Simple thing to do is ignore it and do what you want to do man, it's your life. If people want to snort MDMA until there eyes look like they are going to pop out of there head then let them slowly ruin there lives by shooting up heroin.

Then again not everybody that has a cheeky line becomes a smack head.

I don't care if you do cocaine, or what ever drug of choice you have, like you said, it's your life. Where my issue comes into play is when it has a bearing on the peoples lives who don't do that. For example, you (just as an example) can't afford to buy your next fix of crack. What do you do? Break into my house, rob the taxi driver or the gas station. That is my problem. Also what happens when the drug dealer takes your word when you can't pay for it but you'll pay for it next time and you don't? Open fire and maybe an innocent bi-standard gets shot. Not only that, but the garbage left in the "tweek zones". If I go to say a park, right behind the tree line is littered with needles where people shoot up. I live fairly close to Seattle so as you can imagine, there are a lot of drugs lol. That is my problem, it's not when you decide you do the drug, it's the recourse of taking that drug.

Honestly there's a difference between kids in school that do it to impress and do it because others do but there is also another group of people who do it to have fun or chill. I don't have a problem with party's and people who do it to chill but once it gets to the point to just impress and show off its dumb. That's just my opinion and anybody who does anything other then drink and smoke are going way to far. Stay away from the hardcore stuff, it will ruin your life real quick same for drinking to much.

I don't touch anything above Marijuana, I totally understand your opinion but in England especially where I'm from people don't really get shot, maybe stabbed but yeah I was just saying that not everyone is going to turn up like that but I do agree on the needles that is disgusting man I can't believe people inject that crap honestly man and it's messed up that people feel the need to pressure others I don't understand it but I don't consider drugs to be 'cool' but I do believe that people use them for the experience at times and when people think they are cool by doing drugs I'm just shocked, why is it a cool thing to do?

Oh and I've dealt with allot of Heroin addicts and it's one of the worst things to see someone go through and I know allot about people getting there lives completely wrecked from the Cocaine use but then again I've seen people try it and have fun and they just get on with there lives, they have tried it and that's it.

I think it's good to try different things (IF YOU WANT TO) but do extensive research and know what you are getting into, again it's your life.

twistviperv2 wrote People that do this, I hate you with a passion. Some of my good friends from high school even do this (They follow the superior one of the group) which is why I barely hang out with those guys anymore. It's like this idea that if your friends are doing it then you've got to smoke cigarettes and weed and drink alcohol 24/7 and apparently if you don't do this and you're straight edge then you're a p**sy. I've never gone near any drug that isn't prescribed by a doctor (pain killers etc) in my life and I won't.


Thoughts?

It's different for everyone. I had somewhat of the same mentality. A lot of my friends were stoners, but I didn't care what other people did. I said i wouldn't do any of that stuff either, until i started goings to parties last year. It was my decision to try smoking (marijuana) and drink. I didn't like marijuana but i do enjoy alcohol. I only drink at parties and never smoke but no one gives me shit for it, before or after I tried stuff.

They're not really you're friends if they treat you differently for not doing something. But you shouldn't hate on them either unless they're wasting their life away. you should put yourself around people that have the same outlook as you.

I got no problem with pot heads, they are generally more mellow and fun to hang around with lol. They are like people who get drunk but right before they get violent. I work with a lot of people who do pot and I'm not going to say it helps their job performance but if they think it does and it does not appear to hurt it, go ahead.

This is an argument/topic that is brought up a lot in schools, and I kinda do agree with you. Pure pressure is a big issue, especially getting in to highschool. I see a lot of people not only follow what a "group" does, but some of their closest friends can cause an impact on what they do too.

There are some pros with experimenting with things at a young age such as alcohol, marijuana, etc. Many people say they're not going to do anything in their lives, which is good for them, but end up going somewhere like college and not knowing their limits. I've seen a lot of people ruin their lives cause they've waited so long to do something, and then they go out of control with it.

This issue has been persistent over the years, and there's really know way to fix it, no matter how many programs and guides we have.

TTGTeezla wrote Agree. People doing drugs and drinking (mostly underage) to impress their friends don't deserve ANY friends.

It's all fun and games to them, yet the concequences drugs and alcahol can have on some
especially under the age of 18 can be serious. Like whats the point?

***** your life must be boring af
