Some people just get addicted to it without having to do it alot. I just had a big argument on this thread and discovered alot of people have a gene that can prevent them from getting addicted and alot of other people are the opposite.Evilbunny said:
Also I don't think a baby can consume steak and WOW is addictive but they do send messages out saying you should take a break plus that has probably more to do with being irresponsible. I hate banning stuff as well but when it comes to drugs and cigerettes I am going against it.
Drugs are lame.
The people who use drugs are lame.
The fact that everyone assumes that the 19 year old guys gettin Mt Dews at 4 am are on drugs is lame.
The huge "cool factor" that drugs play in our pop culure is lame.
Kids that think drugs are cool are lame.

At no time do you give a reason as to why these things are lame. The guy above you gave an opinion coupled with a fact, seemingly to move the debate onward. You swan in and join the likes of Rutawitz and Nazulu with an opinion based on anecdotal evidence or your own bias.Artemis923 said:
Who the hell says I should give evidence for my own damn opinion? I don't like drugs, end of story.whitelabel2k said:
And if you have just said that that, instead of calling people who LIKE certain drugs lame, then I would be fine with that. But you've just declared yourself against a whole swathe of society. The whole people who use drugs are lame thing only works if you're up for tossing out half your mp3s. As Bill Hicks said, "Drugs have done good things for us. If you don;t believe me then take all your records, tapes and CDs and burn them. Cos you know what? The musicians that made that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the years, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL high on drugs"Artemis923 said:
1) I don't give a fig what you're "fine with".whitelabel2k said:
2) The opinions of a drug crazed society mean precisely DICK to me.
3) You have no knowledge of my musical tastes, nor of the personal lives of the musicians. You go by ASSUMPTION, a poor choice for what you believe is a logical argument.
4) I could care less what Bill Hicks has to say.
5) You have wasted minutes of my life with your pro-drug garble. Go find someone else to bother, you troll.
Everything up to and including LSD is not too bad, especially if you've got somebody who's sober to babysit you. Anything harder than that which you can become addicted to is a very bad idea.
Very ignorant of you my friend.
How can you come to a conclusion on something you have never done, and saying "Everyone is weak" is untrue.
There are plenty of people, myself included, who use them for recreation, nothing more, nothing less.
No one is addicted, and we go about our lives.
So don't make assumptions before you've experienced it first-hand.

Very Untrue, there are more Alcohol related deaths this year in the U.S then deaths based on consumption on light drugs, like Marijuana.Zeeky_Santos said:
Like I've said to previous posters, don;t make assumptions unless you have done them yourself, and if you didn't like it, well, there are people that do, and neither, you, nor the government can do anything to stop it completely.
-Which should be legal and why?
Marihuana, 'cause it basically has less negative effects than alcohol. The only downside is the "gateway drug" thing, but I think if it's legalized, then it wouldn't be so much of a gateway to harder stuff anymore, at least not more so than alcohol.
-Why do you choose to use or not use them?
I've smoked Marihuana a couple of times, like 4, 5 times in my life. My experiences with it have been far more positive than alcohol, and I find the effects more enjoyable too (Instead of babbling nonsense, vomiting all over the place and waking up with the worst headache, I found myself feeling relaxed, a little slowed down maybe but still able to make sense of things, and finding everything funny as hell. And not hungover the next morning). But I would never touch anything else, especially no chemical stuff. I don't want any hallucinations or worse, I'm fine with a little relaxing.
-Does your opinion of a person change if you find out they use drugs?
Depends on the drug they use and the way they use it. A friend of mine of whom I knew he smoked weed rather often recently told me he tried heroin and coke. I was not exactly pleased. Another friend of mine started smoking almost daily and I was getting worried, and tried to talk him out of it.
So basically, when I feel like someone's drug use is getting out of hand, I will try to get them away from it. This is not a problem with illegal drugs only though, as I would react the same way if one of my friends suddenly started drinking a sixpack of beer every day.

Its hardly trolling if you want to open up a fair and balanced debate is it?Artemis923 said:
Trolling would be making sweeping generalizations. A drug CRAZED society eh? crikey. Obviously no one intelligent has EVER done drugs and they have never had ANY positive effects on the world. This applies to you too Searanox. Its the close mindedness thats annoying, the willingness to accept existing anecdotal evidence as fact.
Also, the musical tastes thing IS a logical movement, it proves that for a large amount of society drugs have had a positive outcome. Terribly sorry I've wasted your time with reasoned argument, at no point lowering myself to personal slights against you.
Cock.
You can, "Technically" get addicted to LSD, and I use the term "Addicted" Lightly.wewontdie11 said:
For, the only way to get addicted you have to be using it for the wrong reasons ((I.e, Sadness))
But your right, any drug Man-made is a sin, and is not right, call it hypocritical, but I support only the drugs that grow from the ground, when chemicals are involved, that's when I go ageinst it.
What do I think of drugs?
They are fine, at least the natural ones, Mushrooms, Marijuana, and the like, but once you get further into it, Meth, and Crack cocain, Hard stuff like that, then it gets dangerous.
Marijuanna is not a Gateway drug((Leads on to harder drugs)), if you simply use it for recreation.
Theres always going to be people that abuse substances, look at how many people are institutionalized for Alcoholism, and how many people try to quit Tobacco, both of those are highly addictive, and lower class drugs ((Such as Marijuana, and Mushrooms))
have little to no chance of addiction, but then it all boils down to the person, and their own psycological makeout, a person who came from a family riddles with Alcohol and Tobacco, will probably share the same fate, the same can be said about hard drugs ((Crack and Meth)) Theres many other factors that contribute into it based on the persons own experiances in life and current situation.
All in all, in laymans' terms.
-Some drugs good, Some drugs bad. Learn the difference.-
