drugs / drogen / las drogas / médicaments / 薬

I’m trying to write a blog about drugs and research is so annoying. either you’re getting over exaggerated fasts and side effects or you’re getting hippy “drugs are cool” propaganda.
I wanted to learn about the nation debt according to the war on drugs. the war on drugs and terror are number 5 on the list for the nation debt. I could only then find the liberal remarks that legalizing drugs would end the nation debt. or marijuana, not all drugs. I found a good page and I don’t know about the facts but read it anyways: http://www.facingup.org/smoking-national-debt-financing-our-future-with-legalized-marijuana
basically legalizing marijuana will pay for the war on drugs but nothing else.
and why won’t our dear and kind government legalize marijuana? because it’s the “gate way drug.” I WANT TO STATE RIGHT NOW THAT I DO NOT SMOKE MARIJUANA OR USE IT IN ANY FORM AND I’M AGAINST MARIUJUANA. some people argue that smoking marijuana hasn’t lead to the usage of other drugs. well, I USED to be a ‘stoner’ and yes, marijuana did lead to other drugs. it lead to alcohol use too. In my 20’s I was addicted to cocaine really bad and almost died from it and destroyed my life. after the incident that forced me to get off of it I began drinking and that went on from my mid-20’s till I was 25. and that destroyed every other part of my life that cocaine didn’t. I am now a recovering alcoholic with 1 year and 10 months. I also don’t think many of my other friends with drug problems wouldn’t be where they were or are without the influence of marijuana first. I also think alcohol leads to drug and tobacco use.
obviously I'm not the only one with a record of trying, using and moving on from marijuana to other harder drugs and ruining my life so there’s fact to marijuana being the gate way drug.
plus you have every celebrity under the sun doing and taking about drugs. being arrested for drugs. going to rehab for drugs. but they all look so cool and glamorous. and after they get off drugs their music and acting changes. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is very open about his past drug and alcohol problem and in 2005 talked about his recovery with a new NIN album that kicked as much ass as every other NIN before. then his 2007 album as a sonic trip and all the rest since have been some of his best music while being sober. But Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots gets sober and his music sucks and then he relapses. you have that Dr Dre with The Chronic and his new album that’s supposed to come out… (when?) but it’s called Detox. Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen… the two later ones are a direct message that drugs and alcohol are bad but that’s not what they’re saying and this is our influence. both of our kings died of drugs, Elvis and Michael Jackson. The Beatles were drug addicts. 
drugs are everywhere, just turn on the radio or TV. the anti drug commercials are so cheesy and retarded that they’re worthless. and hippies are claiming that if we legalize marijuana everything in America will be ok. could you imagine? everyone slow, annoying, and stinking? god, I would throw a fucking fit! and then what’s next? legalization of LSD and other not-as-harmful drugs? why not? everyone is ADD or bipolar and we’re all on medication for the defects in our minds. let’s just be the nation of losers on drugs.
maybe, though, the legalization of marijuana will get every piece of shit hooked on cocaine and heroin and maybe, if we’re lucky, they’ll all just over-dose. and you know me, always looking for a way to reduce the population. but then again- we’re all crying about cigarettes killing 5 million per year and how much that costs- well imagine every time Scooter from down the street OD’s on cocaine and we have to rush him to the hospital. that can cause some costly problems for health care. and wait- doesn’t smoking marijuana probably cause lung cancer- the same as cigarettes? and damage DNA to likely increase the risk of cancer? hmmm…

  1. I have been back and forth on this topic myself. Would I have started doing all the other "harder" drugs had I not been a total pothead back then? Who knows. Maybe it was more peer pressure than it was the marijuana. Not that I was "pressured" but the phrase "If you can't beat em, join em" came to mind. I have no idea. I am pretty sure though, that I would not have jumped into some of those other drugs from completely drug free.

    I do think that medical marijuana IS a good thing. People with cancer and other issues benefit alot from usage, and I don't think they are going to go out and get hooked on heroin.

    Times I wish I never had started smoking weed. I would have done great in school, proably gotten a scholarship and gone to college and have a sweet ass job right now. (Not that I don't love my job) Then again, I started slacking off and not giving a shit in middle school, a couple years before I started smoking weed.

    I don't know though. I think I am with you on the whole legalization thing, but am for the medical marijuana.

    So, yeah. There you go.

  2. yeah, i'm cool with medical marijuana. i'm not going to go into how i know people that have just moved to Cali and lied to doctors and are now getting it but hey- that's better than breaking the law.
    also there's the whole if you weren't smoking pot would you have hung out with the same people / the same people that got you into harder drugs- but after all is said and done i have, and many other people hav,e made lasting friendships with my past drugies. and some of them, like me, have grown up. like you as well.
    so, you know, everything i've gone through wasn't a total bust. and maybe the people that have gone through the whole crazy drug life, when they're younger, have a fresh view on life that is good for society- not that i'm saying everyone should do it.
    and it wasn't my original idea for the blog, so i need to simmer down. i was just always curious as to the whole national debt if legalized vs. whether or not it's worth it.
