I don't get what all the buzz is about.

I smoked it in my late teens and early twenties but have no interest in it now, legal or illegal. Never tried cigarettes. Couldn't stand the smell. Marijuana smoke never bothered me like cigarette smoke does.
So when I get my season ski pass next winter, will I have to worry about out-of-control stoners or will they just all fall over somewhere along the trail?

So, do you propose stopping the manufacture of these pain killers, and let surgery patients tough it out?
That stuff will make your babies be born nekkid!

Sure. Let's make Oxycontin over-the-counter too.

I didn't suggest either. But maybe people in pain would be better off taking a hit of opium than a synthesized variation of the same product. Or a toke of marijuana. If people want a drug badly enough, they're going to get it, law or no law. And if not that, the next-best thing. There's been a rash of heroin overdoses in my area over the past several years. I'd suggest that they're the upshot of oxycodone and hydrocodone abuse. I got a round of Vikes when I had double hernia surgery several years ago. They didn't do that much for me (I still hurt like hell) but then I didn't grind them up and inject them for maximum effect. From the Oct. 13 edition of Science Daily, quoting the American Journal of Public Health: "Rates of fatal overdoses caused by analgesic opioids have increased dramatically in the United States over the past 5 years. The prevalence of nonmedical analgesic drug abuse is second only to that of marijuana abuse." It's just ironic that drugs that are a leading cause of narcotic-related deaths were created under perfectly legal conditions by legitimate businesses.
I probably would, if I were in a group of people sitting around and some pulled out a joint. I better go see if I can find my love beads and peace symbol earrings.

I felt absolutely no euphoria, no rush, no high whatsoever from oxycodone. How people get hooked on it is a mystery to me.
If we are all sitting around smoking a joint, then we'll need some music.
I don't know, mixed feelings really - why legalise something else that can only add to society's need to escape reality?
Anyone remember this song? "You gotta let it out Captain!"
