I was wondering what your opinion on drugs are? Have you taken them? Should they be legal? etc.

I dont necessary think drugs are good or bad i think theyre ok as long as you dont take too much. i first tried drugs at 14 and that was hash, i didnt see it as a big deal cuz i felt it was sumthin i wanted to do. Now as for them bein legal i think cannabis shoud be allowed, i dont understand why it is frowned upon because if u look at it, alcohol is legal and some ppl get voilent when theyr drunk, but when ur stoned ur relaxed the last thing u want to do is get in a confrontation. I know ppl say hash leads to harder drugs which i agree is true but arent people doing them cuz they want to? isnt it our choice if we want to take drugs? Also theyr all around us i know as a kid at 14 it was easier to get drugs than it was to get booze.

i could really blab on about this topic but i want to hear what u guys think?
 
I am against using them; funny thing is that sometimes (rarely though) I sell it, to the grade 11's and 12's in my school. I've been pressured into doing it before (like tonight [its 4/20], a bunch of girls offered to do something if I just tried it, because all the chicks in my school know how much Im against it), and I'm always trying to tell my friends not to do it, and I've actually gotten into some brutal fist fights with people over this crap. But thats all just marijuana.

I'm strictly against any other drug; crack/cocain, meth, what have. Because that (and I appologize for the lagnuage) shit will fuck you up. I've never done it, but I've seen some of my old friends fall to its victim.

I'm happy this crap is illegal; but I've been told that the weed is not as bad as usual cigarettes, which is confusing because the tobacco companies are controlling most of the crap. Bleh. Rant over.
 
yeah but other drugs such as ecstasy and coke are made out to be this big horrible thing that if u try them u will ruin ur life, u know thats bull shit again ur more friendly on ecstasy than u are on alcohol well i am and so is evry1 i know, isnt it odd how they decided to legalise booze but outlaw evrything else.
 
I seriously think that pot should be a legal drug.
Look, if someone wants to deal or do drugs, it's going to happen, regardless of which means are taken. And that goes for any drug; not just pot.

How many people have you heard of dying from smoking marijuana?
400,000 people die each year in America (not including other countries) of ciggarette related diseases.

15,000-17,000 people (if I recall correctly) die each year in America from drunk driving/drunken behavior.

Fact be told that religious pot-users are lazy lazy lazy folks who lack the ambition to get up off their lazy pot-loving butts to even stick the key in the ignition of the car, OR they're too lazy to work and afford a car, so they just walk everywhere.
How many serious pot users do you see up and about and full of life on a daily basis? How many of them are nothing but laid back individuals and tackle their tasks at 2mph? Pot heads are harmless; like worms.

I do agree that mind-altering drugs such as meth/cocain/angel dust/the works should be illegal. Regardless of whether it's legal or not, it will be done, but the risk of being busted probably plays a mediocre roll in preventing people from taking that risk.
 
Well, I've never tried any drug; I've just been told about them.. So all I
m aware of is that if you get hooked, you'll attempt to do pretty much anything for hard drugs. But A few of my friends have been hooked, and I told them that if they didn't quit, I'd not speak to them anymore (talking about meth, E), and they quit. But then a year later they were hooked again.

I don't want to have an addiction; other then flirting with wemon and video games.
 
I'd personally rather have my child addicted to videogames than pot. :huh:
 
I find it funny, my mother is always on my ass about "Dont do drugs" and things on that line, when she has a huge tub of pot in her room (which is where I steal it from and sell it). Talk about hipocricy.

i see your point about gettin hooked and all but is a huge tactic used to warn people off drugs, dont get me wrong u can get hooked but not so easily. i smoked dope almost evryday for like 2 years and i was able to quit instantly. Although There are addictions like heroin and crack which i understand is very tough to kick, but look at all the alcoholics in the world theyr dying and that is an addiction which is very hard to give up. But being seen as an alcoholic is sumwhat more acceptable than being seen as sum1 who takes anythin illegal and is addicted to it
 
Yeah, and one of my friends who is like 17 this year (who is a Blood) watches my back incase anyone tries to beat me up and steal it from me without paying.

Which raises another fact; people will beat the hell out of other people (sometimes even murder) over it. Because of that I now carry around a KO bar and a switchblade. I doubt I'd ever use them though, unless my life was in danger.

EDIT: Yeah, my friend was going to try crack tonight, but I wouldn't let him and tossed the pipe into the river. He got pissed at left, I dunno whats going to happen.

Thats what I'm doing; using it as a trumph card. As soon as I get into some real deep trouble, I'm just going to go on about how shes liar and whatnot.
 
Yeah, it slightly is. I almost when with the girls I talked about earlier to try it out. But I just dont want to run the risk of getting hooked, even if the chances are slim, there's nothing that I'd hate more then to have an addiction to a drug. And it does bother me, when some of my friends'll start talking about how I sell it but wont smoke it, and say stuff about how I'm a pussy, and stuff. But I just deal with it because half the time their just dicking around.
 
nah dont make u or any1 a pussy cuz they wont do it.
like i said u do it cuz u want to, i ve alway been curious about drugs and how they affect you and i believe it shud be made available to those who want it, as long as they know the risks

I've known more than my share of potheads, all of which drive, and most of which lead an average life. As a matter of fact, other than the occasional oversleeping element, I guarantee you couldn't tell any of the potheads I know from normal, sober human beings. They are functioning drug users.

