      XPost: alt.politics.usa.congress, alt.atheism, talk.politics.misc       XPost: alt.politics.usa.democrats, alt.politics.usa.republicans       From: Intelligent@savetheworldmsn.com              Drugs ought to be marketed as medicine and sold out of sight on demand,       at the likes of Pharmacies, with all kinds of labeling.              Shutting down our Pharmacies (Rite Aid) for the drug war, is criminal.              There would be no Opioid crisis if Codeine were sold as it was, at Rite       Aid. No one would use any opiate more potent than Codeine, today, which       your body turns into Morphine. Codeine is already as bad for you as       liquor, which is the devil's drug. No one would use Morphine,       Oxycontin, Heroin, or Fentanyl, which are all more potent, than Codeine,       in order. No alcoholic, today, drinks 75%-99% alcohol, even though it       is widely available and stocked at any liquor store. If one outlawed       alcohol today, 99% alcohol is almost ALL that would be for sale, and       alcoholics would be using only 99%. This is why there's an Opoid       Pandemic. No one would use any opiate more potent than Codeine, today,       which your body turns into Morphine.              Christians, supposedly passed the 18th Amendment, which banned the       manufacture of alcohol, yet Jesus turned water into wine. Jesus would       turn flour into cocaine today, and drink wine in public today, believe       me you.              Jesus is not under your laws, and neither are we. You are under no laws       but God's. What the U.S. is, is called "criminal oppression."              A nation of laws, is a nation of wrongs. I SAY, the U.S. is a nation of       _rights_, and there is no wrong unless there is a right violated.              All prohibition is wrongful condemnation. Abortion. Guns. Sexuality.       Drugs. Use of the Public Lands. All prohibition is akin to persecuting       witchcraft. All prohibition is witch killing. All prohibition is       persecution of a minority interest, which is genocide. All prohibition       is wrongful contempt. All prohibition is hate crime. All prohibition       is prison. Politicians practicing prohibition, are broken arrows, at       war on the American people. The war on drugs, is war on the people, and       treason. It doesn't matter how many votes, the politicians get. America       is for ALL people, however disparate their interests might be. Judging       people who are different than you, is prejudice.              "The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or sect, a party or a       class——it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity."       - Anna Julia Cooper,       - On all U.S. Passports!                            The U.S. criminal justice system has not risen to the lofty level of "an       eye for an eye," much less the ministry of forgiveness. The U.S.       criminal justice system, is vengeance on the innocent, justifying itself       by doctrine. We are not justified by doctrine, but by truth. An eye       for an eye, and the whole world would be FREE, since the government       maintains a corner on vengeance! Vengeance is crime, and all it can       serve, is to make a lie not persist perpetrated by the unrepentant, (and       even more so, what if you're just negative for nothing). Why would       vengeance be legal for a government? It is not. Forgiveness, lifts the       darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of light.       This world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real world, where       guilt meets with forgiveness.              God is love and light, and within, and one with you. And he does love       you, and everyone your country has killed, as well as those who killed them.              "For Satan accuses our brethren before our God day and night."       Revelations 12:10                     Drugs ought to be marketed as medicine, and sold out of sight on demand,       at the likes of Pharmacies, with all kinds of labeling.              This means all drugs, to all ages on demand, without prescription. For       government imposed age discrimination is crime. With more labeling       information, and recommendations how to use/not use, warnings,       degree/level danger of the drug clearly specified. People who can buy,       can read.              Also, people need to be informed, to use the less potent drugs. They're       not intelligent without greater information. You don't want to inhale       nor inject potent drugs. The Heroin, Crack, Crystal Meth, etc. should       point people to the less potent varieties: Codeine, Cocaine, Speed,       respectively. Identifying, and describing, the potency differences.       However, this can all become conventional wisdom, and easily understood       by everyone, as 151 RUM is. 151 RUM DOES say it's 75% alcohol on the       bottle. No Heroin or Crack dealer ever said CRAP! ...they just want to       sell you something.                     We have a nation of 165 million alcohol users, and of those, 25 million       alcohol ABUSERS (who drink more than 10 drinks per day). We don't want       to market drugs as recreation like alcohol. Furthermore, anyone using       liquor, or any other potent drug, more than two days per week, is going       to become an alcoholic/addict and end up in AA/NA. For every day you       use a drug, don't use it for three. The label should say as much. Most       sane partiers party twice per month, while twice per week is merely the       max on the same drug. If you use more, as a chronic user, quit for two       months, right now, to prove you're in control, and then go back to, "for       every day you use, don't use for three," only if you must. Even better,       if you do drink, limit yourself to no more than two drinks, and don't       get trashed. You will have a better time. Make 2x2 your max. Even the       high never gets better than the first drink. You don't want to inject,       nor inhale, potent drugs, _at all_. Drugs use up all your good feelings       at once, or numb your bad feelings. Doing alcohol or drugs, is like       riding roller coasters, and who rides roller coasters more than a few       times per year - the marginal benefit diminishes after the first few       times, period. Drugs are a social, and a mental impediment, and don't       help you "get the girl/guy." Drunk people are socially repulsive. Try       drinking water when you socialize, and get a good night's sleep. All       this, and it is 100% your right to drink and be drunk in public at all       ages. 70% of college students drink at age 18, proving it is legal, and       the government is a crime. Government imposed age discrimination is a       crime, and we do not accept erroneous laws.                     Boneheads merely said "put cigarettes behind the counter," so you have       to ask for them. But they put them behind the checkout counter, and now       they exist as an impulse item. I'm saying, put them out of sight, no       one cares if you have to ask for them, it doesn't temper anything, it's              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
