Oh man!
I open a random thread and I find it full of hard drug endorsements. I'm not gonna say the usual "I don't wanna live on this planet anymore" but the level of acceptance simply surprises me. Perhaps it's a cultural thing like east vs vest.
Do you wanna know what I think?
DRUGS MAKE YOU WEAK!
If you want to live in a fantasy fairy tale world where you have no control over your body or thought process...well, be my guest. You're not hurting anybody...or are you?
Every time you buy illegal drugs you support a system that plagues this world. You support a system that kills tens of thousands of people each year.
From South American self-styled freedom fighters who fund themselves with drug money down to smartly dressed husslers who engage in human trafficking and use drugs to keep their slaves in check, do you really want to stand next to these people and be a part of the system?
In college I studied Sociology and I had some courses in Deviant Tendencies (most of which were drug related) so that makes me a bit more vulnerable to this subject. Once you talk to a few people who work inside the drug-prevention/enforcement system, once you hear a few of the horror stories...it's enough.
Also...you think you're safe because you're healthy?
When I had an appendicitis operation some years back I found out that I'm allergic to a certain compound in the anesthetic. I had a glottic spasm and almost died, luckily I was on the operating table. Do you know where else you can find that compound? In you average, day-to-day, eat'em-like-candy ecstasy.
This kind of thing could happen to anybody. You're not dealing with real chemists here either so the risks are even higher.
There's no such thing as recreational drug use.
While you can argue that a glass of red wine 2 times per week is good for the circulatory system, drugs have no good side.
Think about this: a hard antibiotics treatment can end up giving you an ulcer. And this is a prescribed, tested drug. Just imagine what street drugs can do to you .
Doing drugs when you're not suffering from some kind of medical condition has ONLY cons. Therefore it is illogical to use drugs. Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems really simple to me.
To OP: no, cocaine should not be made legal. Drugs in general should only be used when presciped by a doctor for a serious medical problem.
Some things in life may feel good, but they're just not worth it.
It's not my intention to preach. You're free to do whatever you want.
I can only hope for one thing: that this message reaches someone who's on the fence about drugs and convinces him/her not to do it.
That is all.
