Yeh', drinking alchole to excess on a regular basses isn't a clever idea eaither.
Loads of people have had bad trips and be scared for life, or because of the drugs, done something like beat up a family member or stranger.

If you had a kid, or a little sister just turning 16, would you be happy if she told you she was taking 'shrooms/MDMA/whatever ?

I wouldn't be over the moon.
But as someone with first hand knowledge and experience of it I'd know she's not going to die or do anything daft. I'd rather she took a couple pills than get utterly trolleyed on booze.

If it's so safe, how comes you can't buy it at Tescos ?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:45, Reply)

because the public are so stupid that they won't let the government listen to the advice of experts.

Quite so.

Are there many experts out there who say MDMA/'shrooms/coke/smack/crack are safe?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:59, Reply)

There was an expert who said that MDMA was less dangerous than horseriding, both to the person doing it and others around him.

"Downgrade to Class B".
If it's safe, why don't they downgrade it to 'c' ?
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 15:08, Reply)

It's not safe.
But then again neither is alcohol, tobacco, horse riding, race car driving, car driving, or any kind of thing.

But Class C is still illegal.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 15:11, Reply)

Yeah', class C is still Illigal, but Class B is worst.
If it's only a little bit 'potentially' bad for you, why not bung it in C?

The first two, yes - all experts agree these are way less harmful than drink and fags.

Not going to do anything daft?
I'm 29, I've been drinking regularly since I was about 15 and yet last saturday I got absolutely shit faced in a town I didn't know and ate a packet of mini snack eggs. Would you trust a sixteen year old high on pills not to eat a packet of mini snack eggs if they were sitting in front of them? Tosser

If they were anything like me on drugs
They wouldn't be able to eat (mini eggs or otherwise) if they were offered a million quid to do so.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:49, Reply)

Your drugs must be shit
Why would you take something that makes you unable to eat? Eating has got to be one of the best things along with shitting and having sex.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:52, Reply)

Mine aren't, believe me,
and apart from opium and pot, they all make eating an alien concept for the duration.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:56, Reply)

If the drugs aren't a bad thing, which is what I think you're saying, is there a reason you hide it from your kid?
I suppose that doesn't make a lot of sense, it's like fucking, you wouldn't fuck someone in front of your kid eaither.... but you see the point there.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 15:02, Reply)

They're illegal for one.
And I believe if you can live a happy life without drugs then you should. I certainly wouldn’t sing their praises to her – however if in later life I discover she’s taking them I shall be glad to be able to give her the real truth, rather than the frankly ludicrous and utterly untrue government/media hype.

Personally, I'd rather take medical advice, goverment lie or not.
I like to think, for the most part, the medical proffesionals have my best interests at heart.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 15:15, Reply)

Me too.
Medical advice and the government/legal position are at complete odds with each other.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 15:18, Reply)

I agree.
And I know that, for example, weed was banished in the 'states (and therefore, the 'western world'), because the product of weed, such as Hemp, was at odds with the cotton industry. And as someone who suffers with pain reguarly, I've had mates say things like "Try some weed", and I have done and didn't like it (personally), but I could see what others liked in it; it just wasn't for me. But whenever I speak to any of the verious medical pro's I speak too, they all ask "Do you do drugs? including weed", and all of them say something like "Phew, stay away, bad shit".

Out of all my mates who went uni, and did weed reguarly, which was without counting about 7, all of them were at least pushed back a year, and 1/2 of them dropped out. It's more than safe to say, this was down the weed. Sure, you get high-profile people who smoke it and do well, I'm sure there is a smackhead out there managing his own property portfolios or something like that, too. But I know more people, by a long shot, who have fucked up because of it; than done well on it.... that's personal experiance.

With my dealings with the mental health industry, weather personal to me, or my friends/family, they're all saying that with the uprise in popularity of weed, the figures going through the doors are increasing expodentially.

You UTTER SAVAGE. Mini snack eggs are REPULSIVE.

I NO RITE!
What WAS I thinking. I blame the jaegermeister. And the stupid cunt of a DJ. I also ate a number of mini flapjacks and caramel shortbread.

Right, picture this, there you are in town, you're recked, there is a corner shop.
You walk in, and think it's a good idea to stab the shop keeper and rape his corpse and steal his mini eggs. This isn't normal for you, normally you're an upstanding citizen. Under normal circamstances, you would think "I know, I'm not going to rape and murder this shop keeper, I'm going to purchase these mini eggs with my fiscal rewards". So there you are, willy in the stab-hole you made in the shop keeper's chest, and you get arrested. How many prisoners end up with mini snack eggs? Exactly, I've never been to prison, but I doubt you get many.

.... or something like that, I started typing not knowing where I'd end up.
