First of all most of the substances that are widely believed to kill brain cells do not. They will however alter the chemistry of the brain. This is not to say that it's good to do these things. It is mostly due to the anti drug histeria that began in the early 20th century. Most drugs were used as medicine in the early days. It's when drug abuse occurs that it can be of such a detriment. You can do very real damage to your brain with some of the most widely used drugs available today, alcohol among them. But it is the inhalants that do the damage the fastest. They impart chemical compounds into the bloodstream instead of Oxygen. Thus the brain is robbed of its most vital element. Brain cells then die by the millions. The notion that you become brain damaged by using marijuana or opiates is a bit misleading. The balance of normal brain chemicals is altered, maybe forever, but they are still not killing brain cells. Cocaine is another drug commonly used. It effects the brain chemistry also, but is more damaging to the heart. It kills heart cells on contact in laboratory experiments. It may also be harmful due to the powerful solvents it contains as a residue leftover from its manufacturing process. If you are going to use these substances you should at least inform yourself as to the damage you're doing to your body.

Drugs are wrong not because they are illegal or bad for you they are bad because it shows one you have no respect for yourself because you want to ruin your judgment and do stupid things, such and rape and drive yourself into a ditch killing your best friend, that will only hurt you in the end, and because they have no productive use drugs should be banned, TV can inform and other foods other than beans and rice are need in a good diet, cars are need to keep up with our life's and get places to learn other things like how to function in society. What if the entire world decide every weekend to get drunk and high, we would all decide it's just to hard to get up and go to work and easier to just to stay high and drunk

To run away from our own problems. To many of my friends, it is just a way to manage with their meaningless lives. Does it work? Not really, as soon as it wears off - back to reality.\n\nAt the same time I don't think soft drugs are any worse then drinking, gambling or porn-addiction. These are all to fill out something (in my opinion Someone) that we lack.

Yes it is true.\n\nBefore there were laws against drugs, drug users were not criminals

If it was just true marijuana by itself maybe it wouldn't be as bad as alcohol.  But now it's mixed with all the other stuff and then it's just a introduction to the true brain rot that's out there.  If people want to be human vegetables for the rest of their life take dope.  If you want to be healthy mentally and physically don't do drugs, period.  Good question.

It has been know to yes, any excessive amount of drugs can. It is highly unlikely, but my girlfriend got afew from caffeine. They were dormate, and did not do any damage, and actually wound up going away as she weened herself off of caffeine.

MOST DRUGS CAN KILL YOU. I HAVE KNOWN OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE ECSTASY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME AND DIED. I HAVE ALSO KNOWN PEOPLE TO DO CRACK /COCAINE WHICH CAN CAUSE HEART ATTACKS, SEZIURES, STROKES, RESPITORY OR BRAIN ANUERISMS. ICE/CRYSTAL METH HAS MORE OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT ON THE BRAIN. ALL DRUGS ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR FRIENDS TELL YOU. HERE ARE SOME WEB SITES BELOW THAT CAN GIVE YOU A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EFFECTS. REMEMBER THAT TAKING ANY TYPE OF ILLEGAL DRUG IS A GAMBLE BOTH LEGAL AND HEALTH.

well its hard to say which are the most dangerous because they are all really bad often in different ways, however Meth is definitley the worst out of all of those then probably Heroin and Cocaine-not nessarily because they are woorse for you but more because they are a drug someone uses on a more consistant basis Ecstasy can often be woorse considering it can put holes in your brain, but typically it is not used on a daily basis where as someone who is addicted to cocain or heroin uses daily or numerous times a day.

Those are common side effects.Reduce the amount and it won't affect you so badly.Use only if necessary,they are a narcotic and therefore very habit forming.

Yes, only the ones wich arent bad for me. And only every once in a blue moon. But theres nothing wrong with a little mushroom or peyote, despite what they might have you believe. Speed and other uppers are terrible stuff, I would strongly advise against it. And pot is just in the same group as alchohol with me, only every once in a while. Its killed far less people than alchohol, even far less than asperin. People are just cattle sometimes, follow the propaganda and not thinking for themselves. Thats the only reason good drugs get a bad rap. I will say some people shouldnt do certain drugs though, not everyone knows how to handle themelves. But at the same time those people shouldnt do alot of other perfectly legal things either, like driving a car or having children. Oh well I guess, I mind my own business with it and dont harm a single soul.
