Cocaine Legalization

[sheramil]

here's my weed-addled take on the situation.

the government (or Microsoft, or the Sultan of Brunei - whoever can afford to do this) will set up colonies on different islands. about the size of Martha's Vinyard. each island would have power from a wind-farm, water from a desalinisation plant, food via air-drops every few days, and a nice little village the people could live in.

each island would be devoted to a particular kind of drug. one for alcohol, one for weed, one for speed, one for acid, morphine, mushrooms, crack, jimson weed, Everquest, nicotene, Peyote, Bannisteria Caapi, nutmeg, and fried banana peels.

the daily to-ings and fro-ings of the inhabitants would be televised, and the islanders would have to agree to some medical tests now and then, so we could get research data on long-term drug use.

if someone wanted to move from one island to another, they'd have to spend a year on Detox Island (this is to prevent the alcoholics from going over to marijuana island and beating up the pot-heads).

there would be islands for combinations of drugs, too. the inhabitants of Crack and Speed island could generate their own electricity with pedal-power. the inhabitants of Weed and LSD island could design screen-savers. the Peyote and Mushroom islanders could do research into theoretical mathematics. the Booze-and-Nicotene islanders could hack each other to death with broken beer-bottles, and so forth.

anyone on the mainland who can't resist their narcotic of choice would be exiled to the appropriate island.

that would suck, the world economy would go bankrupt supplying munchies to weed island.

Legalize it, tax it, and allow drug testing for certain occupations. You can't save other people from themselves. Oh, and never park your clipper ship at speedball island (Dock River Phoenix?)

I went to school with his daughter and let's just say rumor was she wasn't an asshole but was quite enhanced.

I say we go to columbia shoot all the cocaine lords and then not have to worry about the shit any more! Wanna look like a vampire real quick do an eight ball a day and sit in your bedroom 24/7. Regardless, keeping it the way it is is just putting people behind bars for something they are going to do behind bars and do when they get out and all the while waste tax dollars! I have no idea what a reasonable stance is however seeing that pot is not legalized in the U.S or Canada I don't see cocaine being legalized in the next ohh 5000 years

the drug laws are bullshit. they aren't about the drugs at all, it's a reason to lock up minorities, and the poor. in other words the ones that don't do anything to benefit the rich whites, who use drugs as well, but don't go to jail for it, because they are the one's that make the rules and make the bucks. what's the name of that NBA guy that just got busted for weed? he said it was his freinds, and he had to pay a fine of 100 dollars. considering he makes a million dollars a year, you can do the math. now suppose that johnny law caught you or me with some grass, you think we'd have to pay a small fine that was pocket change in comparison to our income? no, we'd be the one's tagged, booked, and spreading em down at the county.

I've done some really great work on cocaine.

Aleister Crowley used to do a lot of cocaine. i know this because he says so in his diaries. he made daily entries about how much poetry and painting he did that day and it must be due to the cocaine and he was going to stop taking it after just one more snort. this went on for about three years, then he ran out of money.

sometimes the entries were less than half an hour apart. "just one more, and then i'll start to taper off.."

Aleister Crowley Wrote "The book of the law" Mostly high on Heroin and Cocaine. This is why many of his theories are not fact in the eyes of scrying and ritual magick (performed with "The Golden Dawn.")

...I read in Wired, that the coca plant (main ingredient in cocaine) has become immune to 'Round-Up' a very common pesticide (I think that's what its called). They did some research to see if it was Genetically Modified, or just evolved that way by select breeding, if I remember right it was by select breeding... wow that has nothing to do with Cocaine legalization ^_^

EDIT:
Not just round-up, but the main pesticide the US DEA uses too.
