A little something about drugs...(a sort of part 2 of a different thread)

[CrazyRussian]

I was just playing devil's advocate...when I really ask think about it I can't find a good reason why tobacco and alcohol is legal while weed isn't. It's all politics and bla bla bla stuff that isn't worth debating because I don't think it's gonna change.

btw im not lookign to start any fights over the internet, im not retarted. id love to have a nice spirited debate about something in fact thats my biggest complaint about this board is that there arent enough threads like this. i just hate it when you say your piece and someone goes "uhh...no" or "hahahah no"

I understand what ur saying, and the "uhh...no" response was A little "meatheadish" i only said it because Ive done copious amounts of drugs, including alcohol, and alcohol by far has been the sneakiest and most impairing drug ive done.

i am a recovering alcoholic\drug addict. in my former life i ran a prescription fraud crew of 20-30 ppl. doctor shopping\forged scripts on a big scale. i have experienced the horrors of alcoholism and drug addiction up front and personal. stuff movies are made of.........but not glamorous and macho. in real life it is empty and FUCKED UP SQUARED. we have a drug prohibition problem not a drug problem. alcohol prohibition birthed organized crime among numerous atrocities still affecting the country today. dont get me started.

I wouldn't say it "birthed" it as in "if there was no alcohol prohibition there would be no organized crime"....the element and the people were there. The alcohol proh worked as a catalyst for the whole process, but I think if it wasn't the proh, it would have been something else.

probably. but the fact remains...it did. the rest is conjecture.

withdrawals from alcohol can kill you. and yes alcoholism is a chronic progressive fatal disease. much much worse than drug addiction.

hell yea to that. I have dealt with quite a few people going through detox and it is definitely NOT what people think it is. It's not some nausea, vomiting, cold chills type of situation. These people literally lose their mind. They have to be fully restrained because they have are completely out of control. They babble absolute nothingness then will have a conversation with someone in their head. I dealt with a patient this passed weekend whom I have previously dealt with some months back for the same problem. He was caught trying to eat his little plastic urinal that they give you in the hospital. The unit nurses had to give him 12mg of ativan and he was still moving during a CT when the normal dose to knock an adult out is anywhere from .25 - 2mg.

BUT it really really drives me crazy when people bash others for doing "recreational drugs" and turn around, go out, and drink alcohol till they puke, but say that alcohol is not a drug...

hypocrites? yes or no.

I’m not hypocritical. I do drugs and then turn around, go out, and drink alcohol until I puke.








then usually score poon.

I was having this very same discussion with our Traffic Control manager today. Just because alcohol is legal doesn't make it any less dangerous or destructive. It's just legal.
