Tbh I dont care if people smoke, just as long as they dont do it around me. I'd prefer not to get Lung Cancer than spend lots of time in hospital with Lung Cancer.

The only thing smoking indoors helps is when you pass literally feet from a nonsmoker.
Which happens more frequently than it should.

Lmao I am not stoping with my nature bit.

I have no problem with people doing drugs that come directly from a plant, like tobaco (which i dislike but accept anyway) and canabis based drugs. They are plants in an unaltered for and a burning plant seems normal to me. I do however have a problem with chemicaly altered/created drugs like heroin and methamphetemines. To change a substance so it will have a "drug" affect on the body is unatural, to inhail the smoke of burning plants is fine but i don't think shooting a drug intervenusly or snorting it is right. Last I checked the only thing that natraly enters your body throught the nose is air. That doesn't make acid ok because you eat it, it is still chemicaly made.

I heard that eating one of those ecstasy gums kills off inumerous brain cells. If you ate like 10 of them you wouldn't be able to think, and 100 would shut your brain off (correct me here plz)

I don't know much about extacy, however I heard there is a new form of meth that can addict you for life after one gram.

Well, for some--though certainly not all--involved, the drug trade is the only option for survival. These are people in places like Columbia who cannot make enough to feed their families through subsistence farming, so instead they grow the one cash crop that will earn enough, which is often a drug: in Columbia, it's cocaine; in Afghanistan, opium.

That isn't to say that people should begin buying drugs to support such farmers; that's like buying Nike clothes to pay the kids in sweatshops. Certainly they are better off in the short term, but in the long-term it only perpetuates the issue. Entire generations get stuck in a cycle wherein they are too poor to have other alternatives, but the alternative they have keeps them poor.

Ecstasy can kill you in one tablet. Depends on it's purity. normally, people add more 'crap' to it so it has less side affects.

Yes, but their earning a living. People have the choice to smoke, it's not like their being forced to. These farmers are doing nothing wrong.

If I'm dirt poor and I gota wife and kid I need to feed I will sure as hell grow coca or poppys to pay for food and other things. Why the hell should I not do the only thing I can to feed my family, concequinces be damned.

I'm trying to show you the farmers mindset here Master. Joe is right, the farming is forcing people to do anything. If you want to do coke or shoot heroin it isn't their fault. The demand is there so they are supplying it, if no one did the drugs the farmers would have no reason to grow the stuff. The fault falls only on the users.

Lol, as I'm reading this I see this 'Need help with Addiction? Non Profit Drug Rehab Refferal Service. Call us Toll Free. We'll Help Find a Rehab." thing below Pad's post :O

I agree with Pad though, the fault is mainly on the users for mucking up (literally) their lives and often others's's lives (sp? :O)

Pad that remembered me a hilarious quote from The Wall:

-So, why did he start smoking weed?
-I offered him a joint
-What? Then it's your fault!
-No, he smoked it!

I probably would grow drugs if I was a farmer too, but more people die from it than people depend on it.

Actually, most crap is added to keep everything cheap. As if it isn't cheap enough already :S . Here in the Netherlands (which is the largest xtc distributor in the world btw), it costs about 20 cent to make one xtc pill. They sell for about a euro or less, depending on how many you buy.

Also, it is true that one tablet can kill you, but that's only due to poisonous chemicals that have been added, or a faulty processing system. If the pills are pure and 'non-toxic', you would have to take 1.5 times your own bodyweight in pills before you OD.

In my whole life, I haven't heard of anyone dieing from weed. They just get stupid. You can't die of stupidity. (btw, I assumed you meant growing weed, since growing poppy for heroin seemed a bit out of your league :P ).
