drug epidemic

[CGM]

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.

The only person drawing that comparison gram of coke/ bottle of becks comparison is you.

And you think alcoholic pisstanks are easier to deal with and live with than pot smokers?

[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.

The Essex Boys era

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.

So many different versions/interpretations of what happend, but I doubt the truth will ever come out. Have you seen 'Essex Boys' if you lked Rise of the Foot Solider, you'll like Essex Boys.

[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

[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

Thx. for the movie tips; going to try and order them. I watched a movie{has nothing to do with what you guys are talking about} called This is England last week. Any Brits seen it? About a young kid who gets pulled into the early 80's Skin movement in UK. Good movie, bizarre at times, but a good watch.

LOL yea he is, as a Londoner myself i had to look away, at some of those scenes because his Cockney accent was forced/terrible. Just like Malcolm McDowell's accent was in Gangster No 1, but he was still funny as fuck in it.

I saw Get Carter; been a while. Love Snatch; about the only good movie Pitt was in. Could't understand a thing he said Which reminds me; I see he is starring in a movie called Inglorious Bastards. Looks like a great movie but jeez the sneak peeks at it and Pitt is ruining it with his awful accent.

I said nothing about cocaine, it's a terrible drug IMO. However, getting drunk and getting high on any type of drug are the same. The effects might be different, but you're still getting high. Drinking a bottle of beer is different from getting drunk anyways. And why the fuck would you drink Becks? That garbage tastes like salt-water. However, to return to your point I fully believe some types of drugs are much safer than getting drunk. I've had plenty of experience doing both.

The legality argument is irrelevant. Jaywalking is illegal, that doesn't make is more dangerous than alcohol. I don't want to get into why booze is legal and some drugs are not because it has little to do with this discussion.
