    That it's a slippery slope to a rapid increase in addictions and addicts.
    In every country around the world where decriminalisation has been introduced, it has led to a massive decrease in addictions, addicts and crime.

    That it's those naughty children of the 60s.  Now they have enough people in power to have it their way, against the good sense of the rest of us.

    Many of the naughty children of the 60's never made it past the 70's.

    That it is going to cause more crime.  

    That it is going to lessen crime.

    That taking drugs is a crime.

    That addiction can be stopped because the addict might go to jail.

    Yeah, right.  Addiction cannot be stopped most times even when the addict knows he's gonna die.




    1. Mikey got with Sharon, Sharon got Sheriee
      She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
      Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
      They were all in love with  dying they were doin' it in Texas
      Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
      Then he lost his leg in Dallas he was dancin' with the train
      They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountian
      That is pouring like an avalance coming down the mountian
      I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
      I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
      Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
      You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
      Some will die in hot pursuit and firey auto crashes
      Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
      Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountian
      That is pouring like and avalance coming down the mountian
      I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
      I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
      Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
      You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
      Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
      Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus
      Then there was the ever-present football player rapist
      They were all in love with dying they were doin' it in Texas
      Holly caught a bullet but it only hit his leg
      While it should have been a better shot he got him in the head
      They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountian
      That was pouring like an avalance coming down the mountian
      I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
      I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
      Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
      You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

    That everyone will use them with sense and responsibility.  
    Only those with a really good reason will use them.

    You cannot get in trouble for possessing it.

    You may possess all you want.

    You may grow it.

    You may sell it.

    You may gift it.

    You may use it wherever you like.

    If you get in trouble for it, there is no record of it.

    It will never interfere with employment.
