|Elflocko| Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Why do you all keep calling Justice a she? She originally had "her" sex listed as female on her profile before changing and has also identified herself as such in a post or two. Or at least this is what the person driving this troll wanted us to assume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portugal has done something like this and I think the results are surprising. Not what people would think. Portugal decriminalized drugs. http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1893946,00.html Compared to the European Union and the U.S., Portugal's drug use numbers are impressive. Following decriminalization, Portugal had the lowest rate of lifetime marijuana use in people over 15 in the E.U.: 10%. The most comparable figure in America is in people over 12: 39.8%. Proportionally, more Americans have used cocaine than Portuguese have used marijuana. The Cato paper reports that between 2001 and 2006 in Portugal, rates of lifetime use of any illegal drug among seventh through ninth graders fell from 14.1% to 10.6%; drug use in older teens also declined. Lifetime heroin use among 16-to-18-year-olds fell from 2.5% to 1.8% (although there was a slight increase in marijuana use in that age group). New HIV infections in drug users fell by 17% between 1999 and 2003, and deaths related to heroin and similar drugs were cut by more than half. In addition, the number of people on methadone and buprenorphine treatment for drug addiction rose to 14,877 from 6,040, after decriminalization, and money saved on enforcement allowed for increased funding of drug-free treatment as well. Portugal's case study is of some interest to lawmakers in the U.S., confronted now with the violent overflow of escalating drug gang wars in Mexico. The U.S. has long championed a hard-line drug policy, supporting only international agreements that enforce drug prohibition and imposing on its citizens some of the world's harshest penalties for drug possession and sales. Yet America has the highest rates of cocaine and marijuana use in the world, and while most of the E.U. (including Holland) has more liberal drug laws than the U.S., it also has less drug use. But there is a movement afoot in the U.S., in the legislatures of New York State, California and Massachusetts, to reconsider our overly punitive drug laws. Recently, Senators Jim Webb and Arlen Specter proposed that Congress create a national commission, not unlike Portugal's, to deal with prison reform and overhaul drug-sentencing policy. As Webb noted, the U.S. is home to 5% of the global population but 25% of its prisoners. At the Cato Institute in early April, Greenwald contended that a major problem with most American drug policy debate is that it's based on "speculation and fear mongering," rather than empirical evidence on the effects of more lenient drug policies. In Portugal, the effect was to neutralize what had become the country's number one public health problem, he says. "The impact in the life of families and our society is much lower than it was before decriminalization," says Joao Castel-Branco Goulao, Portugual's "drug czar" and president of the Institute on Drugs and Drug Addiction, adding that police are now able to re-focus on tracking much higher level dealers and larger quantities of drugs. Peter Reuter, a professor of criminology and public policy at the University of Maryland, like Kleiman, is skeptical. He conceded in a presentation at the Cato Institute that "it's fair to say that decriminalization in Portugal has met its central goal. Drug use did not rise." However, he notes that Portugal is a small country and that the cyclical nature of drug epidemics — which tends to occur no matter what policies are in place — may account for the declines in heroin use and deaths. The Cato report's author, Greenwald, hews to the first point: that the data shows that decriminalization does not result in increased drug use. Since that is what concerns the public and policymakers most about decriminalization, he says, "that is the central concession that will transform the debate." Now, decriminalization is not the same as legalization but the results should be similar. Decriminalization does not result in increased drug use, does not result in additional health issues and may actually cause them to decrease, does allow for more money to be funneled back into the system by saving money in enforcement and health treatment, etc....

|Numbers| Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 This subject has been covered before at the following link; Note: Even Jimmy Carter was OK with "legalizing" marijuana. http://forum.go-bengals.com/index.php?/topic/66970-former-president-jimmy-carter-ok-with-legalizing-marijuana/?p=1216799 http://www.cato.org/pubs/wtpapers/greenwald_whitepaper.pdf “Decriminalisation” comprises removal of a conduct or activity from the sphere of criminal law. Prohibition remains the rule, but sanctions for use (and its preparatory acts) no longer fall within the framework of the criminal law. [By contrast],“depenalization” means relation of the penal sanction provided for by law. In the case of drugs, and cannabis in particular, depenalization generally signifies the elimination of cus-todial penalties. In sum, “decriminalization” means either that only noncriminal sanctions (such as fines or treatment requirements) are imposed or that no penal sanctions can be. In a “depenalized” framework, drug usage remains a criminal offense, but imprisonment is no longer imposed for possession or usage even as other criminal sanctions (e.g., fines, police record, probation) remain available. “Legalization”— which no EU state has yet adopted—means that there are no prohibitions of any kind under the law on drug manufacturing, sales, possession, or usage.

|Numbers| Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 In other words, as the definition of legalization currently stands, I am not for the legalization of marijuana and other drugs but I would be for the decriminalization. In legalizing drugs there are "no prohibitions of any kind under the law on drug manufacturing, sales, possession, or usage." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In legalizing drugs there are "no prohibitions of any kind under the law on drug manufacturing, sales, possession, or usage." the horrible chemicals that still go in tobacco products despite everyone knowing they will kill you and/or cause horrible disease kind of wipes away the last part. the worst risk in smoking marijuana is the burning papers or gases/smoke from the flames of whatever you are lighting it with. i guarantee the cheese pizza i eat is going to kill me before marijuana ever will...

If you are diagnosed with it, you can take a PO Box address out in Michigan and if you're willing to drive there, get some damn good medicinal after getting your license.
