Foxy Lady: Aside from telling me a thing about using this product in a way I hadn't thought of, I do not see what it has to do with computers. It's mostly written in a very biased and anti-drug misinformation style regardless how often this might have happened (Yeah, lawn darts are a threat too) but really, where's the facts? Our society just doesn't know anything if one stops to think about it. Can we not think critically any more? Marijuana has never, and I mean never ever, killed anyone. And believe you me, we know the government has been searching for the dangers to marijuana for a long time. Skydiving kills people every year. Which one is legal? Does this make sense? And don't tell me jumping out of an airplane doesn't get the jumpers high! It is an expensive hobby and takes the diver away from his family. If he dies while skydiving, a lot of insurance companies won't pay, or make him pay more for coverage, again hurting his family. I see so much hypocracy in our society in its handling of things, I cannot but wonder where it's leading us. I can legally buy a crossbow or a Berreta 9mm gun, but nowhere are new Lawn Darts to be found?! Whiskey is legal and marijuana isn't? Now you've told me about some aerosol product that can be used like this. If anything, you're making the problem worse because some people will now try it out that hadn't even considered such a use. Police officers, and especially the ones that go to various schools and proselytize about the dangers of society posed to our children, are about the least credible people I know of when I'm seeking answers to a question. They have a mission and they will tell you want they want without giving you all the facts to make an informed decision. It is because of them and the lies told to me about drugs that I had to independently reseach this for myself. They lied. One thing they were right about is that drug laws are trouble. What they don't tell you is that it's not the drugs that are the trouble! Breaking the law is the trouble. That, and the main thing that is always left unaddressed. Why take drugs in the first place? Why not teach people how to take drugs safely? This whole thing about not taking drugs is the biggest hypocracy of all. If a drug company sells it, it's OK? That's what I gather from watching television anyway. You're sad? Take this. You're anxious? Take this. You have erection problems? Take this. Can't lose weight? Take this. Trouble sleeping? Take this. Depressed? Take this. When one is really sick, that's when you need drugs to cure what ails you. If I want to take drugs just to see what they'll do to me or if I want to repeat a previous experience, what's the deal and why is it any of your business? Why is this activity against the law? What is the logic to throwing someone in jail for drug use that's not for medicinal reasons? If you don't like drugs, the solution is easy. Don't take them. Keep your non-drug use to yourself and leave me alone. Reality is for people that can't handle drugs. Believe me, I've seen enough friends and acquantices lives ruined from irresponsible drugs use. They made a choice and were stupid in the exercise of their choice. I've also seen people that have no problem using drugs, or even benefit from their use. People can and will get their drugs. The most controlled place in society is prison, right? And yet, a prisoner can get drugs. Do we want to lock our whole society down just because some people don't like others getting high? We have plenty of laws dealing with people misbehaving, we do not need drug laws. It amazes me that our country didn't learn this lesson from the Prohibition era. It should be apparent that what we're doing now isn't working and it's making criminals out of a lot of otherwise law abiding citizens. Why penalize people that can use drugs responsibly?Criminalizing a product that has a very large demand creates crime where a crime didn't previously exist. It also causes corruption amoung law enforcement. I want the police to enforce laws that are made to protect me from real criminals, like burgulars, carjackers, extortionists, shysters, and shady politicaians. What harm is caused to me from someone smoking a joint or shooting heroin? Why throw them in jail? Drug laws also lessen the respect for other laws. And don't forget about our freedoms lost when the cops use the facade of drugs to stop or search you and say it is because you fell into the profile of a drug dealer or some other "reason". If people could buy the drugs they wanted down at Sav-on or their local pharmarcy as they do with buying their other prescriptions, or even down at a 7-11 if we really made it easy to get them, it would immediately eliminate drug cartels, drug gangsters, and cops on the take. It would not eliminate drug abuse or problems caused by irresponsible drug use, but at least we'd not have our prisons full of people who on the main are hurting no one or only hurting themselves. It would save lives since the quality of the drugs and the dose would now be known quantities for the users. We could certainly modify the tort laws so that people that use a drug for recreational uses would not be allowed to sue the sellor or manufacturer and said user could also be made fully responsible for all of his actions and not be able to use the fact he was high at the time to get off the hook.

Coincidentally, I have a cat named Thor.
