Hello people,this is my first time in the Drug War Arena,and i think it to be an interesting place. So i have looked around a bit,check the aruments and countearguments for and against WOD and i have a question for debate: Since we cannot "argue the DEA or public opinion to death",no matter how flaming our rhetoric prowess is, should we take another path and start setting the nice example? My argument is : The Drug war needs a certain image ,a stereotype, of the drug user to be prevalent in societys mind (tnhat is the majority's mind) of drug use and drug user in order to work and not cause civil unrest.The portrate existing is preety bad and i cant help to wonder why many users still dont take any steps to prove them wrong! I am going to be strict here : Many drug users seem to do everything they can to paint an even worse portrait of the average user. Imagine having 100 points in order to be an example of responsible psychoactives use that his words are kept first and foremost by himself. Now deduct points for these: -some points Driving under the influece -Quite a lot of points for ICU-hospital drug related visits - some points for Taking pills and powders that you have not checked first with a reagent (test kit -Alot of points for ending up in rehab (its not going to rehab the sad part ,the sad part is the path that leads you there) -Quite alot of ponts for not researching a drug you took ,for basing your trust only to the "its ok ,i did it yesterday" words of a friend. -A lot of points for failing fulfiling responsibilities as a result of drug use -A great deal of points for any short of drug use that sends out a "Drug users get into trouble one way or another" message to your family,to immediate enviroment and society. -Minus a 1000 for dying. Well ,if now we research Erowid experience vaults we will find that many of those behaviours that deduce points are prevalent! Some of the reports even contain the whole lot! Is this the drug user image we want people to have? Is this our ideal? If not,then something must be done! And no,i dont mean starting from tommorow and the person near you i mean starting from today and from ourselves. So,debate, do you think we need such an action to take place and do you think it could bring results to the Drug war arena? -------------------- Entheomation's SEED Ethical Vendor Project.Please support it if you value your plants!
