Thread: Have you ever experimented with illegal drugs?

Most drugs in pure form (and moderation) are not that harmful. Individuals have problems that are allowed to go too far before treatment is started because of the underground nature of drugs.

Take nicotine, in pure form is one of the best drugs. Increased mental acuity, decreased reaction times and sense of well being.
Add creosote, arsnic, cooch grass and the burning agents, deliver in smoke and you have a huge problem.

Most powders and pills problem is the crap it is cut with. Not to mention not realy knowing if it is what you expected / paid for (or if it is the strength you expect).

I for one would rather be in a crowd of stoned people (except for PCP) than drunk people. (from personal experience)
Most of drugs bad name comes from lawyers using it as an excuse. "its not my clients fault because he was high at the time." (He took the drugs, did the crime and now claims to be the victim. Take some responsibility for your actions.)

When I was caught with a bong (pipe), I owned up. Very embarasing to hear later in court "when questioned if the suspect had any cannabis as well he replied "no sir, its my birthday, I was celebrating, I've smoked it all!" "

What I meant was I would rather be in a rave full of happy E'ers than a pub full of drunk yobbos. The latter has much more violent ambience.

I make a distinction between a stoned person and an addict. Not that it is far from 'weekend warrior' to bad habit.

Yes, I have had my addict friends rip me off, and I do mean REAL ADDICTS, lesson learnt. You can be reasonably safe in a room full of snakes if you know which are poisonous. If you have an addict friend they will lie, steal or cheat you any way they can.

>>the thing that saves most peoples lives is the fact that when they run up 50cc of street heroin it is mostly cut

50cc -> thats a big blat (don't you mean 5cc or 50ml)?

Can't talk of the states, but here the quality varies from day to day. Most OD's here are due to random increases in purity.

If you had a doctor as a quality source, _cheap_ and always available (when you were using) would you have still bought from other dealers? Or would you have gone to the doctor and taken the risk they would put you in rehab?

From my experience it was always cash, not supply, that was the problem for addicts. (weekend warriors have the cash)

If we can supply drugs to people at little to no cost, on the proviso they see a doctor before getting them, at least have a chance of getting help before too addicted.

Plus the dealers would have to compeate with low cost, high quality, easily available drugs. Would put most out of business, which is the aim.

Now lets start on the bastards cutting down our irreplaceable rain forrests and selling them to Japan at <US$75 a tonne for paper, when hemp could produce limitless quantities of better paper.

They grow poppies here for opiates, very well guarded. One large womens mag mistakenly disributed O poppy seeds on the front cover!

Pres Carter nearly legalised pot, until one of his aids was busted for coke.

With no THC strains hemp for paper, like hemp for US army uniforms in WW2, hopefully will change.
