drug epidemic

[leftylee]

Haven't touched drugs in my life and I ain't ever going to.

Do you drink? Because that's a drug just like the others.

Alcohol ? When im out at parties etc yes but not huge amounts.

You can't compare that to Cannabis, Cocaine, Weed etc. Alcohol is actually legal.

At 17?

lol

I don't care what others do. I'm like you, Lefty, like to have the odd drink although am not of age. Don't touch weed or any other drug, cuz well, just ain't my trip. But I don't look down my nose to those that do. If they are trying to force it on others, I may not be so cool on them for it, especially hard drugs.

I think it won't be too long before we start to see weed being legalized. It has medical benefits and is already being used for that. Certainly more useful then alcohol is that area. Less loss of motor skills when a person is influenced by it, and why you don't hear of too many pot heads wiping out innocent familes stoned compared to drunk drivers behind the wheel.

I guess the arguement is the gateway issue to other harder drugs, to which the same can be said about alcohol. Not sure what to say about that. I do know drugs are a problem tho, particularly the harder ones. I know it has killed some and sent a lot more I know already into dangerous territory.

Weed as a gateway drug is such a bullshit argument. I've never gotten stoned and been like "I should go get some blow...", however I have done those sorts of things when drunk. All weed made me want to do was eat Doritos, play xBox and watch tv.

Cant speak about any where else but in the US alcohol contributes to more deaths and wasted money than all illegal drugs combined annually.

Alcohol is way worse for you than marijuana, despite what some people may tell you. Alcohol directly leads to millions of deaths every year, weed does not. Legality means nothing.

I have a 17 year old cousin who smokes pot regularly but doesn't drink. I'd rather he didn't smoke weed at all, but I'd sooner have him do that than drink.

Cannabis and weed are the same thing btw.

LOL yeah. In Liverpool we refer to drugs as Beak (Coke) Green (Marajuana) and Garys (Ecstacy).

But trust me I've seen people pissed and stoned. And I'ld have the drunk person any day. Drugs just fukk your head up and mind. Say what you want but nothing will ever persuade me that alcohol is worse than taking drugs. The fact drugs aint even legal proves my point. So me taking a gram of cocaine is better than drinking a bottle of becks ? Laughable.

anybody else hear a sheep?

[killersheep]

anybody else hear a sheep?

Yep here I am.

I agree all things in moderation. In my early 20's (I'm nowhere near them now) I did tons of acid, X, mushrooms, meth. Basically I did everything except H. In all that I've seen, I'd say in order of danger.

1. Meth
2. Alcohol
3. X
4. LSD
5. Soda
6. Mushrooms
7. Weed

I've seen the worst in people when they've been up for days on Meth.
Aside from that Alcohol seems to have the worst effect when used on a regular basis, with X close behind. The biggest problem with alcohol is that it is socially accepted as the norm.

I tried marijuana twice and both times literally turned a light shade of green, threw up and felt all paranoid. Drank maybe 4 times; last time I touched alcohol was 1995; just cant deal with the taste and though being buzzed was nice I don't like being so drunk I don't know what's happening. 2nd time I drank I got plastered off tequila. I ended up laying out in the rain with my "friends" shoving big frogs in my mouth lol. The next day my mom made me work in the yard all day. Maybe the worst day ever for me.

I did love doing acid; already told some stories so I won't bother again. Haven't done it since 2000 and probably never will again. I tend to like to stay in control so drugs and alcohol jut really aren't my thing; plus the expense, damage to the body and taste of it; i.e. alcohol and marijuana.

I'd just like to say that alcoholics are no real different to drug users IMO, i've grew up watching drunk people in my family. And i have to tell you alcoholics are vicious people at times.

I mean how many times do we read/see alcoholics beating up there wives/kids, smashing up there houses ? killing people in cars ? having punch ups in pubs ? causing trouble ?

Its also destroys people's lives because they find it incredibly tough, to give up on drink. Just like serious drug users do, and i've seen people in my family piss there life down the kermit on drink.

[LEGION]

I've honestly never understood how alcohol was made legal. Marijuana should be legal before alcohol; for the reasons ICB mentioned. Guess all the politicians love a good drink so it's ok.

Funny you go to ball games; get drunk, then go crash your car and kill people. But they keep putting up Don't Drink and Drive signs and billboards which is so absurd to me. I just don't understand it tbh. Of course I don't drink so I wouldn't

Agreed well said Lee but it looks like were on our own regarding this mate.

[BIG H]

I'm not a fan of mind altering drugs (and by that I mean Ectasy etc) but I tell you something, In the 90s (my day) You would much rather be at a Rave where everybody was pilled up that you would be in the city centre where people were pissed up. If everybody was taking pills instead of drinking there would be no violence surrounding nightlife. I'm not condoning drugs, but this is a fact!
