But I like to listen to music with some enhancement sometimes!
If it's very rare, and it's not to the point of blacking out. Like, it's having a beer or two.
No problem with that. I'm referring to getting so out of your face you can't see.
No. My reasoning for moderation is because I've tried drugs.
Most people do. It's a given fact. Especially in teenage years.
I believe party-taking is OK. I'm not OK with anyone sitting at home on their own taking drugs for no reason.
You're not OK with it for you, or you don't want anyone allowed to do it home alone? What difference does it make to you? (I personally would never do it by myself, because it's lame and pathetic and drugs should never be used as an escape but merely for fun or creativity).
Sis, didn't you know? Gui's interning at the Mayo Clinic.
Ok, i so i don't care about if like me or not. I made this thread because it's a subject that i really wanted to discuss with different people from different places, all opinions are relevant. But if you want to start with personal attacks, **** off to NHB.
I see a lot of pot defenders. But according to several doctors, pot is the entrance card for heavier drugs.
Thoughts?
I've thought about this and the only way pot could be a gateway drug is because it's viewed as something really awful and then when someone tries it they realize it's not. Then they start to think that maybe all the other drugs people said were bad aren't as bad as they've been told.
With that being said, I know a lot of people who have smoked pot and aren't interested in trying anything else. I also know people who've smoked pot and then have gone on to harder drugs. It has more to do with the person's personality than anything else.

I wouldn't want myself, friends or family getting seriously intoxicated on drugs - on their own.
It's a caring issue, not a moral one.

Yes, because you're more likely to try pot before you do something like cocaine. It's the "softer" drug.
It's weird though, not many people realise how much more harmful alcohol is than marijuana. There's never actually been a reported death directly caused by marijuana. Yet people die from alcohol overdose all the time. Hell, alcohol withdrawal can also be fatal.
Do you believe that consuming alcohol is a "wrong" thing to do?
Are we still talking about drugs?
Anyhow,
People drink alcohol at events, celebrations and such, and I'm fine with that, as long as it doesn't get over the limit, then it might get nasty.
Drugs aren't the same as drinking alcohol. Even small amount of drugs can get you addicted, and you don't want that to happen, do you?

Pot is a gateway drug because once people learn that being high feels great, they want it to be more intense and last longer. That's when they turn to cocaine, heroin, ect.
Marijuana isn't illegal everywhere. Alcohol was illegal within the last one hundred years. So will it be okay for peope to smoke if/when it becomes legalized/decriminalized in the states?
I prefer alcohol over drugs, but I'm down with whatever. The only thing that bothers me is when someone's drug usage puts someone else at harm (like parents).

This thread is giving me life. Give it a few years, kids.
