Drugs

i really feel like the people that are going to use drugs are going to use drugs. it doesn't matter to them if its legal or not, obviously. and i feel like the people who aren't going to use drugs aren't going to use drugs, no matter if they were legal or not. so legalization only protects those who want to use drugs, i don't feel like it really changes anything for the rest of us. people who smoke pot and drive are going to keep doing that, even if we tell them not to, becuase we're already telling them not to. :confused3

i dunno. again i feel like this is really one of the least important worries we have as a people.

I know there are more important things, I just have problems getting over the sheer stupidity of some people. like the idiots in the parking lot outside my dorm that just knocked over a street lamp, broke a car window, and I'm pretty sure somebody's hurt. Idiotic.

i don't feel like stupidity can be limited to those who use drugs. testosterone poisoning is probably a big culprit too. ;)
 

hehe.. i should probably keep out of this topic because it would seem as though i am in the minority.. :drinking1:smokin:
 
i drink if im not driving and can afford it. but im the kind of person who makes one drink last half the night, so i've never been drunk. im 19 so its all legal :)

i hate hate hate drugs though. i know people who have done drugs in the past and it messed up their lives, resulting in various mental disorders.
 
am i reeeeeally gonna be the only bad egg here?! lol :laughing:
alright i'll be frank with y'all here, might get me in trouble with some people here, but i might as well be truthful, i'm not ashamed;
i've been drinking since it was not legal for me to and i still drink (i'm of age now in canada!!) and it has not affected me or my life negatively one bit.
i agree with katie! live life & party!!! :cool2:
i won't go into the deets of my partying habits here (perhaps some of you who have me on FB have seen that ;):rolleyes:), but ill just say....in my experience....i'm definitely not anti-drinking/drugs. (by drugs i generally mean pot, harder drugs than that...i'd never want to be involved with anyone who did anything like that)

i have friends who've smoke a LOT of pot, but still manage to be functional members of society and not get involved with any other drugs or gangs or the police, because though some may think it's dumb to drink and do drugs, there is a smart way to go about it. and my friends are smart enough to take public transit and cabs when necessary. :thumbsup2

i've smoked a cigarette or two in my time as well. not a habit i'm interested in picking up. let me tell you it IS as gross as they say it is. i'm not anti-smoking because hey--it's your life, do what you want!

some of you may think i'm scummy or something, and that's fine, think what you want, but i'm not some low-life drunk stoner person. i'm just a young adult who is enjoying everything life has to offer :hippie:
 
i am actually doing an essay in school on why marijuana should be legalized. i'm too lazy right now to write out my main points so i'll do that later.

i have nothing against drinking & smoking weed. i am more against cigarettes than weed. but i think hard drugs are just plain stupid. you get addicted and ruin your life. fun? i don't think so.

actually (gotta play devils advocate, i've had too many brain anatomy lectures) marijuana stays in the system longer than alcohol. (up to 48 hours after 1 use, the brain has not recovered from it and still exhibits symptoms of being "high" even though the user may no longer feel the "high")

and marijuana is also a teratogen.

if legalized, we would need a "field test" for police to preform to determine "public intoxication"

i'm completely for the legalization of marijuana, but its not fair to say that its not harmful to the body. if the laws concerning it were similar to drinking and smoking, i would have no problems with it.

a marijuana bar just opened in portland oregon, if i'm not mistaken.

yes but for medical use not recreational. 775 people are in the bar all for "medical" reasons. :rolleyes: i'm sure.

What are your views on them?

Most of my friends drink and/or smoke pot, and some of them are smokers. I really have a neutral stance on things like that -- It's not hurting anyone as long as you're not out driving. And I don't buy into the whole "weed is a gateway drug" thing because the people I know who smoke weed have never gone on to any hard drugs. And I think that America should lower it's drinking age to at least 18.

Things like heroin, meth, coke, etc., I would could never be friends with someone who was addicted to those. Addictions like that, IMO, are disgusting and they hurt everyone around them.

Me.. I'm just a caffiene addict. *twitch*

See, I guess what I'm most affected by is when the decisions of people I know to use drugs or drink or smoke affect me directly. That's what pisses me off the most.

Also, one of my favourite past times is laughing at the dumb photos people post on facebook (this isn't aimed at you Caitlin). One of the dumbest things you can do on the internet is post photos of you drinking/doing drugs underage. Employers can find that so easily and that is legal grounds for them to not hire you or to fire you. And, if the cops or school administrators see them, they can file charges against you (at least they can in NH, there's precedent and everything). I get a huge kick out of looking at the complete far end of the scale (complete sluts and losers who drink every. single. weekend.) and the photos of them they post when they're completely hammered. I just can't wait for them to regret that.

And you know what, I should really stop posting at two in the morning. And when I'm in a bad mood. and I should really just stop posting on this thread because I just know I'm going to say something I'll regret later.

to me everyone tries pot in high school

I didn't. I had no desire to because all the people I knew in high school who did it were complete losers.

Who knows, maybe there are people out there like Caitlin who could do it in moderation.

I've just never met them. The people I've met who smoke pot are really stupid. Only two of the fifteen or so I know who smoke pot went to college. One's already been kicked out for drug use. Three months into her freshman year. The others are all, to the best of my knowledge, free loading off their parents. One tried to rape a girl while high. Another totalled his car and killed a friend of his (not somebody I knew). And one of them was a really annoying girl I played volleyball with. How she made captain, I don't know.
 
For me, drugs are a no-no. Any drug offense in the state of AZ is take super seriously.

Alcohol on the other hand is ok, in moderation. Although there have been times where I've crossed that line. I'm not super uptight.

Only 2.5 weeks till I'm legal!!!!!
 
i have not tried pot yet mainly because my friend who is really big on it told me she threw up the first time she tried it. i hate throwing up so.. EW!

i'm probably going to end up trying it anyway.


i don't drink much. my mom sniffs me whenever i get back from parties xD
 
maybe it's just where i come from but i know soooooo many people who have/still do smoke pot and i'd say the deadbeat losers are the minority!
sure i know some dudes who got kicked out of school and never went to college because they'd rather sit at home and smoke pot, and i know a few chicks who do the same.and i've heard of some stupid kids form my hs who drove while high.
but honestly, most people i've met in uni/most friends who go to uni have/do smoke pot and they're people you wouldn't expect it from.
perhaps it's because i associate with people who do it in moderation though and not fulltime idiot stoners.

my opinion is recreational/social use is fine by me, but anything past that gets veryy murky very quickly.
