The people we used to see would think nothing of spending £50, £60, £70+ on an average night out. Half of their weeks wages / dole money would be saved for it and the price of a beer / vodka / wine makes no difference to most people.

Maybe employers / the DWP should insist on random breath tests before releasing funds LOL:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: !

I smoked skunk for about 3 years, but have now stopped completely. I've pretty much used every drug there is, so I guess my authority on this subject is greater than someone who is just regugitating the governements anti-drug propaganda.

About a year ago, I was very strongly pro-legalisation.
I though it was incredibily hypocrytical that alcohol is legal, but cannabis, MDMA and coke were illigal. Believe me, if you compare the 4 main street drugs like-to-like to alcohol, alcohol has the strongest effects, and brings out the absolute worst in people.

But when I spent time as a non-smoker around housemates that used it regularly, I started to change my mind. These people were AAA students at a top university, not your everyday druggy.
I started to notice that the regular smokers entered into a depressive state, and were completely devoid of drive to suceed. They all got pretty poor grades, and stopped attending lectures and tutorials. It was just too easy to get into a habit, and the smokers formed a culture.

IMO the only drug which should be legal is MDMA, and everything else including alcohol should be illigal. It probably sounds strange if you believe everything you have been told about drugs, but it makes sense if you understand what the pros/cons of each drug are.

I reckon we smokers could probably help the economy. Like by really rolling a huge mother of a joint, made out of pound notes and bonds and !!!!!!, and setting fire to it and passing it round our wasted friends.

After all - isn't that what the BOE is doing?

Well, recently some socially aware drug runners have been giving the fed lessons on QE and the helicopter drop:

Two narcotics suspects have been arrested after leading police on a wild chase, tossing out more than $17,000 in cash out of their truck’s windows as motorists stopped freeway traffic to grab the bills.

The pursuit began Thursday afternoon when police and federal drug agents followed two men who drove off in a pickup truck, Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Eileen Zeidler said.

The driver took officers on a circuitous route over several streets and freeways, eventually getting onto Interstate 5 at the height of rush hour. On the busy freeway, the suspects flung mostly $20 and $100 bills out of the truck’s windows before surrendering to authorities.

As the cash blew across lanes, motorists slammed their brakes in the middle of the road and scrambled to pick up the bills, police Sgt. Kevin Rausis said.
