Very true about what drugs can do.

[swee'pea99]

Daily Mail-level bilge: the kind of 'thinking' that serves only to reinforce the bunker mentality that maintains the absurd, ineffectual and in truth positively sinister 'War on Drugs', and help the US Government maintain the modern world's largest remaining system of organised slavery: Federal prisons.

It's very poor, it has a sort of muscular right-wing bar-slapping mixed with pseudo-christian themes. It leans on the puritanical theory that anything pleasurable must automatically lead to sin. Sanctimonious and judgemental. Dog vomit.

This is more accurate about drugs, but it's very, very nsfw for swears and some cock and balls and drugs.

What a complete load of pious bulls***.

Indeed.

In protest I almost stoked up a fat one, so to speak.

...just shows, you can never, ever predict the way some cyclists will react or take offence.

Im sure if perfectly possible and many do take drugs and remain in control while living successfully. Winston Churchill for example who was an alcoholic. Thomas Jefferson loved his weed and even farmed it. The list is shockingly big. So to suggest you cant use and be successful or hold a normal life is nothing short of poppycock.

They are addicts none-the-less and weaker for it, maintaining the outward appearance of 'success'... still each to their own eh?

Maybe it gives them an extra boost that they need. Allowing their minds to expand further than otherwise allowed.

Had a tea or coffee today? Some sugary snack? It's all to do with endorphins, what drives us, what makes us human. It's not a weakness at all, it's who we are, the vast majority cope with it just fine.

Be grateful that they were addicts. Just think of the consequences of them being 'straight'.

Regardless of your views on drugs, you'd have to be a simpleton to be impressed by that.

Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I'll own your soul.

I took ketamine twice in this squatted pub :

thought it was rubbish, never touched it since, that was fifteen years ago, this article is made of LIES.

I was told the same sort of stuff at school, and coupled with the Grange Hill 'Just Say No' campaign and poor old Zammo's story.... I was adamant I'd never try drugs. A few spliffs later and me and my pals were out picking magic mushrooms, and those trips were fascinating, funny and hugely bonding. We ventured into LSD, speed, E, Charlie and had lots and lots of fun... but after a while it becomes the same old same old and TBH, a bit dull. Two of 'the gang' are now junkies, but managing it fairly well (i.e., not mugging or stealing, nor living in a skip, but teeth are a bit thin on the ground for one of 'em)... as for the people from them days who are no longer with us... it was alcohol that got 'em.... but since that generates tax, lets just say 'drink aware'.

Fish in a barrel, HP.

Drugs don't make you weak they just make your weakness more clear and visable. The weakness was there from the start.
