Drugs- Your Experiences?

Hallelujah! Someone with common sense!

I like to drink until i'm really drunk with my friends sometimes. I saw some friends from different parts of the country and a few from the US all together for the first time in ages the other day. We had a great evening and then all got really drunk and played music and sat in the garden and had a lovely old time.

Why am I a dick now?

Have you read the title? You don't think anyone else who has been posting here would take offense?

"People who rock climb risk their lives and don't deserve any respect. But you know that's my opinion and all, don't hate."

I need to get out of this ****fest of a thread before I get a brain hemorrhage.

Yeah, I'm actually pretty open-minded aha. Just not so much when I've had sleepless nights.

But yeah, I get what you mean. Hell, I once knew an old lady who drank (this is no joke) "cannabis tea" because she found it medicinal for her arthritis.

Hmmmm....never thought I'd say this, but I guess it's down to personal choice. I think the thing that scares me most is how dangerous it can be, but as long as people are aware of the dangers of it and know they can get help...fair enough.

There were allegations she was on drugs, I wasn't aware they'd been proven...?

It's not surprising, cannabis is an excellent pain reliever without the nasty side effects of synthetic pain killers, I myself had chronic neck pain a few days ago which was completely removed after using a small amount of cannabis

Yes that's the key point; personal choice. If that's taken away what are we left with? It's a natural reaction to something you've not experienced and which you expect to be negative, the only thing is education of the effects drugs have on the body and the dangers of abuse so that people can make informed decisions.

I hope you come to understand that drug users aren't as bad as you thought, the stereotypes you have in your mind are indeed a minority. I myself have experimented with many drugs and not addicted to any substance or dependant on any at all. I have normal friends, on track for a 1st at a top ten University, live in a nice home with a nice family, work out regularly; I am a normal person not a "druggie". Considering your first post I think we've made some good progress

Excellent, intelligent response!

Exactly what I'd expect from someone who supports the legalization of drugs.

I think 'lol' is a perfectly sufficient acknowledgement to your woefully blockheaded and lethargic post. No point in even trying to begin a semi-acute debate with you as you are clearly helplessly feeble-minded.

Personally, I couldn't give a **** about rock climbers. I simply dislike people who take drugs. Is there a reason I should respect them?

I've not had that much contact, by which I mean I've never gone out of my way to try a certain drug, but given my lifestyle and everything else I've been exposed and taken some of the more common ones.

I smoked weed regularly in uni and it's been a good experince. No drastic results other than feeling good and then promptly falling asleep. Some of my experiance with weed has been really intense, others have been a dud, but nothing negative has ever come of it. But I suppose one of the issues is that they can be so unpredicatable.

I've had E in nightclubs, but rarely, and it was kind of a 'big night out' sort of thing when I was young. It's fun and all but often I've found I've had 20 mins of brilliance for 12 hours of feeling like crap.

Not a massive fan of coke. Makes me feel so queasy that I barely regester any other feeling through the queasyness.

Magic mushrooms are quite good, it's sort of like a giggly swirly drunkeness for me and I've never felt much of a comedown from it.

I don't often smoke weed now, but whenever I do I certainly enjoy it. I'd like to try some more trippy ones though, definetly want to give lsd a go.

I can see why people can end up on things like heroin though. I know it's a massive cliché and more than a bit tacky to bring up Trainspotting in this debate, but the bit where Mark says nothing really matters when you have a 'sincere and loving drug habit' sort of gets it, it's like being more aware and dumbed at the same time.

In terms of bad experiances, the worst I've ever had is alcohol. I find with drugs I never really go overboard, whereas once you've got the ball rolling, you can do bad things to yourself with alcohol. I've had the most agonizing hangovers, which are kind of typical, but then I've also found myself on the brink of alchol poisoning and/or finding myself in a really vulnerable position. Perhaps it's because alchol is by far my most used drug that I'm bound to have more bad experiance, but I've found that so many more people are clued up about drugs than alcohol.

Here's the thing, Lauren. It's really difficult for people who know about drugs and have experience with them to have an intelligent discussion with somebody who is more than a little bit misinformed and doesn't show much willingness to learn. It's impossible to have a balanced, reasoned debate on the issue when the person you're talking to has started with the conclusion that all drugs will destroy your body, all users are layabout wasters and all dealers are violent scumbags, and, worst of all, believes you deserve to rot in jail. I mean seriously, I'm just an average 23 year old graduate. Why should I to go to jail? You think drugs ruin lives; they haven't ruined mine whatsoever. But do you know what would? Going to ****ing jail.

You know what, I gave my opinion.
You clearly lack such belief in yours that you can't even reply. Instead you became some keyboard warrior, "moron"?

What do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking? Apart from smoke pot?



:') Absolute joker.

I don't see the point of binge drinking.

Do you care what people think of your hobbies? Aren't you a confident individual?
