your view is that of someone who hasnt experienced much in life. Some drug users are as you describe but many drug users do so purely for enjoyment on a social level and do not let it take over their lives.

WELL YA I HAVE DONE A LOT IN LIFE BUT THATS OK PLUS I SEEN TO MUCH BAD THAT HAPPEND TO PEPOLE.... AND ITS ALL IN THERE HEADS THEY DONT NEED THEM

I have actually seen a lot of bad too but that was alchohol

I just dropped some acid.

I used to drop acid in the 1960/70's. It wasn't as refined then as it is now and people used to see snakes coming out of peoples ears and all kinds of weird shit. Many people jumped from high hights because they thought they were being chased by all manner of things from dragons to the devil! Much safer and more refined now. Just make sure you are with friends and people you trust if/when you pop them and you'll be fine.

You do know where acid originated from I assume?
It was concocted by the military as a truth drug orriginally.

Young man (loser named nearly) was living with his grandmother. He asked her "granny have you seen my pill bottle labeled LSD" Granny said "fuck you and the pill bottle, their are fucking dragons in the kitchen!"

There shouldn't be any drugs to go around. Period. Drugs are a waste of time, brain cells and money..the list could go on.

"Everyone does drugs."

I don't. I hope you're just implying that a lot of people do it nowadays, lol.

No, I meant the illegal drugs :)

Pooltoy is correct about the creator of LSD. It was discovered by accident when Hoffman contaminated some of his food with a plate containing LSD.

I didn't have LSD last night though... it was LSA, a less potent cousin of LSD that is extracted from Morning Glory seeds or Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds. It's too hard to find real LSD these days (I've never seen it). It all has meth in it.

And I agree with Stargirl. I avoid most legal drugs (tylenol, aspirin, cold medicine, alcohol) because I either have no fucking clue what is in it (see cold meds) or it doesn't treat me too well (alcohol). I've never heard of someone overdosing or getting a hangover from good old cannabis.

Oh right, and @ Poster...

I'll assume what you mean by "drugs" is "drugs classified as illegal by the government".

You say that people who use drugs are stupid, yet you can't form a complete sentence with correct spelling or punctuation. From first impressions, I would think (correct me if I'm wrong) you are either(a) uneducated, or (b) stupid. I use "drugs" nearly every day and I am not considered by anyone who knows me personally to be stupid and or uneducated.

Drugs do not take over your body. If you moderate how much of a substance you use correctly, you should still have complete control over your body. That's why on the tylenol package it says not to take more than 8 per day.

I'm thinking you are very young or just stupid because not everyone focuses all of their time and energy into shopping. Believe it or not, drug users still do grocery shopping and buy clothes.

Just because a person sells drugs doesn't mean they have no job or are lazy. Last summer I worked 2 full-time, labour intensive jobs so I could pay off my new vehicle. That's 16 hours per day of work. Could I ask you what you do for a living?

I've never read in a newspaper about someone getting arrested for using drugs.

So to sum up a long post into something a little more readable...

Go fuck yourself.

Yeah well, now I see where we part ways. I understand that not all illegal stuff is bad, but drugs, I think they are. I mean, look at the effects of drugs on people, even Mary Jane, the lighest drug. I don't want to become stupid when I get older and sit there like a vegetable because I smoked so much weed when i was younger.

Obviously, its all a difference of opinion. I don't care if the government makes all illegal drugs well illegal obviously lol..because I dont have to worry because I will never use them. And I think the government is doing a good job determining what should be illegal or not...keep it up Feds! lol

Not to be mean but, as an adult on the internet, it is scary that you are supporting marijuana. Not good.

Well, thats real nice..having an adult come on here supporting marijuana when I (18 yrs old), am against it. How fucked up is that?

Yeah well the problem with me is that, If I do it, I'll probably somehow get addicted and ruin my life. So I'm gonna stay away from it. You know, I can still be happy and carry on my daily activities without tokin' lol. IDK, its a person's choice..but definitely not mine!

LOL..Gretchen.

Nah I don't think she's brain dead. But she is one hell of an opinionated lady! :)

LSD was created by a sciebtist in a lab he found it growing on seed and wondered what it was. Wheat seeds I think it was

Yeah well, here's the difference. Whenever I take an aspirin or tylenol (hardly ever) but anyways, when I take them, it relives the pain and helps you get through your ailment. When you do weed, you lose brain cells and plus you sit there being high and not know half the time what the fuck you are even doing. There is a kid at my school, his name is Mark. He is a fuckin stoner. He was in my gym class and he just stood there the whole class because he was high on weed. Do you think I wanna be like him. He is definitely not the best role model. Well IDK if you do it as much as he does it but it does not look fun and yes it may relieve your stress and it is not as dangerous as most drugs, I don't want to be stoned. It just looks stupid and yes, it DOES kill brain cells.

Your generalization of marijuana not killing anyone is true. BUT there are side effects and it does affect your health even though it is not as potent as say Cocaine, Heroin etc...

