That would make an interesting defence in a Court of Law.

Just because something is illegal doesn't necessarily mean it is wrong or bad, but of course you still would face the potential of being prosecuted.

Why though is someone who takes an illegal drug a lost cause but someone who takes a legal drug not a lost cause? What's the difference?

What argument? I haven't argued once mate. If you don't start getting loose and lose right though we may have one. I came on here to get involved in an interesting topic not be lectured by a boring old wally like you. I'm off to watch the cricket, I suppose you'll be spending the afternoon puncturing kid's footballs.

In between puncturing kid's footballs he will no doubt be writing letters to the local paper about the council not repairing cracked paving slabs or similar.

The first is breaking the law. Is that really too difficult to understand?

Please remember I have never said people should not take illegal drugs, just that I dont give a fig if they do it and then die or get brain or organ damage.

Everyone. When you post your stories just add "No one died and no brains or organs were damaged" at the end to keep Uncle C happy.

I would rather they added "At this point I have no idea if I have damaged my brain or internal organs"

Morphine - good (legal when prescribed) - opium - bad (not legal, never prescribed but does the same thing for people in SE Asia who can't afford to see a doctor when they are in deathly pain) Are they somehow suddenly immoral or deserving of contempt?

The same could be argued for cannabinoids.

There's nothing wrong with Uncle C that a healthy dose of DMT wouldn't sort out. He'd have a different view of everything...and I mean everything...and none of this would be important anymore.

Which it isn't.

If you are directing your comments at me I think you have lost touch with this discussion. If you want to go off at a tangent carry on, but I wont be joining you.

That sounds like a case of blame shifting to me. A person has a choice to take drugs or not to take drugs. They cannot blame the law or broken society for their choices.

So you don't smoke tobacco or drink alcohol ? Bearing in mind these drugs are legally consumed by millions everyday - and kill many more people than all of the illegal drugs put together.
As for bad choices - never made any?

Dear, dear, you are taking it badly. Why dont you pop a pill.

It was more of a bored **** off, like when you shoo a fly away or you want a pesky dog who keeps yapping the same bark over and over and over and over and over and over again to go away.
