h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ehhh....

I don´t think that whatever s**t you use, it´s any worse than alcohol... I quite like alcohol in it´s various servings, but I´m not apt to jump to grass and the lot...

I don´t think you have to try everything to say something about it... To much has been tried on animals with lethel effect - so I kind of wouldn´t want to have experience with e.g.: strichnin

It´s more a question of what´s acceptable... Hey, Pan... what ARE you looking at

Yes .... I don't have to stand in the middle of the road, in front of an oncoming truck to figure out that it will be bad for my health .... then again ... I'll have another ...

Do what you got to do... Be who you got to be...

Make mine a nice large vt , please!

D! if you´re hooked on that, I think we´ll have to talk....










































about the recipe... Try putting in some chayene pepper...

This place is getting very odd.

Oh, in relation to the marijuna thing, there's a big debate at the moment about drugs in Britain and it seems the main reason people think marijuna should be banned is that it leads to harder drugs such as heroin, rather than being life-threatening in itself.

My view is that the people this happens to are normally people with addictive personalities, so that if they didn't have an escalating drug habit, would probably be drinking or smoking themselves to a slow painful death rather than taking this rather quicker route to a still painful demise.

To argue that marijuna should be illegal as t leads to harder drugs seems an odd argument- in Holland it is legal and there are fewer drug related deaths- if it were not illegal, there would not be the same stigma attached to seeking help for addiction. If you seek help for alcoholism, you get it. If you seek help for drug addiction you get taken to court or sent to jail. You are punished rather than helped.

That's just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

I believe that the whole drug discussion is - if one would go by cause and effect, i.e. what causes people to die, no one would have the idea to let cars be illegal, just because so many people a year die in accidents. And there´s far more people dying from being hit by coconuts then by any desease you could catch in the apropriate contries...

I can see that there´s a history behind drug abuse. And in our case it´s mariujana being treated as the illegal whatever. And a lot of people seem to just be intersted in drugs, because it´s something to annoy adults. Why do people take drugs on a regualar basis? Why do people drink themselves blind? I guess it´s a whole tangled up mishmash of things that would need sorting out, and drugs just give you the cool to survive it... Or you do it as others drink a glass of wine... But I suspect that not many people are able to control their use of it, just as not a lot of people have control over the amount of alcohol they consume... just have a look at people in an old peoples home... Bunches of drug addicts, I bet!

Oh, you guys are too cute!
Sillies...but I do have to agree with E., about one thing, scientists
have been able to determin "they" cause cancer in labroratory animals!
...*thinks to herself...give a wee rat a mongo dose of anything and it will die...*
Why, the ONLY reason I even drink is because when I was little and asked my father why he drank so much, he showed me.
He put an earthworn into burbon and it died!!! See, drink booze and you'll never get worms!

well, i must say thats a relief

Of course it's a relief!
Sorta' like adults who choose to medcate themselves...it's the responsible thing to do! But like all medications, & ===~~ is best when used in moderation! Excuse me whilst I step into the alley...my knee's just killing me...ever since I did that strip-tease during the Maypole dance last year
...*on her way out to the alley...Pandora turns and says, ...* What say WE have a MAY DAY PARTY!!!! WWHOOOOO-HOOOOO!!! A reason to party!! ...*opens the door expecting to find a little something S.Dude might have left behind on the window ledge..*

A lot of things in the States are illegal until the age of 18 or 21... I think that causes a lot of problems. A lot. Thank you.

Hear Hear!!! Not that it matters to me anymore, but still, I remember when it did, and I agree totally with m'Lady D.

Oh, and Pandora, you don't need to go looking for S.Dude's leavings... this right here is still going...

::takes another hit and passes it to Pandora::

*Goes to jukebox and puts on Ian Dury and the Blockheads (YAY!!! for Blockheads): Hit me with your rythm stick... hit me hit me hit me...

You prefer Hit ME With Your Rhythm Stick to Sweet Gene Vincent ??? Philistine!

Say Thog, I think it only out of consideration we smoke in the alley. For one thing, I've put comfy lounge chairs & umbrellas out there this month. I mean, these guys don't force us to drink...'sept for when Kes there makes a bucket-o-tinis...I just can't resist that! So, why make them have to breath our second &/ or third hand smoke? Besides, not everyone savors the smell! After all...when in Rome...

Actually I like that song "Wake up, and make love to me..." one of his best.

There´s a "tribute record" to Ian Dury about... I listend to it in a shop... real good cover versions by a whole line up of good musicians...

*Stops lurking and hobbles forward.*

All good things in moderation, children.

Hey! I am back! and in a really really good mood...

for everyone!

OF COURSE you're in a good mood, mari-rae, you've been lurking back there snorting tha vapors, haven't you!

Oh, and Pan, I'm sorry, I thought we WERE in the alley, but now I see I have been confused... ::sigh::
