OK, I think it's now time.
As for my own view, I will some it up in the following quote: "Do drugs and sweat."
I will elaborate on this point if needed.

*smacks razor* Well, heh, there are many types of drugs... and I could care less which ones your using, and/or abusing. Drugs rock, although I'm not on "medical drugs" for problems they claimed I had, I still love my caffeine. =D Other than that my vote goes to drugs everywhere, because thats the users problem with side effects or whatever the **** else, not mine. Now I gotta go and invite my drug abusive friends over this weekend and show them this thread after its "evolved." Of course I'll make sure to do that before they get drunk... or whatever else... heh.

Well that is sort of the reason I started this thread and posted links to the dictionary and wikipedia.
When people (like my mom) regurgitate meaningless sayings like, "Drugs rot your brain." I can't help but wonder what in the hell is going on in that addled mind of theirs.
A more accurate statement would be: "People who can't think for themselves like to spit out vague clich�©s."
So, for the purpose of this thread "drugs" can mean anything that affects the bodies chemistry: illegal, over-the-counter, perscription or naturally occuring.
My question is this, are legal drugs actually more acceptable or "better" than drugs outlawed by the government? Is it OK to do drugs as long as the FDA approves of the drug in question?

PS Of course Mt. Drew is addictive, it contains a ridiculous amount of caffiene and sugar.

over the counter drugs: okay as long as used as directed
perscription: okay as long as its your perscription and is used as directed
illegals: its a no no : )
naturally occuring: ??? o.O :blink:

Naturally occuring drugs can include plants and fungus such as pot, "magic" mushrooms and peyote. It can also mean drugs produced by animals, including people, like tryptophan (the drug in turkey meat that makes you sleepy) and endorphins (proteins released by the brain to reward you for eating, excercising, having sex, etc.)
The gray area for "natural" (as opposed to synthetic) drugs are the highly processed drugs like cocain, opium and LSD-25. These are all extracted and refined from plants or fungus (ergot).
As for "illegal" drugs, I would like you to clarify your opinion a bit. Do you think it's OK to use drugs like pot and mushrooms ("soft drugs") in countries where it's legal? Is it only wrong to use illegal drugs in the countries where they are illegal? What exactly is your logic regarding the legalization of some drugs and not others?
Also, regarding "over-the-counter", this includes caffiene, alcohol and nicotine but I am unaware of any directions regarding their use, making them difficult to use as directed. Maybe that's the problem with those two drugs.

hmmm.... instead of "illegal" i should put "drugs that have negative affects on your body", they are definitely no no's : )
as for caffiene, i think people in our day and age might go crazy without and as far as i know it just makes them hyper which can be funny(unless it turns into a case where they must use the twinky-defense in court)
as for alcohal, drink responsibly, drive safely B)
nicotine hurts your body so i'll place it under the category of "drugs that have negative affects on your body", if any one is willing to disagree with me about nicotine coming from any source(smoking yourself, second-hand smoke), it is deadly, as 420 hoped would happen to one of the jurors when he had jury duty, it can cause lung cancer, sore throats, wooping cough, and just about any other illness to the lungs there is(emphesema will destroy your lungs' air capacity, and is deadly)

GOOOD FOOOORR YOOOUUUU!!!! lmao =D
I say, **** cigars/cigarrettes, and **** alcohol(no we cant get rid of it, no I dont really care). They should ban cigarretes and legalize marijuana. Marijuana is less dangerous, and far less damaging than a cigarrette. But I also believe the age limit should be 14 and up (they're worried about hyperactivity? Here's a cure.) and that it can only be bought under a max quantity and is tracked how much as to not let you get too much, and space the times you buy it by at least 2 weeks, unless you havent boughten up that quantity yet, which gets reset after the period of time is up, whether you bought it all or not.
The whole purpose of the spacing etc. is to prevent you from smoking too much too often and creating holes in your brain. Although you could buy it, save it, and buy more, and smoke it all at once or whatever, then thats their problem and if they smoke themselves to stupidity... *shrugs*
Then again... I could care less for the most part, but thats the way I'd do it... dont worry though... things wont stay like they are now for long... hee hee, I can guarantee that.

Where did you hear this?
I believe the age, if they were to limit it based on age, should be 17-21, somewhere in there. I don't like stoned kids, that's the entire basis of my opinion on the age.

What's to say that Marijuana or other drugs aren't combined with that? Got high, and killed yourself, shot someone, or killed someone, etc. Who cares what it does to your body?, it alters the way you think and do things, right? There's too many idiots in this world to make something like that legal. If people made that legal then a lot of those numbers would rise up.

You base your rant on pure opinion. Not even any experience. Heck, you're basically asking to make sure you know what it is like to be under the influence of Marijuana. You don't. It's not like being drunk.
According to your point - Alcohol should be banned.

I find that very hard to believe. Smoking dandilions can cause lung cancer. Smoking anything is not good for you.
Lastly i can not believe that there has been 0 car related or machinery related accidents causing death where someone involved had been smoking pot.

There has been at least 1 case of someone dying from "marijuana toxicity" in January 2004. The article is kind of hard to locate but I found one version here: Link (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/01/20/ncann20.xml)
but consider the fact that too much water can cause a toxic condition in the body called "hyponatremia" which has killed far more people.

As Bill Hicks once said: "yeah people high on pot get into car accidents, but they are only going 3 mph!"

Wow HeLL, I have never seen someone feel so sorry for themselves. Maybe I should break this off into the "Real Life Sob Story Thread".
Please, before anyone else decides they want to compete with their hard knock life story, don't.
Thanks for clarifying your opinion of drugs (eventually) but remember, smoking still does not create holes in your brain.

Is it true you paid to have Hunter S. Thompson's ashes blown from your butt?
Here is an interesting news article: Link (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050825/sc_nm/life_alligator_dc)
Anthony Brewer, 36, was taken into custody on Tuesday night at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of San Pedro, where police said they found remnants of a make-shift alligator habitat, two snapping turtles and drugs.
Evidence seized there led officers to the nearby home of Todd Natow, 42, who was also arrested. A Los Angeles police spokesman said officers discovered three alligators, four piranhas, three desert tortoises, six tortoise eggs, one rattlesnake, a scorpion and marijuana.
So are drugs now considered dangerous animals?

Actually, I love my life, and I wouldnt have ever had it any other way. If you ask me, if you had to do things over again, would you?
I'd do it twice.
And that was more a story about what my parents went through, and how it related to me and that I have enough experience being around drugs to at least say my opinion, and not have it be taken as total bullshit from a guy who's never even been around them, because, obviously, I have. =D
Also, you forget I enjoy pain, torment, and feed off, not only my own misery, but others. Sad? Perhaps, but I also enjoy helping people and making people happy. Two sides to everything I guess. *shrugs*
Too bad so many people have so little common sense.
This is why I say:
How is it "common sense" when it isn't all that common.
