I have created this thread to discuss the impact of illegal drugs on the global society, as well as the true impact of drugs on our day to day life. In order to kick off this topic I have found a documentary detailing some of the effects of drugs on the average spider.

I don't think even drug users ever claimed they are good

nothing good ever came out of these drugs

they destroy peoples lives and increase crime globally

i thought the video was fantastic, and i disagree with ahmed, people do say they are good.

people say alcahol helps expand veins and prevent heart desiese
doctors prescibe medical marijuana
and... heres an article if you need more convincing

Making drugs illegal isn't worth the trouble of enforcing it.

Alcohol and drugs are also what cause people to commit crimes ... their a societal hazard

Alcohol destroying your liver and taking you out of your senses is worst than some theories about it being a vasodilator

marijuana has limited medical use

yeah, thats a similar veiwpoint to the one i take sayf, but i think a person needs a disposition towards crime before drugs or alcohol causes crime.
A law abiding man wont rob a store because he takes a drink.

and i am very skeptical about the positive effects of alcohol, The problem is these drugs cause complex reactions in the body, but i believe science can isolate the desirable effects and put them to good use.

Medicinal marijuana is a sham and it's a shame anyone even thinks it is "medicinal" in the slightest. The only thing it does is get rid of your nausea.

What is one of the highest driving factors for crime Steve?

Greed Ahmed.

What about drunk driving? Most of the time drunk drivers hurt or even kill the people they hit while drunk. Do they have a deposition to strike people with their vehicles?

A law abiding man who is intoxicated is unpredictable and can do anything since he's not in his senses

And we're talking about illegal, illicit drugs ... not prescription medication or OTC drugs.

a law abiding man cannot drink drive, as thats illegal and therefore stops him from being a law abiding man. My last line was mainly about illicit drugs.

I've seen a drunk may, who was also high on meth, call the cops while driving home. How does he fit into this?

went to yahoo.com

found this as one of their first stories

nothing good comes from drugs and alcohol ... except the destruction of the people who take them as well as those who they come into contact with

and if the drunk driving example isn't good enough for you, there are tons of cases of people who were never involved in domestic violence ... until drugs or alcohol or both came into the picture

i was just saying, if you dont want to hit people, then drinking some booze wont change that, and its the same with light drugs.
