But it can easily be prevented. P.S. I don't watch COPS. This doesn't even deserve the witty retort that came to my mind the instant I read that. Quote: Not really, the school's officer who came into our class on Friday said he's run into these people before. And he described it as a very frightening situation. I'll take his word. But these are real problems with the effects of drugs on people. I honestly see no reason to take drugs (other than medically) unless you feel like you're not cool enough, or feel insecure with the happiness in your life... Those problems can easily be fixed by going outside and exercising. Yeah, there are morons like that out there. But I very well implied this in my last major post: legalizing drugs will work like social darwinism. People who make decisions to do stupid shit will get their asses handed to them by nature. People who know to take recreational drugs in moderation will know how much is too much for them, and not push the limit, and therefore, not get eeked out by their own bad decisions. It currently works that way with alcohol and tobacco. (Though tobacco is chemically addicting, thus unlike LSD or Marijuana, but you still get my point: stupidity will kill itself off.) Classic D.A.R.E. propaganda: "Cool people don't do drugs!". Give me a fucking break. This is social propaganda intended to make people choose a side, and as they imply, the "good", or "cool", whatever-you-want-to-call-it-side. People who think they do drugs to be "cool" are part of the group that will kill itself off with its own stupidity because they will do anything (i.e. get stoned on a daily basis) to be part of the social group they choose. And that's not what it's about. It's about being able to make your own choices. Make the wrong ones, like joining a druggie group to be "cool", or making the right ones, like using recreational drugs wisely and carefully. Recreational drugs are for recreation. I will say the following one more time only, and even stress it with italics: Everything in moderation. Just like fatty foods, just like alcohol. Oy.
