Category: Let's talk
A recent survey showed that over 50% of over 16's have experimented with illegal substances. Most drugs are illegal, and yet most people know someone who has had experience of them and is not ashamed to admit it. so...
have you ever done drugs? and if so why is it that it doesn't bother you considering you know that they're illegal?
after all, most wouldn't so readily admit to committing any other crime would they?
Sure I've taken drugs. Several times, several drugs. and I gues I don't have a problem admitting it because if it's harmful, it's only harmful to me. I'm hurting noone else by what I did, whereas other crimes are detremental to others and not just yourself.
I used to intentionally sniff permanent markers (and still do occasionally), although it was more like only smelling them. I didn't inhale deeply or haven't actually felt funny after doing that; I guess I just like the smell. (I'm thinking this counts since permanent markers are considered an inhailant.). Other than that, I also drink occasionally, but not enough to get drunk and it's usually not something I'm that into anyway, meaning I can do without it and it's not a big thing to me. Other than that, I've never tried anything like pot or cocain or LSD or any of those other things and wouldn't want to. I'll admit, sometimes I'm curious, but I'd be too scared what might happen and since I've never tried it, I don't feel I'm missing anything out of it.
I drink occasionally and have gotten way too drunk on a few occasions. I have also shared a joint or two with friends on several occasions. One time I was both drinking and smoking pot, and I got sick as a dog. I also didn't like the feeling of losing control and will never do that again.
A very small amount of pot when i used to live in london, but nothing since then.
Mainly just drink.
Justlike post 2, i see no wrong in it, its only us that is having an impact from this.
Regarding post 1, most people on here do admit to other crmes, i bet you could send a qn out asking how many people downloaded music and i'm sure you'd get a few yeahs.
Or lets look at i another way, how many of you will admit to recording things from the radio when you were younger? I really don't see whats wrong with it, i'd never take anything stronger than that, aslong as we don't disterb others whilst we do this, then i can't see any harm.
BEN.
I have never tried any illegal substance, nore do I intend on doing so. It's just never something that's ever bothered me or interested me. Sure I drink, both alcohol and caffene, but so what. Man, I'm 22 now, and I only tried a cigarette this year. I've always sworn that I will never ben a smoker, an it's just as well. I hated it, lol.
I smoked pot for a while when I lived in Georgia but quit when I moved away from there.
I have never ever done drugs nor smoked or drank. I think it's stupid but that's just my oppinion. Not downing anyone that does it. I hear now you have to show ID to buy compressed air because people are using that to get high.

I never have, nor will do drugs. It's pointless. I feel great without them.
I've never done drugs, not cuz I'm a goody-two-shoes, but they've just never appealed to me. I remember my parents telling me how proud of me they were that I didn't do drugs, etc. I laughed, because usually someone should be proud of you cuz you had to make an effort at something. In the case of drugs, it just never interested me, and it still doesn't. I will drink very occasionally, but that's about it. I think a lot of it has to do with my control-freak nature. I don't like the idea of anything else being in control of me and my judgment except my own, unimpaired brain.
why is everyone talking about drinking when it's legal? unless you want to talk about how you managed to get away with drinking under age it seems a little off topic here.
As everyone seems to be saying what they've done, I have taken many different types of weed, Extacy, and magic mushrooms. I'd love to d something really hilucenogenic just to see the affects for me as a blind person.
I haven't done drugs. When I was in the hospital, I found I enjoyed the effect from pain killers way too much. I've also been drunk once or twice, and it scared me to death. Like many who've posted so far, I'm too much of a control freak to do that again. I know how I am with coffee, and how am without coffee. If you count that as a drug, and I do, I'm way too adicted to cafeen. One vice is enough for me. I also figure I've enough trouble functioning blind, and don't want to complicate matters any further.
I have done drugs before: many drugs, many times. I dropped LSD back in the sixties, but the times were different and the drug was different.
Many years ago I smoked pot on a regular basis, I sold it, and I even grew it for a short while. I think the drug laws in this country are rediculous.
However, I don't do anything now, very little alcohol even. But, that's my choice, because I don't like the results, not because the government or anyone else says I shouldn't.
As far as my revealing my "crimes", I'm sure the statute of limitations is long gone in my case.

