Gert T 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 But that is no worse then someone who eats ice cream all day and dies of a heart attack at 35 years old. There are plenty of LEGAL poisons that are far worse for your body then pot. I agree 100% with that point, I always hate when people will say my liver's gonna fail me when its obvious, their heart ain't making it past 40. Eating bad is a terrible dilemma in America, and its part of the reason I want to become a PE teacher because that "poison" enters people at a younger age than alcohol & drugs.

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 For the record, there were doctors who thought that heroin could help cure morphine addicts, too. Which, I guess, in a sense is true - you wouldn't need morphine anymore. And you also don't make much sense. It doesn't harm your body, but if you stick a needle in your arm, THEN it hurts you? Zah? The bottom line is, I think those doctors are nuts. Heroin can kill you the first time you try it. And they wanna claim that it "doesn't harm you"? Yeah, ok. Dude's it's simple. The act of "shooting up" is harmful if done repeatedly. Is that hard to comprehend? I never said Heroin is GOOD for you. I am sure there isn't much difference between shooting up heroin or morphine to a terminally ill patient. Either one can kill you if done irresponsibly.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 6, 2003 For the record, I'd like to state that pot is a pretty shitty poison. It hasn't directly killed anyone...ever. Might have caused a case of lung cancer or emphysema, but that's just because it's SMOKE. Get high off eating the stuff in brownies and whatnot, so long lung problems... Yeah but do you have any friends that have consistently smoked for years? Burnt burnt burnt. That's why I rarely ever touch the stuff. I've consistently smoked for years, and have absolutely no out of the ordinary problems with memory, reaction time, or any other mental processes. The kind of person you're thinking of was already an idiot, most likely, then compounded with being lazy and high a lot creates cases of the "yeahs" as well as "mannn." Believe me, I'm aware burntouts exist, but not every daily smoker sits around in the basement watching cartoons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doomsault Report post Posted November 7, 2003 Heroine can kill you if used irresponsibley? I didn't realize you could do it responsibley. I have a feeling this is going to end up in no holds barred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling this is going to end up in no holds barred. Hahaha, I suppose so!?! I mean I guess done in the privacy of yer own home and taken in such a method that leaves no permanent damage and/or leaves no affects lasting beyond the high, leaving said person able to function normal in life besides the time he is high. Who knows? However if a Doctor was to use heroin or pot to treat pain on a patient, who is to say that is any different then using morphine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted November 7, 2003 I drink. Thats it. And smoking dope every day WILL turn you into a burn out...no doubt. And I don't know why people who say getting drunk every week is bad, its honestly pretty darn normal for people at our collective age bracket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I don't know why people who say getting drunk every week is bad, its honestly pretty darn normal for people at our collective age bracket. Who knows, maybe in a few years people will be all like maybe pot should not be smoked for years, as the repercussions will start to show. Not saying it will happen, but it might. They're all "bad" for you I guess, it's just a matter of how much you care about the well-being of your body. If you don't care at all, I'm sure heroin is the right deal for you. Personally, I've never gone past the "curiousity" factor with pot, as I smoked it like twice in one week, and didn't even get high. Haven't touched alcohol since I tried to be all cool and shit when I was ten and sneak some away. I just don't see the point in purposely fucking up your body. To say it could be worse may be true, but that doesn't necessarily make what you're doing all that bright. I personally hope to never touch any of this shit throughout my life, and I probably won't. Straight Edge? Never heard of it till I came to this board, and that dude from Minor Threat sounds like a bitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course I don't do heroin and I don't think it is right for me, however if a person dying from aids could buy heroin cheaper then being drugged from the hospital.....why the hell not?

Heh, I was sort of using sarcasm, since I don't think a person could really disregard the well-being of their body *that* much. But you're right, the point still stands. The intensity of the drug depends on how much you care about your health. Being as I care a lot, I don't touch anything. I also think the most important line in my post was that about the guy from Minor Threat being a bitch, but maybe that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted November 7, 2003 16 and younger = marijuana is a gateway drug 17 and older = people are doing it because they like it All in all, it makes people a tad bit slower. Its brain frying capabilities doesn't excite me, I was a waste of space when I was smoking often, now I don't...and check the cool stud I am now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 the only gateway drug is the addiction to the drug called, "fitting in" that should be the last reason ANYONE ever drinks a beer or smokes a joint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
