You can't possible believe that ka's hateful rant was "truth," can you?
Originally posted by @kingdavid403So, how come so many kids (13 to 21) are using so many drugs?
I agree with everything you said except: [b]The problem is people actively pushing drugs on kids; at dances and schoolyards.
I've known many drug dealers throughout my life; even dabbled in it myself years back; I've never know any drug dealers that were pushing drugs on kids. Nor were drugs ever pushed on me while I attended public school or col ...[text shortened]... f hard drugs are only selling them to supply their own drug habits. There are a few exceptions.[/b]
It’s because dealers target them.
It’s part of the whole “Marijhuana leads to hard drugs” bollocks.
No, the people selling the marijuhana are also selling coke, meth, etc. Especially party drugs like XTC (or whatever’s hip nowadays).
“Oh go on, try it!”
By legalizing the drugs (compartmentalizing them), you stop escalation (reduce it, at the least). And it will automatically, as a side effect, hurt the child prostitution racket as well.
Lots of kids are coerced into whoring, because they need money to fund their habit, or the habit is what their pimps use as leverage over them.

ka:"When the masses are brought up in such backward education systems such as the U.S. we have these problems with drug addicts."
What did the following statement have to do with the liberal stance to drugs in Portugal
ka:"The U.S. popular media always wants to blame others for their problems. They justify wars on other countries and imprison their own citizens based on false evidence."
Originally posted by @mchillIt was not hateful, more disappointment.
I was referring to wajoma's hateful rant
I feel a kind of pity for those that have not experienced the US that then go on anonymous internet message boards and drool anti-US bile. Those that actively search out the worst, amplify it, wallow in it, then regurgitate it here. There was opportunity here to look at the benefits of liberal drug laws but ka took another road.
My advice; try some real world travel experience for yourselves. (for ka this means more than the Aussie staple i.e. a week in Bali.)
