A new one came in today
Another drugged up junkie high on his last paycheck
Can’t remember his name, in a few days it won’t matter anyway
Bragging about his last score, his last binge, the best place to get more of the drug that leeches the life out my people
How can he talk like that? How can he boast about this destructive lifestyle of murder and morphine? Is he proud? Is he proud of where it’s gotten him? I look at him with disgust. That drug. That evil fucking drug that has destroyed thousands of lives, my friends lives, my life, and he’s here bragging about it. I want to hit him. I want to destroy him. I want to rip his heart out and make him feel the pain of losing someone you love to an overdose, of worrying about your friends, wondering if they’ll be sent to jail or the morgue next, of wondering when your bell too will toll. This kid is proud to be killing me, to be killing my friends and my people, and I have to sit here and try to keep a straight face while he blathers on about how gangster he is, how they do in the hood. I don’t care how they do, they can all fucking die for what they’ve done.

question re: this person that you are writing about….
why focus anger all on them? Are they selling dope? Or just using?
If life didn’t suck so bad for so many people who feel like they have no way out… they wouldn’t need drugs to make them feel better.
Dig deeper; the drugs are not the source of the problem.
“the drugs are not the source of the problem.”
They are most of the time. Only few people are actually able to control how much and when they consume drugs.
the drug abuse is a result of other causes, not the cause of itself. My elaborated reply went to spam.
Thats like saying “Guns dont kill people”. Of course they dont, but if you give the wrong person a gun and he is in the wrong mood he will kill someone else – he wouldn’t do that if he didn’t have the gun.
Likewise if you give someone who is depressed drugs he will probably get addicted and will abuse the drugs – he wouldn’t do that if he didn’t have drugs.
oh look, another legit comment to the spam folder…
I forgot to add:
If people have incompatible mindsets and outlooks and value systems, to your own… then how can you call them “your people?” They may be genetically similar, but identifying with any group should be based on more than mere genetics.
Too bad I’d love to see your argument.
lol.
To that i will reply: the information exists, and can be found, should one choose to seek it.
To what exactly? You previous comment was to the op and the rest was tagged as spam. I was just interested in seeing how you justify the consume of drugs.
i was replying to your “too bad i’d love to see your argument.” You could… it’s in the spam tab in the dashboard.
I don’t have to justify drug use, any more than i have to justify any particular food preference. I can say “i like cheese,” or “i hate mayo,” and it’s like saying “i like weed,” and “i hate crack.” Other people might like mayo, or crack… and even if i think they shouldn’t, i can’t stop them, and i realize it’s their prerogative, their body, their taste-buds… and “there’s no accounting for taste.” Some people like things i don’t like… or even things that i think no one should like… but that doesn’t mean i think we need laws preventing anyone from obtaining mayo, or smoking crack.
Some people like sex so much that they produce offspring they cannot afford. Should we imprison them for doing so? I’d say that bringing a new life into the world, but being knowingly incapable of adequately supporting it, causes immeasurable suffering… but i still think it would be wrong to make and enforce a law to punish those who do, because that makes the suffering even worse.
Imprisoning people for drug involvement, especially when they have not harmed anyone else, only makes things worse. The system makes things worse, instead of better. People see this and hate the system, and want to do the opposite of whatever that system insists. How can i blame them for that? They just want things to be better, even if better comes with a personal cost. People who are miserable, don’t usually want to extend their lives at the cost of more misery. They instead want to consume any substance that makes them feel better for a while, regardless of whether it shortens their life… and many of them see that shortening as a good thing, not “harm.” Harm is making people more miserable for a longer duration. Drugs do the opposite: make people less miserable, for a shorter duration.
We all die in the end, even if we haven’t truly lived. Avoiding drugs won’t make anyone immortal. The choice to consume them should be allowed, left to the individual, not placed in the hands of “the state.” And yet, we have virtually no chance of changing the state’s configuration on this matter.
Ah I didn’t know that spam folder existed.
“but he’ll enjoy the drugs while doing them, regardless of the consequences. It’s not up to you or anyone else to decide whether that’s okay for HIM”
Unfortunately he isn’t aware of the consequences. That’s what an addiction is all about: The consequences aren’t important, the only thing that counts is to satisfy the addiction’s demands. If what you are saying was right, the term ‘addiction’ wouldn’t exist. Therefore it is the responsibility of others with a clear mind to help him.
