drugs and our society
 

since 3,000 years ago drugs played a huge role in religion, society, and culture. aztecs used mushrooms in religious ceremonies, mexican natives ate peyote in their cermonies. both hallucinogenic drugs. ever seen alice in wonderland? any non drug user will deny the creator lewis carrol used drugs (although this hasnt been proved he did), but if u watch the movie.. i mean come on... theres blatent usage of mairjuana, and eating of magic mushrooms. we allow our children to watch this stuff, but when it comes to real life people can jump to stereotypes. sure there are harmful drugs out there... pcp, special k, crystal method, etc. but there are substances which provide little damage to ones body (sometimes less then smoking a ciggarette) such as psilocybin (magic mushrooms), lsd, and mesacline/peyote. its ok for one of the greatest bands of all time to write songs about lsd, but when it comes to an individual its a crime. sure, i do have a problem with someone smoking pot everyday, but once a week? i dont see a problem here. i knwo there are alot of nonusers here which are willing to jump down the necks of any user. i ask u this, why are u so judgemental among users of light drugs (mairjuana, mushrooms, etc.)? even msn has articles written on the effects of taking mushrooms and lsd. what did they have to say? nothing other than it can cure depression, and leave a person feeling good about life and themselves for months on end.

i think that's a bunch of bullshit. The users of pot and such other illegal drugs have to worry about their supply. Who will they get it from? Where will it be? Are cops gonna bust me? All those questions are reasons that might cause panic. About the person feeling good for months on end...wow. Maybe on the physical level during the drug usage, but other than that, i don't believe that's a valid statement. What about the families of these drug users? Many family members don't realize that someone is using drugs. In many cases, if the drug user's family found out, the family will be crushed. Trust will be lost among other things. I KNOW there will be an opposing argument towards mine that will match or rise above mine. But, for once think about the consequences on your family....that's all.

sorry, my words were fuzzy there. I really shouldn't say pot as "where i'm gonna get it". It is readily available. Also, i feel that sometimes money can be spent on better things...that only MY opinion. I still despise people who smoke pot...sorry

it's not as expensive when u think about how much cd's cost these days(15-20 bucks) which is about all I spend in a week

yup i'm on garry with this one. i just dont see how people feel the need to get hooked on drugs. waste of time and money. i dont like drugs of any kind, even prescription. when I get sick i just drink tea and drink tons of water. i care more for my body than to put a bunch of useless shit into it

It is a lot easier than you think. Getting in trouble by your parents is easier than getting in trouble with the law. Obtaining a drug is just as easy. Imagine the money a person spends on a case a beer, we'll say 20 bucks. That could get you 2 grams of some chronic stuff that will surpass your drunkness and hangover. I however used smoke pot everyday, did some painkillers, and tried shrooms a couple times, but no longer just because i don't feel like it. If the occasion comes up, i might hit it, but i just have no need to do it. There are many stereotypical things that people say, but they can't say shit until they try it.

I guess i'll stay the hypocritical dumbass instead of trying it so i can have a valid argument

shit, no edit button

I meant STEREOTYPICAL, not hypocritical

Fuck drugs.

ya uh...where to get it...Mikes cousins house...there done...next question?

Drugs are good in some aspects though, they expand your mind. After time though, the pleasure from taking drugs slowly decreases and the pain increases. Which is why all the good artists like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, Chris Farley and Kurt Cobain are dead. Which is why I'll never do anything above pot, because I know that if I get addicted to all the hardcore drugs like heroin, I won't be able to control myself. I'd wanna do that shit all the time. My mother went that road; dunno where she is now and I couldn't care less.

err, sorry for my double post.

other things expand your mind too, such as travelling to places outside of where you are and learning new things, reading books, playing video games, watching movies, trying new foods, the list can go on. drugs is just a substitute that people use for those things. oh well, i could care less what people do for individual satisfaction. people abuse it and corrupts parts of society.

True true, but most great artists of our day and age were drug users. Those things you mentioned can help expand your horizons, but drugs seem to be the "cool" thing now.

music? is that all that drugs can do for you? and it depends on what music you are interested in if you believe that the best musicians did drugs. cannot agree there

I think music does more than drugs. If you listen to the right music, you dont need drugs. Personally never touched hte shit except to through away a friends home made bong.( he wanted to ditch the evidence but was too lazy himself). I just listen to music and do healthy things. I feel happy enough.

i have thought about it, and i honestly dont see what the problem is. i smoke a bowl once a week, and eat mushrooms pretty much ever 3 weeks or so (use to eat mushrooms everyother day). is there any harm being done? sure theres a problem when ur kids getting hopped up on herion or snorting cocaine all the time, but if u keep control over urself, and what you eat/smoke you'll be just fine along with ur family.

u guys talk about a "punch to ur body" or "their bad for u". could u prove this for psilocybin (mushrooms)? i havent found any dangers yet other than someone being a dumbass and picking the wrong type of mushrooms.

Drugs are alright if you use them a few times but becoming dependant or addicted to them aint good.

every 3 weeks*
they're*

Do you see what drugs can do to you, Innoxx? biggrin:

MUSHROOMS TASTE GOOD WITH STEAK

Damn, where's Low Spark when you need him.

i think hes got a life or something

keeping people off of drugs is people who THINK they know whats best for you..kinda strange. but i will never do drugs

It really annoys me though how some people use drugs "for the hell of it". They ask, "Why not?" Well, i think , "Why the fudge do you need it? Obviously, you were living perfectly fine as a 10 year old. You obviously don't need drugs for entertainment or whatever the reason may be."
