Drug Policy Needs More Centrists (NYTimes OP-Ed)

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Apparently the Swiss are allowing their Cantons to decide for themselves. Four cantons legalized home growth for personal use.

Well, we all know what an uncivilized and backward place Switzerland is. It's really just like Somalia, but with lederhosen.

In Switzerland, the cantons pretty much decide everything, from taxes to health care contributions to the language and indeed drug policy.

I know it was a major pain in the arse with the school I worked at there, because in our canton, drug possession was still illegal, but you could catch a train to Bern, less than an hour away, and buy as much as you wanted.

That they didn't just smoke the shit there, but instead kept on bringing it back to where it was illegal, is proof of the school's status as not an educational establishment for the most gifted children of foreign despots and gangsters.

Well, I for one think we should definitely keep throwing people in jail if it helps the economy.  Freedom is expensive.

I wanna wear that on my coffee shirt.

Though it seems to go well this time, I'm still calling 30 pages.

Meh. I think we're all well past the absolute certainty that we're all a bunch of hypocrites and when we're not wasted on the intoxicant of choice (gambling, sex, beer, etc), we're generally riding pretty high on a heaping, technicolor load of our own bullshit.

[navkat]

There. I just short-circuted past 7 pages at least.

Do you want that to happen?

MY GOD, I'M RUINING PEEDEE!

Do you want that to happen? 

Only if it's 30 pages of puns.

[navkat]

Or we could all just drink your pee and get high.

That sounds like a challenge.

Of course he does. That's probably why he started this thread.

Oh, wait.

When asked by a passenger how high he would get, the pilot replied,'I don't do drugs.'

Switching from alcohol to drugs is bad because you'll be high and dry.

Taking drugs is a misstep that could cause a bad trip.

Drug stores seem to be especially prone to pillaging.
