What are your thoughts on drugs/drug usage?

• Look this is how im gonna drop it, 1000 people in a room all on coke or alchohol or acid or (hard drugs) your gonna have problems like fights, deaths etc. Plus these drugs cause people to act in ways which are a dangerous to others . I know cause ive had em. 1000 people in a room with weed or 1000 people sober I very much doubt you would have so many issues with violence etc. Alchohol destroys lifes all over the world, so why should that be legal? Because the market for it is supporting the way we have grown a custom to living. Why not let weed be a part of this because bottom line if you dont agree with weed get your rock music and throw it away. Get you regae and throw it away infact just throw most of ya music away. And I get that ganja has risks etc, but can you tell me how thats anybody elses business except my own. There are health risks when you smoke cigarettes, drink red bull, drink beer, drink wine, eat, have sex, get in a car, get on a plane, answer your mobile phone etc. does that mean all these things should be illeagal? Your going to harm your fellow man much more than me having a spliff when ya drive home tonight cause that shits gonna kill us all. Look they wont legalize stuff cuz they think it will destract us and ultimatly extract us from society which they dont want cuz they need you to work for our system to exist as we know it. Plus there are risks of alienating people in society that feel strongly against substances such as weed (you know those that havnt tried it and hear DRUGS and think well that must be bad thats your answer the risks outweigh the financial gains
• psychedelics should be legalized for medical research. drug use should be left up to the individual.
• It is morally unacceptable to tell people what they can and cannot consume, I also believe marijuana is very beneficial for society and should be legalized.
• Social drugs such as weed and MDMA should be legalised or at least decriminalised.THe focus should be on clamping down on hard drugs such as coke, crack and herroin. I think these drugs are a problem to society, wheras i think that social drugs are much less of a problem than alcohol is. I would sooner see that illegalised than weed and MDMA.
• Non-Harmful drugs such as cannabis, mushrooms and LSD should be decriminalized, while hard drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamines should stay illegal..
• i dont even know anymore
• There are those who can handle occasional drug use, and there are those who can't. You need to get a feel for who you are and not use drugs if you feel as though you're at risk for addiction or negative experiences.
• Drugs should be used responsibly. Always using drugs should never be the base. Certain people should be able to use drugs where necessarily. Marijuana should be legal, if alcohol is, considering it is less dangerous. Marijuana (and other weaker drugs, like caffiene, NOT including alcohol) should be legal, as long as you don't use them inappropriately (like all of the time, or with great promotion to people who choose not to use). LSD should be allowed for spiritual use, but the person should be well informed. I believe that an interesting law would be a "drug license". If a person is deemed responsible, and well-educated on that drug, they should be able to buy and use it. They would be punished for overuse, and very strongly punished, and have their license remor distributing to those who do not have a license. There is a better way to control drugs by saying all strongly psychoactive drugs except alcohol should be illegal. With sense and organization, certain drugs should be legal. Extremely addictive drugs like Meth should not be legal. Keep in mind that LSD is often used responsibly anyway, and should not be as illegal as it is.
• drugs are perfect for evolution, that's why they should be legal. if people know how to use them, then they'll use them properly. and they are smart and should remain living. if they do not know how to use a drug but abuse it then it would make sense in the evolutionary-sense that they would die. only the strong/smart survive.
• I don't believe there should be mandatory drug tests. It is an invasion of personal privacy, and usually the only ones that are caught are marijuana users, which is the least we should be worrying about when it comes to moral. Drugs are forms of perception, and each and every one of us have different reactions. If you can't handle something, DON'T DO IT. If you can, why the fuck not? If you're not hurting anyone/thing, it shouldn't be a problem. Government has grown too large over these many years and taken control of the public, when we should be the ones in control. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! Peace. <3
• Is a huge problem, but education for youngsters is paramount at controlling the drug population. Addicts cannot be helped in this manner, but the younger generation who haven't been exposed can
• drugs that can be used medically are ok for people who need that. Also drugs that are not bad for you and are not toxic like marijuana are ok.
• People need to be educated on the actual truth with drugs especially marijuana and alcohol.
• I believe all drugs that are not considerably addictive and/or pose major health problems should be 100% legal. All other drugs should be decriminalized.
• PAINFUL, CERTAIN DRUGS COULD BE USE FOR MEDICAL PORPOUSE
• In a short and simply put manor, I believe drug use should be available for everyone; and though I personally do not agree with the use of most, it is opne's own right to experiment and use drugs in the way they see fit.
