So cool you were able to figure that out. Good job.
It's an indictment of this board.....at times by certain folks. It's an indictment of our society by certain folks. It's lazy and dishonest and you are part of that problem. Congrats.
Do you do drugs?

What's funny is you didn't highlight the left leaning stuff and I'm sure would freely admit to that.
Yes we can really "regulate" drugs can't we...gebus you are so far out of touch with reality that you must have dropped acid beyond the acceptable limit...hope your children were born with brains and limbs Sluggo.
You are correct...nothing "left leaning" is of interest to me unless it is talk to eradicate it.
Nope...they are a threat to my way of life...so they are the enemy. Now they don't accept family race mixing so we might have that in common.
Sorry to disappoint you...seems you are a nice enough kid...just too deluded by the popular culture and academia I think.
See wrong at every turn because of your dishonest stereotyping. I'm older than you so not a kid. I don't have cable so I have very little knowledge of pop culture. I haven't been in a classroom setting in 20 years so no brainwashing by liberal professors. Just a guy with wife and kids who works for a living and pays taxes.
Well your posts seemed like that of a 20 something...if you are 40ish I am scared shitless.
Been an addict for 22 years.
Started mostly smoking some weed, but became an alcoholic very quickly.
Wife pretty much gave the ultimatum on drinking, and I successfully quit that about 10 years ago.
Unfortunately, then turned to pain pills. Guys and gals, never do em, not even if you need em, unless you have NO addictive behavior in your family. NO difference between that and heroin, NONE.
That spiraled out of control quickly, led to any opiate I could get my hands on.
To this day, I am doing well, but I still fight it, and not completely sober, but I have tapered way down. Most days I still will take a hydro or an oxy to feed my lie.
I will kick it all again someday.
I have thrown 20 years down the tubes being an addict. I have done OK in my life, but I could have done so much more, and HAD so much more.
Can't even begin to imagine the amount of $ I have thrown down the tubes. I have been reminded of that a lot lately while I watch all of you booking your plans for the Rose Bowl.

My favorite part of this thread is where the guy who preaches personal accountability wants all drugs banned by an overarching central government because his brother didn't know when to get help.
Wow, I didn't expect this much response or arguing. Jakeleg Jake, don't bother with drugs but you definitely need crazy pills!
Actually, Mitch doesn't do any drugs since he overdosed on heroine and coke. He might not be the best guy to quote here. The guy was just awesome. What a waste.
From Wiki -
On March 30, 2005, Hedberg was found dead in a hotel room in Livingston, New Jersey.[12] He was 37 years old. Hedberg was born with a heart defect for which he received extensive treatment as a child.[1][13] It was initially speculated that this condition may have played a part in his death, but the New Jersey medical examiner's office reported "multiple drug toxicity" in the form of cocaine and heroin as the cause.[1]
Hedberg's death was formally announced on April 1, 2005, leading many to believe it was an April Fools' Day joke, only to find out later that it was not. His funeral was held at St. Ambrose of Woodbury Church in Minnesota.[14]
Hedberg was interviewed by Jonathan Davis in the December 2001 issue of Penthouse. In the interview, published three years before his death, he was asked, "If you could choose, how would you end your life?" His response: "First, I'd want to get famous, and then I'd overdose. If I overdosed at this stage in my career, I would be lucky if it made the back pages."
A few months before his death, on October 12, 2004, Hedberg sat in on the news with Robin Quivers on The Howard Stern Show. He appeared on the show again on March 17, 2005, just 12 days before his death, and briefly discussed his drug use, saying, "Well, you know, I got the drugs under control now." Stern asked, "Do you? You know how to take them responsibly?" Hedberg replied, "Yeah, you know, just for the creative side of it."
I hope you can kick it. It takes a good deal to fight off addiction.
Scared shitless is sort of an odd saying. Don't people under duress often evacuate their bowels? Would scared shitless be a low level embarrassment level of fear?
You get really scared; shit leaves your body, so now you are shitless. It's one level beyond "almost shit my pants".
Not necessarily. Do you agree that some deaths are caused by individuals doing drugs and getting behind the wheel?
Absolutely . Get caught driving while impaired there should be serious consequences
The continued 'war on drugs' is there to protect current and future generations from a sad life of addiction.
With the exception of suicides, in both cases, if someone is harmed it is accidental. Also millions of people so drugs and millions of people drive under the influence without harming anyone. Most drug use is responsible.
People committing robbery and murder intend to hurt people and always do unless stopped.
So no, they are in no way similar.
Drug experiences range from fantastic to scary and are among the most memorable times you'll ever have. Trying most of them at least once is, IMO, an important part of the human experience.
I disagree completely with the above in bold. I'd have to see some numbers that show this to be true. Using cocaine, LSD, heroin, etc..... How can that be considered responsible? And when under the influence of such drugs, how do you know the person is giong to just stay put? They/you don't know.
I used a lot of LSD as a teen and young adult. Not proud of it, but I did. And I know for a fact, we rarely sat still in the confines of someone's home.
Yes, smoking weed is a whole other situation, IMO (also did that a lot in those days). But drug use isn't just limited to weed. Not by a long shot.
Responsible drug use?
And they are similar in that people end up dead. Accident or not.
You disagreeing is irrelevant. How many people in this country start their day with caffeine? Yes it's a drug and it was nearly scheduled along with the ones you listed. If not for the efforts of CocaCola it would be illegal without a prescription. What about alcohol? The majority who drink do so responsibly. Same with pot smokers and coke users. The overwhelming majority of drug users are in school on track or have jobs and are productive members of society.I disagree completely with the above in bold.

