All that matters for the purpose of this discussion is that they're illegal.

The other reasons require detail and The Hills is on.

I already talked about cigarettes in this thread. That's a health effect that is very concerning.

But I multitask. Cigarettes are bad and illegal drugs are bad, mmmmmkay.

From the article: "Drugs are addictive, and that's true whether you're a ghetto gang member or a Harvard-educated entertainment lawyer," Hutchinson said. "But the cold, hard truth is, if the ghetto kid gets hooked, he isn't going to clean up in a rehab clinic in Palm Springs and maybe even become president, now, is he?

Is it bad that I ACTUALLY agree with this? Because I do.

No. I agree, too, and it supports the point that I was making.

But yeah the anti-drug movement in the US got started with the same temperence societies that the anti-alcohol movement did. However, race was a big factor. They did not want "foreign" drugs influencing their children, and they particularly did not want teenage girls to fall under the influence of "foreign" drug lords.

Thanks to having US History class with an ex-hippie, we learned these things in school!

That's not the complete history, though. That was the part of history that an ex-hippie found most compelling from a conflict rather than a consensus perspective.

There's plenty of info about the social and economic reasons behind the illegality of drugs and why alcohol went from being legal to illegal to legal. The -isms (racism, classism, Americentrism, etc.) don't capture it all. Capitalism is a big part of it, as well.

But lo and behold it's still illegal. So the rest is good for theoretical and policy debates with little expectation that there will be policy and legal changes that make drugs legal.

I dont do drugs for the simple reason that they are illegal and I don't want to get some shit on my record because of my college days. I have seen a decent amount of marijuana and cocaine use with my own eyes and just chose to never partake in either, I pass no judgement on those who do though. If coke and weed were legal I would probably use them recreationally.

I love The History Channel.

Addresses some of the issues that we have discussed in this thread. Take from this and scholarly sources what you will. It should all be taken together instead of only accepting those things that suit your interests or that you find compelling.

In the end, the change of thread discussion was interesting. Back to tiered SEC stuff without a ranking of who is the coolest powder nose.

Is he performing as Vanilla Ice or Rob Van Winkle. Maybe he's doing his rocker thing.

Rob Van Winkle is handsome when he's not doing the paranoid douchebag thing.

...because Vanilla Ice isn't a member of the fraternity?

I'm not sure the decision making that went into this, again I'm way, way out of the loop at the moment. Perhaps people thought it'd be funny. I don't know.
