I'm not sure how ganja killed somebody. Has anyone ever heard of having an allergic reaction to cannabis? I mean i guess its always possible. The only other thing I can think of is if the person had some other kind of condition already that was intensified by smoking, like a heart or lung problem. I dunno.

I know a girl who's allergic to cannabis (she gets all puffy and has trouble breathing when she smokes) but it isn't life-threatening, and it's the only person I've ever heard of having that problem.

yeah i've heard allergies to cannabis, and maybe those people choked on the peanuts?

and who knows, are profits from legalization going to exceed the profits from the drug war? they're making money from taxes and jailing people, why fix a bad thing?

i dunno, maybe taxing legal drugs might be more profitable actually.

why fix a bad thing.... Hmmm, maybe because it's bad

as for "they're making money by...", keep in mind that it's
the government making money, not the citizens, it doesnt
trickle back down to us, it only goes to line the pockets of
those holding the power

no, none of the things you mentioned come back to our economy. was this on purpose? why not make mention of the billions in domestic programs and subsidies, government contracts given to domestic contractors and organizations, and things of that nature?

Not only does the govt invest the principle payment, but wealth accumulated as a result of that funding is subject to the multiplier effect that recirculates these monies through the cash cycle time and time again. The multiplier effect is larger in economies where the marginal propensity to consume (% of income that is spent in consumption) is higher. So, for example, Govt money spent in the US is circulated many times over (due to our nonexistent savings), whereas govt spending in Japan may get cycled through the system far fewer times, due to their relatively high savings rates.

I don't really have the time (or necessarily want to) argue about whether money we give the gov't gets back to us, because it's a subjective matter with heavy arguments for both sides. But don't just write it off as "none of it is coming back to us" or whatever I originally contested against

you mean like welfare? that only takes from the economy,
I mean if someone isnt working, paying taxes and simply
sponge off the rest of us, is anything really going back
into the economy?

what about farm subsidies, they go out to huge
corporations like monsanto, conagra and HJ heinz, the
small farmers that dont have billions in assets to draw
from for growth yet they have to meet certain criteria to
even be considered for this money, for instance I'd have
to upgrade my tracter to a model that costs $80k in order
to recieve a single $25k subsidy

hes trying to point out that the gov't claims to budget trillions into our economy each year in numerous ways but in reality they cant even produce the accounting (which,by law, they are supposed to have to do) showing they spent that money on anything other than themselves and the types of things prisoner#1 mentioned

Why is it that every time I make a broad statement that is UNCONTESTABLE (ex: the government budget puts money into our economy), you cite a few specific examples that fit your argument?

Of course you can find bad programs and governmental loopholes that don't make sense. We're talking about the management and manipulation (good manipulation) of an ENTIRE ECONOMY here. Not everything is going to work perfectly, or even relatively well for that matter.

-----------
I'm going to class now, and have a busy day - so by the time i get home this thread will be on page 5 or 6 of the pub. As a result, this will most likely be my last post in here.

In conclusion - please drop your closed-minded viewpoints that the government is no good and accept that they help us in a very real and very large way. (no, it's not perfect. No, not everything helps. Yes, some things hurt. Yes, a lot of government officials get paid in the process. No, none of it matters).

it's the departmenet of defense. they do whatever they want -


edit: just thought of this. Usually - I wouldn't consider the department of defense as an expenditure that gets trickled back down into our economy. But just yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine who's dad is a defense contractor who's business picked up significantly after 9/11. As a result of these increased government contracts they're receiving, the firm (who has stockholders that accumulate wealth as a result of their investment, i'm assuming) gains revenues... which it pays to employees, who get income, who spend their money in stores, which receive it and pay it to their own employees, and so on and so forth, multiplier effect working for us again.

even not being an economist there is so much a slightly intellectual individual can perceive correctly even w/o choosing a drab ass major like you did. you can take your 4 year macroeconomics degree and shove it bc it changes not what is really happening around us whether you choose to be aware of it or not

Part 2: On the same search I found a few sites for yes, "LSD Addiction" Treatment. Here is one I found:
Quote:



Getting Help with LSD Addiction

Because LSD causes such a psychological addiction, most people can not overcome the addiction to LSD on their own. Those who are addicted to this drug need professional help, and if you or someone you love has an addiction, you need to seek help before it is too late. There are various drug rehabilitation centers that are ready and waiting to help those who are suffering from addiction to LSD. The help is available to you, but you have to be the one who makes the decision to seek and accept help.





http://ezinearticles.com/?LSD---A-Powerful,-Illegal-Drug&id=532382

Considering that probobly less than a dozen people so far have ever been addicted to LSD I think it is curious how much infrastructure there is to treat LSD "addiction". Maybe Syd Barrett could have benefited, but I'm not really sure who else.
