    ''I'm like that too, only I'm very much to the left, ie. I'm for doing drugs like LSD and MDMA, which are viewed as unacceptable by society, whereas you seem very much to the right.''

    Yeah that would be correct. As much as I hate drugs and alcohol(for what they do) I like when people have passionate ideas.

    My opinion of young people(who resort to drink) being empty is a gross generalisation I admit, but please tell me why kids drink. They drink from where I see it, to fit in with the clique.

    Not really, that's a common misconception, a bit like the whole "gateway drug" theory re: Marajuana.

    Many may try their first drink when they are underage because their friends do it, but after that it's entirely because they like it and have fun with it.

    You should really move away from the "all recreational drugs are bad and cause massive health problems and permanent damage" mindset, because every drug is different, and used in moderation, most don't do huge harm.

    Alcohol, which is consistantly rated more dangerous than MDMA, weed, LSD, Magic Mushrooms etc., is enjoyed by the vast majority of people with major health problems only affecting a few(and those few are the ones who don't drink in any way responsibly and go way over the top).

    So unless you're talking about Heroin or Coke addiction, I can't see what your point is. Your use of the term "drugs" is far too casual and general.

    Cigarettes are more damaging than weed apparently, yet they're sold in every shop. This goverment sucks, it's contradiction after contradiction after contradiction.

    Not to mention the fact that the strength of weed sold is believed to be increasing significantly. Not to mention the addition of stuff like glass to it.

    lol, firstly, that's not conclusively true. A lot of the stuff they write in papers is bad science. And secondly, even if it were true, the average pot smoker might have one, maybe 2 joints a week, a light smoker would have 5 cigs a day. What's worse?

    In any case, you can vapouise marajuana and eliminate all the bad effects of smoking, so it's irrelevant really.
