I'd hate to fight a war on drugs.
WWII was largly fought on drugs. We handed out dexedrine, the Germans handed out Methedrine, I know the Russians used some form of amphimine, no odea about the other combatants.

Viet nam was infested with all kinds of drugs, but not offically.

Care to explain what rule I broke?

And don't say "The rule where I don't like it."

To the surprise of many, the American Medical Association is now openly calling for the FDA to ban direct-to-consumer drug advertising, a deceptive marketing channel that was only legalized by the FDA in 1997.

Since then, drug prices have skyrocketed, health care costs have hit the stratosphere, and consumers are asking their doctors for an increasingly bewildering array of high-priced patented chemicals (medications) that, for the most part, don't even work on most people.

Instead of America's health getting better, it's getting WORSE. More people now suffer from not just chronic degenerative disease, but also now the side effects of taking dangerous prescription medications to supposedly treat those diseases.

The result is that America has become the most expensive, corrupted and unethical health care system in the world, where Big Pharma profits drive nearly every regulatory decision and political action.

Now, the AMA says it's time to stop the insanity of advertising prescription drugs on television, and there's no doubt the AMA is correct on this point.

Do you know why the AMA is so against drugs being marketed to consumers?

It's not just because they care about patients.

It's because the law you're referring to wasn't really made so drug companies could market to patients; it's so they could stop wining and dining doctors and basically paying them to prescribe their medications.

Nothing has changed. Those dollars now are used on advertising rather than buying doctors.

All the AMA wants is their perks back.

I'm not saying it's good to market drugs to consumers. It's not. They have no idea wtf they're seeing or what they're talking about 90% of the time.

But let's not pretend the AMA is altruistic in this.

Hollywood has been making money helping glorify Drugs by making movies on them throughout the years to encourage generations to keep the drug business alive. It's disturbing how effective the propaganda and meds have left Americans deaf dumb and blind to what's being done to them.

Wow. How anti-First Amendment can you get?

It's their right to glorify whatever they want and it's my right to put whatever I want in my body.

Stop quashing my personal freedoms.

Despite you and Nik getting all Feely about rednecks on me earlier, you missed the fact that I was referencing people within my circles of friends and family because I'm one myself at heart.

As that applies to this thread, what I'm saying is, the only think I do is downers.

As for the OP, assuming legality was not an issue for me (even though it is a big one), I've always been curious about LSD. But yeah. No trust for the purveyors and what I'd be getting, and the legality.

Even if pot was legal I doubt I would be into it. Cause I wouldn't stop drinking and it would just add to killing whatever brain cells I have left.

You can still manage tequila? Are we talking straight or mixed?

Where is tequila illegal?

Straight. I learned long ago I could put mixed drinks like daiquiris down as fast as soda pop. Not for near as long. Besides it gives a girl great street cred when she shoots straight shots. I sip today though.

The darknet says hi
The darknetnet is a better source than some dude at a rave just how?

People post verified tests of people's stuff all the time. People have reputations on the darknet. Reviews and other buyer feedback is how they get business. No one is going to buy from some dude who has no or sketchy reviews.

There are a few independent analytical labs that will test your drugs for a small fee, including Energy Control in Spain.

http://energycontrol.org/international.html

"Energy Control emerged in Barcelona in 1997 as a pioneer project in Spain in the area of reducing the risks associated with recreational drug use, having since received recognition from numerous government administrations (European, state, community and local)."

Of course you can get ripped off or scammed, but it seems more typical with drugs like heroin and cocaine that I don't bother with. If I were to use the darknet, I'd feel more secure than using street dealers for weed and psychedelics by a large amount. Plus, I don't have to leave my house ^_^

Anyway, here's an article on how the darknet is a much safer medium for obtaining drugs.

I'm thirty-one and liquor of any kind sounds like hell now. Goosh! No thank you.

Thanks for the response, but are you talking about El Paso, Texas? Not discounting this, but I think I need to ask my dad about this one.

Padre to Matamoros has been the collegiate, daredevil Spring Break pit-stop since the 1970's in Texas. I can't fathom El Paso being dry.

El Paso county was dry when I first visited it at 13. I was astounded. I had never heard of a dry county. I knew that NC was a dry state but a dry county?

I asked my host why. "Well, the preachers and bootleggers keep voting it that way."

Texas Dry Counties as of November 2015:

1. Borden
2. Collingsworth
3. Hemphill
4. Kent
5. Martin
6. Roberts
7. Throckmorton
