Hey Folks, I was just wondering why most people see cocaine, XTC, Magic mushrooms, salvia and cannabis as bad things? Is it just because what we are used to? You see, for example here in Holland, Alcohol is 100% accepted. Cannabis still get's alot of critics and it's "bad" for you according to most, and alot of people asociate it with criminality. Not even to mention mushrooms or salvia... (which are pure nature products aswell...) But: Alcohol is even more dangerous then cocaine as in the toxic level. Yet, Alcohol is something completely normal, where cocaine and cannabis is something that most people rather dont even discuss. What is it with all the people being blind these days? If alcohol would be a new drug now, it would NEVER be accepted, the only thing that's more dangerous then alcohol as in overdose and toxicity is probably heroin... Any thoughts?
Well, cocaine is bad because it can make you addicted if you do enough of it. I guess there's nothing wrong with it unless you have tons of money to blow.
While that's true alcohol is also quite addictive. Obviously not to the same degree, but most people I know could kick a coke habit before they'd be able to stop drinking. Not to mention that repeated use of cocaine is much less harmful to the body than alcohol. Overall I'm pretty sure that cocaine has the least negative effect on any part of the body of any substance. Personally, I say that stores need to stop selling 1/5's and start selling eight balls :H
I avoid hanging out with drinkers as much as I can and enjoy being with Drug users. Drunks just say stupid shit and cause problems when you hang out. Then the next day they make it worse by telling you how sorry they were for fucking up everyone's time out.
i dont do drugs anymore, i quit smoking weed again...marijuana acts like an upper to me when i toke up for some reason so being as i dispise cocaine and meth etc...i dont do it...i smoke ciggs and catch a beer buzz...thats about it...and im not putting down weed, it used to be kind to me but a few years ago it just started having this meth like effect on me...for those who still like to toke...do it up
i have literally done every drug & of all things i seen the most of drugs thats just how i grew up. so i have experience with everything & everything i learned i had to learn the hard way. the only thing i really have a problem with is tweak. i have been around a lot of dope & used to spin hardcore and it is the dirtiest most digusting drug. anyone who doesnt agree with me has obviously never been around it. it makes you do crazy shit & sucks the life out of you. i dont have a problem with coke really, even though a lot of my family's problems have started with that. coke is okay, its hard for me to pass up but i never pay for it. i cant afford enough to get myself addicted so i know im safe there. thats why its called the rich mans drug. i do hate herion, but luckily i dont see it much any more. my brother used to slam. i think that is just as gross as dope. shrroms & acid i LOVE, but weed i dont consider a drug. and i love to drink. okay...so theres my opinions
wow, this is probably the stupidest shit i have ever seen out of you. if those people could kick a drinking habit before they could kick a coke addiction, then they were never addicted. i have seen dudes suck a dick or slit their mamas throat to get some coke. people get scantless. and your saying it dont hurt you? you are an idiot. thats why i have seen people straight OD and seizure and foam at the mouth & go into a coma. thats why i used to wake up every morning with a nosebleed. but drinking? i aint never seen alcahol do that to a person.
In terms of pure physical withdrawl syndromes, a heavy alcoholic will have a worse time than a heroin junkie. The actual physical withdrawl syndromes of cocaine are quite mild (if they even exist at all).
I can't comment on the cocaine situation because I've never done coke and have only met a couple crackheads in my life and I was with them for about 5 minutes. But the alcohol on the other hand, my uncle was a hardcore alcoholic. And when I say hardcore I mean when he had to go to rehab he shit on his hands and wiped it all over the walls of the room they had him in just because he went insane and had no recollection of it afterwards. He completely lost his mind without alcohol then died about a year after he got out after he relapsed.
Sorry about your uncle. My dad used to be the same way, and probably still is. I wouldn't know because I haven't seen him in about 5 years, even though he only lives about 1 mile away from my house. He is a crackhead and an alcoholic, or at least he used to be, and may be still. I remember when he didn't have any alcoholic beverages to drink, he would sometimes take a few sips of rubbing alcohol to tide him over. Pretty sad.
im sorry about your dad too i have my share of alcaholics in the family. my mom, she was hella keyed & stabbed someone when i was six. she ran away to the mountains and straight was living in the woods. they had hella people out looking for her & they didnt find her till a month later. they found her on the side of the freeway pickin up cans. she still drinks like a goddamn fish and is now legally 5150. alcahol can tear you apart as much as anything else can, but in my experience the cokeheads are worse. they are more scantless. but neither can be controlled.
i was actually talking to someone last night about my crazy mother...seems a lot of people have that in common
Balloonatic, sorry about your mom, BTW. I don't know what I would do if I lost my mom to alcoholism, or anything else, for that matter.
Coke really messes up a lot of stuff. I think I could have bought Peru I did so much Coke. It was never enough too. Speed really does kill and Crack is just plain stupid. I like to Smoke-Trip and Love Opiates. When you are young you live to do Drugs-when you get older you do Drugs to live.
