    good point !!

    we also have to look at the reasons for uk's drug dependancy !!
    it is a shit assed country....
    so people get bored and look for a "way out"
    the rest of europe has almost 24hr drinking
    fines as instead of a criminal record and more for petty crime
    working hours are less
    better education standards
    more relaxed laws against the "lighter drugs"
    more family related time
    and uk has one of the lowest taxes but rest of europe only taxes something one time !!!
    i.e
    a guy buys a diamond ring from manufacturer for £300 = £52.50 v.a.t then sells to a jeweller +profit + v.a.t then the jeweller sells to public + v.a.t + profit
    so £157.50 of the ring is just the v.a.t :mad:
    in most of europe the v.a.t is added only at time of first purchase of the original gold bullion.
    so you work a whole week just to pay the v.a.t on a ring you like

    :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Pete can have a rather negative attitude aswell, I think that I'm just far too optimistic. ;)

    Also Spence, any legally synthed drugs would be near enough 100% pure quality, it's all relative and 125mg mdma would be pretty much 125mg mdma. EU standards are good for something I suppose.

    Considering the amount of passed hands plus all the additional costs of aquiring illicit precursors from dodgy sources I think stuff could be synthed pretty cheaply, and tax wouldn't be that much of an issue. People pay rediculous prices for "legal highs" with shite marketing slogans, when if they had any brains/could be half arsed they could buy the pure substance for relatively cheap. I think most people just don't give a shit though and can't be arsed to look into it.

    RAVERBABY1980 - I think that the idea that drug users are looking for a way out of anything is a massively over-stated and missused comment. Personally I couldn't give a fuck about taxes, education and fines. I get more than enough money to get by, I have no gripes with my education and have never recieved a fine (excluding metro). They always seem like such cliche topics for people to get so outraged about, personally I just have massive gripes about opressive governments violating our human rights and like to alter my sensory input and mode of thought. I like seeing things from a different perspective, it's got not nothing to do with escaping these so called giant problems that most people experience. I quite simply love getting wrecked. I just have something about people being locked up for what is essentialy nothing.

    Fuck it, bring on the counter-culture.

    I didn't get through the course by copying where'd you get that from? i might have done on a couple of things but you told me you copied off people at work all the time to get answers cos u cudnt do the maths, and my course has fuck all to do with dance music, it's a band related course where i learn to record and EQ bands, so why would i be making a prog track? And how am i lazy, im studying doing what i like, and train pretty much everyday, then work, ded lazy like sorry i dont live to get wrecked at the weekend, cos that takes alot of effort.

    For a starters where did i state anything of the sort about people being dumb for taking drugs? I said i done them, i enjoyed them, but don't think they should be legal because people can fuck up on them, simple as.

    And yes i chose to break the law, and yes i would have expected to get locked up if i got caught because it's against the law.

    OH SO NOW YOU WANT TO LEGALISE FOR THE WHOLE OF THE EU!!! NOT JUST THE UK:lol: :lol:

    I doubt the standards will be at the levels you need my friend:wink:

    The current system worked fine for my whole clubbing career, year on year price reductions, I never got caught by the Police, my family or bouncers.

    Loved buying in Ibiza due the fact you could barter more with Senegals finest than your UK dealer. I think the system is fine.

    does alcohol not work cos it's legal?
    do tabs not work cos theyre legal?
    if pills were legal they would work or people wouldn't buy them.

    You dont say. Your far leftie who more than likely reads the DailyKos. Me, I was a consumer so it was all about price.

    Well if it was ok for you to do them why not anyone else ? you must consider them more stupid than you if you were able to do them and not fuck up. why would they fuck up? and what exactly does fuck up mean in relation to MDMA? it is a more or less self limiting drug since doing masses of it all the time stops it working. It's almost anti-addictive.

    And Would you have sat in your cell thinking 'I deserve this I'm a menace to society', or 'I don't deserve this cos I never did anyone any harm?
    If the former then you're a fruit loop

    Taken to PM's because I don't want it to seem like we are arguing on the board, about something now completely off topic when we're not.

    WTF is the Daily Kos?
    And if all you care about is price then you are the perfect consumer- never mind the quality, feel the width

    I cant see how you can put so much faith in anything that would be ran by pharmaceutical companies & the government. Drug dealers serve the market place well, offering 0% tick, once you dealt with the same person over time if you felt you got crap gear & told them you more than likely got free gear.

    Fuck ringing a freephone number to say Proctor & Gamble explaining that last nights buzz wasn't quite kicking.

    Well of course you'd be expected to get locked up, the police aren't going to just send you on your merry way if you get caught (unless you do the blag of the century, aka me circa 2002).

    You would expect to get locked up, but does that mean that you'd think you deserved it?

    Honestly, if you were locked up for what is essentially a victimless crime, you'd think that you deserved it? Do you think that your average absolutely sound clubber if they got caught selling you pills and done for intent to supply circa 2004 in Promise would actually deserve a jail sentance? Pete I know that there is absolutely no way you'd just not give a shit, you'd have been gutted for them.

    The people in government are not on our side in this situation, they quite simply do not care what happens to us as they (wrongly) interpret us as a menace to society which is quite simply not true. I don't see how a bunch of clubbers can agree with this. These are peoples lives and prospects we are talking about, once you're on that kind of charge there is no way out.

    Spence - I still remember the night in egypt cottage circa 2004 that you told me you'd actually got hold of pure mdma, I was on an absolute mission from then on. :lol:

    A changed man now though, ex clubber if ever there was on. :(

    well said rossy many good points said which i cant be arsed to quote.

    it goes without saying loads of people on here, if not about 95 percent love getting wrecked on their substance of choice, however it all obviously comes with the risks. however small or large the risk is people take it, because they generally have the best time of their life every single time!

    i take that risk all the time, and its all in the name of good. to be honest i'm a right morbid cunt and really dont care about death that much. i came to terms with that years ago! (infact its very morbid since i'm only 20!) but still regardless of that, as rossy states so loudly, why should the police take away our right to have a good time, a laugh, a frisk, casual random patter in toilets etc when its all in the name of good! piss take. like i said earlier the culture is too strong and that means it wont fizzle out in a hurry. the buzz is just too good :D

    however, there's alot of dodgy cowie goin about at the minute, so i'm watching myself at global :lol:

    and in regards to the training thing that was said a few pages back (i think)

    i take 2 seratonin tablets before bed (basically holland & barrett herbal sleeping tablets) and a glass of milk if i can stomach it.

    i wake up still a little shaky but i can train just as hard as normal the day after, and the effects of the training feel increased slightly, which i know they arent, but the feeling is all that matters :lol:

    Laws need reviewing, but legalizing these chemicals is just a laughable idea. It would be impossible to regulate peoples usage.

    Anybody who supports the prohibation of drugs is essentialy supporting a totalitarian government.
