Teen dies after taking 'legal' party drug

Perfect. Just label me as a low life prick who has no interest in life whatsoever..
I have no interest in life in the form of what it is served to us now, not life in general.
Go on and make the most out of your limited life. I'm just hoping you will never get the same feeling of realisation as I did. Half-life-heh-. Maybe then you will realise that you are the one who takes drugs.
Being a little bit more open minded doesnt hurt too.

Oh, don't worry, I am quite open-minded. I just have no interest in any mind or body altering substances.
And I never called you a low-life prick
And as for the same realisation, what would that be? the realisation that we are all worthless?
I know I have no worth. That is why I do not so much care for my life as the lives of others.
It is my duty to be used to help other people. I exist to serve.
I suppose duty is somewhat like a drug. It is addicting to one such as I.

Ha! You exist to serve? what kind of sense does that make? Your attitude at life seems not so well perceived. In layman's terms, are you everybody's *****?Let me give you an advice, playing good Samaritan in the 21st wont get you or anyone else nowhere Dont be too hard on yourself. If you want to self destruct, whats the difference between you and the person you perceive as me? As for the realisation, it's the feeling of being really aware of what is happening y'know.Mind altering substances are also a form of enjoyment and you cant judge them since you haven't tried yourself.

That is correct. I exist to serve. I am to be expended to make others have a better life.
It is the highest achievable goal for one such as myself. It is a good goal. A worthy duty.
And as much as mind-altering substances may be enjoyable for others, I cannot enjoy them.
To even sample them would mean I could not help others, and as such I can never use any such substances.
I can get far better enjoyment in the long-run by employing my imagination. There is no limit, and it needs no trigger. The mind itself is a wonderful tool when taught how to be put to use.

 

[The Warden]

Nobody thought it was dangerous because it was LEGAL?
What the fuck?
You know what ELSE is legal?
Liquor and Cigarettes.
Both fuck your health and one causes you to do stupid shit that could lead to your death.
So no, dead teenager, not everything legal is good for you.

 

[AwesomeExpress]

Yup, don't do drugs!

 

[presidentjlh]

These things are getting out of control. Eventually the government will stop:
Gaming
Sex,
Movies
Comics
Newspapers
Television
Alcohol
Drugs

Is there an island somewhere where I can start a new country?

Antarctica isn't owned by anyone, technically, but good fucking luck trying to establish a nation there.

I pity you. I've seen plenty of people who used to think like that and now they are destroyed mentally. Why do you hate yourself so much? Are you really that fking much passive?
How cant you not help others by taking substances? Do you think that you help people 24/7 no matter what you do?. Well I'm afraid your mind is not in good use, however if you think like that you deserve nothing better.

I do not need your pity. By my continued service, I live a happy life.
By not taking substances, I can continue to give blood, which can be used to save lives.
I do not hate myself. Well, at least not now. and as for the "Are you really that fking much passive?" bit you said? Not really sure I understand that part. I don't like to hurt people, really.
And trust me, my mind is set to good use I cogitate things as fast as I can, to help people however I can. And it pays off. I do not feel I need your pity. I lead a life of duty and honour. I am somewhat 'blessed' by this life. I am able to help others, and as such, I do all I can.

"nobody thinks it's dangerous because it's legal"

Oh, well that makes perfect sense because nothing legal can kill you.

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

on the other hand teen dies doing something dumb is hardly new.

My point exactly. But then again, I'm a boring person who absolutely hates the feeling of not knowing/understanding what's going on, and/or being able to react to things appropriately.

 

[Rainboq]

eh, IMHO drugs are like chlorine in the gene pool, it stings a bit but its good in the long run

 

[Flying Dagger]

If anyone's interested, It's the lower risk version of heroin given to addicts so they don't kill themselves trying to go cold turkey. Significantly less risky though. Some addicts sell it instead of using it, so the market is created.

The real question is to find a balance where telling kids about all drugs may decrease deaths, but will increase participation. It's not an easy line to call.

 

[Flying Dagger]

Basicly i'm a dick and i hate people who are better then me for helping others.

There's a mindset some people have, that if you don't help people you could help, then it's as bad as putting them in the situation they are already in. (see Old Christianity teachings saying "not getting pregnant is akin to murder")

Now whilst most people realise that to be garbage, there are still people out there who believe in helping those they can.

And you would take issue with those people?

If you don't have the decency to help others, at least have the courtesy to be ashamed of it.

 

[TheTim]

Maybe she had an alergic reaction

 

[PhoenixOnly]

Tried it a few times, its alright. No way near as good as mdma.
People take drugs to have fun. Although some people have said why not just drink alcohol? Because it kills you, all of it does. People just need to stop making a big deal out of it.
Most people recognise the fact that they are taking a risk when they do a drug. Most of the time its okay, the vast majority if your sensible with it. It just enhances a night.
Sometimes it backfires and someone dies or goes to hospital. Its sad, but they knew the risk. If someone offers you a pill or a white powder, you know your doing something risky. Few people die from drugs. It really baffles me, why are drugs generally illegal when in the same countries you can buy guns?

 

[Deadpewl]

I love how the general response to this story is "meh". Makes me remember why I like this forum so much.
OT: Oh snap a kid does something stupid and dies. Alert the fuckin media.

You're taking a risk when you take any drug, largely because you can't really know how your body will react - I knew a girl back in high school who had to be hospitalized after taking marijuana, as it caused some sort of reaction in her lungs that inhibited her breathing.

Seriously kids, just stick with alcohol. It tastes way better, and it's a lot more fun. It's a win win.

Or you could just spread your arms out and spin around in place until you get dizzy and fall to the ground like you did when you were a kid. Cheap, pretty safe, and free.

What's that I hear? Oh yes, it's the completely dull and uninteresting call of the common square. I'm not talking about drinking to the point of passing out, that's stupid. However, having two or three drinks, at least for me, makes me feel almost giddy - I feel a lot more confident, I talk a lot more, I laugh a lot more, and in general have a lot of fun. So don't liken it to spinning around until you get dizzy, because that just makes you sound like some ignorant 12 year old who just attended an anti-drinking seminar.

Chill pill. You needz it.

 

[TheSkaAssassin]

There are no safe drugs, only safe ways to use them.

You will understand after you experience it.

"What doesnt kill you makes you stronger"

Wait, so paralysis from the neck down makes you stronger?

You can't imagine how angry that post made me. I'll save myself from mod wrath by not directly replying to it. It's not worth it anyway, if you have something to say say it and stop alienating my previews posts which most likely don't understand. I NEVER said I hate people who help others. NEVER! I DIDNT EVEN IMPLY IT !

 

[Pyro Paul]

in other news, child dies from swallowing Tooth Paste.
obviously we should ban this drug as well!
it is killing our youth!

when people do stupid things with chemicals they don't understand, they die. simple as that.
it doesn't matter if it is tooth paste or arsonic.
