Anyways, Wiccan, you post that woc still everywhere.... You got a patent or something?





The Wok Still is the answer to many peoples' problems. Whether you are distilling your own distilled water, moonshine, essential oils or ridding solvents of nonvolatiles, the Wok Still is simple and has many useful applications.

In this topic its relevant as it shows how anyone can distill moonshine in their own kitchen in a stealthy and simple way, demonstrating how simple it is to beat Prohibition. If they had Internet in the 1920s millions of Americans would have used this setup.

personally, if they made hard drugs like methamphetamine, cocaine, crack, and heroin legal and available over the counter at a reasonable price, or distributed for nearly free at medical clinics, i think a lot of people would stop stealing and committing crimes to support their addiction.

my 2 cents, in regards to legality vs crime rates

Then some asshole is gonna say "WELL CUZ ITS LEGAL EVERYONE IS GONNA DO IT!!!!!!" I am pretty goddamn sure that just because heroin is legalized that the entire country wouldnt go "well shit i gotta try me some of that" since if they wanted to, they'd have done it by now. However it is true to some extent, or perhaps just people that aren't accounted for before would be purchasing it.

I personally think that legitimately highly addictive (LSD is addictive my ass) substances SHOULDN'T be legalized and I don't see why someone would disagree.

Maybe because prohibition has proven ineffective and has caused much more serious problems than it has solved(as far as I can tell, it hasn't solved anything).

On another note, I sometimes wonder if I might actually be addicted to acid. It's gotten me in a lot of trouble, and yet I still continue to use it. I think I just have trouble taking too much at the wrong time.

i forgot to add that legalizing hard drugs would also cut a majority of funds to mafia and gangs that make most of their money conducting illegal drug, weapon, and prostitution business.

I think recreational chemicals should be available over the counter in the same fashion most pain relievers are. In order to be legitimately sold OTC, they must pass FDA testing and be appropriately labeled.

The FDA was formed for this very reason infact. The majority of cure-alls and pain relievers available at the turn of century contained cocaine or heroin(or some other opiate). The drug companies were becoming rich by marketing blatantly addictive substances under the guise of regular cough syrup. Thus, after the meat market scandals, the FDA was formed, to help protect the otherwise unwitting consumer.

That's where all this eventually leads back too. What started off as a good idea to help protect consumers from otherwise immoral business men, turned into a leash, being carefully manipulated by the same business men.

still curious as to what learningtofly has to say about this. Keeping hard drugs illegal only gives gangs and mafia more power.

I think you should be thrown in jail for eating foods with high saturated fats. How do you feel about that?
