drug epidemic

[CFH]

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.

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?

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.

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

[BIG H]

I can honestly say, every bad mistake I have made or regret I have are due to alcohol. It can be a great thing, but in the wrong hands it can ruin lives

Im 50/50 on it.
It would have originally been to take control and the dollar back off the mob wouldnt it?

Im all for legalizing everything and sending them to the wall once and for all but
they would go further into human trade ,protection extortion and kidnapping though so I suppose it keeps them occupied and off the innocents backs to an extent.

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!

Lol - Not far from me at all. A very good mate of mine used to 'do a bit of work' with that lot.

Been quite interested in the Essex Boys story for awhile, watched the film last year, Rise Of The Footsolider. Then i done a bit of researching online, reading about them on there site. I personally think the police had something to do with there death, but we will never know.
