    Its the biggest drug available worldwide because it is legal in most countries. It is incredibly easy to get hold of alcohol due to its legality. To argue that it causes X amount of deaths is splitting hairs. The majority of the world drinks alcohol, therefore the potential that it kills people is greater. However, if you look at the ratio of death per user of alcohol against that of illicit drugs, I would wager the ratio of the latter is far higher.

    If the majority of the world makes alcohol legal, and cannabis illegal, there will be a reason.

    How is it splitting hairs when it is an actual fact that it does cause deaths. When have you heard of anyone dying because they smoked too much weed?

    Just because it is illegal in places now does not mean that it will stay like that forever, especially after recent studies like I've stated, proving its use. There is far too much money in the alcohol business for it ever to become illegal. Governments tax the absolute shiiite out of it. Their main interest lies in the money to be made from it. Simple as. I doubt much sleep is being lost over health issues caused from alcohol.

    Accusations of trolling from a guy with 37 posts, all used up in one thread... Interesting...

    They're not all posted in one thread? Great detective skills there Clouseau!

    That should be, you haven't a clue have you?

    If you want to debate with me, please go to school first and learn basic literacy skills.

    Its fascinating that all of those who attack me accuse me of not having a clue, and essentially being thick. Not a single one of you can write properly though. Interesting.

    So resorting to insults is the way to go is it?

    You weren't asking a question so you don't need to use a question mark.

    Awful literacy skills yet again.

    So you have possession with no dealing. That really makes sense. Possession isn't illegal, but dealing is? So where do they get it from? The same place you're talking through I suppose.

    No point arguing with ignorant ****.

    So resorting to insults is the way to go, is it?

    I've been insulted numerous times in this thread, a fact conveniently ignored when I hit back. The point is you challenge my knowledge or drugs, firearms and ammunition. I challenge your basic abilities to read and write. If I so wish, I can use my literacy skills to find out about the above. You can't. Not unless you go back to school anyway.

    The link between alcohol and narcotics is tenuous but the link between cannabis and other narcotics is quite strong? What planet are you on? Someone smoking a few joints on a Saturday night is more likely to order a pizza than ket, pills or a bag of coke! I think you will find the customers desiring those products will be in pubs or clubs, you actually don't have a clue! :D

    Well actually i do . If a substance is ilegal then their is a logical reason for it.

    The law is the law so person smoking ilegal sudstances is breaking the law.

    Any person who buys ilegal substances is breaking the law.

    The problem is if the ordinary person didnt buy these banned sustances

    then the drug dealers would not have an market.

    I AM ON PLANET EARTH where i live by the law of the state.

    So seeing as you cant properly address some of the points asked of you, you have now decided to attack the poster over their english language abilities. Well now I totally believe all the nonsense you espouse! :rolleyes:

    No there isn't, so I'll take your advice and not argue with you.

    Glad to see your ability with the English language ends with the use of swear words though.

    I'm not living in a fantasy anyway and was only pointing out that he has served his time and should be left alone after that. Granted if he breaks the law he should be dealt with like anyone else. But what's the point in putting people in prison with a justice system if people are wishing you dead after you've served your time. Nobody should be murdered, period. It's a horrible trait in a person for them to wish someone else dead especially when they've only ever read about them in the news papers, reading massive amounts of false information.

    They will deal with me because I responded to insults by calling into question the literacy skills of those insulting me?

    So be it.

    I'm not going to lose sleep if I end up not being able to use Boards. I will, however, continue to remark on your weakness with the English language in the hope, probably unfounded, that I will teach you something.

    Damn, I retired one week too soon.

    The legality of something has no real correlation with its potential for harm to a society. Remember homosexuality was illegal until 1993 and i think we can all agree that making that illegal did not protect the Irish from some great danger.

    Literacy has nothing to do with this argument. Use it as a scapegoat all you liek to evade the real issue. It only makes you look bad.

    Thank-you for a reasoned response, even if I don't agree with it. Everyone in Ireland, and a lot of people abroad, know what Gilligan did. He's a menace, who, allegedly, would think nothing of attacking anyone who gets in his way. If, by hoping that the majority of people in this country would be safer due to the parting of this man is a horrible trait, then I'll stick with the majority.

    Oh I nearly weed myself laughing at that one. So, given that alcohol is legal in the vast majority of the world meaning most will have tried it, you're now trying to claim that anyone who drinks a drop of alcohol is a potential drug addict. Ahahahahaha... away back to school with you.

    A poster with the name Capone, not exactly the most likely to be impartial in a debate about a gangster are you.

    Next you'll be telling me that I should taken reasoned argument on fascism from a member of the English Defence League.

    Look Taffy unless you live under a rock and have no clue what way society or young adults think or act I suggest you go and learn the facts.Students and teenagers who use alcohol exhibit a significantly greater likelihood of using both licit and illicit drugs.

    Seeing things with your own two eyes instead of getting all your wrong info out of the Sunday times might help you aswell, because you're absolutely clueless as it is!!

    It is indicative of the intelligence of the person making the comments though, isn't it.

    I've debated the points at hand, which you responded to with insults. If you want to debate reasonably, I'm happy to do so, without trading personal remarks. However, if you want to make it personal, then I will defend myself. I didn't drag this to the low level the debate has reached. You and your pro-John Gilligan crew did that.

    Now, that said, if a single one of the people I have spoken about doesn't refrain from being insulting I will be extremely surprised.

    I'm clueless, yet I can write properly.

    The fact is the majority of teenagers and students who drink alcohol do not move onto drugs. You're just making things up now.

    As said before, if everyone can put insults to bed then we can move on with the debate. I would be very surprised, however, if the people who are attacking me prove themselves capable of doing that.

    What insult have I thrown your way? Also, why am I all of a sudden Pro-Gilligan? I'm merely challenging the argument you've made....

    Its amazing how narrow minded and ignorant some people can be, especially when not being able to defend themselves in a proper manner.

    Literacy also has nothing to do with intelligence. So if someone has dyslexia, does that mean that they are not intelligent enough to interact in an argument with you? Jog on
