It isn't a particularly strong argument against it. You'd expect people in all professions to avoid going to work under the influence of drugs (including alcohol). Here comes your problem... you were using cocaine and weed staying in your system for extended periods of time as an argument against those drugs whilst ignoring the fact that drugs staying in your system and having an influence on your are very much distinct.

Not under the influence. Not at all. I don't care if he/she is under the influence or not. I wouldn't trust a doctor who takes coke to make a diagnosis on my family. At all.
 

But you'd trust a doctor who gets battered on drink to?

You're wasting your time mate. Like it or not a lot of people just adhere to the demarcation line of illegal/legal drugs without any investigation.

The irony is the very same theoretical doctor could be pushing all sorts of dangerous mood enhancing legal drugs under the banner of 'medication'. Its laughable really.

Not battered, no. But I don't mind him having a glass of wine or two.

If you met the surgeon who was operating on your child a few days before a heart operation having a responsible drink, would you feel nervous?

If you met the surgeon who was operating on your child a few days before a heart operation chopping up a line, would you feel nervous?
 
Fuck me, you'd think half of the SOL was coked off their tits on a match day reading this thread. :lol: It's a tiny minority ffs.

I was an occasional drug user when I was at university - weed, coke, lsd etc, went along with the crowd tbh. After I graduated and got a proper job I gave it all up.

My personal opinion is that drug-taking when you're a kid (at school, uni etc) is forgiveable. People of that age are naturally inclined to try these things and many also conform to peer pressure etc.

I think once you get out into the real world, get a job, more responsibilities etc - if you're still on the coke at that point you're either weak as fuck or a scratter in my eyes. If I found out that someone my age (I'm 26 btw) still thought it was great to get coked up etc my opinion of them would drop instantly. Sign of massive weakness and immaturity IMO.
 
Know Ryan Cowley and James Downs, went to Lambton street youth club with them when we were 15ish. Ryan was an outstanding boxer before he hurt his back.

I was given some by a doctor recently as it happens. Codeine phosphate. Thankfully I don't yet own a car and have no access or need to operate heavy machinery.

Honestly? No. It wouldn't be affecting him if he was doing it that far beyond the operation.

This is spot on IMO.

I knar that.

I saw another one that offered me some kind of injection. Said it was to thin my blood in case I got clots with my leg in a cast. I politely declined that like as he said he wasn't going to force me to have it with me being at 'low risk' for blood clots.

how the hell do you work that out

Are you suggesting that illegal drugs can be administered for medicinal purposes?

how the hell do you work that out

Here comes the brains of the outfit.
 
Why we should legalise drugs.

(i) More people die as a result of drug abuse because it's illegal. Drugs are currently cut with rat poison etc. which risks lives. If they were legal and cut with something safe they'd be less dangerous. In the US under prohibition the number of people who died from alcohol poisoning increased hugely as peopel drank moonshine rather than proper drinks.

(ii) Where the money from drug sales goes. Currently, it funds criminals, who then use the money for things like trafficking kids etc. If it legal and taxed it would fund the health service, but currently there's no tax receipts from drugs.

(iii) It is economically inefficient to have them illegal. Think about the policing costs we currently have and still any idiot can get drugs. What about the drug gang wars etc.

(iv) There's no regulation on who gets drugs. Its just as easy to get it age 12 as it is age 30.

(v) Evidence suggests abuse rates fall with decriminalisation (eg. Portugal 50% fall in heroin abuse rates when decriminalisation took place. Treat it as a problem and not a crime and then you're half way to dealing with the problem).

Not to mention the moral argument, which imo, is key. If I want to take drugs and I know the risks, who are you to tell me not to? If I pay take on the drug and fancy having an E tablet every now and then or a joint, why shouldn't I?

How are these 6 people any different to alcohol companies? (In terms of the dealing, not the fact they're probably involved in other crime).