I've done Cocaine, marijuana, cannabis & alcohol. Cannabis should definately be legalised and decriminalised for MS sufferers ect.
I've done addaraul and weed. I also intend on trying Salvia at some point, that's probably spelled wrong.
I smoked a lot of pot and some hash as well. I totally agree that canibis should be legalized. I mean alcahol is legal because the government can make hundreds of millions from taxes on alcahol sales. pot is a naturally occurring plant so the government has no right to tell me I can't grow it or smoke it. I never sold it. I haven't smoked pot in eight months, but that's a personal choice, not because of the government's insane and byast drug laws. Besides, pot doesn't cause liver failure etc. And let's not even get into comparing alcahol related crime as well as cases of domestic abuse to that of pot... I hope some of you get that reference. Unfortunetly, most drug legislation is not in place for our safety. it's in place due to big business, tax revenue, political agendas, and racism. And if you don't believe the racism thing, then do some research on the pot and cocaine crimminalization in the early 20th century in the USA. To say it's fucked up and dishonest is an understatement. As far as I'm concerned, make everything legal, but, educate the public about it. Don't feed them lies like the government and media does now and have done in the past...
I've smoked pot a few times, which didn't do anything at all to me. Also, I took magic mushrooms once, and the whole experience was really scary. Why doesn't it bother me to admit this even though it's illegal? Because I don't think it should be. These are laws without ethical basis, so I don't feel I did anything wrong--stupid at the most, but not wrong.
No but it can sometimes speed up the onset of Schizophrenia, or cause flashbacks similar to those experienced with LSD ect.
Only a fool would think it's cool to harm himself. Just my opinion. I tried weed but didn't like it. From a very young age I was always around people who did drugs but it never became a habit for me. From what I saw, I wasn't missing out on anything. I thank D.A.R.E for that. I hope nobody on this site will destroy their own life with drugs.
We have had the D.A.R.E. program in our Commnity ..The DARE to keep kids off drugs program..

I want to try pot but havent. I watched both my parents go to the pen for it. and it broke my heart but fuck what's wrong with pot its a fucking plant!!!
Gitarre god 1 your stupidity continues to amaize me. Your totally off base on the tax thing. Pot is not legalized because of the rasism and cultural aspects of it. If the government legalized pot they could easily tax it. They could institute the same laws with pot that are currently in place for moonshine. You'd have companys growing lots of pot, sell it over the counter and the government could tax it just like they do alcohol and tabaco. As for it's harmful effects it can lead to the onset of skitsifrinia, which is a fairly bad thing.
I think like most things smoking pot effects people in different ways. For me its a way to chill out, like having a glass or two of wine. But I don't like the taste of wine or beer, and most spirits are pretty grim too! I think if you have an adictive personality you will take what ever you do too far. Be that drugs, drinking or gambling.
It seams strange to me that people can go out, get pissed, get into a fight, give themselves all sorts of health problems, yet it is leagle. People smoking dope are too chilled to bother with a fight, and yes smoking is bad for you, but you can buy cigarettes almost anywhere, so what's the difference! It is also daft to say that dope is a gateway to trying harder drugs, I know many people who haven't gone down this route and also people who have skipped streight to the hard stuff. I could never take an E because I'd be so scared it'd kill me that I'd make myself have a bad trip.
But each to there own, and as long as you aren't hurting anybody else, and still functioning as a memeber of society then do what you do, and don't be ashamed of it. There are certain people I wouldn't tell but that doesn't mean I'm ashamed, just being mature enough not to shout it from the roof tops. I know people who have a pathetic attitude that because they do drugs they are something special or big.
When I was talking about the laws being unethical and in place due to racism etc, I was mainly refering to coacaine. And that is totally true. Do some freaking research. The info is out there. And oddly enough, I don't recall myself lacking intelligence at any time, and furthermore, I have rarely been told that i lack mental ability. also, the govenrment couldn't control the growth and sale of pot if it were legalized. There are too many underground national and international drug networks in place for that to be feesable.
actually, they could! They wouldn't legalise anything, simply decriminalise it, and licence certain places to sell it.
In this way, people would be able to buy pot legally, but only from licenced dealers. The illegal market would collapse over night.
nope, never have, and never will.
Ok, after Connie's comments about me taking a date rape drug, I went away and consulted a friend of a friend who is a cop in an american city. He said that Extacy has not been known as a date rape drug for a long time, and only was in the past when used in conjunction with large amounts of alcohol. Apparently when the 2 are taken together it can knock you out and you won't know what's happening to you.
The current date rape drug at least here is Rohypnol, it is a depresant and tranquiliser. the effect is that it makes you totally unaware of what you are doing though a person can still tell you what to do. It is freely available in europe and mexico.
I'm not sure if this is the exact drug used in hospitals for small procedures where a doctor needs to ask you to do things, or not, but is very similar. So, please be more factual if you're going to try and rubbish me connie.
Sorry people, I forgot when creating the last post here that Connie actually made those comments on a different board, where she quoted what I said here. but this is where the discussion about drugs should have stayed. so, sorry for any confusion caused.
24) Ever heard of moonshine you fucking idiot? It'd be the same situation if pot got legalized you unintellegent idiotic worthless sack of shit.
Plip Plop. Organised crime would move in on the legalised growers and you would have a vicious and bloody drug war. There is too much money involved in drugs, even pot, for organised crime to ignore the legal growers.
I never have nor will I do drugs either. I dont' se the point. Not even one joint for me, no thanks, it's bad for me and I have enough ways to die already. It's bad enough when I sing at clubs or bars I inhale all sorts of secondhand smoke, and that's just as bad, if not worse, so I don't. Alcohol however, is ifferent, it's not a drug, lol. But yes, I do drink not as much as I could, but I could also afford to tone it down a bit.
30) Your fucking stupid, because organized crime totally interfears with the brewing companys now a days. They wouldn't dare move in on it, because the companys would go to the government for help.
Nope! I haven't done drugs, nor do I ever want to. It's disgusting and dumb in my oppinion.
what they need to do is quit wasting money on trying to stop the sale of drugs, and make them legal. Then they should take that money and put it in to rehab places to help folks quit or recover from the use of them. Just my opinion.
Yeah knock out a person, usually a female person gender out so much so that death overtakes them...
to Quote: "Apparently when the 2 are taken together it can knock you out and you won't know what's happening to you."
Yes and so much so that this is a FOREVER EXPERIENCE as D.E.A.T.H. sets in...

