Are recreational drugs really that bad????

Question

I go out a t a weekend and enjoy a little Coke and have a few pills and maybe a little ket at an afterparty,. Although I'm not condoning my actions I disagree with the way Recreational drugs are so badly portrayed. I got o clubs which are great dance my **** off with a load of like minded people and there its very rarely any troube. If you was looking at how many drink related incidents there are in london on a saturday night to how many Recreational Drug related crimes there are. The results would tell a tail!

Answer 1

Well I dont know about pills and coke but bring on miss mary. I'll toke up any day before I'll drink, snort pills, or do a line of coke.

Answer 2

No, the problem with drugs isn't that they are bad, it's that they are great.

But even that isn't really the problem. The drug laws are not made to protect you from using them, they are not their to protect kids from smoking pot.

No, they are there for various political reasons. The most important being money. The drug laws create a black market. Black markets create a source of income that is A.Nontaxable and
B.untraceable.

The CIA was caught shipping heroin into the U.S. in body bags during the Vietnam war.

Selling and profiting. Probably even funding illegal (Hence the use of untraceable money) projects.

Right now, people are in jail for possession and dealing. While they did not hurt anyone for these actions. The mass population has been...well it sounds stupid, but essentially brainwashed to believe that the war on drugs is for our own good. That it helps us.

It is NOT the governments job to protect us from ourselves.
It is NOT the governments job to police our morals.
It is the governments job to protect our morals.
It is the governments job to print money.

(Even though the U.S. does not since the 1913 federal reserve act)

If you really believe that the war on drugs was for the good of the public of the U.S. you need to read up on drug busts, sentencing, the constitution and the bill of rights.

Fight the war on drugs, help get it abolished so we cut the cost it has on our country, stop sending money over seas to import them,so we can stop funding gangs and cartels and other violent crime.

So those of us that do want to use drugs can do so with the confidence that what we have bought is not laced, that what we have is actually the chemical we were told, that the purity is known and that the risks are printed right on the side of the box.

Prohibition is wrong, it makes a crime of something that is not a crime.

The war on drugs violates the freedom of religion. The right to the pursuit of happiness (Although not guaranteed expressly, it's basic human stuff.) and costs us more in terms of money, lives and liberty a year, than it has saved in it's entire existence.

Answer 3

From a person who lived through the 60's and is still around "Yes." I've seen too many good people screw up their life. Don't kid yourself and think alcohol isn't a drug it may in fact be the granddaddy of them all. I lived my life and screwed up a lot. Most of my bigger mistakes were the results of thinking “that could never happen to me.” Do what you want but be careful and when your family and friends try to help at least think about what they are trying to tell you.

Answer 4

You're already on a road to disaster, which can only end in a terrible crash. Get help while there's still time. Coffins are forever; you'll never get out.

Answer 5

In the shadow of alcohol and its related violence (I'm a drinker), it is hard to see and justify the oppression of the drugs you mention.

Answer 6

They will lead you down a path, how far you go down it is up to you. If you are not careful you might hit the bottom. Are you in control? If so you are OK if not you are already in trouble.

Be careful.

Answer 7

liquor is the worst recreational drug...it makes you crazy!