“And let’s do a cost:benefit analysis:” …
Drugs reduce the probability that he will ever get better again (and contribute to society). You can fight depression, and you can fight drug addictions, but both at the same time? At best it is way more difficult to cure him.
“Education is the key.”
Very right. But unfortunately we’re not in a utopia and there are people who aren’t or who refuse to be educated.
“I don’t have to justify drug use”
Yes you do! Because you consume drugs you finance criminals in Mexico or wherever. Of course you can say that because of this drugs should be legalized, but as long as they aren’t legal you have to live with the fact that your money is used to kill people in Mexico.
Also imo you have to differentiate between drugs that are similar to alcohol and drugs which severely hurt your body. The first ones can be legalized, but the latter ones should be forbidden. It is one of the states job’s to prevent the citizens to hurt themselves.
“I’d say that bringing a new life into the world, but being knowingly incapable of adequately supporting it, causes immeasurable suffering… but i still think it would be wrong to make and enforce a law to punish those who do, because that makes the suffering even worse.”
I thought about this problem as well and I still haven’t come to a conclusion. The main reason why our society sucks so much is that ALL parents are practically allowed to have children – whether they are able to pay for them or not, whether they abuse them physically or not, whether they raise them to be idiots or not.
It is a vicious circle obviously: These ‘traits’ will be inherited generation by generation and until we break the circle these traits will continue to exist.
*from hurting
good response.
The only thing i’ll counter at this time, is this:
“…you have to live with the fact that your money is used to kill people in Mexico.”
American tax money is used to kill people everywhere. In fact, my own tax dollars have contributed, involuntarily, without my permission, to persecuting the very same people i’m defending in my argument. I do not have a choice, because that alternative: not paying taxes, is also criminal, and carries extremely harsh consequences.
My tax dollars are used to wage wars for profit, around the globe, as well as funding the very same propaganda i constantly have to explain to people… all without my approval, all against my opinion, all despite anything i may or may not have to say about it.
Also! My preferred method involves growing my own cannabis, which, hey, that’s also illegal and carries outrageous penalties! So my only option is to either do something illegal, or fund something heinous. There is no other option, because those in charge have removed all other options, by legislating away our freedom… our very rights as human beings, to choose to do something we enjoy without hurting anyone else.
My tax dollars are used to fund the same professional thugs who blindly enforce unjust laws, who don’t care whether the law is fair, but only whether their targeted individual remains compliant. If they ever shoot me or arrest me, it will be because all of us are legally mandated to pay them to do so. I doubt i’m the only one who finds this profoundly infuriating… which leads back to the point i was making before, about how people start to see how corrupt the systems really are, and begin to feel inclined toward opposing or subverting them… so much, in fact, that entire anti-gov’t subcultures have formed, as well as various subcultures integrating such ideals and philosophies into their core tenets.
Grow your own pot – nobody will be any the wiser unless you’re selling it. Growing it for personal use is almost completely safe, though.
Believe me I hate your government even more than I hate my own, I am the last person to justify these “oil raids” all over the world. You could almost say that oil is cannabis for the rich and powerful.
Also if I remember correctly I read somewhere that cannabis is being legalized in some states, right? Why are we even arguing..
if only we could grow our own oil…
but don’t forget about the heat-scanner helicopters and power-meter analysis… not to mention web usage history stored by the ISP, which is legally obligated to keep records, and to turn them over to the DHS or DOJ, in the event an official request is made. You can get caught even if you never say a word. You can get punished for doing nothing that’s actually wrong.
And, that whole “state legalization” thing… isn’t quite as wonderful as it seems on the surface. Federal law always trumps state law, and the feds won’t budge, which means the alphabet orgs still can enforce whatever they want, regardless of any state legislation… and the precedent has already been set that those in charge can simply choose… which or whether to enforce, for whatever reasoning they deem sufficient. They don’t have to abide by their own rules, but we’re punished for not doing so… even when the rule is wrong (and in the case of cannabis, was never legitimate in the first place, and should never have become law, revealing a serious failing of both the legislative and judicial branches, which was then shown to be even worse, by the fact that this problem was not only never corrected, but is not even allowed to be corrected, at the federal level…)
