what are your thought on drugs?

I love how most of you people respond to this question by repeating the same line that's been fed to you by DARE and the television.  \n\nThe only reason most narcotics are illegal is because the government saw certain groups of people (who they considered undesirable) using them and criminalized them in an effort to discourage those people.  \n\nCase in point: after the construction of the railroad in the Southwest, the government had more Mexicans in the country than they were willing to put up with.  So, after learning that those Mexicans liked to smoke marijuana, the government criminalized it and arrested and deported all Mexicans caught smoking it.\n\nCase in point:  In 1914 cocaine was criminalized after outragious claims were made that most crimes against white women in the South were made by the "cocaine-crazed Negro brain."  This played out well in the South where prejudice against blacks was still very strong.\n\nAs a side note: Prescription drugs are just as illegal as narcotics when used by a person other than the one they've been prescribed to.

Mental:  drugs can cause a delayed reaction in life, thinking, and cause loss of memory.  It can creat stutters and enhance other mental problems that may have been there prior to the start of using. Deppression and insomnia.\n\nEmotional:  Drugs can create a sense of well being while the person is high/using.  However when coming down or withdrawing from the use they can be very erritable, sensitive, sleepy, and depressed.

because there are too many things going through thier head at once.  Drugs make you stop thinking, escape problems, but they are always waiting when you return so you have to do more.

Because they think they do!!!....they prob have an opinion on most other things too.\n\nYou cannot make a serious comment (for or against) about drugs unless you have personal experience or have lived with the consequence of the experience of others.  We can all read and find out information but that does not give us the right to act like we know it all.

drugs are seriously bad for you\none bad reaction to a pill can kill\none pint will hardly have any affect( in most people lol )\n\ndrug users create a huge problem for society. a high percentage of criminals are involed in drugs in one way shape or form.\nmental health is a huge problem for most hard core drug users.\ni not saying alcohol - drink are faultless, not at all in fact our streets are not safe after closing time most nights\n\nhowever rather than throwing our hands up and saying we give up we cant cope or deal with you. we must continue to strive to help those affected by drugs, users and their friends/families.\n\nwe must not create a free for all society where anything goes.\nwe are adults and have choice but some people make the wrong choices.\nlaws protect people from criminals and by legalising drugs you are in a round about way legalisiing the actions of people in an altered state( much the same as drunk behaviour, sorry gov i didnt mean to run her over i was drunk etc)\n\nmaking aware the facts of drugs is a great thing to do but what good does it do to a 15 yr old who dies due to bad reaction...many known cases.\n\ndrink and smoke are also addictive but the effects are medically researched and reported. they also do not not need criminal acts to fund.\nthe effect of drugs on mental health are totally incomplete and research is already showing links to schizoprenia and other mental illness'\n\nlets hope that progress is made and we can combat all of societys ilness'\nbut meanwhile \n\ndont give up trying

For some its risky because it can cause mental health problems for others it can help with illness .Its a tricky one because you will always get people who take it too much .In moderation I think its OK but like anything else you have to get the balance right.Maybe it should be on prescription for people who use to ease symptoms of illness and for those who use it recreationally have legal venues where use is moderated/sensibly controlled,without criminalisation.That would get rid of some of the dodgy element.But I believe the drug laws need a complete overhaul anyway and sooner rather than later.

Medicine as a treatment:\nI believe a medicine to be something that would cure an ailment, a remedy to treat abnormalities of body defects and functions, an agent that will relieve sufferings and pain, a supplement that will lead to a happy and healthful life, and most of all I believe that a medicine should be something that gives no harm to someone who takes it. I believe that  medicine should be made with the main motive of helping the well being of potential takers; business purposes should not be the main concern of its production.☺

Drugs are substances that cause a physical or mental change in your body. If they are used therapeutically, they get classed as pharmaceuticals.

I have my own personal nightmares due to drug use in my teens and 20's...i thought i was using socially and had everything under control...actually the drugs were controlling me and influenced my decisions, attitudes and behaviors....in the end, I was so low...I had done a lot of things I never thought I would do, stayed out longer than I had wanted to stay and was around a lot of people I didn't even like...TODAY, I am HIGH ON LIFE...I have accepted my mistakes and changed the way I look at life...I stay away from people, places and things that remind me of where I used to be...I have a relationship with God today, other people who encourage me and support me...people who call me on my stuff cause I always want things my way...but today it's about doing the right thing for the right reasons...I know today that no matter what, I don't have to use drugs ...Using is not the solution.
