Sure, tobacco is more adictive, but not excessively so; Going out and getting wasted is going to do you a lot more harm than having a single cig.

You need to acknowledge that there is more than one side to an argument; just because you have strong views on something doesn't make you right, or in your language, high and mighty. If you're going to make a point, use reason instead of spite, and don't end with retarded conclusions like END OF STORY. You're not convincing anybody that way.

An Skidz/whoever else smokes, they have over the counter meds to wean you off of the nicotene(lol,sp?). In the long run, it'll save you not only your money, but keep you from having many health problems that are going to catch up to you unless you quit.

As for pot; it's not even addicting. The last time I did it was quite a long time already, and I have never felt the urge to do it again (even in my "Pot-Period" I never needed pot, I just liked it).
Never did pills, never will. Just don't want to =)
One question for you Dip. You're 16; you're addicted to smoking, you do pot and you did x? At what age did you start?
#64
Posted 23 February 2008 - 01:16 PM
Pot I started smoknig when I was 13, same with cigarettes. I tried acid and shrooms I think when I was 14, and then I tried E when I was abotu to turn 15. Later that year I tried Coke a couple times, but didn't feel then eed for it liek msot people do, but I got into E HARRRD. I was donig it 5 days a week, like 3-5 pills each day, for like 3-4 monthes. It was jsut too much, and I jsut needed to stop.
I think the reason I wass able to stop the E, but I can't the smokes, is because I could see the effects happening all at once, while with smokes, I just don't notice the bad effects, so they come on more slowly, and more spread out, while with E, when you're body has had enough, it will tell you.

The funny thing is, there's more harmfull things in the FILTERS than there is in the actual tobbaco. So basically if you took out the filter, and put in a cut(a joint filter, I'll explain if you really need me to), you would actually be doing less harm.

Copied and pasted for major LOLz.
over 70% of all persons in a hospital in the U.S. are there for alcohol-related injuries or illnesses.
persons who smoke are more likely to die and they don't spend much time in the hospital
persons who are morbidly obese die from all kinds of terrible health problems, but they are also more likely not to see the doctor until it's too late, they are less likely to take their doctor's advice and they wind up staying on disability and welfare for longer than drinkers and smokers because obesity puts people out of work more often than smokers and drinkers.
pot smokers think that marijuana is better than cigarettes, which is probably true, but pot smokers don't smoke as much as cigarette smokers do. Pot doesn't have the formaldahyde and other terrible toxic garbage and addictive additives like cigs do, but get this, marijuana turns into this real sticky substance, worse than cigs, and one joint can cause more coverage by this sticky stuff to the lungs and esophogus, which causes more damage. Cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana are all depressants. They cause depression, and used all together, can lead to some real bad mental health problems. Morbidly obese folks are already screwed up in the head. Alcoholics are more likely to beat their children and wives, or husbands, kill pedestrians and other drivers than pot smokers. Teen pot smokers are more likely to kill their parents. Pot also cause psychosis more often than alcohol. Cigarettes help schizophrenics and sober alcoholics stay calm and more organized. More people who are heavy drinkers are actually suffering from bipolar disorder and use alcohol to medicate themselves. Overeaters are medicating themselves all the time. Pot smokers too.
And meth is a hundred times worse than any of the above.
EDIT: LOLOLOLOL AND THIS TOO XDDD
smoking marijuana is very bad for you,Oslo it will lit you to heaver drugs,it going to scramble you brains,and in one year's time,you going to be so bad ,evening the crazy house will not tack you.and you be versing Avery day.keep away from this staff

See? Even Skidz agrees with me! Wasting your life on a forum isn't bad for you. :P
Alcohol can kill brain cells, and thus make you forget things. Pot frays the nerve endings in your brain (which causes the high), and if those endings don't repair themselves, you become mentally retarded. Literally.
Over use of alcohol can lead to liver disease, and a few other health issues. Not quite sure what pot causes, other than retardation, but it apparently coats your lungs and asophogus with muck.
Alcohol impares you senses, especially balance and sight, while pot can either give you energy or take it away.
Correct me on anything if I'm wrong, but to me, they look equally harmful. Pot might even be worse. You can repair a liver, or even replace it if necessary (though that's not very likely), but so far, it's impossible to repair a brain, and even if you could replace your brain, it's impossible to transfer all of the information from one to the other.
Alcohol can kill you, but at least the health problems it causes can be fixed.
Though I also don't know what the chances of pot making you retarded are.

