    rc12… cafien and alchohol are both drugs so that might make you the loser and drugs are ment to be here.without them there would be no advancments in medicen and health no free love from the 60s(dont bash it was a good thing)personaly i dont think you know much about “drugs” i think you randomly said it.also this is claiming pot has gateway afect i believe its illegal status makes it a gateway.pluss with a father doing everything under the sun then yah that might lead to meth as well.

    I agree with bensoncon92. Drugs which are not meant to be, are for losers and those that do not want anything better for themselves or family

    In my opinion…
    Meth isn’t a Drug…
    Meth is Fucking suicide…
    Meth, Not Even Once…

    Meth makes your body produce 6 times more dopamine than your body can handle FROM ONE HIT!

    Dopamine is released from your brain ad it is what causes pleasure from anything (sex and food are the most pleasurable)

    Causing that much dopamine to be realeased after some time… your brain will shut down the neurotransmitters and you will NEVER feel pleasure AGAIN…

    I hope I changed some opinions…

    i smoke ice, 2 points [thatz 0.2 of a gram] every day, costs $50 a point and me fuken pipe is all burnt out now, i suggest if u want to feel good KIDS DO ICE but no ECSTASY! nearly died of ecstasy but ice is fine, just gives u a buzz for 8 – 16 hours depending on how much u smoke then ur up for 2 – 3 days. pretty sick! always it good to do ice at parties, socially helps you fit in with girls, if u dont have any confidence like myself.

    This guy is a fuck up. He was mentally whacked. Now he is religious – and still mentally whacked. Don’t blame this on meth ! Blame this on mental weakness and mental illness. Delusion? Christians believe that God talks to them.
    For every person injure by meth there are a hundred injured by gasoline.

    Correlation does not imply causation – the same argument used by the tobacco industry to argue that cigarettes do not cause cancer. Perhaps mentally unstable people are more likely to resort to drugs.

    I think a great deal of harm is done by social stigmatization of things which would be far less dangerous if heavy legal restrictions were not artificially imposed. (causes a psychological factor in itself).

    Of course not using drugs at all is always a safe option. :)

    i know what you mean to a certain extent,it could be that the miss use of it, like anything else, would have negative effects, as there are youngsters, up and down the country, being supmitted for psycosis and not had the problems before smoking marijuana ? even some top performers in music, film stars like Ian brown, Brad Pitt, loads of rap artists my friends and people i know sometimes got really paranoid on it have stopped mainly because of it, so it something i realised in a lot of people.

  22. Ormaaj says:

    I agree that it has the potential for problems depending upon the mental state of the individual, but I disagree with the notion that using marijuana necessitates a negative psychological effect.

    ... on July February 21st, 2010
  23. Ormaaj says:

    That stinks. I wish people didn’t feel that just because Marijuana is safe and non-addictive – by extension, any other drug must also be safe.

    Meth is just bad bad bad. No way to justify it really.

    bless your wee cotton socks seahhag god bless ya :)
    truth hurts me lovely. Ask your self this, why are you angry ? maybe you seek power over others when your been so rude ? or maybe your just ignorant ? anyhow keep smoking and i am sure you will find out, by yourself, one day ? peace and love always thats the truth :)
