How is "Succinyl Choline" on there? Thats used to kill because its hard to detect in Autopsies, it has to be searched for specifically.

Its also used to kill horses.

Its a muscle relaxer but much too strong for humans, it targets the heart, and when that muscle relaxes, its hard to continue, and again its also very hard to find, i believe it has some base with saline, because it is disolved very quickly, and cannot be traced unless searched for.

Drugs are just like booze...when used properly, there's no problem, from grass to smack. Here's a nice heroin arguement for ya...did you know that, if legal, the manufacturing and distribution costs for heroin are the same as asprin? No junkie is gonna beat your granny for her social security, or rob a 7-11, or bother with a dirty needle to get his fix, if the fix is $0.79 at the aforementioned 7-11. "Oh, but Squishy, if smack was legal, think how many more people would be doing it!" Bullshit, I cry! It's not like you can't find it now with a little effort, and if it was made properly, and not cut with whatever cleaning products are laying around, it's a safe, but highly addictive drug. I'm smoking a government regulated, highly addictive, and even more unhealthy drug right now. It's called a Marlboro.

DarkJedi · 06-20-2002, 12:48 PM

yeah but heroine is very addictive and you need more of it with every dose, cause your body adapts to it and small doses (which you were doing frim the start) dont work anymore - so you need more, more, more - untill you hit a dose big enough to finish you off

Squishy · 06-20-2002, 12:52 PM

No one chooses to die, unless they choose to die. Your average junkie will get started and enjoy his drugs for quite a while, then want to kick, or not, and can lead productive, useful lives all the way through it. I've got no problem with that. They OD because the do not know what they are getting when they buy an unregulated, black market substance. It's like bathtub gin during prohabition...are you getting proberly made booze, or are you getting paint thinner with a juniper scent that'll make you blind within an hour? It's just a new prohabition, causing more problems than it solves.

Eighty-one percent of this amount ($24.1 billion) was spent on substance-involved offenders. Of the $24.1 billion, $21.4 billion went to run and build prisons to house substance-involved offenders, $1.1 billion for parole and $695 million for probation for substance-involved offenders. An additional $899 million was spent on state aid to localities for substance-involved offenders (Figure 3.A)"

The thing that youngsters, folks in recovery, and those who abstain from drugs on their own for whatever reason need to respect is that some people can experiment with drugs their whole lives - dabbling in this and that tying one on now and then - without serious issue and guess what ... that's ok too.

Sometimes folks just want to be a little left of center just because it feels good or at least feels more interesting in socail situations. Shit, I like to wake-and-bake and then take a five-mile run in the morning. Then again, I'm fucking whacked.

If everyone smoked pot, there would be no wars.

Studies have shown that most illegal drugs are not harmful if used in moderation.

Cocaine actually increases concentration, reaction, and awareness. There are no known side effects if used in moderation.

Marijuana has no known ill side effects even in heavy users.

Sometimes folks just want to be a little left of center just because it feels good or at least feels more interesting in socail situations. Shit, I like to wake-and-bake and then take a five-mile run in the morning. Then again, I'm fucking whacked.

Studies have shown that most illegal drugs are not harmful if used in moderation. Cocaine actually increases concentration, reaction, and awareness. There are no known side effects if used in moderation. Marijuana has no known ill side effects even in heavy users.
