[/quote] The younger the person, the more likely they'll be to abuse anything. While some drugs and alchohol aren't as bad as others, when abused, any drug can cause bad effects.

Whirr Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 [quote name='Dark' timestamp='1297824986' post='5011563'] The fact still holds that drugs are inherently bad for you, despite the comment that one must be mentally ill to take drugs is a [b]complete[/b] overstatement. [/quote] "Drugs" are not inherently bad for you."Drugs" is an incredibly broad term. Crystal Meth, which is a drug, is inherently bad for you. Aspirin, which is also a drug, is [i]not[/i] inherently bad for you if taken [i]in moderation[/i] and [i]as directed[/i]. Using a term like "drugs" is misleading in this particular discussion because of the association of the word with [i]heavy[/i] drugs. Marijuana is not inherently bad for you as there are many medicinal uses for it. What I find hilarious about this is that the same people who are anti-marijuana are usually also pro-guns, i.e.: a plant that makes you giggly is bad, tools designed to kill or injure other complex organisms are A-Okay. [quote name='Hakurei Reimu' timestamp='1297981125' post='5015041'] I think you are all totally missing the point. Anyone under the age of maturity shouldn't use drugs for recreational use. [/quote] And what age of maturity is this, exactly? Scientifically, the brain isn't fully developed until somewhere in the ballpark of age 25. Any age restrictions would be totally symbolic, used more for something like a milestone. If someone can legally pilot a large machine capable of killing people on impact at age 16, why shouldn't they be aloud to smoke a blunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone under the age of maturity shouldn't use drugs for recreational use. [/quote] If it's going to be a retarded age like "21 for alcohol", I'd rather there be no age limit whatsoever. If we were to make marijuana legal and put the age limit at 21 or higher, the same argument exists. If I get burn my ass and kill myself FIGHTING FOR THIS COUNTRY IN THE ARMY, why I am not allowed to smoke a blunt and drink a beer? And I know "drugs" are very broad, and I should have been more specific, but it was somewhat implied that I was talking about non-pharmaceutical drugs. Also, I am pro-marijuana and anti-guns. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 [quote name='Revolver Amethyst' timestamp='1297820692' post='5011445'] This post is intensely ironic once you realize who made it. [/quote] No substance to the insult. Fool. [quote name='Bahamut ZERO' timestamp='1297848924' post='5011929'] Care to enlighten us on the positives of taking recreational drugs... I suspect this will be short... [/quote] The mind has capabilities beyond your grounded scope on reality. Lucid dreamers understand this, myself being one of them. In lucid dreaming we tap into the mind at one of its most active times, and while logic is no longer an acting force. We explore the caverns of what we can accomplish and discover that we are able do things we couldn't even conceive before. Drug trips have resulted in some amazing explorations of the mind as well. It works in many ways like a lucid dream, though it acts as a less frightening case of sleep paralysis without the paralysis. In deep meditation, internal reflection, relaxation, inspiration, and other such activities drugs can help. It has created many fine works of literature and "trippy" songs. It loosens your grip on reality, and while doing that allows your inner self to come through unrestrained. I don't think smoking weed or taking shots for the sake of totally tripping out is the brightest thing, and that's when drugs can be extremely adverse. Even then they provide enjoyment comparable to alcohol. Only one is taught to be a dangerous joy while the other is taught to be an absolute evil. EDIT: I see one of your later posts patronizes the idea of an "escape into a fantasy world". You're the pathetic one, being unable to connect to the needs of other people. In a world as wonderful but f***ed up as this one, surrealist escapism is a great relaxation tool for people. We don't all have perfect lives, but that doesn't make it pathetic when we go through different ways of coping. Don't be an arrogant prick.
