Question by Frank N: Why do cops love shooting innocent people and abusing the handicapped?
It’s sad that just like prohibition, our current drug laws only empower criminals and lead to violent crime. Everyone knows cops need to be around to protect us against rapists, killers, robbers etc. But why do cops murder people over a plant that God gave us as a gift? Why do cops enjoy murdering people and going all commando like clowns? Read some of these stories and answer.

http://www.mpp.org/victims/index.jsp?page=3
I’m not saying all plants are healthy, and if you were educated, which you obviously are not, you would know that alcohol and tobacco are infinitely more dangerous than marijuana. That’s a scientific fact.

Best answer:

Answer by ProUSA2
Which plant are you talking about?? The plants that “gave” us heroin and poisonous mushrooms?

Do you realize there are THOUSANDS of “plants” in this world that are hazardous to your health?

Please don’t tell me you are insinuating that since something is a plant, it’s gotta be good for you!!!!

Edit:

If YOU were educated, you would be able to read and understand what I posted. I said nothing about marijuana, alcohol, or tobacco. YOU are the one that mentioned specific plants. I simply made a FACTUAL statement, which you obviously didn’t like because it ruined your entire “God gave us plants therefore they are a gift from God” claim!! But, since you mention it…using your line of logic…tobacco is a plant…it’s gotta be a “gift from God”, huh? Why are you talking about how bad it is for you?

My statement is FACT. If you don’t like it, too bad!!!! Deal with it!!!!

BTW

Alcohol…taken in moderation (1 drink per day)…is actually beneficial to your health. Your “scientific fact” is WRONG!!!

Question by beenthereb4: Alcoholic Husband has started Therapy, but is drinking more! Husband of 3.5 years is an alcoholic…?
Stopped drugs about a month ago. At my urging, he started seeing an individual counselor about 2 mths ago & is supposed to start an intensive outpatient program for alcohol/drugs soon(already had intake appt). Thing is, I am 6 mths pregnant with our 2nd child and our 1st is 15 mths. I am also in individual counseling for this. At my counselors urging, I stopped nagging him about his use of these things. It’s gotten WORSE! I am having I have tons of emotion (mostly anger and hurt) . He is working and is successful at paying all the bills, etc. He, however, does not know how to support me emotionally (never learned these skills as a child – and is in counseling to help him.) He is an AWESOME father-somehow able to show emotion he cannot show to anyone else. Tonight, after getting home from a business trip which started his drinking binge all over, he is at the bar with his MOTHER, both getting drunk! Should I give him more time or leave before this baby is born? I am looking into Alanon.
Thank you SOOOO much, Shelley W.! You said EVERYTHING I THOUGHT regarding “Danza’s” reply! I thought it was rather harsh, as I am 37yo and have waited as long as I could to have kids, so YES, I do know about birth control! I simply adore kids and regardless, knew my “alcoholic” husband would be a good dad, at least because his dad was never around and that he would support me/them. (I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I won’t miss any moment of their 1st steps, etc.) Thanks for giving me hope, as well. It helps to know that my prayers can be answered. I mainly wrote this for moral support, as his family (esp. his mom!) enables him to no end, making constant excuses about “that’s just how he is, how he’s always been” and I FINALLY turned to his mom who lives locally, for emotional support.I feel like she has just stabbed me in the back! When I just had our 1st, she lived with us and they got drunk together as I learned to take care of a newborn! BTW, she DROVE him to her house tonight.