Why be foolish..??
When WISDOM it is that seeks to be Welcomed within..
Got a mind.. use it
Do NOT abuse it..
Thinking is a terrible thing to loose out on.

Never have, never will. I've seen more than I ever cared to see of what they can do to a person. I don't care that it's not the same for everyone, and that it might not affect me the way it did the people I know who've taken drugs. It's the same with getting drunk. I've had a bit to drink, but never enough to even really get tipsy, and I prefer it that way. I have no problem at all with people who choose to do drugs or drink, it's their body, their life, and their choice, but it's not something I have any desire to do.
Many years ago, when I was still going to junior high, I attended a backyard party and, boy, if you guys could just see the things I saw there that night! I saw a half-naked girl who was passed out covered in her own vomit, I saw a teenager get beat up and he couldn't even raise his little hand to shield his face from the blows, I saw guys groping girls and the girls were just laughing, I saw a guy pissing in front of everybody, and, man, let me just tell you, it was a sad scene to see. That's the kind of beauty you're missing out on if you don't do drugs. Say no to drugs.
You Rock! Mr.Raskolnikov,
Right on..
Connie ~ Grace
please i know people who are better off high
So do I, but they sure are a sad thing to look at.
yeah I never will and never have
Interesting to note, These are laws without ethical basis, and yet oft times there are in fact laws WITH ethical basis...consider and give careful thot for a few moments in passing to those ones who are of fertile age and readied to become impregnated..realize that there are long range at times consequences..what harms not one my very well give all of the least of say the best to another and much grief to pay to another.
At this time I am thinking of females who when impregnated also were consuming say, the drug heroine into their selves...and sad to say into their young infant's life at well...Babies have been born addicted and requiring to go through withdrawal of the drugs in their systems that were passed into their young lives within the Mother's womb. Yes these infants recover, only thing what a burden that need not be to start out life with.
Just some personal thots,
Connie ~ Grace
Just weed for me thanks.
I've smoked a joint or two back in my younger days, but as has been said before, I'm to much a control freak to ever partake of such substances again. I too liked the effects of pain killers a bit much, so I'd just prefer to stay away from all drugs if I can help it.
No, never and don't plan on it. I'm disabled enough as it as being blind, don't want to screw myself anymore than I am.
