Oops. I just managed to find a dumber site after all! http://www.dea.gov/

www.ratemypoo.com ...on second thought, your link is still the dumbest of all.

Mav, the 11% is not an 'average' tax, but the current <b>federal</b> excise tax on cigs. Add state and city taxes, and you're well over 26%...and that's before you even factor in the ordinary sales taxes. 26% <b>total</b> taxes on cigarrettes would make them much cheaper. 26% total taxes...

Mav, will you ever start making sense? Cigarettes and booze are already taxed at OVER 26%, and there are no significant black market issues. Legalize drugs, but impose a 26% excise tax? Fine by me.

Drug prohibition is the only reason crystal meth is widely manufactured in the first place. Unlike cocaine, crank can be easily synthesized using cold pills, red phosphorous flares, and other commonly available chemicals. Legalize nice clean natural & enjoyable blow, and nobody will want to...

Cool. In that case if you really think about it, there should be absolutely zero laws against drug use, drug selling, or prostitution. Municipal zoning laws would be quite sufficient in dealing with all victimless activities. For conservatives (and Liberals) , the word FREEDOM is apparently...

OK, I guess we're pretty much in agreement after all. I did read all your posts here, and you did make quite a few anti-drug statements. Mandatory drug insurance? OK, that would certainly be far better than the current fascist oppression.

You seem to think that if anti-capitalistic health care laws are already in place, the government should be in the business of prohibition enforcement. Am I wrong? The socialism we both oppose is an entirely separate issue. Whether or not the socialist health care laws are voided (this is an...

"And if you want to keep coming up with stuff that can kill you, just take mix aspirin with alcohol in large quantities. I guess we should outlaw aspirin too huh?" The point is that NONE of these intoxicating substances should be prohibited at all. The issue is far worse than just...

Glues, solvents, gold spray paint & paint thinners are also commonly abused by druggies. However, there are two major differences here: 1) Huffing these substances actually causes brain damage, mental retardation, and occasionally death. Ask any doctor- huffing these poisons is far worse than...

Like most conservatives, you're having alot of trouble distinguishing between actual crimes and completely victimless activities where absolutely nobody has their body or property rights violated by another person. Hapaboy, I believe we often agree with each other on these boards. You're not...

Great post Aphie. I can usually count on you for clear, logical posts. Believe it or not, the statistic is not 10% of our prison population, but <b>over 50% of American prisoners are non-violent drug offenders. </b> aka political prisoners.

Eating weed just causes it to take a bit longer to kick in. The amount you'd need is similar, although you'd probably need a bit more than if you were smoking. Look up the term 'space cakes'...

No, MTC...that was me, not Candle. He did say he had friends in the IDF though. BTW, MohammadAkram is a Candletrader alias.

Just click 'search' on the top right here. There are MANY extensive threads on this book and the whole Taleb/Niederhoffer rivalry.

Yes, ever since alcoholic beverages were re-legalized in 1932, America has been sooo plauged by the scourge of black-market moonshine dealers. Mav, you have no leg to stand on here, give it up. ....and hapa, drug traffickers should not be executed, they should be recognized as the...

Sounds ok, but i have no idea why you think dangerous drug abuse would increase in the slightest bit with the ending of prohibition.

Yup, Mav wants the government to closely watch and guard over us- for our own good, of course. Kind of like a nurturing nanny, or a protective <b>big brother</b>.

What's Wrong With the Drug War? Everyone has a stake in ending the war on drugs. Whether you’re a parent concerned about protecting children from drug-related harm, a social justice advocate worried about racially disproportionate incarceration rates, an environmentalist seeking to protect...

How many emergency room visits & deaths have been caused by the impurities/ substitutions caused by street dealers? How many kids OD on 'ecstasy' pills they THINK are MDMA, but actually are MDA, PMA, or AMPS? How many heroin OD's are caused by the varying cuts & purities of the drug? Ending...
