guest]

No. I would not declare to writing a sceenplay and a book (sic?) on a RL forum.
Also i would not have facile platitudes as my sig.
What other paradigms reward psychopathy? I hope you are not writing things to make money.......or is the reward something more honourable like love of knowledge or the belief that what you have to say needs to be heard????....some psychosis

Melon.
You make some good points & I agree with most of what you say.
I don't use, either. Never have, but the legal system is not working in cutting use of these narcotics.
I don't know of any country that has succeeded in getting rid of illegal drugs by legislation, correct me if I am wrong.
In places that have introduced the death penalty for supply and/or use it just makes them go deeper underground & pushes the price up along with the crime rate for users trying to satisfy their needs.

What IS the answer? I have NFI. I just know that everything that has been tried so far has had VERY little impact.
