I really don't have an opinion, but one of my friends says "good if used correctly, bad if abused." Something like that

Drugs are bad mn'ok.

And you shouldn't do drugs, mn'ok

Because if you do drugs, mn'ok, then you're bad... mn'ok.

Because drugs are bad, mn'ok.

So don't be bad.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. :o

Drugs good or bad? I don't know. Never tried drugs.
But I don't think anyone should use drugs. Drinking beer is much better! :boogie:

As a serious answer to the question, I'd have to say that some of the illegal drugs are probably less harmful than some of the legal ones and that the law doesn't necessarily point the way to right and wrong on this issue - but disobeying the law is always a risky business regardless of whether you agree with it or not.

I'd advise anyone to steer clear of all of the highly addictive drugs and, if you're going to dabble in any of the rest, do them in strict moderation & make sure you stay safe, in mind & body, and - for the sake of your future - ensure you don't get caught. A drugs conviction is a blight on the rest of your life, many doors will be closed to you.

Well yes, as your medications are also drugs. Mixing drugs with drugs can be quite dangerous. Good decision.

Very sensible advice, Andy. Many young people do not seem to understand that a drug conviction can ruin their employment opportunities and career choices for the rest of their lives. It can also affect where one can live. A drug offense gets you kicked out of the apartment complex where I live, as does a drug conviction.

I have some health problems that require prescription medications. I'm told not to do illegal drugs with them or to drink alcohol. I do imbibe from time to time in alcohol, but stay away from the drugs.

Alcohol has probably caused more deaths than any other drug on this planet - it's just accepted because it's legal & taxed.

In terms of impact on society, alcohol is probably one of the worst culprits when it comes to destroying people's lives.

Still, you can't beat a nice pint from time to time. ^_^

Me too, Barb. I suffer from migraines, & have tried pretty much everything on the planet. Not much works, plus there are times when a combination of things work, & won't the next. I think that use them when you need them, but don't go overboard. I try a lot of non-drug remedies before I reach for the medication.

I think Adilah's point was that the term "drugs" is also used to describe life saving medications and not just illicit recreational substances.

My doctor had about given up on me regarding my migraines...he's had me on EVERYTHING and nothing worked...my migraines are ermm...female related..and FINALLY...crossing my fingers...he 'may' have hit upon a winner...it's called Cymbalta...not sure of spelling but this is a miracle for me...it's used to treat MANY different ailments....depression....pain...and he rattled off a ton of stuff to me...but SO FAR...I've been taking it for TWO months and have not had ONE migraine...you have no Idea how happy this makes me...mine where sometimes dibilating... :cry: Ask about it...I think you can't have any liver or kidney problems to take this medication..

As for Illeagle drugs...STREET DRUGS...AIMEE...stay FAR away from that CRAP ... it can DESTROY lives... I have a cousin living in a half way house...because he cant kick his coke habit....it's so sad...he had a beautiful family...everything...and he's LOST it all...

Recreational drugs and too much alcohol....BAD!!! But EVERYONE knows that...RIGHT??? :lol:

sorry but on this one you are totally WRONG

antibiotics are admittedly one of the most overprescribed medications in the world, thus making their ability to work less and less effective.............but they are in and of themselves, as a class of medications, one of the most important medications that exist today
along with pain medications and heart medications, antibiotics save more lives single handedly probably than all others (ok there is a tough argument on pain meds saving lives, in fact i suppose the are more likely to only allow you to desire to live...... ask anyone with chronic or acute pain injuries)

so sorry, on this one you are wrong


and yes tylenol or paracetemol or acetominophen or what ever your country calls it, can damage your liver, especially if taken in high doses or with or after a night of heavy drinking

remember everything put in your body gets "deliver to liver" as this is the detox center of your body, but an overdose on tylenol = liver failure (thats how it kills ya, and liver failure is an UGLY death)

I'm in full agreement - antibiotics are fantastic things.

Besides, Audrey, correct me if I'm wrong, but the 'Flu is a virus and antibiotics are entirely the wrong things to be prescribed for it. The only reason antibiotics should be prescribed is to clear up an associated chest/throat/ear infection, but the 'Flu virus itself isn't affected by them in any way.

That's my understanding, anyway.

you are corect but there is a pill now that one can take with the onset of the flu - here in the states it is called Tamiflu- it is supposed to make the course of the flu much lighter and quicker, but you have to take it within 24-48 hours of the onset of symptoms, the sooner the better

BUSTED

TRURO - A nine-month drug investigation culminated in early morning raids yesterday that saw 18 members of “an organized crime group” facing multiple charges.

The raids began simultaneously around 6 a.m. as police swooped in on 10 residences in Colchester County and one in Truro. In the end, more than 50 drug possession/trafficking and weapons charges were laid and police seized eight homes, a total of 32 vehicles including late model trucks, cars, classic autos, motor bikes, ATVs and snowmobiles.

“We’ve dealt with them in the past,” Truro Deputy Police Chief Dave MacNeil said, of the accused during a late-afternoon press conference. “They are not new to us. We’ve been taking steps to deal with these people. We were aware of them prior to this investigation.”

When asked by reporters if the operation involved the Hells Angels bike gang, RCMP Chief Superintendent Tom Bennett reserved comment.

“I can’t say if there’s a direct connection to Hell’s Angels at this time,” he said. “... we have arrested 18 members of an organized crime group who is responsible for the sale and distribution of illegal drugs and cigarettes in Colchester County.”

A residence in Noel, Hants County was also involved in the operation, which included members of the RCMP’s “H” Division Drug Enforcement unit, with co-ordination out of the Northeast Nova Truro Drug office.

Some of the charges date back to March when police allege the crime members, which included cousins and a husband and wife team, sold drugs to undercover officers.

In addition to removing drugs from the streets, Bennett said, the arrests and seizures affect the crime group’s financing operations.

Police said they will be attempting to permanently seize the homes, vehicles and other confiscated property items under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Some affected residences were equipped with security monitoring cameras and two shotguns, an undisclosed “volume” of drugs including marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, ecstasy, cannabis resin, hash and illegal cigarettes were also confiscated.

Bank accounts were also seized and police said more charges are pending in the ongoing investigation.

At one point during the raids, police set up perimeter roadblocks after one of the suspects fled a residence. The individual was ultimately discovered hiding in the trunk of a vehicle pulled over at the roadblock.

Following the initial raids, police used drug-sniffing dogs and metal detectors in their search of the properties.

Despite the size of the operation, however, MacNeil stated it was planned so that the public “... was at no time in danger.”

As for the issue on hand (drugs, mn'okay), I take the approach that a presidental canidate Dennis Kuchinch metions in his campgain, that drugs (to me hard drugs. Pot's nothing) need to be treated as a medical issue and not a crime. So with that, smoke all the pot ya want, your choice and stay away from those those wicked evil hard drugs. Seriously, you do not want to even mess with that cocaine. Nasty stuff.

in one sense i want to defend him cuz he is obviously extremely sick and addicted


on the other hand, i would want to beat him to a pulp as well, not only is it disrespectful for the funeral and his memory, it is selfish and cruel to do that to you family


so................

beat him to a pulp then put him somewhere so he can get help and never do something like this again

If he keeps using, he will Nick. Everyone at your GrandDad's funeral knows that he wasn't sober, so as I advised you earlier, just ignore him, & stay away from him. Hitting him may make you feel better for a short while, but eventually, you'll feel crappy for doing it. Only because you're a decent person, & you have feelings.
