September 12 - Yuri Medvedev
Dear people here assembled,

''I was asked to be the first speaker and that is a huge responsibility. My speech will set the tone for the entire convention and therefore I will approach this professionally. Since I'm sure we will hear a lot of pros and contras in the days to come I would like to speak about the whats and the hows.''

''Supporters of legislation will probably defend the recreational use of Cannabis; I can't imagine anyone defending drug abuse. But what about that - often thought defendable - recreational usage? Why do people use it? A lot of models start with a psychological need, a way to escape reality. But aren't such users victims? And wouldn't they want to be able to go without? In fact drug usage often has a counter-effect, leaving the problems unsolved and even worsening them.''

''Of course the freedom defenders are already pointing towards the masses who use marihuana and don't have any issues they might want to run from. Seems convincing, not? I don't think so. How did these people get into the habit? They didn't smoke it one day because 'they simply liked to'. There is nothing simple about it; they were socialized into it! People smoke pot and their body reacts like 'man, what is this shit I'm taking here?' They are however learnt to like it, they define it as a pleasant experience because they are expected to, not just by their social surroundings but also by themselves.''

''In short: A group of people uses pot to forget their troubles, they are victims. Another part uses it and creates motives to defend the usage afterwards, but there are no objective reasons. When Marx stated religion was like opium he perhaps didn't know the comparison worked in both ways. Drugs are a way to 'keep the masses in line' and thus hemp is the so maniest obstacle towards the emancipation of mankind.''

I thank you all for your attention and hope I have made an impression, either good or bad. - 07:55, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is that than pro or contra  JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  12:39, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it is pretty obvious, no? It is an 'obstacle towards the emancipation of mankind', a societal problem. 12:41, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

September 13 - Martha Van Ghent
Dear fellow Lovians,

''Although a fervent Waldener, I am - like the previous speaker Prime Minister Medvedev - convinced that legalizing drug (ab)use would cause more trouble than it would solve problems. It is my moral duty, however, as a Waldener, to look into our "right" to consume marijuana and narcotics. As a libertarian I believed we had all rights, except those we could no longer have because it damaged the rights of our neighbors. People can have bananas whenever and however they like, they can take in way too much sugar without the state interfering, they can kill themselves on cafeine, even. It's their right to do so. It's your right to choose to eat healthy; it's your right to choose not to eat healthy.''

Right?

''As an "enlightened Waldener" I don't think so. Not anymore. This whole "it's my right to do so" thing is ignorant to one huge thing: society. If you hear this speech, or if you have heard of the words "pot" or "marijuana", you are part of this society. By being part of this society, I believe, you take up a tiny piece of the responsibility of it. Your moral choices affect society.''

''I can easily think of ten ways in which legalization of soft drugs (or hard drugs, if you're a hardcore user) would endager people. You know all of them. Think of what people who are "out of their mind" can do. That's what drug abusers can do too.''

''An objection often heard is that using narcotics could be allowed only at home, and would therefore be harmless. I, as a Walden feminist, I believe we couldn't be more far off the truth. Most accidents happen in or near our homes. Also, it is in homes that we keep what we cherish most. Children, elder people, family and friends.''

''The thing with drugs is that they make people do things without thinking, without consideration, without them even wanting it. And I know not all people are that easily affected by narcotics, but I'm not about to take this risk. In my opinion, society ought to minimize risks, and maximize thought.''

Thanks. - Martha Van Ghent 13:32, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
