Not really the platform to be discussing if drugs should be legal or not but at the end of the day they are!
If players break their contract by doing anything contrary to the law and bringing disrepute to the NRL brand then it will be dealt with.
If performing simulated lewd act with a dog cost Pearce 8 weeks and $75k then lets see how the NRL deal with this.

You make very good points.
At different times in my life I have wondered why Governments dont control all the drugs & profit from it & the only reason I can think of why they dont is because people at the top make money from the way it is rather than letting Governments make the money. I dont have any facts but I would think the cartels & crooked Politicians, High ranking Military people, high ranking Federal Police control things & profit from it. They dont see the drugs themselves but they know about it & organise for it to be brought into Australia.

Good plot for a movie. The reason is because they're scared of losing the dinosaur "just say no" voters. And the Mums and Dads who think keeping drugs illegal will somehow prevent their kids from having drugs. When their kids already are having drugs.

Politicians must have it wrong then because according to some on here most people are on some sort of drugs

Best post of the thread. Like it or not, they are role models to a lot of kids.

And they will not get anywhere near the punishment JuJu got.

If you like to re read I didn't say sniffing petrol was legal , I said petrol isn't illegal..And yes moderation is the key to all legal substances .Abstenace would be the key to all illegal substances.Guess that makes me boring .Also not misinformed when you talk about the effects of weed , drugs on people with mental health issues as I have seen it at close quarters with my own eyes .Have also witnessed achohol addition from one of my parents if we are to be truthful and as a witness bro both I can inform you without hesitation that although they are both bad , drugs destroys the family from the inside and the out .Now if you have no actual logical information bon why drugs are good please unless you have lived and suffered then talk sense

Abstinence is unrealistic, moderation is a healthy middle ground.

Yeah literally anything can be bad for mental health, fast food, drugs, spending money, work etc. are you going to make it all illegal?

I’ve very much seen the negative effects of drugs close up in many different facets. I maintain that it’s on the individual though, and specifically on some individuals to know what they can and can’t take and abide by that.

I’m not as pro drug as I’ve probably made you believe, I understand their danger, I’ve seen it. I just think people can do what they want as long as they don’t hurt anyone. You can say they contribute to the drug trade but old mate is generally just a friend of a friend, it’s not breaking bad haha

My perspective is...
- I don't want anything to do with drug dealers. I think that once you're going out of your way to discover them and try lotsa different banned substances, a habit has formed. To me there's a big gap between sipping a beer at the dinner table and experimenting with illegal stuff purely to experience a different sort of high. Thrill seeking and socialising with dealers is very different from having a beer.

- From a risk management perspective, we know the long-term effects of alcohol and tobacco since they've been used so widely. Illegal drugs come with unquantifiable risks (physical, mental and social) which is dangerous in itself. For example most people who have been scheduled into mental health facilities have a history of abusing various illegal substances (sometimes it takes just one bong aged 15 to trigger lifelong psychotic illnesses). Maybe it's just 'them' and not 'you' but as somebody who has had a pretty farked up life already, I'm not willing to risk any illegal shyte with unknown consequences.

- Above all, dealing with crooks and actively breaking the law says a lot about one's character. Whether or not you agree with a law is largely irrelevant. I mean... it's illegal to possess pornographic cartoons that depict Bart having sex with Lisa... this is strictly speaking incest and child abuse material. I dare say a few of us may have stumbled upon such photos online while browsing through comedy sites (and nobody would consider such people paedophiles, or accessories to crime on the basis that they didn't immediately call the police). However, I don't think this makes consumption of such materials okay. If you're actively asking dealers for more images of this nature and collecting them on your computer then you're developing an illegal habit that says something about your character. May mot mean your the AFP's most wanted paedophile. But... it's a disregard for the law all the same, and a slight deviation from '1 or 2 funny pictures' (e.g. trying to bring home some child abuse materials from a Japanese comic store) is actually a pretty darn serious crime. With crimes, the boundaries ALWAYS have to sit somewhere and there will ALWAYS be people arguing that something sitting 2mm over the line isn't a 'real crime'. However, why test it? Why actively network with people who are pushing the boundaries to the next level and seek advice from them on how you might emulate some of their experiences? IMO deliberately (and regularly) testing the line, with a blatant disregard for the fact that it exists says something about CHARACTER. If we're talking about footy players who we're considering throwing big money at then I think their CHARACTER (not the little individual mistakes they've made) is what counts.

Agree all things can contribute to mental health but drugs and from the things I have witnessed weed has a greater effect in causing and contributing to long lasting psychotic issues. Probably mainly because of what it is laced with nowadays

What is it laced with?
THC

Apparently they mix it with all types of other drugs. https://americanaddictioncenters.org...-be-laced-with

I think reefer madness must’ve got to you lol, laced?

No ones going to lace weed with anything unless they’re doing it for themselves. One it’s basically impossible and everything else is usually more expensive, so why would it be used as a lace? **** not to mention again, these drug dealers you speak of are there to make a quick buck, not kill anyone. It’s kinda funny how awkward these people generally are and not hardened criminals.

You can keep pumping out different theories as to your issue with it, but it simply stems down to you have no problem with legal drugs and do illegal. Legality is not the crux of morality.

Impossible according to you but not the experts . Mate you just keep toking away . Its all good and harmless fun .

[roostersrule2]

I didn’t say it was impossible, I said it was almost impossible simply because of how unlikely it is. You really think someone is going to put coke or meth on your weed? It’s 1000x more expensive and it’s not even going to do anything.

Also if your problem with something is that it could be laced then do you actually have a problem with it? Or just the things it’s being laced with lol?

Alcohol would be easier then most to lace things with as it’s a liquid things can dissolve into, does that make alcohol the problem?

Im no massive stoner or drug user but I’ve certainly participated in experimenting with a bunch of shit. The danger of drugs is generally on the individual, I’ll say it again I’ll say it 1000 times

Bro I am in my early 20’s, I am the expert because what they’re studying I’m experiencing.

You are going by someone whose studied something and then you a third party is reading that and making their own judgments and assumptions. I’m telling you these things because they’re fact lol, your information is from a secondary source my information is the source. I’m not trying to be arrogant but it’s as if you’re listening to a commentator talk about rugby league instead of a player, which one do you really think is going to know more?
