There is a huge difference between casual use and dependence.
How many people are addicted to legal pain medication? That's legal with a prescription of course.

Pilots taking speed after being up for extended missions is now on par with meth heads. Sounds just like the pot smokers throwing out all this supposed medical data to justify them getting high.

Go ahead. List the differences for me......


And while you're at it you can explain what medical data you're talking about.

I wonder how you justify your own idiocy if you can't blame drugs. Truly there are people that have failed you catastrophically.

Also, we never got a confirmation or denial. That you, CC?

Adult sovereignty over our subconscious. I don't need any other reason to justify anything that I do, you freaking fascist.

How about you try making an actual argument. Do you have a rebuttal? Or just a bunch of weak personal attacks?

Im not going to get into another discussion with you about drugs.....because youre obviously not going to listen. I will simply state that there is a pretty big difference between street grade abused methamphetamine and pharmaceutical amphetamines. Can both be abused? Yes. Can both be addictive? Yes. But to compare your pilot example and your "dont believe the hype" statement shows me you have read an article and know little about what you are talking about. Ask yourself this question (you dont have to post).....if an uninsured addict that abuses meth ruptures his/her aorta and racks up thousand upon thousands of dollars of medical bills who should pay?

There's my argument on the subject. Now im done with it.

I definitely agree with your last statement. However, Why do we pay to bail out banks and too big to fail entities?

On the surface we probably shouldn't, however my guess is because of the bigger picture. Does that make it right or okay? No.

Agreed, but a human life is just as valuable in the bigger picture to me. That's what we all have honestly lost sight of. We should save that persons life and give them some come to Jesus counseling. Not throw them in a cage.

Then why not sell pharmaceutical grade amphetamine? Why force people to produce their own?

And you do realize that right now, even with the drug being illegal, it's still the tax payers who'd pay for that.

If some junky (or anybody for that matter) has a ruptured aortic aneurysm, they're most likely gonna die on route to the ER. That is if their junky buddies even have the presence of mind to call EMS.

Plus my tax dollars are already funding everybody's health care problems stemming from (insert bad decision here). Why not meth too?

I agree that should be on the table of options to control their use. They are imprisoned for multiple reasons, works for some not for others I'm sure.

Does that seriously make sense to you (the tax dollar statement)? Im not trying to be a smartass just asking a legit question.

I wish they would make tomatoes illegal! It's ridiculous! All of these tomatoe eaters just think they can do whatever they want. You're free to eat a tomatoe, but I'm free to call the cops and have your sorry ass put in jail for it too!

And sure, eating a tomatoe doesn't hurt anyone, but we can't just get rid of all of our laws, right? Today they legalize tomatoes, tomorrow baby rape and murder!

Instead of tomatoes, you would actually have a more sound argument and more support if you said white sugar or corn syrup.
