Where do you stand on the legalization of drugs?
I think Marijuana is hardly the worst thing out there. I would put alcohol above it. If they legalise one though, does this start a chain?
Im sure money can be made off this. They already rape people for Tobaccco.

all drugs should be legalized, regulated and taxedDrugs such as heroin, where there is greater danger because of overdose or dirty needles etc should be managed via prescription and shooting galleries.
Stimulants like cocaine and ecstasy should be available over the counter in chemists.
Cannabis should be available through the same retail outlets as alcohol, and there should be designated premises for its consumption, as under the Dutch coffee shop model.

Luckily, the amount of heroin I use is harmless. I inject about once a month on a purely recreational basis. Fine.
But what about other people less stable, less educated, less middle-class than me?
Builders or blacks for example. If you're one of those, my advice to you is leave well alone.
Good luck.

it means 'it seems to me'So 'methinks the lady doth protest too much' means 'it seems to me that her protestations are suspiciously vociferous'.

(, Wed 11 Dec 2013, 13:01, Reply)
I just told you that "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" means "I think the lady is promising too much."
The phrase's actual meaning is, "I think the lady is promising too much." In the play, Hamlet's father has died, and his father's ghost has told Hamlet that he has been murdered (by Claudius). Hamlet has arranged a play for his mother, Gertude, and his uncle and stepfather, King Claudius, to watch: "The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king." Hamlet wants to see if Claudius squirms or sweats at the point in the play where the woman's husband is murdered by her lover (or future lover). If so, he will have some evidence that Claudius killed his father. Hamlet arranges for the woman in the play to promise ("protest") to her husband that if he dies, she will never remarry. At this point, Hamlet asks his mother how she likes the play so far, and Gertrude famously replies, "The lady protests too much, methinks." Gertrude is protecting her own conscience about having married Hamlet's uncle after his father died. Hamlet replies, "O, but she'll keep her word." Pointing out that his mother has not lived up to the standard of the woman in the play.
If you think it means 'it seems to me that her protestations are suspiciously vociferous'. then you are wrong, on the Internet. Anyway argue with Shakespeare not me.

I think weed should be class A with a mandatory 25 years inside for possessionNot because its bad but because of those cunts who post fuckloads of facebook posts about legalising it saying "Look at all the uses, look paper, look rope, look oil" "Why can we grow poppies and not weed" etc etc
These cunts can fuck off, they would never make rope or paper if it was legal and rope and paper already is made from hemp in the UK with a home office licence. I would have more respect if they said "Legalise weed because its a plant that gets you high and I like it" Oh and the weed cures cancer people can fuck off too. It causes lung cancer if smoked so I wouldn't say its harmless.
