I was wondering how many people know about who deciedes weather it is a legal drug or not. If you do can you reply and tell me if you know and who it is?

jar,in our nation, parliament decides everything, although they may listen to experts before they decide. they also listen to the people who help them get elected by contributing cash or votes.

the 'hotel' industry actually makes it's living from alcohol and pokies, so they whisper in the ear of politicians "if your want our money, no drugs, more gambling". they call it democracy, but they lie a lot.

Super-people who are better and smarter than you are the ones who decide what you're allowed to consume. Duh.

You see, as an adult citizen and a human being, you're incapable of making your own decisions about what you put into your own body. That's why you need super smart politicians to make these decisions for you.

'But aren't they just people too?' I hear you ask. The answer, of course, is no. They're way better. So much better in fact, that like every other citizen, you will accept their word that they know what they're talking about and there's no need for you to go to the trouble of thinking about it yourself and form your own opinion.

Of course there'll sometimes be some elite smarty pants medical scientists talking about 'facts' and other nonsense. Never mind them, they can't possibly make a difference, because they don't make the laws. How, for example could alcohol possibly be more dangerous than marijuana? I mean, that's what all the sciency guys agree on, but the law says the opposite, so they must be wrong. Trust the law. No need to worry yourself. How about TV then? Look at that! Pretty distracting! You're fine. Look over there!

Of course other than the lobbyists,who usually remain anonymous ,you have some pollies who have a personal belief system ,usually one with the Christian sects who lobby other pollies to make legal or not a drug.We adult ,fair minded ,intelligent ,live in the real world adults don't have much say in it so we have to join the Bread and Circus brigade,watch commercial telly and weep quietly.

He,who buries his head in the sands of ignorance, is most likely to get his bum kicked.

Aspro, was this a proverb taken from the anals of famous sayings or from the anals of anuses?

Jared, re-read your initial comment on this issue, check the spelling and then ask rather who and what about the drugs issue."whether-decision"

Drugs are made illegal so organised crime can sell them and make huge profit.
Drugs are made illegal so politicians can make a lot of noise about Laura Norder.
Drugs are made illegal by ignorant lazy people who love jingles and slogans.
Drugs are made illegal because Dupont invented nylon and lobbied the US govt. to ban hemp so they could steal the hemp market, and our pollies are sheep.
