How many of you do drugs? - You should be all shot

reminds me of the time my dog took 6 E tablets and I couldn't afford to take him to the vet, so I had to beat him to death with his toy dog bone to put him out of his misery.

What Is Ketamine?

Ketamine, or ketamine hydrochloride, is a non-barbiturate, rapid-acting disassociative anesthetic used on both animals and humans; it also has been used in human medicine for pediatric burn cases and dentistry, and in experimental psychotherapy.

But yeah, it's a great drug!

Of all the drugs I've done and experiences I've had on them, my one "time" spent in a K-hole was the single most weird thing I can recall: that's coming from someone whos run the gamut of LSD, psilocybin mushies, speed and all the other crap.
Meself and a busload of mates were sold K and told it was E: the sheer hilarity of 40-odd people stood in the middle of a club not fit to stand, let alone drink, dance or much else had to be seen to be believed.
I've never really went looking for it again. Still recall it enough to know that it anaesthatises the parts most beers don't reach

So if you all have menial little lives and feel the need for drugs to "enjoy" your weekend fine by me. I have a point of view obviously that a lot of people do not share and I will stand by what I said.

Yet you and many like you have the need for alcohol to "enjoy" your w/e, while sitting back in your high stool and criticising people who decide to alter their brain chemistry in different ways? Like I say, sheer hypocrisy: your choice. You're entitled to your point of view, but you're not entitled to enforce it on those who have a differing one than you, and you're certainly not entitled to shoot them...

Have a look there, its all you yuppies with your attitude like you have that ruins society so much. Leeah Betts probably had the same opinion as most of you lot, she ended up paying for that with her life, maybe if it happened to one of your friends or family you might think twice.

Leah Betts was the anti-drug poster girl of the tabloids, hell bent on scaremongering society into this misconception that drugs are this all encompassing evil affliction on the youth of the 90's.
She had the misfortune to go out and do pills with her mates and took an adverse reaction: it could have happened to anyone, but it happened to her. I'm very sorry for her parents and friends loss. She could have died in a car accident, or caught meningitis, but no, she died from a reaction to a drug that at the time was the media's favourite topic. The fact that her father was a policeman only added to the fact that her death would be turned into the circus it was.
Us "Yuppies" (boy haven't been called that before) won't stop doing E or any other drug simply because of this: how many people of Leah's age died that year as a result of alcohol, diet, environmental factors, accidents? but no, that doesn't make good sensationalist front page "news" on the comics that pass themselves off as newspapers.

As for not believing the media hype of whats in ecstacy, I take it you all take the word of your dealers then? So you take the word of some <unt who will tell you some ****e is 100% ecstacy just so he can pawn it off to some poor <unt who should be halfway between the gutter and the sewer? You should all take a good long look at yourselves and see what your lacking in life, I have a very good friend of mine who got ruined by drugs, just make sure you lot dont too

You have outlined in that paragraph the main arguments in favour of decriminalisation: do I trust some idiot on a street corner selling me anonymous white tablets? Not a chance, but what choice do I have? If I'm that worried I can go but an test kit online and test the pills. Even if it comes out as pure 100% MDMA there's still a chance I will die. But for f**k sake, there's a better chance I'll die every morning I get into my mates car and travel to work, there's a better chance I'll go out drinking some night and get murdered by some bunch of drunken f**ks who decided to kick the sh*te out me cos they felt like it at the time.

I've been "ruined" by drugs in the past: most drug takers will tell you similar stories. But it's not the drugs that ruin you: it's the personality behind the drug taking: if you abuse them and let them control you, they WILL ruin you. But so will drink, cigarettes, et al.

Alright excuse me for the point I made on the ill educated bit,my fault
.

My opinion is based on what I have seen from people who are on these drugs.

Mordeth I am reading your links mon ami dont worry...

See, there's nothing wrong with approaching things with a slightly open mind: no-ones asking you to start doing cocaine 3 times a day, only to not form opinions wihtout being in posession of all the facts first.
I agree that seeing some people on drugs when you're not can be an eyeopener to say the least: I've often stood in a club after a load of drink laughing at people gurning and throwing mad shapes on the dancefloor. But till you've walked in those shoes you have no comprehnesion of what's going on at their end...
