Who said he was "crazed"? Won't that be determined in a court of law from psychiatric evaluations? Are people not able to abuse drugs without being "crazed"; or is that just not you personal experience?

Cuxan, on the other thread I gave you dozens of links to medical studies from different sources and different countries, proving that marijuana can cause serious mental problems. The studies also proved that 10% of ALL mental illness in US is tied to majijuana use. That is a big number considering the fact that only a small percentage of people are regular pot users, yet they make up 10% of all mental cases.

I regretably have to take the opposite position. I believe all drugs should be legalized to take the profit (and "cool") out of drugs. It's an ugly choice, but it's the only choice. Some foolish people will destroy themselves, just as some do on alcohol, but we will finaly end this horrible period in American history. It's the only way.

Anything to shift the attention away from the guns. Mandatory random drug screens for all firearm owners is what you need.

True!

The other thing, and I can't stress this enough, is training.

When I got my CCP, the training was pretty much:

This is your gun

This is the trigger

Point it THAT way --->.

I already knew that!

Western medicine is horrific for preventive medicine and corrupt for overprescribing . It is a heartless and corrupt system that uhurts the naive. I've never taken prescription meds in my adult life. Most cures for common ailments can be found through natural means.

I have plenty of beefs with the pharmaceutical industry and I believe marijuana needs (not "should") to be legalized, but this post is asinine.

Western medicine is "horrific for preventive medicine"? When is last time you got malaria or typhus or smallpox or polio or cholera or bubonic plague? You can thank Western medicine because that is the most likely reason why you are still alive.

You don't think what Holmes did was crazy? You see a lot of these theater shootings out your way? I see you haven't given up on your personal attacks, either. Stay classy there, MO.

I have taken Vicodin for the pain related to various muscle pulls and joint sprains etc. I have never felt anything but the relief of the pain. I have been injected with Morphine for pain. All I felt was pain relief and the associated mild relaxation.

How do people get addicted to this stuff? How much do they have to take? Why bother?
