Drug Abuse is a Bad Idea

Marijuana is a drug to be used, not abused. Just because Pot isn't addictive doesn't mean that you should get stoned every day. It doesn't mean that it's totally safe. It doesn't mean that you should go out and start smoking Pot. And just because it makes me more mentally effective under some circumstances doesn't mean that it's going to have the same effect on you. There are a lot of people who experiences the opposite effect and if your one of those, Pot isn't for you. Pot affects different people in different ways and if Pot is having a detrimental effect on you, you should not smoke it.

Drugs of all kinds have varying degrees of danger. You have to be mature and responsible when experimenting with any drug. You should never do a drug that you don't know what the effects are. And drugs should be used in moderation and under the right circumstances. You should never do any drug while driving a car, especially alcohol. If you are a teenager, one beer can make you wreck your car.

Many drugs out there are highly addictive. The most addictive drug that kills more people than any other drug is Tobacco. This drug is to be avoided at all costs. The addiction to Tobacco is much harder to break if you get hooked at a young age. Besides cancer and death, Tobacco will totally change your lifestyle. Your whole life will revolve around scheduling when and where you'll be able to smoke next.

LSD is not an addictive drug but it is very mind altering. It can be viewed as having similar characteristics as Pot by much more powerful. Mushrooms, Mescaline, and Peyote are also in the non-addictive psychedelic class of drugs. They are similar to the neurotransmitters in the brain and are more mind altering than any other drug. The experience can have a profound effect on you and should be used only with extreme caution.

Once you become addicted, you can't just quit. You become a slave to the drug. Your life revolves around getting it. This includes cigarettes.

Cocaine and Crack are extremely addictive. So is Methamphedamine. These drugs are very dangerous in that they are stimulants and require larger doses to produce the same effects. Heroine and Morphine are opiates and are also very addictive. Valium and Alcohol are depressants and are also addictive. Addiction to depressants take a lot longer that addiction to stimulants and opiates. Cocaine and Heroine can hook you from the first dose. Even coffee is addictive. I've had to break that habit a few times myself.

I personally avoid all addictive drugs except Alcohol. I like to drink some Beer and Wine, but I don't like to get drunk. Other people have a different reaction to Alcohol than I do and enjoy getting drunk. Those who enjoy it are more likely to become alcoholic than those who don't. Addiction makes you a slave to the drug and controls your life. I never met an addict that was glad they got addicted. If the people who are hooked wish they weren't, what would you want to start?

Teens usually have a stronger tendency to follow the crowd than adults do. You may find yourself in a situation where everyone else is doing a drug that you don't want to do. You find yourself tempted because you don't want to go to the trouble to not go along. What you may not realize is that it's kool to say that you just don't want to do whatever everyone else is doing, and not make a big deal out of it. Usually the others will just say OK and it's no big deal. In other words, you really can "Just say No." If you don't want to do a drug, don't do it. If someone gets pushy about it, tell them to fuck off!

It's your Life! Be Responsible!

Most people will bullshit you about the truth about drugs. I have been honest about it here. In fact I'm being honest at great personal risk because there are a lot of people out there who would persecute me personally for saying the things I'm saying here. But what I'm saying is the truth and I'm standing by it. I'm sure that the government, particularly the moralists would like to classify this page as "harmful to minors" under their new censorship laws, would like to see me shut down and probably jailed. This page not harmful to minors, it's helpful to minors. Telling minors lies about drugs is harmful to minors.

What I want to make clear to you who read this is that people make choices in their lives that affect who they are and who they will become. If you make the right choices you are more likely to have a better life than if you make the wrong choices. Although you can make all the right choices and still be killed in a car accident because someone else ran a red light. But if you are smart about what you do then the odds are in your favor.
