Have you ever had any experiences with recreational drugs? You don’t understand how they could enrich one’s life.

Its weird that it makes no sense to you. Like you are in some state of confusion. Demonizing is a strong word. Once again its just a no brainer. I can have fun and hurt my body or have fun and not hurt it. Why do you choose the option that hurts it.

Benefit/risk. The risk can be brought down to make the benefit worth the risk. Again, you have no experience, so you do not know. Little damage is done to your body. Drugs are a spice of life, they are not needed, but make it much more interesting.

Listen you seem a little upset. You might wanna put down the bong and dbol for a little and not look at the computer. It seems that my forcing you to confront ur rationalization is getting to you. Just enjoy ur buzz

I don’t smoke and are you hinting at roid rage? And steroids are not in my age category. I have no problem changing my views if I am confronted with a good argument, but your arguments are just ignorant and annoying.

Ur entire argument here is predicated on the fact that I’ve never tried recreational drugs. This is an assumption you make, and nothing to which I have attested. Could your reading comprehension get worse. God I hope not.[/quote]

My reading comprehension leads me to believe that you have very little, if any, experiences with recreational drugs. Your posts seem to hint at it too. Would you like to clarify?

I prefer not to delve into specifics as I have friends who read the site. But I do have experience with most of the more common ones. Sure they were fun.

But I was young and quickly matured past the point of such juvenile indulgences. There are plenty of things that are just as fun and rewarding

Having sex
riding jet skis
eating very delicious food when you are starving
Helping out elderly ppl
seeing your child smile
surprising your wife with flowers
to name a few

all things that dont harm my body

I am glad this thread is alive again. Not to get into the middle of this shit storm, but doesn’t what you just said carry as much weight with it as naming specifics would?

I wouldn’t say just as fun. Drugs(mainly psychedelics) can be very fun and rewarding if used responsibly and most people grow out of them. I am not saying drugs are your only source for fun, but the occasional usage can be all you need to renew your outlook on life.

Simply labeling them as harmful, dangerous, and such terms can be very misleading. Sure they can be dangerous, but so can rockclimbing, so can eating sushi, so can a fast car ride, yet we still indulge ourselves in these activities.

They can cause drastic life changes that benefit a person. With a sitter, they can very often leave an afterglow that makes that person a better human being. They can make life more fun, more experiences more memorable, and they can show us a side of ourselves we didn’t know we had.

Yes and no; they will know he has done drugs in the past and accept that, but if he named something like heroin, most of those people would avoid him like the plague.

Drugs have bad rep because of the few that give it that. Most people believe that heroin is super addictive, the most addictive. But that is not true.

1994 study based on data from the National Comorbidity Survey estimated that 23 percent of heroin users ever experience substance dependence.

The same study found that 32 percent of tobacco users had experienced substance dependence. Figures like that one are the basis for the claim that nicotine is “more addictive than heroin.”

Note: As Yo Momma said: Heroin withdraws MUCH worse. While withdraws are not life threatening, you might wish you were dead. A good reason not to get addicted.

We are all entitled to our own opinion. But just for the record, I am not high and I do not smoke. Just have fun trying to become the next Ronald Regan on the issue of drugs. Cause remember, we can’t let our white woman be raped by cocaine crazed negros. Or those marijuana crazed ones either.

Plz drugs were not made illegal for racial reasons though it is what many would have you believe. They are bad for you period. And there is really no reason whatsoever that they should be legalized. End Game. Check Mate. You lose.

Just new members or all members? Sorry you didn’t get the respect you were hoping for over an internet forum. You must be so surprised

Yeah, that was the feeling I was getting a while back. Most of his previous posts in his profile don’t hold much…substance.

Yes it did. Really…no reason? How about having the right to choose what I want to do with my body. Also, you have read NOTHING, I mean NOTHING in this thread before you posted.

Therefore I will not respond to your trolling anymore. You grammar and word choices makes me think your schooling didn’t go past the 8th grade.

The Racial History of U.S. Drug Prohibition
Compiled by Drug Policy Alliance. August 2001.

[T]he drug laws can be used selectively and sporadically, against the poor or the otherwise undesirable, which is by no means incidental. Their enforcement is a tremendous political and economic weapon against what we call the Third World -- James Baldwin

In the United States and many other nations, it is no longer possible to talk honestly and frankly about racism without talking about the “war on drugs.” Few US policies have had as disproportionate effect on Blacks, Latinos and other racial minorities than the “war on drugs”.

