I think the biggest danger in drugs lies with the mountain of bullshit that the schools pass out to children on weed and such. Ever since the days of reefer madness where the government has been telling people that see weed its addictive, it will turn you into a murdering rapist and a psycopath. THey do not go quite that far there is a still a mountain of pure bullshit they spin to to try and keep weed illegal, they even have the clossal guts to claim that weed has 0 medicinal value with a straight face, basically any time a suit starts babbling the government line on weed i either makes me facepalm outright or laugh my head off at the complete and utter lack of any factual information coming out of their mouths.
But the real danger comes in that many many people experiment with weed, if your told nothing but utter bullshit by your law enforcement, your government, your teachers, your parents, and come to find out that weed is not addictive, does not turn anything into a murdering rapist, and has not made any of your friends into junkies except for oreos and doritoes, then what else are they not telling the truth about? That in fact weed is a much more benign drug than beer or any licquor, or cigareets, does not even have the withdrawl that drugs like caffeene have in spades.
They like to claim weed is the gateway drug? its beer, most people that get hard core into drugs start with beer and other booze. And just because you start with either does not mean your going to shooting smack or snorting lines.
Hard drugs, cocaine, heroine, crack, meth, angel dust, are either highly addictive or highly dangerous in general or both. Even some prescription pills fit into this category which makes the oh so popular on the streets. oxy, many pain pills are highly addictive.
And for the record this poll is bs 75% of people taking this poll never drink coffee, drink caffinated sodas? take asprin, smoke cigs? etc. you all just drink water eat berries and walk on water i guess.
Everyone if they breath takes drugs, poll would have been better if it qualified "illicit" drugs vs not because i guarantees 90% of people have taken or take drugs regularly every day.
