:lol: this is a laughable awnser. You're insulting me now because you're losing your argument. But, to be fair, I will reply to your post. That's true, drugs can lead to disaster. But that does mean that certain drugs make people more susceptible to addiction than others. If you clump all drugs together then you create unreasonable restrictions. Look at alchohol, a perfect example of a drug that is extremely harmful in the hands of some, but usually safe. Abuse can come in many different forms, not only drugs. Any abuse is detrimental to the human body. Why is crack illegal? It is immediately abused, there is no chance for a person to use it in moderation. That, and there are absolutely no benefits to it's use. Your argument seems stupid to me, and most of the posters here, because that's exactly what it is. And no, I'm not high. Way to take a nice cheap shot at me. :P You are obviously claiming to be a burner, so why would you take it as an insult? Wasnt meant that way, perhaps you comprehension has been altered. It irks me that pro-weed people ALWAYS compare it to crack to make it seems better by comaprison. Cant it stand on its own merits? And you really are getting off point, what downside would legal crack have. The govt could pull themselves out of debt by taxing it and it would be a nice cap to a lot of peoples day. Your anti-crack rambling are detrimental to the progression of the laws being modified.I don't know where you're getting the idea that I smoke weed from, I've never said anything of the sort in this topic. :|
And yes, Marijuana actually can stand on its' own merits when compared to other drugs.
A nice cap to a lot of peoples day usually doesn't entail becoming helplessly addicted after the first use... :|
Crack has many downsides....I shall list a few.
"A typical response among users is to have another hit of the drug; however, the levels of dopamine in the brain take a long time to replenish themselves, and each hit taken in rapid succession leads to increasingly less intense highs.[2] However, a person might binge for 3 or more days without sleep, while partying with occasional hits from the pipe"
Stimulant drug abuse (particularly amphetamine and cocaine) can lead to delusional parasitosis (aka Ekbom's Syndrome: a mistaken belief they are infested with parasites).[7] For example, excessive cocaine use can lead to formication, nicknamed "cocaine bugs" or "coke bugs," where the affected people believe they have, or feel, parasites crawling under their skin.[7] These delusions are also associated with high fevers or extreme alcohol withdrawal, often together with visual hallucinations about insects.[7]
People experiencing these hallucinations might scratch themselves to the extent of serious skin damage and bleeding, especially when they are delirious.
constricted blood vessels; dilated pupils; and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Large amounts (several hundred milligrams or more) intensify the user's high, but may also lead to bizarre, erratic, and violent behavior.
Crack cocaine is the most addictive form of cocaine,[1]and it is one of the most addictive forms of any drug[1]
The intense desire to recapture the initial high is what is so addictive for many users.[2] Purer forms of crack cocaine will produce the feeling of euphoria: [2]tweaking can be reversed with one single hit of real crack. The memory of that type of high can cause addicts to buy large amounts of street crack, hoping for the real thing. even after smoking diluted or fake crack for hours, one hit of real crack will produce euphoria. Hours of misery or
There are a reason we have drug laws. Certain drugs contribute to the degredation of society moreso than others.
It really startles me that someone is so determined to legalize such a hardened drug. The drug destroys families.