As you can see, Cannabis is both less harmful and less addictive than alcohol. The source for this graph btw is a highly-rated medical journal called The Lancet.
This claim can also be verified in this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2007/ma...drugsandalcohol
Which states: "Some of Britain's leading drug experts demand today that the government's classification regime be scrapped and replaced by one that more honestly reflects the harm caused by alcohol and tobacco... ...By their analysis, alcohol and tobacco are rated as more dangerous than cannabis, LSD and ecstasy."
Also:
"Alcohol impairs driving more than Marijuana", from New Scientist:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2063...-marijuana.html
Though, I will give you this; that Cannabis smoke is more dangerous than Cigarette smoke:
http://news.bbc.co.u...lth/2419713.stm
HOWEVER, That does not take into account that cigarettes are more adictive than cannabis; A single joint of pot on its own may be worse than a cig, but you have to look at the addictiveness as well, tobacco is more adictive than cannabis.

THANK YOU. Although, I will disagree with you. With the E nowadays, it is very hard to find any PURE MDMA pills, and are therefore very dangerous becasue most will include cocaine, meth, and/or other drugs. But yes, MDMA on it's own is not very harmfull. Only about 200 people die a year from pure MDMA, and that is WAYYYY les than alcohal and tobacco.

Eating McDonalds feeds your hunger, and it tastes good, but can cause heart attacks, or liver damage.
Watching TV is fun, but can caus seziures, or eye damage.
Driving your car gets yo0u places, but could lead to paralasiz(sp), or even death.
Using drugs is fun and give you a good feeling, but can cause brain damage.
EVERYTHING you do in life can be bad for you. If you look at the statistics, more people die from car crashes than from cocaine or ecstasy. ****, more people die from lightning every year, than people die from pot, which is, oh yeah, ZERO.

Yes, there is raod saftey, but driving isn't illegal, even though it kills alot of people.
SUre, drugs aren't GOOD, per se, but nothing really is. It is a choice, and people shouldn't ***** at people for maknig that choice. If they are gonna ***** at people who do drugs, because it can kill them, ***** at people who drive, because that causes more deaths.

Posted 24 February 2008 - 01:46 PM
But ya, I won't ever touch crack. The thing about crack is, it isn't pure. No matter what anybody says, the stuff in crack is sooooo bad, same with meth, because to turn it into the rocky substance that it is, it needs some sort of chemical that is extremly bad, and addictive.
Pure coke isn't that bad, neither is E, and in some ways, neither is Heroin.
Notice how I said not THAT bad.

@Eug: Does your 'war on drugs' include alcohol and tobacco then? Will you personally never touch either one?
Also, I'm 17 and I've done coke, pot and alcohol, yet I'm a top of the class student who is on course to get 3 As at A level and then go on to university; so I think your last statement is a bit of a generalisation. I agree that drugs are bad, but merely trying them isn't going to completely ruin your life or cast you to hell with no chance of redemption (but lets not get into a religious debate).

It's jsut like anything, if you can handle it, then go ahead and do it.

That is why it is getting closer and closer to becomnig legal in Canada, because the Canadian government realise that it is jsut liek alcohal, but even less harmfull.

Same with coke. If you are out at a party, and some guy has an 8-ball, and throws you a line to hit up, and you do it, and you are having a good time, but stop there, and don't do any more, than you should be good.
It's all about how well you can controle your drug use.
Somebody who has bad self controle shouldn't do anything worse than pot, because when you do coke, there is like a 24 hour period when you really wnat it, and people with low selfcontrole are more likely to go buy some more.

And Yes, I do have friends, but my friends agree with me on this issue, and the ones that don't know better not to invite me to a party if drugs are alcohol are present.

But ya, see, Caael tried he, he foudn it fun, but wouldnt do it often, which is perfectly fine, but I'm sick of people saying that weed and E, and to soem extent cocaine, are the worst things ever, and how they can do other things to have fun.

I personally have friends who smoke weed, and I've actually seen a few high, but honestly I dunno why they do it >>. I usually just go somewhere else.
And yeah, I'm not the persons who say "I'll never do this!". I were in situations where I could have smoked, but honestly refused x.x
hmm, I just can't see myself doing something that has negative consequences (physical, social, etc.). To show how extreme I am - I can't even say 'd!ck' in real life x.x
I know, a bit weird x.x

I can relate to this completely, word for word. I have friends who've done drugs/alcohol, and I've been in plenty of situations where I could have done it if I wanted to, but I chose not to. Same thing with the language - I choose not to say words like that.
It's all a choice - and it's NOT ok for anyone to criticize it.

