Things that give you the sh1ts

[RustyCage]

Ah, OK, phew. It's enough of a scare as it is for a parent that your kid(s) might end up on the gear as it is.

Would be a horrible thing to have to go through as a parent

[carey]

Wow Just wow. The Shit I have read in the last 5 pages blows my frigging mind.

There are total f**king hypocrites on here and you know who you are.

FACT- Drugs are illegal, Again that's a fact.

Ok let's set up drug testing. You morons, that's legalizing drug consumption. Ok we accept you can break the law so we'll help you do it by making it safer. Fu*k me you morons.

Ok, I need more money, the bank made heaps of money last year please legalize robbery as I need more money thanks you tree hugging f**k wits legalize robbary.

Oh by the way I hate my Neighbour I'm going to murder him, it's only the Law why follow it, Some fu*king loser at Steroes didn't follow the law but his a hero, such a nice kid, a lost sole, a gental giant pffff I say a Fu*k wit. Knew the risk took it and lost stiff shit.

The Law is the frigging law like it or not there the rules you know they are there you bend no sypoathy of the outcome. As stated its the poor family's I feel for.

Since the first batch of yeast and sugar turned water into wine people have experimented with mind altering substances and it wont ever be any different.

Nah, yeast and sugar turns grapes into wine. To do it with plain ol' water requires a filial relationship with the Creator.

Add flour and you get bread.

An acquaintance put up a facebook status that Police and sniffer dogs should be banned from festivals as this will stop overdosing. WTF? Where do people come up with this shit

[Computer Crashed]

Not trying to get on my soapbax and start another tangent argument but the unfortunate fact is that drugs and alcohol along with mental health issues (stemming many times from traumatic experiences and abuse) are creating a society which is constantly being degraded and destroyed. Families and households are then ripped apart by drugs and alcohol and many times its not the person who takes it but the circle around them that is affected.

The majority of drug users lead functional and normal lives.

I have no doubt about that. But unfortunately 'most' young people don't grasp the idea of responsible drug use. You either do or you don't. And the responsible users make it look like an acceptable option, but truth is it's not a good one.

You think so? I thought it was more of a lucky dip, you might get one that causes an adverse reaction or somehow your body doesn't react well to it.
I'm no expert in the field.

Sounds about right.
What a gamble.

Just ban police all together make all laws the 'Honor' system. We're spiraling out of control. Police get shot in the face and left to fend for themselves yet iced out f**king loser dead beat pieces of total shit scum deserve help cause there 'adicts' do gooding idiots that have no idea of the real world.

You people dead set need to step out in to the real world. And see what it's like. Sitting on a keyboard in an ivory Castle is far different from how the 'real world' lives.

[carey]

Since we're bending the law to suit the minority I should be allowed to sit 180kms an hour going to work tomorrow. It's only the Law why should I follow it? Why don't they just make it 'Safer'

I'd make it there 45 seconds quicker, not like I'd die or anything.

Oh if I did, I'd be a hoon driver, a menice a problem behind the wheel.

Yet you OD and your a lost soul, Such a nice boy, So loving blah blah blah

Because, in a roundabout way, they're right. Sniffer dogs only have about 40% success rate and their presence encourages people to swallow their entire personal stash to avoid getting caught.

Love your passion. I agree, I feel for the families. That's why I'd rather another advisory point where these kids can make an informed decision on what risk they're taking. Once that option is explored, then I feel like you can say "hey, at least we tried something".
It is a needless loss of a young life, that's the tragedy in it. Perhaps one more step towards intervening could have saved it. Dunno. Difficult issue.

[shoe boy]

Fact is, mind alteration in all it's forms is very much a part of life and alcohol is at the forefront of it.

This. Heaps bigger problem and more abused than illegal drugs.

Lets put Drugs in perspective.


Tobacco 72% drug related deaths annually .
Alcohol 25% drug related deaths annually.
Illicit drugs 3% drug related deaths annually.

I am not condoning the use of any drugs .
The comments of some are alarming and ignorant .
Is the real issue the lack of control or control the government have on illicit drugs ?

[OnSong]

If illicit drugs were consumed as regularly as alcohol or tobacco, you would expect that percentage to increase substantially though.

Good rant. Won't stop people taking drugs though. Other than mildly humorous in their absurdity, your analogy's are really nothing like what is being proposed.

I'll pass on your "thought's" to his friends.

[Magellan]

You morons, that's legalizing drug consumption.

The fact you can buy as many UDLs or bottles of shiraz as you can carry home is an example of legalised drug consumption, and in fact it's so ingrained that we don't even consider alcohol a drug. But sure as sh*t, it is.

Sure - the law is the law, but that's not the real question. For some reason, one that probably goes back to the rum rebellion or something, the line that lawmakers have drawn places alcohol in the 'legal' category and other drugs in the 'illegal' category. But it's an arbitrary line. Given the behavior-altering properties of alcohol and the social problems that it causes it raises questions as to where the legal line should be drawn. If you're anti-drugs, then it must follow that alcohol should be a controlled substance as well.

People break the law for a myriad of reasons - the inability to enforce it, a belief that its doesn't apply to them/don't care, or (in the case of regulatory offenses like speeding) that they're in control no matter what. Plus youths will push the boundaries because that's what they do - expecting zero tolerance is a bridge too far IMHO. I think possessing party drugs aren't seen in the same light as crimes like murder and theft, so I'm not sure they're comparable.

If people can become aware of the potential contaminants then that's the best we can hope for.

Perhaps we should follow places like Portugal's lead and move towards legalising other substances?

Food for thought there, but it should be stated that alcohol is a controlled substance.

And we are miles away from a 'zero tolerance' approach in Australia to drugs, that's just a slogan trotted out by politicians from time to time. Just look at how the Judicial system treats many offenders brought before them, suspended sentences are the norm for many categories. Marijuana is almost de-facto legal, despite it's known dangers.

The United Nations has Australia top of the pile in recreational drug use, with about three people dying each day from an overdose. It's a national shame, and unbelievable how a developed, supposedly highly functioning country like Australia is so immersed in drug taking in various forms.
Blame what you want- the massive profits involved in drug dealing, family breakdown, economic pressures, lack of values taught in the home and at school, but It points to a deep sickness in our culture, and until attitudes change and enough people wake up, it won't get any better.

$15 standard drinks because the organisers hold the monopoly or $25 for some tablets that are going to give you an almighty buzz for the day.

Stereo's is aimed at the younger generation who have less money, I can see why they are popular.

[Footy Chick]

kids are stupid.

People who carry on about "people have been taking drugs for thousands of years"

Even 100 years ago, drugs were pure - now they're made in toilets out of bleach and god knows what else. Next time your kids go to a festival, sit them down and try and force some white king and oven cleaner down their throat - and when they almost kick the shit out of you for trying to poison them, remind them this is what they're essentially taking when they pop a pill. Not unlike anyone that had soap shoved in their mouth for answering back as a kid, or being made to smoke a pack of cigarettes after being caught.

Tough love.

*disclaimer - i'd probably never do this but it sounds good*
