Drugs are good, as long as you're sensible, and use them in moderation... **** getting addicted to them!

I see from your profile that you study pharmacology... so perhaps you're taking a professional interest in drugs.

I don't think you can actually suggest that there is really any merit to most illegal drugs though, can you? :confused:

Id say there was actually, drugs [illegal or not] are often used as social things that help people have a good time (merit surely) while others [hallucinogens] can often help people creatively.... thats merit enough compared to a lot of other purposeless things humans do. From a young age, we try and experience altered states of conscience, be it through getting really dizzy on a roundabout to having a drink. Drugs are an extention of this standard human behaviour.

Personally i dont take drugs to 'get wasted' like so many people do with alcohol. I see it as an experience to be shared with others.

weed, pills, shrooms... probably more :wink:

I have never took drugs, other than alcohol. I'm really against drug taking, don't see the point etc.

cannabis does have its merits. my friends mum has really bad MS and her dr suggested that she take it as it is the best thing for it.

as beneficial as cannabis may be for MS, it is negligent for a doctor to promote use of an illegal drug.

Lived with an addict for too long to know that drugs suck and anyone who takes them are prats.

petrol station -> fumes (drug) -> diffusion -> air -> nose/mouth

cigarette -> inhalation -> paper -> airways

not exactly an astounding implication, with air being in the context of petrol fumes.