Marijuana does not kill brain cells. Could you link me to a non-government funded paper on the destruction of brain cells from the use of cannabis? You won't find one.

I don't know about "Mark" but when I smoke weed, I know exactly what I'm doing. In fact, knowing that I am high makes me do a better job at certain tasks because I am more aware of my environment. Mark sounds like a really immature individual. I don't know his specific situation, but it sounds like he just smokes weed "because it's fun" and he is unable to respect that he is getting a free education. It's okay to party it up and drink on the weekend, but you don't drink at school or work, do you?

Now if you have a medical condition and you are not smoking enough to experience any psychedelic effects of marijuana, I see nothing wrong with using it at work or school, assuming you are able to function normally while using it.

I personally have IBS (a digestive problem) that causes often unbearable stomach aches. If I smoke a bowl or two (not enough to "get stoned" for me) the stomach pains will disappear for 12-24 hours. I've tried several medications and they all either had side effects or didn't work at all. I can smoke before work and I will be far more productive than if I didn't, because I am not in constant pain while working.

I understand that you are against it. That's good... the fewer potentially harmful things you put into your body, the better. Regardless. if something that has very few negative side effects can make someone feel better or help sick people function normally, why oppose it so much?

I will say again, it does NOT kill brain cells. It DOES reduce the brain's ability to handle short term memory, but not to the point where you have no memory of what you did while under the influence of it.

Okay then Buttsecks, then YOU find ME a link to a non-governmental paper about the non-destruction of brain cells. You've got to convince me about that.

Okay, I did exagerate on the part where you have absolutely no memory when you get older do to the smoking of Mary Jane. But hey, I would rather not smoke it because my memory sucks anyways..that wouldnt be good for me. What you and Stargirl have said about marijuana having good side effects and beneficially uses I agree with, don't get me wrong. It's that, I don't like the whole premise of adults coming on here saying and supporting marijuana. Think about it, if a teen comes in and reads your posts about saying how good it is, then they may think its okay, therefore giving them all the more reason to go and do it. While smoking it may be good, people at that age will often misuse it...so I think that openly coming on here saying it is beneficial is a bad thing.

Okay then:

- that one says marijuana PROMOTES cell growth in the brain to combat depression.

http://stason.org/TULARC/health/hemp-marijuana/index.html
- Here's an excerpt:

"
The first one -- marijuana kills brain cells -- is based on
research done during the second Reefer Madness Movement. A
study attempted to show that marijuana smoking damaged brain
structures in monkeys. However, the study was poorly
performed and it was severely criticized by a medical review
board. Studies done afterwards failed to show any brain
damage, in fact a very recent study on Rhesus monkeys used
technology so sensitive that scientists could actually see
the effect of learning on brain cells, and it found no
damage."

I could keep going if you want me to. That's just what I found with a Google search in a couple minutes.

I don't think it's wrong that I am supporting marijuana on this website. It is an adult website (18 last time I checked) and even if kids were allowed on here, I think it's good to spread awareness about how marijuana isn't something evil. I do not support people smoking it under the age of 18, because when you are still developing, you shouldn't be exposed to any drugs or smoke.

And I'm still waiting for a non-government link about the killing of brain cells from cannabis. I doubt I will have convinced you with my links, but I would like you to try and convince me with yours.

I'll admit that I won't give you any links. I'm just basing it off of what I have heard and what they tell you in school. I know in the next post (if you make one) that you will say the government is out there just to tell you its wrong even though it is not (in most cases).

My only point is that there ARE under agers on here (even though they arent supposed to) and teenagers. I don't like when someone says its ok even though you back it up with information, which is cool. I'm not proving ya guys wrong or anything about your finds on the benefits of marijuana. It is just that, these people will think it would be okay to do it, but they might not know how to use it sparingly and not know how to even it out (They're too young and could get addicted). Also, it could cause troubles at home because no matter what we say here, the parents (most of the time) would not agree with us no matter what kinds of benefits we find about marijuana.

So basically, what I am saying is, although your findings are true, I just don't think it is a good idea, generally, promoting the use of marijuana on this site.

(Now if the site could somehow prevent all under 18 ners on the site and could be an adult forum then I obviously wouldn't mind!)

Okay, I KNOW about it and read about the benefits...I realize that it can be beneficialand I heard that it can be helpful for stomach ailments. It is used to treatmany other things. I admit I still have a corrupted view of it, but I do it because I know I will never do it.

I know for a fact that I will never use it because A) I will get in wayyyy too much trouble and my family will basically look down upon me. And B) Knowing myself, I will probably get addicted because I will like it too much and won't have a strong will power to stop. So it is best for me to start.

Well glad you have fun with it, but I am content not doing it.

or best for me to never start, which I was going to say.

Really?

Because I didn't think so.

Well thanks though!

For me, its just better not to start at all.

Thanks Star :)

It's always nice to hear that from someone!
