Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I am aware of the Portugal legalizations. I do not think they set up dispensaries where only the selected few who pay the fees are allowed to sell the way America does it. I thought when I looked into Portugal some years back that everything was completely decriminalized, not some quasi decriminalization where only the selected can sell and if someone who sells not from a dispensary will still be arrested and charged with dealing, all cause they did not tithe the government. It is different there

Oh, it's only decriminalization at this point - which is Portugal. If you want to see where dispensaries are set up by the government, look at Holland. Once again, the ODs dropped to a trivial percentage. Holland's got the dispensaries.

I'm a betting man. IF the legislation is enacted in Maine, I bet you $100 we see improvements within 3 years. (It'll take that long for the data to come in and be sure it's not just a temporary improvement.) For improvements we'll use number of deaths due to overdosing.

LOL I'm pretty confident that the number of ODs will drop - and drop significantly, just from decriminalization.

I don't know.

One of my girlfriends daughters has overdosed three times just this year already, and I am pretty sure that it does not have anything to do with it being illegal. With her, she was just going to a bigger dose

There's always gonna be stupid people. Believe it or not, not all drug users are stupid. Most of 'em you won't even know are users.

Most users have families, successful careers, etc... We just notice the outliers, the ones that couldn't maintain their use. Also, these same users are the idiots that tend to get caught with drugs and end up in jail. We notice the junkies. We notice the fucking idiots that can't maintain. At least that's my observation.

Well, no... There's a skew towards the dumber or poorer - but it's not as large a skew as people think. For every full blown junkie I know, I probably know a half dozen users that use and maintain their shit well enough to function.
