Of course, but as the old saying goes "all things in moderation", we aren't giving examples of real druggies, who are actually addicted, we're just talking about casual use.
People can get addicted to anything, it's a personality problem. People who can't get through a day without two slurpies, eight cups of coffee, and a few vicodin are just as addicted to those substances as one can get to a narcotic, whether it be a physical addiction or a psychological addiction. I'm not saying that being addicted to coffee is the same thing as being addicted to cocaine, but they're similar.
Some people can snort coke one day, then they won't need it again, they might want it, because, truth be told, it's one of the best physical experiences a human being is capable of experiencing, but they don't need it. other people can smoke one cigarette, and from their become a chain smoker in very little time, it's all in one's personality.

I was drinking mimosas almost all day Easter, I haven't had a drink since.

I agree Gwil, I'm only speaking as a casual user about casual use. I think its possible for someone to keep drug use under controle, but unlike other addictions, drugs can get out of controle in many ways very fast.


The major issue for me is the misinformation and untrusting "teacher" figures who won?t trust kids to make their own decision about drugs based on un-sensationalized facts.

Never tried any drugs. Even though its legal here. Then again why should i?

Very well said! Drugs, no matter how light they are, are all brain damaging, even pot/marijuana. So why make ourselves more stupid than we already are?

From my experience in drugs, only two are to be avoided at any cost: heroin and LSD, each for a reason. Heroin is a road leading straight to hell; it's the only drug that creates a real physical addiction. Heroin addicts drown in their own world, forget about reality, and start dying slowly... LSD is a powerful hallucinogen, and a "bad trip" with LSD can leave indelible sequels when it's not fatal: a constant paranoia, an extreme angst...

My favourite one is cocaine: long time ago it wasn't illegal at all, and it was an essential ingredient of ... Coca Cola's !! But of course it was removed after they discovered its toxic properties. Anyway, it's still an upbeat drug, makes you feel powerful and hyper active for a few hours (however it still causes a depressing "down" feeling after its culminating point)

Are you sure you're not confusing cocaine with caffeine? Or is that some kind of funky Lebanese coca cola you're talking about <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif"> ?

i think back in the 1970s (and/or before?) they DID put cocaine in coca cola.

It was way earlier than the 70's, but yeah, they had cocaine in Coca Cola... hence the name. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Crystal meth is becoming a big problem as a drug here in the U.S. It's probably the most destructive and addicting drug out there, not to mention it can be made by anyone.

coke was first marketed as a hangover cure, and had some sort of weak cocaine derivative as it's active ingredient. they took it out of the cola when people found that adding asprin to it could get them high.

they say that smoking weed leads to a higher incidence of mental health problems in long term users, because studies find that a general cross section of these uses turns up a higher than average number MH cases.

it worries me, because further studies show that almost 100% of schizophrenics smoke cigs.

Coke did have cocane in it in the early days because part of the flavoring is the coca leaves.

So back then it could only be bought from a pharmacy?

No, it could be bought anywhere AFAIK. Coca wasn't recognised as a narcotic like we know it today.

Very interesting article. I could have never imagined that the history of a drink could actually be interesting.

Im against drugs in any form, even alcohol. My country has influenced my opinions pretty much though.

The goverment works actively with informing all students about how bad drugs can be by having former drug addicts telling their stories, (and those stories are enough to keep you from taking them, i can assure you). I know of very few who has taken drugs and they have "only" smoked weed. I have no idea how to get them.

I believe that everyone can have tons of fun without those things.
Using drugs or alcohol to break up social borders isnt the way to go in my opinion, you can do that just as fine without "help".

I do not doubt that you can have extremely happy and good experiences with drugs, but i prefer to have those extremely happy experiences with my girlfriend, family or friends instead, and with a clean mind.

None of the drug addicts probably ever predicted that they would become addicts. It can happen to anyone, even you. Thats also a strong reason to keep away from it.

i've lost track of the amount of dead-uns that i found, but now that i'm not working in the hostel system, i'm looking forward to finding no more. overdoses probably outnumbered all the other types of deaths put together. or is there really only one kind of death, i can never be sure.

All seriousness aside: I think that if drugs were legal then a lot of stupid people would die quickly. That's good right?

are you saying that these stupid people don't do drugs atm, because it's illegal? i really don't think this is the case, but if it were, for your sake, you should hope that drugs don't ever get legalised.

he's one of those people brainwashed by the schools and the anti-drug people so he really doesn't have much experience or real knowledge of drugs

besides nicotine is legal and it has much worse effects on people than pot
