Without a doubt! Not only
can it be dangerous, but it always is! Every single time, without exception, even in a hospital setting. More kids get line infections from the hospitals than from doing IV drugs at home. Most of the time, it's not for fun, but for need.
Now, someone may not die from using meth or coke. But certainly over a long period of usage, health problems may occur. If your main motivator in life is that you are gonna die anyways so who the fuck cares, then sure! Why the fuck not right?
Cause there are those of us out here who feel the same sort of pain and who have found better answers, that's why.
But I have seen how sick people can get from meth and coke. And Im not just talking about the mental state eiter. Hell my step dad got Hep C form ONE TIME using meth! One needle injection.
Darlin, you are a young woman. And I came to the same conclusion when I was a young mother who had been cut off from all of my heritage and do given much less hard info. So... where's the benefit in keeping all of the info from our children? None that I can see.
Anyone seen what a person going through hep c treatment (interfuron) looks like? How nausious and feverish and sick they get? Its like smoking.
Whoever you know who's goint through hep c, it beat's hell out of their liver. Tell them to look into milk thistle as an adjunct to whatever they're doing. It may effect kidney function, and there is research on that, so tell them to check. But, if there is no good reason not to, then milk thistle is a good remedy for having abused one's liver.
I smoked ALOT. Like 2 packs a day for a while and regularly a pack or two. Now, Im not dead. I quit so my chances from dying from cancer are slimmer, but I still can.
Yeay! :nworthy: I'm 40 and still hooked. You're way ahead of the game! I wish I had stayed quit when I was your age.
But Meth and coke are super addictive drugs! I mean my husband did meth alot and just quit.
No! Not addictive! Anybody who wants to quit the stimulants can quite easily! You only suffer the consequences of lack of the drug; sort of an exagerated versuion of what you sought to cure. Addiction is much harder. Ask any opiate addictd.
If you are the type who gets addicted to stuff easily maybe its no the drug for you. And your right antigen. Kids will explore, regardless of what you say. Education is more important than sheltering them.
I'm not sure there's a type who get's addicted or a type who does not. I think it all has to do w/ how you believe. Freak that he was (RIP), I think Frank Zappa was onto something: "A drug is neither moral nor immoral - it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole." --Frank Zappa
If your favorite drug doesn't make you an asshole, then where's the problem? If it does, then you sure don't need an anon voice on a web forum to tell you so, you know it already.
Why do you think so many kids get pregant and have diseases? They only teach abstinence so kids don't protect themselves because all the adults dont want to believe a horomonally enraged teen will not have sex. If the parents nutted up and were straight with their kids aobut sex, drugs, ect, the kids might actually listen. Understanding the risks and benifits can help a person make a clear and consice decision about their choices.
No kidding! :nworthy: Whenever the old farts talk turkey; for real, all the cards face up on the table; with the newly minted next generation, you/we always make better of it than we were able to. It's only when we withhold pertinent info. that we get into trouble.
I like to smoke pot and I certainly feel that there is not a damn thing wrong with that. It is a great drug. There are many great drugs out there. Just remember the risks, use moderation, and all should be well. And if you cant and the risks are too great, just dont do it. Simple as that!"
I'm gonna say g'night and have happy dreams beliefing that you've got things in hand at least as well as we ever did. :nworthy:
Government can do something for the people only in proportion as it can do something to the people
