Drugs- Your Experiences?

I've tried all of the common drugs. Weed, alcohol, cocaine, shrooms, MDMA, speed. All of them were enjoyable apart from this one time I got conned a bag of weed that was laced with bleach. Worst experience of my life, I felt like I was going to die in the alleyway I collapsed in.

I don't have any grips with drugs. It's all about moderation. Couple of lines of coke are fine, just don't go and blow £100 in a binge. I've got a gluttonous personality myself, but I can control myself and realize when it's time to stop. Also, I try to never use drugs for comfort. That's when you start becoming reliant, and eventually addicted. I only use drugs with friends with the occasional spliff or glass of whiskey in the evening by myself, and when I create artistically. The later produces amazing results and can really enhance your abilities. I got an A* in my coursework, with a short story I wrote while high as hell and drunk on whiskey. :P

You guys really need to look at what the drugs actually do to you - in ANY portion size.

Deluded to the extent it does you no harm? - bit idiotic

Drugs ruin lives. They kill people, they give people brain damage, they make people violent, they make people do dangerous things, they make relationships distant, they make people neglect their children, people get put in prison because of them, many young people are drawn in and eventually die of an addiction. It's always the most vulnerable that are targeted. Drug dealers don't care about you, they just want money. And they'll mix anything into drugs to make more money.

Genuinely surprised anyone uses the govt. sponsored Talk to Frank, try using experiences of people who use them to gauge damage.



I know many people who use drugs habitually, and most are professionals or directors of companies. I hate to say it, but those teenagers who used drugs 20-30 years ago have grown into well rounded people and are now running the country, making your assumptions pretty much worthless!

Duh, the people who use them are stupid enough to do so and are the ones who are deluded. They dont give a flying flick what happens to their body.

Louise Mensch,

Urgh what a horrible example.

At least shes ****ing off http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19146805

You can't say she is a failure though. She rose to the top of her profession at a relatively young age, and although most of her actions have not been... popular, overall she has done well for herself.

Yeah, right everyone who uses drugs is a monster and is stupid. That's why MPs and public figures including Louise Mensch, Chuka Umunna and Richard Branson have used them in the past. Because they are wasters who are complete failures. Please go troll somewhere else.

Also, my experiences of drugs have been mostly good, no hard drugs though!

I disagree with user2334 in that their stupid, however I agree in the sense that the actual bodily harm that cannot be seen is mostly ignored by drug users.

What do you think?

Lol! Imossibru!!
Have you ever revised high/done work stoned?
Never works out I mean you forget the sentence you were initially supposed to be writing, you end up really losing focus and start reading different sentences wouldn't recommend it; there was this time once when I came in stoned for an RE mock exam and I was paranoid throughout especially when I was waiting in line: I thought the teachers would know maybe because I was too silent or had a red-eye it was horrid T.T the 1h 45m exam felt like 3 hours I thought I was going to die I couldn't even relax properly.

Alcohol ruins lives. They kill people, they give people liver damage, they make people violent, they make people do dangerous things, they make relationships distant, they make people neglect their children, people get put in hospital and later in a grave because of them, many young people are drawn in and eventually die of an addiction/binging. Most members of society are vulnerable because it's legal. Barmen don't care about you, they just want money. And they'll rise the prices of alcohol to make more money.


And that's not even close to showing the darkest, most dangerous effects of alcohol. Yet, it's legal and rightly so because people's bodies are their own to f up and not the governments. If they weren't then fast food should also be banned and gastric bands should be compulsory for anyone with obesity. But that is obviously a stupid idea, hence why everything you've just said about drugs is (i) not a reason for them to be illegal in the governments eyes if alcohol is legal for the same reasons and (ii) a lot rarer than people think, yet the media always report deaths on drugs as often as they can. I bet you didn't know for example, there's more chance of death riding a horse or eating a peanut than there is taking MDMA and LSD. If you have experience of drugs that allows you to make such statements then I could respect your views and have a sensible discussion but you come across as someone who simply listens to the gov., media, and people around them that DRUGS ARE BAD DRUGS ARE BAD DRUGS WILL KILL YOU.
