Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

Most drugs are bad for you! Over here in the UK you can get arrested for Class A Drugs class b or class c. I see 11 year old kids smoking. Talk your step daughter out of it. Take her to see a doctor or talk to someone you can trust about this.After all the last thing you want is to see your poor daughter in prison. Some drugs have nasty side affects like Dizziness and tired ness. I heard some can turn you mental. I do understand what your feeling. Can't stand people who take drugs. Never ever touched a drug. Not drank Alcohol before. She needs to stop before it gets too far. Only drug that is good for you is the pill. But a lot of people die by taking them.Called Drug Overdoes. Keep an eye on here before she does something very very stupid. Good luck with that and please keep me informed of how she is doing. I hope you read this

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

If ganja is used in a controlled environment and when it doesn't affect your work then it's fine in my opinion.
Alcohol is socially accepted but why can't you smoke one after your work to get more appetite, relief some stress or sleep well.

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

I can go on and on here, but my general opinion is that I support recreational drug use of any kind, for adults (over 21) only.

Now, this may sound shocking, but keep reading. I understand that drugs can ruin lives. However, I believe that is a choice that an informed adult should be able to make by themselves, as long as it doesn't affect other people. We live in a world where two of the deadliest drugs, alcohol and tobacco, are legal. If someone wants to ruin their life by becoming an alcoholic, we don't completely outlaw the drug, we get them help! I think we should follow a similar course of action with other drugs.

If someone wants to get drunk on a Friday night after work, what is the difference between that, and them doing cocaine (for example) in the same situation? Just because one is legal and one is illegal doesn't mean that the law is right. If you look up how dangerous alcohol actually is, you'll probably be shocked. Yet, if people can use alcohol responsibly, then couldn't they also use other drugs responsibly?

Bottom line: I think the law is wrong, and I'm sure it'll be fixed by the time I die. If you want to make an informed decision to do any drug, you should be able to, up until the point where it hurts other people. If we focus on harm reduction and proper education that isn't led by propaganda, the world will be a safer place.

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

I'm against all drugs except for medically cleared drugs that doctors prescribe. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to enjoy or even do drugs. I have no respect for anyone who does drugs, nor do I see them as human beings. I see them as pathetic drug addicted monsters.

I don't care what anyone or any "study" says, drugs such as pot, cocaine, etc will never, ever be seen as helpful or "okay" drugs to have.

Lets see. When was the last time you read an article about a drunk guy running around the neighborhood naked and biting people's body parts off? (bath salts) When was the last time you heard of a drunk guy who was basically a tank and couldn't be taken down by the law? (PCP)

A lot of that is basically propaganda. I can't make you believe a certain way, but I'm sure you'll realize that a main goal of the media is just to create stories that people will want to hear. Even if those stories were 100% true, you've probably heard maybe a handful of those in your whole life? However, there are tens of thousands of people who die every year from drinking alcohol, yet that's legal. Do you think that people who drink alcohol are "pathetic drug addicted monsters?"

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

I still think Alcohol should be illegal though for the amount of deaths it causes over here

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

This topic is definitely appropriately placed in the debate corner. I don't personally have experience with drugs myself so people would probably say that my opinion is invalid on the subject. However, my boyfriend has been smoking marijuana since he was a sophomore in high school and while he says he is fine and there is nothing wrong with it, I can see the effects that it has on his memory. It makes him forget a lot of things. No, it's not going to kill him but it's also not helping him to spending $75 a week on something he can smoke just to forget his problems. I guess I could say the most "dangerous" thing about marijuana is becoming addicted to the feeling.

Illegal Drugs are bad, legal Drugs are okay but should be took in moderation. Especially Alcohol.

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

Most drugs are bad and harmful, I agree. But some certain psychedelics and marijuana can be completely natural for your body and cannot harm you in any devastating way. When smart, professional, and sure about it, I believe certain psychedelics and marijuana can be consumed. But it all comes down to who's holding the pipe.

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

If there is any history of mental illness in your family, you are playing Russian Roulette if you take drugs.
If there is no mental illness in your family, you stand a better chance of coming through it un-scathed, but it is still risky.
A pre-disposition to mental illness almost guarantees that you will suffer long term after effects, and some of them can be devastating, not only to the user, but to their loved ones.

Step off of your throne. You aren't any better then them because you clearly embrace hate like thy do drugs and that puts you right on their level. No one is born a drug addict. The attitude you give off in that post is the very thing that can ensure someone struggling with addiction never seeks help. I can't say I would ever encourage anyone to partake in such things but hatred and self-righteousness are never going to save anyone from addiction much less any other struggle in life. We all got our struggles and filthy things we have partaken in this life. Instead of tearing each other down, let's help each other up in love and the first step is joining the rest of us as we all got a struggle to fight and a burden to bear that's no better or worse. It's not saying it's right to be addicted but it should not be seen as a shameful thing to admit you fell in and need help. The addiction is bad enough without people like you adding to it with your hate.

I am sorry that anyone has to bare a loved one fighting addiction as the only thing I can say is never give up on them and never stop loving them as love is going to be the only thing that will pierce through darkness and hopelessness that addiction brings into lives of those trapped in it and offer them their best chance of being saved from it.

no offense man but whats the point of posting in a debate thread if this is the attitude you're gonna have? recently studies have been showing the effects of CBD strains in marijuana have been helping to cure seizures in patients who have no where else to turn (source: http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/ch ... marijuana/)

well if we think about it like that how many times have you heard of someone killing someone in a vehicular accident while under the influence of marijuana? and living in hollywood for 4+ years i've seen some drunk arrests where it takes 4 or 5 cops to hold the guy down just to get cuffs on them.

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

Anyone who takes drugs is an utter idiot. That's my view on them.

Does that mean I'd hate to see them legalised? No, but to be honest, if that happens and all these drug addicts/drug fanatics fall ill or die, well, it's their fault.

Re: Opinion's On Drugs.

Doing drugs doesn't mean you are stupid only desperate to escape a pain that seems otherwise inescapable whether it be emotional or physical. You can't really grasp what they are thinking when they take the plunge till you have become as desperate as they are. Once they fall in then it pulls them in and it's extremely difficult to escape from their grasp as yo have to suffer before you can escape and many don't have the support and love of people in their lives to help them endure the pain and hardship to escape from the grasp of addiction. Then you have those who became addicted to pain killers because they were prescribed a legal pain killer then became addicted to it because they couldn't bear the pain anymore that the pain killer was treating.

Drug addiction isn't so black and white like people want to make it and by doing so do a disservice not only to those who are struggling with addiction but also yourself for living that way.
