How Can Question #2 Be Revoked?

Question by hal n: how can question #2 be revoked?
i just heard the “governor” deval patrick, can somehow alter the legislature that was just passed in massachusetts to decriminalize small amounts of cannabis. how is this possible? this is a democracy… right? i don’t smoke, i think smoking anything is harmful to the lungs, and i have never smoked pot, and even i think it is ridiculous that it is illegal.

i am 17 years old, and i am tired of the minority (no pun intended) controlling the majoridy. seeing how deval is going to be baracks little puppet, and barack has stated how he feels about decriminalization, the worlds most useless governor will keep his mouth shut.

Can a Drug Addict Drop a Drug Entirely for Another Drug?

Question by …….: can a drug addict drop a drug entirely for another drug?
like i have this idea for a story, and this junky dude is the protagonist. well this character shows up and offers him something else. it’s not a drug per say, but the protagonist treats it like one for most of the story. the only condition is that he has to work for this character and he has to stop using other drugs. (there’s a reason why, but i don’t want to reveal it here.) he can’t even drink. but he doesn’t have much of an issue transitioning.
is that believable? that he wouldn’t have any problem doing that? just quitting everything cold turkey and not really going through withdrawals because he’s on this other thing?
the “drug” gives him this euphoric sensation that’s unlike any other drug he’s ever done. but it’s different. that’s why he’s doing all of this.
i know it’s far fetched, but i like that stuff. it’s definitely one of my more conservative stories. it’s supposed to be far fetched.

Even the prolific mathematician, Paul Erdos, took copious amounts of amphetamines, and said that the world lost a lot of good math the one month he went without it (due to a bet with a friend). I often wonder how much more productive he would have been had he been using amphetamines before the age of 60.
