Alcohol abuse

[Lucy Chambers]

The illicit drug model favoured by many governments to date is actually counter productive,
especially with popular, soft drugs.

Would prohibition of alcohol improve the situation?

Ah, Warmcome. Before we continue this debate let me just say I don't consider marijuana a drug, it's a plant

You can't smoke those straight out of the ground though Warmcome. You have to refine them. Ergo, no longer a plant. However, let's not get side tracked. Do you think all drugs should be legalised? How do you think that would work in the long term?

Done right? Quite distinct from the ideological mess we are knee deep in. I'll watch the vid tommorow.
I don't care for alcohol, scary how it can change quiet people into dangerous pricks.

My worry would be if we legalise then in ten years we have the same problem. I do understand that many people use drugs and alcohol without negative consequences, but many don't. We have to start caring for people in a different way. That's definite.

illegal is just some vague disapproval a state can put on something.
If the public want it, the mobz will organise that market. simples. $$$

Educate, then let them go and make choices...

For some people it's not a choice. Watch the doc and let me know what you think. I found it very thought provoking and I love a party more than most.

Hello


Long time since I last made a thread, so bear with me. I stumbled across this video the other day, my mission is to share it where possible as its affected the way I view alcohol, and indeed alcoholics profoundly. Here it is...

It's a bit dark but there is light too. If anyone has some spare time or interest give it a watch.

Thank you!

Jesus Lucy, you weren't kidding, that was dark. I didn't see any light in it.

I entirely agree. Perhaps the drinks industry should be made to cough up some of the billions they make from this misery each year. Here's hoping.

At €8 or €9 for a bottle of wine that's €2 on the Continent, I think they do, or we do.