Well I wouldn't have done them if Sam hadn't introduced me to them. He's not a heavy user, he gets it from his mates. I wouldn't actually buy it from a dealer, if I was going to have any it would be from a mate and that's it.

I wouldn't say it makes the party fun, but it sure helps. Also I don't really drink alcohol for the alcohol anymore, I just like the taste. The alchohol feeling kind of helps, but it's a sort of taste really.

Not nessecarily. Cocaine come downs are very enjoyable, and though you want it a little, it isn't a bad comedown. I actually enjoy the coke come down. Shrooms and Acid barely have a comedown. You jsut feel a little loopy because everything isn't all, hallucinagenic(sp) anymore. The only thing that coems from a weed comedown is you feel a little sleepy. The only drug that really has a bad comedown is Ecstasy, but it's a 6 hours high before that happens.
And besides, doesn't the good feeling of helping a lady cross the street, or helping somebody move go away too? All good feelnigs will go away, and the drug one lasts longer than any other feeling that a good deed brings.
Just because it goes away, doesn't mean it wasn't worth it.

That's where it all starts. "Oh it won't hurt, just try it." See, if that were the case, they wouldn't have laws against it or the D.E.A. (Drug Enforcement Administration.) Sure, it might not harm you once, but after a while, you get the urge to try it again...and again...and again. Pretty soon you get the urge to try something harder, darker, and you try it....again...and again...and again.
It's a slippery slope, and I just feel it's safer not to go skiing on that mountain at all. (Like my analogy? B))

ANd I disagre. People who do drugs can still have self controle. If you do drugs, it doesn't mean you don't have self controle, it cna mean you jsut liek the feeling. People know of the bad things that can happen, but they do it by THEIR choice, and not becasue they need it. Some peopel do though, but not everybody. Alot of people know how to handle their drugs.
#155
Posted 25 February 2008 - 07:56 PM
Yeah, some people enjoy the feeling of raping someone, killing someone, over eating, thiefing, just name it... Does it make it right? It's all about self control man.
Yeah, I'm feeling the urge to have sex now, I should go rape the next person I see!
I wouldn't doubt, the thought of doing drugs came up in my mind, actually, I would be rather shocked if someone never had the thought, but you know what makes us humans different? The fact that we can think things through logically, and frankly doing weed just to 'enjoy the feeling' is bad. I dunno about your family and friends, but mines will be devastated if I went into drugs, and frankly I think doing drugs is selfish.
Why do you only consider the physical harm?

I look at what it could do for my school work. I get a 95 average, so it isnt effecting that.
I look at how it could effectm y personal life. My friends dont mind. It isnt effecting that.
It isnt selfish. Everybody handles drugs differently, and if you can handle them well, then nobobdy should be mad for you doing them.
I mena, anybody who drinks alcohal, ahs no right to ***** t drug users, sicne its the same thing. You want a good feeling. An even if yo udont drink alcohal, but have no problem with it, then you also have no right to tell people not to do drgus. Not "you" specifically, but anybody.

your post makes a lot more sense in reference to Skid XD
in response to your edit, my friends do smoke it alot but they're not hopelessly addicted. i know people get addicted to the point of stealing for drug money, i just thought i'd point out you were generslizing again :b

Posted 25 February 2008 - 08:17 PM
@ Eugine-SOme of my friends have done E/Coke, and crap. ANd for the friends that jsut smoke pot, they see how it isn't effecting me in a bad way.
Like, I'm on E right now, and do you see any difference in the way I am posting. ANd I know it's ahrd to tell if yo uweren't right here with me, but I am functioning perfectly fine.

I don't type like I do when I was drunk.
BUt yes, it is great that you guys are concerned, but I am jsut syaing that I know what I am doing. I have researched drugs SOOO much. If I couldn't handle them, I would stop. Like when I was addicted to E. I realised that I couldn't handle it anymore, and I stopped. Now, I can do it 1-4 tiems a month, and I am perfectlly fine.

if it wasnt for my declarations of drunkeness in TRT, the only difference between by sober and drunk posts is that i bait more when i'm drunk
getting drunk to the point of vomitting is just stupid, but a few a good pints are hard to beat. i stop myself when i get to certain level of drunkness, somewhere around the 10 pint mark

ANd so far in 2008 I've done E 4 tiems if you include New Years. I know how to handle my drugs. I didnt always, but I do now.
But yes, when I drink, I always drink too much. I dont alwasy puke, but Ill be stumbling, and just messed up B).

