From the OP, I get the impression that the OP is talking about recreational drug use rather than medical drug use. I don't think taking tablets to make sure I don't look like something off a horror movie is the same as sticking needles in my veins for some high...The Maddest March Hare said:Anyone who claims to have never touched a drug in their life must have never drunk anything with even a hint of caffeine/alcohol or been ill enough to need paracetamol etc.
Hell, if you had Calpol as a child, you were a drug user.
When phrased like that, I find it rather entertaining.
As the OP said, these things just don't have the stigma of other drugs.
If you know someone who can get it legal or grow it them self I have no problem, but there are a lot of criminals involved in drugs, and most people get it, either them self or second hand from criminals.HSIAMetalKing said:The "criminal" who sells me my drugs is a 20 year old Biology major in my apartment building who slings a little fire so he can afford to pay for WoW and GameFly every month. He gets it from a legal distributor in California.linwolf said:It's mostly because of the fact that if you buy drugs you support criminals.
I know he wasn't really referring to medical drug use. It's just whenever drugs become a topic of conversation there is always one person who stands on the high horse and starts spouting who they would never use a drug in their lives, and then go take aspirin for a headache. While it's all very well to say they wouldn't do the higher class, non-medical drugs, I find it funny how they will get riled up over the word "drug" and use it as a blanket term, forgetting that it includes the cough medicine they took that morning or the tea they're sipping right this minute.zhoominator said:From the OP, I get the impression that the OP is talking about recreational drug use rather than medical drug use.

This is exactly the thing one friend told me. My question in response would just be the opposite: Well, why would I?WickedSkin said:I don't get why people wouldn't smoke some weed now and then.
