Explain how drugs are good to me. I don't believe a word of what the government says. Yet I don't do drugs because I know what drugs to do other people that I've seen use drugs and I know that just from seeing other people who I have seen do drugs that most drugs, if not all drugs, are bad. How can a drug be good if it makes someone so emotionally withdrawn from their family that they just spend all their time growing tobacco fields and selling them for profit... while at the same time making their brain dependent on the chemicals for the same high... and forcing them to keep using the drugs over and over to achieve this high?
Man-made pharmaceutical drugs are fine because they are legal and they don't cause an addiction. Most of the illegal drugs do.

I couldn't agree more. I don't see what the big fuss about whining about the government not legalizing certain drugs is. People can get the same effects of drugs from i-dosier (if I got the name right) which is completely legal, without any side effects, and they could if they wanted to live a drug-free life. But rather than live a life without drugs they complain about not having any.

What do you have against Jamaicans? I'd rather not put such nice people out of business. Not to mention, wow, way to stereotype an entire country as drug farmers.

Many pharmaceutical drugs are no good at all, they alter the mind to a degree that is not good at all. Anti-Depressants and pain drugs are good for this. Xanax and Prozac are defiantly mind control drugs. Marijuana is not a drug, it is an herb, and the NWO government knows that it opens the mind to clear thought, that is why they don't want anyone to have it.
The CIA is the largest drug dealers in the world, IMHO, and when the police arrest a street dealer, they are not after a criminal, they are eliminating the competition. The "War on Drugs" is a complete farce, and a great waste of tax-payer money.
The fact is, the human brain has receptors for each and everything we give it.