The people I am referring to are definitely serious pot heads (and other drug users), in case you were wondering. Some of them smoke as much as an ounce a day (a gram can get up to as many as 10 people sufficiently "stoned" for 2-3 hours if smoked). For those who aren't up to the conversion, and ounce consists of approximately 28.3 grams.

----------------------------------------------

As for my take on the subject, I think that all drugs should be legalized. No exceptions. From a economical standpoint, there is no better way to procure an expanse of cash than from selling, regulating, and otherwise dispersing drugs to the masses. Some people will do just about anything to get high, and that equals out to a whole lot of much needed economical growth. And you can "drug addicts don't make good working class citizens" me until you're blue in the face. I have worked with, and been around, so many drug addicted people that... well, let's say I know a thing or two about the topic. Drug addicts, can, and do work, and most work just as well as you or me. Many actual use the drugs to increase their ability to work, and let me tell you, it works. The fact is, though, most chronic users (no pun intended) will avoid smoking marijuana before important tasks, such as work, or driving.

The whole "lazy pothead" stereotype sickens me. Too many people take the media around them too seriously. Or maybe they take the cue from some of their friends, or peers, who use lightly, and therefore don't handle the high as well as others. Sure, some users cannot function properly while under the influence no matter how much they take, over any period of time. However, most addicts learn to function fairly normally in all of life's circumstances.

Another reason I believe that drugs should be legalized is that I'm a firm believer in "your body, your choice". If someone wants to place toxins into their system, let them. If it begins to affect the way that they handle their lives to the point that they begin negatively affecting others (violence, rape, murder, etc...) then lock them up like any other law breaking citizen. A person who uses isn't necessarily a bad person.


You have to start somewhere, however, and I believe marijuana is a good a place as any to begin with. It is far safer than any other drug intended to get you high on the market. Alcohol causes dependency, drastically changes mood, is a downer, and raises your perceptions on what, exactly, you are capable of. Marijuana does none of these things. As a matter of fact, let's go over exactly how marijuana affects the body.

Literally seconds after inhaling marijuana, it begins to affect the body. Heart rate quickens, muscles tense, and blood vessels begin to swell. After a matter of minutes, it begins to raise euphoria levels by aiding the release of endorphins. It then begins to affect the way your perceive the world around you. Colors may seem more vivid, music may seem more meaningful, time is typically perceived as passing by slower, or sometimes not at all. Occasionally your mouth will begin to feel dry, and you may even become hungry. This state typically lasts anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. After that, the effects generally begin to wear off. After 5 hours, most people will no longer feel any effects from the marijuana.

During the "high" period, most people enjoy activities such as listening to music, watching a movie, or simply taking a stroll. Contrary to popular belief, the common stoner would rather watch The Lord of the Rings while high, then Half Baked while high.

Some people like to be active while high. These people will often clean their homes, reorganize their furniture, do homework, walk, or even cook a meal.

Others prefer to laze about. These people will often listen to music, watch a movie, sleep, or possibly read.

Most people will feel as though they understand the universe in a new, and better way. You might often hear someone under the influence of marijuana claim to have had an epiphany. You will often hear "I should really write this down" follow.

All in all the typical stoner is no different than either you or I. None of the activities pot heads enjoy doing are any different than what sober people enjoy doing. So, why patronize them?

I have a ton more to say on the topic. I have studied drugs for a long, long time now. Drugs intrigue me more than any other topic in the world. I will stop my rant for the moment, and try and respond to others instead. I have spent more time studying drugs than I have playing video games, and I could go on for days on any one single idea alone. Frankly, I don't want to type all that as much as you don't want to read all of that in one dose.
 
u make sum very good points there.
One other thing that annoys me are the scientists who bad mouth drugs cuz they say theyve studied them for years and seen the effects but never actually tried them for themselves, they are blind fools

That's one of my pet peeves. People who talk down about a subject that they've never experienced.

My biggest drug related pet peeve is regarding the common misconceptions on marijuana and addiction. Marijuana is not addicting. No more than say, pizza. From the first time you ate pizza (I use pizza because it is a commonly well liked food) you most likely enjoyed it. Enough to say, want another slice. Or, want pizza again for another meal, perhaps on another day. Marijuana is no different. If you enjoy it (and most people do), odds are, you're going to want to use it again. You're not, however, likely to pawn your possessions to get more. You may actively seek out ways to smoke it again, but then again, you probably actively seek out ways to eat your favorite food more than once.

Have you ever seen anyone addicted to pizza? No. Some may like it so much that they eat it whenever possible (*raises hand* me for example), but I've never pawned my stereo system to get another slice.
 
ezactly u smoke dope cuz u want to cuz u enjoy it in the end i stopped enjoying it and was able to stop no problems at all. Ur never gonna see a man down the park sleeping rough cuz he spends all his money on his cannabis addiction

I stopped smoking weed because I had little time to do it anymore. It's strange actually. I went from smoking weed everyday, numerous times a day, to not smoking any. I actually forgot all about weed for awhile because I was so busy with work. I never once have felt a "need" to go back to smoking it. I would, however, like to have a little more free time so that I could smoke it again if I wanted to.
