Let's talk about drugs. It's fair to say the War On Drugs isn't working, that something at the core ethos of drug control needs to be changed. Do you do any sort of drug reguarly? I think, looking at alchole and ciggerettes, and the amount of how many clinicly addicted people there are, that legalising of other addictive drugs isn't the awnser. They're cramping down on codine based OTT products, I've been banned from a few phamacists even though it's part of my regular drug regime and have showed them proof... so I just make sure I don't get banned from other places by buying from different ones each week. I think it would be worst for a stronger drug, such as Morphine.

But saying that, what's currently going on doesn't really work eaither. There are ways of getting Control Drugs too, such as the fact that you can get prescriptions online in the UK (never done it, but would like to try it, to see the process work or not, but wouldn't risk it in case they speak to my GP and I get banned).

Do you take drugs reguarly? My story with drugs is pretty much the same as the TV show 'House'. What's you view on the whole thing?

When I was a raging alcoholic and got into some trouble I had to find a way to cope with not drinking every night of the week.
And so I would steal my mom's pain pills, in order to get that fix.
That slowed into taking allergy pills. And then eventually I didn't take anything.

Now the only drugs I take are ibuprophen or acetaminophen.

But I plan to steal one of my roommates pain pills next month for when I go to the orthodontist.

So you're okay with some addictive drugs being legalised
ones in which you frequently partake yourself, but you object to others being legalised, despite the fact that abuse of alcohol is generally much more damaging physically than abuse of anything else? And that rehabilitation programmes such as treatment with methadone have been shown to be ineffective in a large percentage of cases?

Legalise them, tax them and above all educate people about them. Even if it was legal and of high quality I'd still have zero desire to try heroin/crack etc because I'm aware of the inherent risks.

Also, why have you been banned for buying meds which you have a prescription for...?

No, not at all, I'm saying that I have no idea what the solution is.
Different drugs are different, a sollution to one is not nesserarly a sollution to another. However, you can regulate that, you can say no to "Drug A" and yes to "Drug B".... BUT, different people are different too, but you can't regulate that, you can't say yes to "Person A" without saying yes to "Person B".

Maybe, possibly, just as an idea, you could have a whole new specification of job, something that doesn't exist currently, that gives you permmision/access to gain a cirtain drug. Like a cross between a bar-tender, doctor, counciler and phamacist. WIth technology, you can make sure that someone has to be registered for them. This way, the person can say to them, "Look, I got a crack habbit, I take 3 rocks a day, I'm going to get these anyway so I might as well get them from you where they're safe.... Ok, here is 20 rocks for this week, 19 for the next...and so on" or someone can say "I'm going on a night out, I want an E.... ok, now I know it does this to me, I still want it, but only once this month".

Oh yes, deffo, but there are 100,000's of people who take it, and there must be a reason why they took it in the first place.
This kind of drug-dealer as I mentioned above would be able to limit down the amount of drug taken to help people get off it, or people who insist on having it to have it safely within the realms of limitation. Nobody, I think, takes it for the first time in their right mind, most people who I know who have taken it claim they were drugged or douped into taking it on their first go. So if you had never taken the stuff and did went to this kind of dealer, they could say "Why are you taking it? OK, you want effects ABC.... try this instead".

Our experiences differ.
The people I know who've done drugs have chosen to do them for pleasure, and the two I've ever tried (weed & speed) I did out of curiosity, one I liked, one I didn't and never did again.

Tobacco is the only thing I started on by accident, I got hooked from smoking it in joints and it took a very long time to get clear of the addiction, if indeed I have.

Oh, and if we're including legal drugs, alcohol was choice and non addictive, I'd less soon give up chocolate or cheese.

Codeine is about the only thing I partake in now, when needed of course.

I took speed once with a friend and then sat in a chair and watched him whizz his tits off
then I fell asleep.

I take drugs
But I have no access to drugs in Cornwall and have never tried to seek out drugs here. I have tried lots and lots of different types of drugs when visiting friends in Reading and London but have not had access to them when I got back. This means I have never developed an addiction and could quite happily never do any drugs ever again. In fact I think there's still an eighth in my cupboard somewhere that must be over two years old now. Its probably no good.

My personal opinion is that drugs should be illegal to sell but not illegal to take. Criminalizing the bloke snorting a line of coke doesn't do anything to solve the problem of addiction and drug related crime.

Of all the drugs I have ever taken the only one that made me feel shit wasn't acid or coke but Tramdol which totally fucked my head up.
( Peej, Thu 7 Jul 2011, 14:36, Reply)

Tramadol made me a bit giddy and giggly
then I slept for 17 straight hours. And no, after two years your eighth is probably knackered - it's taken me 13 months to get through mine and I can tell you that the last five or six joints have hardly been worth it.

Waste of money, slow, and noisy. I can wash up after a roast dinner for a family of four plus two guests in less than 15 minutes.

It's a luxury
but once you've had one, it becomes very hard to do without. As with all luxuries, I suppose. You get used to them, and they slowly become necessities
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 7 Jul 2011, 14:48, Reply)

My parents had one growing up
it was my job to loads and unload it. Then when I moved in with my aunt and uncle when I was older they had one, the idiots used to wash the dishes before they put them in so they didn't block the filter. What a waste of time, water, soap and energy.

Do you want to come around mine to help?
that would take me ages, roasting pans, saucepans for veg and gravy, chopping board, cooking utensils, 6 plates, 6 bowls, 12 glasses, pudding dish, 6 knives, 12 forks 6 spoons, 6 coffee cups, 6 teaspoons....oh god I feel weary already
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 7 Jul 2011, 14:49, Reply)

The trick with the pans is to wash them right after you empty them
Whilst the meat is resting. That way they are still really hot and nothing has dried on to them yet. Same with saucepans, if you wash them right after you empty them it takes seconds. After I have cooked and served dinner there only the plates and glasses left to do.

The argument that other drugs should be legal
because alcohol and nicotine are legal is the argument of a child. I have nothing further to add as I don't really give a shit one way or t'other.

Is Portugal still a case in point?
From Oct 2010
BBC: Can lessons be learned from Portugal's drug laws?
- I'd be interested to see a follow-up!

As for myself, I suffer from CPS (Chronic Pain Syndrome) due to an old injury and a slightly bodged operation or two. CPS is what the specialists call it when they don't have a fucking clue why you are experiencing pain. I'm currently wincing my way through a 3-month no meds (other than caffeine and alcohol) period because I don't want to completely fuck my liver and kidneys with NSAIDs before my kids are old enough to become organ donors. When I'm on meds, it's a rotation of ibuprofen+codeine and paracetamol+codeine or tramadol if I can get it or diclofenac if I'm desperate because I've had some strange experiences with that.

The only time I've had illegal drugs was about six or seven years ago
someone gave me a few puffs of their joint (ahem). I'm not and have never been a smoker so didn't really get the inhale bit. So all a bit pointless really.

I have been utterly off my tits on prescribed drugs though - ativan had me laughing like a loon and staggering around attempting to pull a drip trolley behind me.

Didn't really enjoy it though - more than two glasses of wine leave me shitfaced. I'm not keen on losing control to be honest.

I'd happily legalise all drugs though and ensure that people had to visit some sort of facilitator as Gonz has suggested.
