Drugs, are they really bad?
Okay, whilIe have been growing up (I am 15 now) my parents have always told me that drugs are bad and can lead you into an evil trap and you can end up highly addicted/dependent and really screw your life up. Some drugs like marijuana and trippy drugs aren’t all that bad but still drugs. I think my mother and father smoked some of the bush years back and they drink a bit. I would lying if I said I wasn’t interested in trying drugs, ever.
One of my friends dad uses drugs still, he is about 40-50 and very open about it, I think it’s Cocaine or Speed he uses but he says drugs aren’t really that bad, unless you are injecting them or stealing to support your habit. He’s a great man – super funny, tells the best stories but it feels awkward as he says things like “when you lads are 18 and old enough, if ever wanna go down the pub for a few lines – lemmie know”. I don’t think he is a dealer or maybe he is but my friend lost his mum a few years ago and it was very sad what happened to her she was really amazing but he seems to be using half a pharmacy of drugs to patch it up.
My mate isn’t interested in them much either, also people talk about him as he acts sort of dopey (like falling asleep, world of his own) when he comes to the school, even worse he drives. He is very interesting too, as a guy – he knows alot of general stuff, he helped fix up my bike and he knows alot about cars, he loves his son soo much but he’s into heavy drugs, he aint violent ever or anything, I must add.
Bit strange, eh? What do you guys think of drugs and were do you draw the line?
i know this from personal experience, i use drugs form time to time
there are 2 types of drugs “bad drugs” and “good drugs” if you will. The bad ones are anything you can buy on the street like crack, heroin, special k. this are bad cause the people who sell them are interested in a profit so they mix them with crappy chemicals that keep you addicted.
The good ones are called sacred medicine, many cultures used them or use them for spiritual experiences. This ones are all natural so they don’t make you an addict cannabis, peyote, sometimes LSD, if you can find the chemical known as MDMA that’s good too, it is the chemical that ecstasy is made of. ecstasy is crap it is MDMA mixed with addicting shit MDMA is a very good kind of sacred medicine it is actually my favorite
so you see not all drugs are bad, but there is stuff out there you should avoid.
if you have something else you’d like to ask me or want more details, e-mail at [email protected]
i suggest you go here http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/
but, all that stuff you here on the TV about drugs being bad, its not true..
for marijuana, watch the movie The Union
now yes, drugs aren’t always good (but they can be) but many popular drugs are healthier than alcohol and tobacco…. for how healthy it is, go here http://cannabisfacts.ca/The%20Toxicity%20of%20Recreational%20Drugs the source of this study is here http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/id.3484,y.0,no.,content.true,page.1,css.print/issue.aspx
you don’t need to do drugs, but don’t hate people who do… the only people truly against drugs just, don’t understand them.
stuff you hear about drugs like crack and heroin probably are true, because those drugs are really bad for you, but weed, shrooms, acid, ecstasy.. those drugs won’t ruin your life.. they will make you have a good time, or inspire you, look at all the good rock bands,they all did drugs…. and drugs is what made them good.
There is no such thing as good drugs or bad drugs, if you can control your usage and keep it in moderation. Drugs are fine
In my opinion, drugs like marijuana and other hallucinogens (Mushrooms, LSD, peyote) aren’t so bad if you use them responsibly. They can help you rethink a lot of things that you would never have been able to straighten up normally and change your perspective on life. However I would avoid drugs like crack or heroin and obviously meth because they can really fuck you up and the drugs themselves have addictive qualities. However, you should always keep in mind that all drugs are a risk if not used properly and you can make a habit out of anything regardless of its inherent addictiveness. Also be aware that when using the good drugs: any psychedelic drug (hallucinogens), that there is some pretty potent stuff out there so be knowledgeable before you try them so you know what to expect. Otherwise it could wind up in a bad trip.
If you’re 15, your parents don’t want to see you screw up your potential by getting obsessed with getting high all the time like some people do. Some people can use them responsibly, and some people will get addicted and ruin their life. I know people who are lawyers and CEO’s that smoke marijuana daily, but I also know people who got too far into drug culture and ended up overdosing from cocaine or heroin in their early to mid twenties even.
It’s a lot like drinking. Having a beer after coming home from work or a glass or two of wine after dinner isn’t a problem, but if you need a beer to get started in the morning or come home and drink a bottle of liquor every night that’s bad.
Also keep in mind the legal consequences if you get caught. Not only would you likely cause a lot of problems and disappointment in you from your parents, if you get a drug conviction on your record you won’t qualify for financial aid in college, and makes it pretty hard if you want to get a job better than working at McDonald’s for the rest of your life.
