I was always afraid of the idea that different drugs would shrink my brain/genitalia. I gotta protect my investments ya know (especially the latter XD)

you really think most people smoke weed regularly? Maybe a significant fraction have TRIED it once, but it's not like most people get high on a regular basis (more than once a year)

alcohol, depends on how much you're talking about. Casual drinking maybe

I don't hate people that use drugs, I've got a number of friends that make regular use of weed for example. Rather, I hate what it does to people, the culture behind it, etc. as I mentioned in my first post. I respect them less and I look at them differently but I certainly don't hate them as a person.

I dont really give a shit about poeple who take anything harder than coffee, as long as either, they stay away from me or it doesnt affect me in any way, unlike cigarette smoke.

Though i do believe that doing drugs is the most pathetic attempt at being happy.

Eh, there's really only 3 ways to escape from your problems in the real world:

1) Experience them so much that you become desensitized to it
2) Try to face them head on
3) Drugs

Idk, but it seems like drugs are the easiest way...

From personal experience I find drugs to be the most pathetic form of escape. The only purpose for drugs I would even consider is for medical use. Now, I have had family members and friends that have done a wide range of drugs and none I see fit to be socially accepted. Like the few that don't fuck yes the horse I ride on is high. I am glad I do ride on this horse. No I am not shetlered and naive on this subject. The world is going into a shit hole. :/. Maybe being raised by my conservative grandparents while my parents went off and did drugs at "social" gatherings made me this way.

Drinking is different. I have no problem with people drinking its the people that get shit faced drunk and then ask you the next day, "Hey man what happened last night?" that bother me. Control yourself and grow up a little. :/

Ill read up more and what not. Im off to class though sooooooooo BBL

good point, but I think its logical for drugs to be the worse/most pathetic form of escapism since it's the most extreme form (physical-wise, from a chemical point of view)

Alcohol and weed are not that bad, but they can often lead to stupid shit. Basically you have to be mature about it, and you'll be in control, even while drunk.

There was a documentary on norwegian TV, where they put some scientists, and some famous doctors from the biggest hospital in norway in a hotel room for a couple of days.

Their assignment was to debate which drug they would allow for use if all drugs including alcohol was already banned.
Alcohol wasnt even considered, while weed was highly suggested.

I dont understand how people can say that all drugs are bad, and drinking is a somehow better.

The foundations of life is chemistry, so how can one really hate drugs? And hate is such a strong word! You sure you mean't hate?

There is a myriad of medications, drugs, that are useful and many that can alter your mind in one way or another. There are some substances that can alter your mind or not depending on you own biological condition and not the drug per se. There are many drugs made by your own body that can alter how you see things and even alter your mind like the best of drugs out there - so how can one truly hate drugs?

Even though my personal philosophy is consider my mind a sanctuary - I avoid anything that harms it or alters it's efficiency/workings in any way - I still don't really hate drugs.
I do consider drug addiction shameful and with it most forms of loss of self control too - but I suspect this has to do more with my own learned, and adopted, value system than any real universal moral issue. I do pity some drug addicts. I have no pity though for the sort that goes around harming themselves and others over and over - but hate them? In the vast majority of examples a drug addict is but a poor excuse for a human being but to be human is to err. I consider myself incapable of falling in such steps but who knows? Change circumstances a little and you'd be surprise how weak our metal can be lol.. Disdain for self inflicted injury for the sake of superficial motives? Disdain for weakness or stupidity? Maybe man, but hate drugs? Or drug addicts? Nah.. I definitively have nothing against drug use if there is no significant injury to the user or the society he lives in.

There far worse things in this world to use as an excuse for when you fall prey to the one emotion that never gives and only takes. Hate is far worse than any drug you will ever encounter, and it's just as phuking addictive as the worst of them.
