With Google anyone can seem like a genius.

Even a braindead 24-year-old homo with nothing better to do than whine about things on a forum dedicated to a free game.

After that post I'm 88% sure Tone is actually Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Or Beakman from Beakman's World.

Peej, I wanna grow up to be just like you.

what do you all think of drug education? my experience with it sucked. in my health class they basically said that you are GOING to get addicted to any drug you try, and they also exagerrated the negative effects. it was very misinformative. i guess the problem is that if kids actually know that smoking pot once in a while is not bad for you, they will do it without second thought. while this is brainwash, i guess it can be considered a good thing because people DO get into trouble with overusing drugs, even pot.

i think the drug education involving alcohol and marijuana specifically suck in this country. if they told you, "if you drink and smoke pot, youll get out of shape and kind of lazy if you do it too much, and there are much better things to do so try to keep it under control" i think it would be more effective than the current scare tactics.

Here's my take. I drink, not regularly, I'm just not that into the bar scene, but you know if I'm at a bar or a party I'll be drinking. Just don't be stupid about it.

I've smoked weed a few times, but it's never something I wanted to do on a regular basis, I don't have any moral objections to it, but it does make you more lazy and it's an expensive habit if you're buying weed every week or so as a lot of my friends used to do. As for making you stupider, I'll definitely admit one of my friends who was smoking everyday definitely seemed to take a big drop in intelligence the last few years until recently he's stopped smoking. Maybe it was partly just from hanging around a bunch of retards who he was friends with so they could get him drugs but even all my friends who smoked weed regularly commented on his decline in intelligence, and it partly caused a couple of them to cut back.

I also did the... can't think of anything to do, it's 4:00 a.m., we're in the suburbs... let's go to the pornstore and get some whip-its. Did that once. Probably not the best idea.

As for harder drugs, stay away. My dad and his two brothers were all highly intelligent guys with good lives. But during the 70's my other uncle got into some hard drugs, LSD and I don't know what else, while visiting my grandparents who were living in Turkey at the time. Cost him basically his entire life. Completely destroyed his brain. It's a terrible shame. He now lives in my great grandmother's old house, which is basically a shack, with a bunch of stray cats. He hasn't worked a job in 30 years, and relies on his brothers and parents for support. He has hallucinations, thinks he talks with God, and can't remember basic things. And before he got involved with drugs he would have been in the upper 5% of the most intelligent people in the country. So yeah, I don't want to be lecturing you guys or anything, but just be careful. Alcohol and weed may be fun, but don't think you're invincible and end up throwing your life away looking for something bigger and better.

its called schizophrenia, a genetic condition

its called schizophrenia, a genetic condition

That can be triggered by heavy drug use

heh i like this post, this is a question i face most weeks to certain idiots who cant or wont open there mind because they are stuck up ass holes.

Now i like a drink with my mates down the pub but i dont like to go out dancing and drinking cos that aint me, instead i like playing sports and then going for a joint its social and if done right you can keep this addiction under control.

i believe that people have the right todo what makes them feel best, either your just a drinker or your a toker or both but i wouldnt have stuck up views about something that most people comment on yet havent got a clue.

but about being thicker from smoking, hmmm yea undoubtably there are pros and cons for drinking and toking e.g drinking you might get liver probs and toking does cause problems if you do it out of control and rely on it but its the same with drink.

but anyway my sister had a friend who worked in a hospital scanning department and he wanted to know the question what do drugs actually do to the brain.
so he went into work one day after having a joint and him an his mate there took a brain scan and found there were tiny holes in his brain from toking then a week later these were greatly reduced after stopping tking just after a week so as i say i think smoking is fine in smal quantities and dont get too addicted, i know that i could quit toking but i dont feel the need to or want because thats my substitute for drink, both as bad as each other.

but pure hatred go fuck your self you twat im sick of your posts you know shit all and i dont think ill go die because i use drugs i hope one day you'll be band from these forums but hey i wanna be a millionaire but that isnt gunna happen is it.

Not that I advocate drugs, and I am sorry that your family was impacted by illness, but the connection between the two is not absolute.
You are using a version of reverse logic. If you dad and his brothers all drank milk as young guys, using your logic would mean that milk lead them astray.

I am absolutely sure that drugs, including alcohol, has caused much heartbreak across the world. Humans all respond differently to different drugs in terms of tolerance, ease of addiction, and net effects. Many people should never even come close to using a drug, others can use them daily to improve their lives.

[Fair]

not just drugs tho, many shouldn't go near beer either!

[K2Grey]

It's a strong connection though, because Sleepy's relations getting screwed up followed shortly after they got into hard drugs, implying a cause effect relationship.

Not sure anyone can say that. Isn't it true that most 'connections' are made in our minds when a thing hits, but not when it misses? I mean, consider all the other variables that COULD have been at work in that simple situation. Mental, emotional and physical health, age, being away from home for the first time, culture, influence from friends, heck even love. Perhaps he has just been dumped and that is what drove him over the edge. Perhaps the fear of simply going out into the world and being a productive member of society was enough to freak him out.
But my point is, 'connections' are made in our minds when a thing hits, but not when it misses. That is why I was mentioning the reverse logic, you have to consider the problem from his uncle -> drug use, not drug use -> uncle.
But that is just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

but pure hatred go fuck your self you twat im sick of your posts you know shit all and i dont think ill go die because i use drugs i hope one day you'll be band from these forums but hey i wanna be a millionaire but that isnt gunna happen is it.

agreed :P .. also pure, gtfo tone, i know he annoyed you with the anti-cloaker stuff but he is a cool guy and makes interesting posts.

anyway, the first time i ever smoked i was very worried because it was right before finals and i was taught in health class that THC stays in your brain for a month after you smoke and has effects that make you not care as much and decreases attention span. well that was pretty much bs. i studied for finals harder than ever and got awesome grades.

Eph, I agree, it's possible there was no connection, but if this guy was one of those willing to try anyhting types, who knows what he got ahold of in Turkey.

I knew a guy that left Detroit because he said all we did was smoke pot every day and we were bad for him, so he went to live with his aunt and uncle in california, when I saw him again 2 years later he told us about his meth habbit. He's now on medication that he can never stop taking or he'll get seizures and maybe die. He told us all kinds of crazy shit how he just disapeared for weeks at a time and literally lost his car. He said he was working in a restaraunt and knew what people were going to order before they ordered it (and he still believes that this is true, that he could sometimes see the future).

I also knew a girl that got messed up from acid, it was like she never came down. she was in an institution for a few months, I think she eventually got it together. There were 5 other people that took the same acid and they were fine. It was her first time, I think she just freaked out.

I drink on weekends, and occasionally toke, but not much anymore. I tried some things when I was younger, liked most of it, but as I get older, I just have less interest. I think if everyone was educated and had the understanding of what drugs can do to you, a lot less people would get so messed up on them.

and I agree with Nick, weed at a party makes it less party-ish. I never thought of weed as a party drug, it's more like a listening to music or playing video games drug.

modest mouse - styrofoam boots is a great song about meth.. i hear it is crazy stuff, you dont sleep for days and lose track of whether it is day or night.