Yea, you're gonna have to back your statement up with facts. Well, you don't have to, but if you're going to throw it out there, you might want to back it up.
Kind of like the statements made by some that 99.9% of Muslims are peaceful. False.
Look at the rates of use. It's common freaking sense. Are you going to argue that most Americans don't use caffeine and alcohol and do so responsibly? It's not different with pot and coke, but obviously it's not out in the open since people go to jail for that.
You should realize that the problem was made worse, not better, by the "war on drugs."
Guidelines for Sensible Cannabis Use
- Adults should use cannabis as part of a healthy, balanced, and responsible lifestyle.
- The decision to use cannabis should be made freely, and not as a result of social pressure.
- Cannabis users should be well informed about its effects on themselves and others. These effects should include both legal and health risks and personal consequences.
- Never use cannabis as an excuse or a cue for antisocial or irresponsible behavior.
- Cannabis users should model and reward responsible use, particularly with new users.
- Use cannabis as a part of positive social interactions, rather than primarily in isolation or as a remedy for negative feelings.
- Develop sensible cannabis use limits for yourself based on personal, health, situational, and cultural factors. It is important to be objective about your cannabis use and listen to the constructive advice of others.
- Avoid cannabis use that puts you or others at risk, such as when driving, at work, or in public places. Remember, personal use of cannabis may still be illegal for you and penalties are stiff.
- Use of cannabis by children is inappropriate and should be discouraged.
- Cannabis use should contribute to, rather than detract from, users’ health, well-being, creativity, work, relationships, and social obligations.
How many people do you think drink and drive and never get caught? And I mean drive over the legal blood alcohol limit. Just go to a sports bar and watch all the people that are drinking. Then watch those people get behind the wheel. The numbers, I'd wager, would be staggering.
The legal limit is a joke. The majority of people at the bar are fine to drive. I'm not making the claim that everyone is responsible or that everyone is always responsible. I'm making the claim that most instances of use are responsible. Are there some who are often not responsible, sure. Are there others who usually are responsible, but slip up every now and then, of course. There are also those who use and never slip up, and there are those who use as an experiment and don't use again. For the main four illicit drugs this last group makes up half of all users and the rest fall between the other three categories.

Here's the problem brah. It was much easier for me to get drugs than alcohol prior to the age of 21. Shit doesn't work. Anyone who supports the war on drugs is an idiot. Plain and simple.
I take lots of drugs. I take some that are prescribed to me to prevent or treat my migraines. Others for my GERD. I take over the counter allergy pills nearly daily. I also take a daily probiotic to make my poops nice. I'm about to eat a handful to advil in addition to my migraine pill to try to knock out the current headache I have. I used to drink a lot (that's a drug too for all you high-horse dummies) but it's tough on my migraines so I don't do it much anymore. I will smoke some devil's lettuce on occasion, but I live in CA and have a prescription for that as well.
