Legalisation of all drugs

[billyo]

why not buy all the poppy crop from afganastan that would stop the stuff going on the streets all over the west, we would need less cops, less addicts, less troops, or is it that two many people are make loads of money,and know body really wants lt stoped
Talk is cheap, lives are cheap,drugs are cheap.cops are expensive drugs inforcement is expensive wars are expensive.

The clever scientists around are always looking at ways to stop insects or disease from destroying crops how about them finding a specialist type that destroys only poppy crops? then instead of dropping bombs they could just drop these onto their fields.

Might be playing with nature but needs be.

Of course - the whole world is corrupt.

Hard drugs are just a way of taxing the weak-willed and the stupid. The fact that some of them die young is all part of the process of natural selection; it's just unfortunate that so much crime results from addicts feeding their habit(s).

you could be on to something tim but be careful you never know who's watching we could be in trouble or worse in power,lets drop the poppy buster and watch the banks empty

Check these guys out. Very effective.

I had heard that this was totally possible to do, but has been held back on because its biological warfare. But hey, its no worse than dropping bombs!
Agent Orange but more highly controllable.

NB. You also have to remember why folks take the hard stuff as well, because their life is already a pile of s**t!

I wonder if the mandate of the Geneva Convention allows biological warfare in the case of economical destabilisation against crops as long as it isn't used against humans

but consider the risk that your biological agent might attack something else you hadn't bargained for?

Cane toads? Knotweed? Austrian rabbits? Australian cats? Mitten crabs?

Might do a lot of damage and make you wish you hadn't done it.

There must be a strong economic reason why its not happened, as we in the West do as we please usually?

True if done haphazardly but the agents are becoming more controllable the scientific community learnt from previous mistakes and it is now more commonplace for field trials to be going on around the world.

That would be a bit rich considering it's not illegal to grow Opium poppies in this country.

Guess they don't know what they are talking about huh?

No, I'm sure they do ... I'm just a rebel.

Typo huh - don't you mean you are part of that 'rabble'.

What rabble?
