Both times as I was passing Morwell I yelled out g'day to Swoop.

A 15-year-old boy has been charged and a woman is in custody after two paramedics were assaulted and their ambulance was rammed as they went to the aid of a patient in Melbourne's north
A 30-year-old Epping woman handed herself in to the Reservoir Police Station at about 4.00pm.
Detectives said they were confident they knew the identity of the third woman and said it was "just a matter of time" before she was arrested.

That's bloody ridiculous. If the have the offender, make an example of them. One of juniors friends was doing a paramedics course at uni, she just switched out, and I'm really glad she did. They need to do something about this and now. Even if it means a guard on each van.
For those saying in other threads, alcohol is worse than drugs, really? You think beer has caused this epidemic? It's druggies doing this for the most part, and ironically it's often druggies at risk when staff cannot attend to them properly.
One pill, just one bad tablet, one bad injection, or the wrong person for a "clean hit" and they become a corpse. How many people have died from just one drink? Unless there's ratsak in it. Even the king hit cowards need a few to get them in that state. Unless they are just fuckheads that should have been drowned at birth.

'Drugs' are not a homogenous category. That's the basic error that so many people make when they talk about this. We're not comparing alcohol with 'drugs', we're comparing alcohol (which is a drug) with other substances, each of which have different effects and risks. Alcohol undoubtedly causes more harm than many illegal drugs, but probably less harm than 'hard' drugs like ice and heroin.

Do you get this rubbish from the Ministry of Disinformation?
If I share a bottle of Grange with friends (as I do, all too rarely), I do so for the taste. If I were to quaff down a bottle of Grange on my own (as I don't), I would have a drinking problem. If I were to drink many bottles of Grange in one sitting, I would have a severe drinking problem (and probably also an impending bankruptcy).
By contrast, if I were to share a joint with friends, I'd be doing it only for the effect, surely? In a sense there's no necessary harm in that (though I am mindful of the dreadful harm caused by tobacco smoking) - I occasionally take ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory but I'm not dishonest enough to pretend that I take the ibuprofen for its taste. Rather, I do so because taking it has a useful and positive effect (provided none of its many side-effects kill me).
Alcohol causes widespread harm because it is (at least in some forms) cheap, easily accessible, legal and, unfortunately, socially-acceptable to abuse. People routinely wander out of bottle-shops with volumes of alcohol apt to trafficking but - tragically - for personal use. If "soft" drugs were abused routinely with society's blessing the way alcohol is, I expect we'd see dreadful ill-effects on a wide scale, just as we would if people starting popping ibuprofen the way they knock back stubbies. |

I've often thought that too, but the key to alcohol's popularity is and always has been its intoxicating effects, whether in a social context or otherwise. I wouldn't necessarily ever want marijuana on the shelves at Coles, but even if it were consumed in similar quantities I doubt it would cause as much harm as alcohol does. Other drugs are different stories, but then, who'd be taking LSD every day if it were legal? Some drugs naturally lend themselves more to intermittent use.

| I tend to the view that reducing the adverse social impacts of alcohol is probably the most important first thing. I'm not much for the view that we should permit other things because they might not be "as bad" - one has to consider the combined effects of such substances overlaid on the continuing use of alcohol (unless you're expecting a whole lot of marijuana users to take the pledge). I don't think it's a zero-sum game. People can become psychotic from using marijuana and then still drink. |

The occasional joint doesn't hurt, neither does the occasional drink. Both can do serious damage when abused.
I knew a bloke back in the 80's who started on the bong when he was still in high school. Once he left school he moved in with his girlfriend and she worked, paid the rent, did the cleaning and cooking and he sat home and smoked cones all day from the moment he woke up til going to sleep.
He kept that up for years until his GF got jack of it and left him, then he had to try to look after himself. Last i heard he had mental health issues and was damn near unemployable and only in his mid 20's.

| Terrible that he's still only in his mid-20s after all these years. It does stunt one's growth. |

Hah.
Haven't heard about him for 20 years. Don't know if he eventually got his shit together or ended up dying under a bridge somewhere.

I need one of them! My brother in law got his result today, he has a tumour 6.5 cm, and cancer is in both his kidney and his liver. They can't take his kidney yet, because it would be too hard on his body, so he has to have 12 weeks chemo first to try and shrink the tumours. Not good news |
Almost two months to the day, the BIL is doing ok on the chemo, looks a bit better, has his appetite back, the pain is gone, he's off for scans in a week or so. His wife was passing a bit of blood, long story short, found out today it's bowel cancer. WTAF! It's operable, so hopefully they can get it all.
Never never never take life for granted, cheers
