Also: I happen to know what high school zealot goes to in oklahoma and the drug test for parking permit thing isn’t something he’s making up. Seems absurd to me as it seems like the school is using it as a an excuse to drug test their students without real justification. Could you provide more info on what test you took zealot! |

--- Quote from: TristanLuigi on December 14, 2017, 07:00:20 PM ---okay, it's harmless to others --- End quote --- Not exactly, drugs could cause the users to be violent, overly emotional, etc. This could potentially be a danger to those around the user. --- Quote from: TristanLuigi on December 14, 2017, 07:00:20 PM ---and spending hours every day in a chair playing video games probably isn't harmless to the player, either we don't punish people for eating junk food or what about self-harm or cutting? that's definitely harmful to the person doing it, but instead of punishing it, we try to help the person overcome the underlying problem --- End quote --- Yeah but video games don't make you violent or a danger to anyone around you. Same with junk food, except your poor eating habits make you a danger to yourself. Self harm is obviously harmful to only the person. It can have emotional effects on those around the person who is harming themself however. I also don't see how thats relevant to drug use at all. |
