Message: <blockquote data-quote="RidgeHunter" data-source="post: 1354311" data-attributes="member: 4319">FYI, the Mountain Dew mouth is found in young children that don't do meth. I threw that in as a laugh, but it does actually coincides with what I'm saying.It's not the substance, it's the issues of why the people are using it. Why the hell are these people giving babies Mountain Dew and not teaching them proper dental hygeine? The problem is not the Mountain Dew. That's a symptom.Shoulda asked. I'm against drug prohibition mainly because I believe it to be an ineffectual way at combating our drug problem in America. I don't think it will make it go away. Far from it. I just think that the prohibition is not keeping the numbers from being much higher, as you think.I think the effect prohibition has is very minor on the amount of people using and/or addicted to drugs. Straying from the murder and rape hyperbole, do you think that gun bans have a significant effect at reducing gun crime?C'mon now, I'm not taking issue or getting upset. I'm not picking at your use of "a lot". I'm picking at your idea that drug prohibition is keeping a large segment of the population from diving headlong into self-destruction, which you said in pretty much those exact terms.I just think that number would not be anywhere close to large.Environment and experience? Please. You seem to think I'm picking on you, so you're responding in kind. All I picked on was one thing you said, which I just outlined directly above this. I disagree with that theory, that is all. I tried to give my reason for that.But if it makes you feel better, I can give you Steve Martin-esque story about my environment and experience. "I was born a poor black child..."</blockquote>
