Random Ranting / The "DRUGS" Thread!
« on: August 23, 2005, 09:41:37 PM »
Drug use is acceptable to me. I have used, and will in the future use, various drugs ranging from legal to illegal. I only regularly use caffeine. I really hate it too, can't quit it.
I think prescription drugs are an evil thing in ways. Too often the FDA (or other countries' FDA equivlent) find out that a drug has harmful side-effects years after its release. I don't like the idea of companies leading hurting people to believe they're being helped, only to wind up with some strange RNA mutation which causes insanity or whatnot in a year.
I think that the government should not outright ban drugs, but instead regulate them so they must be clearly labelled with all possible side-effects, much like currently allowed drugs are.
I don't mind others using drugs as long as they do not kill people, hurt people, steal things, or otherwise make people upset or worse due to their habbits or addictions.
I think schools should teach REAL things about drugs rather than the shit they currently push into kids throats. It's incredible all the bullshit you can hear about marijuana, even with extensive studies saying the opposite. (in fact, I personally believe the only negetive side of marijuana is the carcinogenic effect smoking it has, but that comes with burning of all organic material. other forms of ingestion are probably safer than pie (safety-pie)).
Often times I find that legal drugs are much worse than illegal drugs (in my experiences - Codeine and dextromethorphan hydrobromide* being worse than marijuana)
Alcohol isn't a drug, it's a poison.
*dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a substance in many cough medications. It is fine when used as directed, but when "abused" and taken in larger doses it can be a hallucinogen, but I do not recommend it - TERRIBLE hangover the next day, I had a turrible trip, and it can cause permanent brain damage, as can all dissociatives.