Yeah I've got the same thing with drinking. Just about 1 and a half year ago, everytime when I took one little sip of alcohol I always ended up wasted. That's why I rarely drink anymore, cause I know my self control sucks, yes I admit it!
Weed on the other hand, doesn't give me this addiction like I get from drinking alcohol. When you drink alcohol it makes you more outgoing and you dare to do more, which makes you want to have more. Weed makes me relax, and I don't mostly have the urge to smoke more unless I don't really 'feel' the effects (unlike yesterday... B) ).
Though I don't say that weed ISN'T addictive! Cause mentally, it is. Of coarse this depends on the person, but in my case I can say there've been times when 'Green Friday' was the sole motivation for me to actually do something.
The only other drug I did besides marriuana and hashish are mushrooms, and even though I've had fun doing them I doubt that I'll do them once more. Maybe I'll try Ecstacy once as well, but further I'm not planning to go...

Ya, whenever I am getting powder, I alwasy taste it, and take a little bump. If it's good coke, it'll numb your mouth out in seconds, and well, even with a little bump, you'll feel the rush.
But yes, pills can be very dangerous. They could include ketamine,meth,cocaine,heroin,lsd,PCP, or caffeine. That's why I say either buy off somebody who you REALLY trust, or buy a pill tester. They are cheap, and work GREAT. you take off a little power, and drop tihs liquid of on it, and then jsut watch what colours it turns to. If it goes to jet black within 5 seconds, you are lookngi at a pure, 100% MDMA pill.

That made me laugh. It's "affecting" not "effecting". And control doesn't have an e at the end. 95 average? B)
Anyways, back on topic. This seems to be a huge debate, and although some argue that some drugs "relax" you, it's because like alcohol, those drugs are "depressants" (rather than stimulants like E). It's actually slowing down your body, decreasing your reaction time and your thought processing.
Though I know we're mostly talking about E, this was a good video:

@ Eugine-You are right. I am suggesting people doing E. Honestly, it will be one of the best things you ever experience, if you get a good pill. I am not saying do it alot. I am not saying go out and do 6 pills, I am saying, go to a friends house, pop a pill or two back, and just have fun. I don't find it offensive. I know I proably shouldn't be telling people to do drugs, but honestly, the feeling you get on good E, is wonderfull. Especially if you find good quality, high MDMA content Ecstasy. There is a VERY small risk that you will die from MDMA alone(200 a year, like I said before. Driving will kill you faster), and that small risk, is well worth the experience you get.
#186
Posted 26 February 2008 - 08:52 PM
I honestly jsut wish that for one full day, everybody could have the feeling of pure MDMA, not actually tkaing the pill or anything, but jsut get the feeling, just to see what the experience is really like.

But really, I think there are better things to spend a day / night doing than drugs that are more beneficial and productive for you both mentally and physically. I think constant drug use is just detrimental to the mind and body, as that time could be spent reading, listening to / writing music, using the gym, studying, working etc. Maybe once in a while as a recreational thing (as I have done a few times) is a good way to enjoy yourself with some close friends, but constant use (multiple times a week or numerous times a month) can't be that great for you.

@ Elliot-But constant use of lesser drugs liek Marijuana, is not all that bad. Seeing as you play video games, and cna I assume drive, there is still a risk of sezures, or getting into a car crash right? Then why do you still do those things? Because they are FUN(well, driving gets you palces, but still). Everything you do in life has risks, but yo ustill do them, becasue that is what life is about, taking risks and having fun. And don't go on some shpeil abotu how "oh drugs are more dangerous so THAT'S why I play video games every day but won't touch drugs".

ANd people will say "oh that white stuff is jsut the THC crystals", WRONG, weed with alot of crystals, and weed with cocaine of it looks dramatically different. If you are gonig to do drgus, do them safely, and don't be ratarded about it.
If you have noticed, I am strongly against Crack, and Meth, and PCP(even thoguh I've done PCP once, but I was stupid back then), becasue those drugs, even if they are 100% PURE, are VERY dangerous.

Oh and just so you don't call me dumb, I know you were joking.