Every policy of the “war on drugs” - from racial profiling to arrests to prosecutions to length of sentencing - is disproportionately carried out against minorities.

It should come as no surprise that the United States government has used the “war on drugs” to reinforce the country’s historically racist attitudes towards all minorities and especially Blacks and Latinos. From its very inception the “war on drugs” has been laden with racial overtones.

A century ago opiates and cocaine were freely available and used both medicinally and recreationally by people throughout the U.S. Scores of patent medicines, elixirs and liquid concoctions contained substantial amounts of opium or cocaine.

Studies published between 1871 and 1922 paint a striking portrait of the typical opiate or cocaine addict in the early 20th century: a middle aged, rural, middle- or upper-class White woman.

(1) The peak of opiate dependence in the United States occurred near the turn of the century, when the number of addicts was estimated at close to 250,000 in a population of 76 million – a rate never again equaled.

(2)Yet despite the relative prevalence of addiction, the prevailing attitude at the time was that drug addiction was a health problem, best treated by physicians and pharmacists.

However public attitudes about drug use began to change as perceptions about drug users shifted. Opposition to opium smoking grew as it was increasingly linked to Chinese immigrants in the western United States.

Strong anti-Chinese sentiment, exacerbated by a growing fear of competitive cheap Chinese labor, led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which forbade further immigration. Reports that the upper classes were taking up opium smoking in New York and other cities led to heightened alarm.

Fears that respectable white women were being seduced into a life of prostitution and debauchery in opium dens were inflamed by vivid reports. In 1902, the Committee on the Acquirement of the Drug Habit of the American Pharmaceutical Association declared: “If the ‘Chinaman’ cannot get along without his ‘dope,’ we can get along without him.”

In 1909 the United States’ international “war on drugs” began when California prohibited the importation of smoking opium.

In 1910 Dr. Hamilton Wright, considered by some the father of U.S. anti-narcotics laws, reported that U.S. contractors were giving cocaine to their Black employees to get more work out of them.

(3) A few years later, stories began to proliferate about “cocaine-crazed Negroes” in the South who had run amuck.

The New York Times published a story that alleged “most of the attacks upon white women of the South are the direct result of the ‘cocaine-crazed’ Negro brain.” The story asserted that “Negro cocaine fiends are now a known Southern menace.”

Some southern police departments switched to .38 caliber revolvers, because they thought cocaine made Blacks impervious to .32 caliber bullets.

(4) These stories were in part motivated by a desire to persuade Southern members of Congress to support the proposed Harrison Narcotics Act, which would greatly expand the federal government’s power to control drugs.

(5) This lie was also necessary since, even though drugs were widely used in America, very little crime was associated with the users.

(6)When marijuana was popularized in the 20s and 30s in the American jazz scene, Blacks and Whites sat down as equals and smoked together. The racist anti-marijuana propaganda of the time used this crumbling of racial barriers as an example of the degradation caused by marijuana.

Harry Anslinger, head of the newly formed federal narcotics division, warned middle-class leaders about Blacks and Whites dancing together in “teahouses,” using blatant prejudice to sell prohibition.

(7) In 1931 New Orleans officials attributed many of the region’s crimes to marijuana, which they believed was also a dangerous sexual stimulant.

During the Great Depression, the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act came into law, again using racism as its chief selling point. The same Mexicans who were vying with out of work Americans for the few agricultural jobs available, it was said, engaged in marijuana induced violence against Americans.

In the early 1960s nonconformist college students and ‘hippies’ again popularized marijuana. The growing ‘counterculture’ that emerged at that time questioned the value of war, the sanity of U.S. foreign policy and governmental authority in general.

This period coincided with growing urban unrest by Blacks impatient with the slow pace of implementation of civil rights legislation. The reinvigorated “war on drugs” declared by President Richard Nixon targeted and effectively criminalized both groups of his staunchest critics – youth and urban minorities.

Black, Latino, Native American, and many Asian youth were portrayed as purveyors of violence, traffickers of drugs and a danger to society. Criminality and deviance was racialized. Surveillance was focused on communities of color, immigrants, the unemployed, the undereducated, and the homeless, who continue to be the principal targets of law enforcement efforts to fight the “war on drugs”.

The inherent racism in America’s enforcement of its drug policy has reached crisis proportions. Failure to act will result in the continued decimation of Black, Latino and other communities of color throughout the United States. There must be a sincere effort from the US government to end the legacy of race discrimination and xenophobia of the “war on drugs.”