• Drugs which cause none or minimal harm to others should be legal
• Not sure that drugs should be legalized, but drug users should be offered help when caught rather than jailed. It's more helpful to get them back on their feet, saves money, and keeps room in prisons for real criminals.
• Each individual is reacts differently to different substances, so blanket laws and regulations are not effective or reformative. We tried to save people from their selves regarding drug use by making all drugs illegal via the war on drugs, ineffectively. The world as a whole should adapt a more compassionate role in helping those who seek help for their drug problems, while letting others who are doing no harm to others, live life and experience what they will, and learn lessons in the manner they see best.
• Drugs destroy the population. Drug education and rehabiliation is vital.
• i like turtles
• Drugs are a test to a person's mental strength. When someone fails, it's their fault, not the drugs.
• More realistic education should replace programs such as DARE. Drug use ought to be treated as a medical issue, not a criminal one.
• DRugs are pretty awsome. kinda like cheat code for real life.
• hard drug usage should stay illegal marijuana should become legal not because i smoke it, but because it would probably help with crime. people would no longer have to sell it and that would make for less problems. also i believe if alcohol is legal then there really is no fight as to why marijuana would be. people coulf fight that it is unhealthy but smoking cigarettes are illegal to so obviously health is not our many worry.
• If marijuana and psychedelics are used correctly, they can have wonderful personal benefits.
• I think some are fine as long as the person has their life on check and does everything.
• Well most drugs are every dangerous, but i think that if your educated on drugs and you know what your doing its somewhat alright. As long as you know you have the ability to stop at anytime.
• AWSOME
• I think that a lot of drugs can be used responsibly and safely If people take the proper precautions and research before taking them. However some drugs such as meth are just terrible.
• I think that caffeine and maruijuianna should be legal it is by far less harmless the Alchol and tobacco.
• All drugs are bad in some way if abused, even soft drugs like caffeine and marijuana. Alcohol is a drug as well. Drugs can enhance the human experience recreationally if used responsibly.
• drugs offer alternative realities and great things, but prohibition has turned them into a taboo, despite most societies acceptance of some sort of drug.
• Drugs should be legal, I aint hurtin no body buy my body
• the war on drugs is the governments last hope to have control over its population racism and hate have cost the american people billions over the years of the drug war
• Fine if used in moderation.
• It's not the chemical, it's how you use it.
• Drugs are there for enjoyment of those who want it, and mentall can handle the effects it brings. Mental stability is the main factor behind drug use, recreation, even medicinal treatment. Everyone is different, why are we all grouped the same?
• I believe marijuana should be legalized since it's effects only help people, but legal drugs such as alcohol should be made illegal since it not only destroys your liver but can kill you. Marijuana as killed nobody where alcohol has killed thousands.
• Every one of these jobs are ridiculous and shouldn't be used for anything, in any circumstance. EXCEPT for marijuana. It should be legalized immediately. Also, alcohol should be banned immediately.
• i used to say i want to marry herion, i loved it that much, it.ruined my life, i went to rehab and two years later im back at it worse than ever. i want to stop so bad and i will. its hard. its a never ending cycle and no one should ever just try it once cuz its not just once. the soultion to this issue is thre is not one. its sad to think i was once a sweet innicoent child, i dont wish this upon anyone. it ruins lives. and familys. i wish there was a magical answer on how to permanentaly drug proof all kids, but there is not. we just have to raise them right, because adults form the children into the people they become, if they grow up around substance abuse its inevatible, they will use too. most of the time with there parents or family. so sad.
• Legalize Marijuana. It is less harmful than legal addictive drugs(Tobacco and Alcohol.
• I think that though miss information people can end up using drugs when they dont understan the effects - not all drugs are horribly dangergous or addictive and many people dont understand the effects on the brain/self. if the actual stimulation was described to kids it might alter their usage
• They are there to help with everyone needs
• anything natural, should not be illegal. first off that just seems wrong to make something that naturally occurs illegal, plus the affects of almost any natural drug are harmless to the person and others around them.
• I think drugs are ok to be used for experimental usage, except meth, crack, and pcp, that's just dumb i've pretty much done everything else and i like it i don't really feel like there is anything wrong with me, as long as one doesn't get addicted to the drugs they are using i don't see why we can't use them
• YESSSSSSSSSSSS.
• Drugs are either used by people who are bored or have serious issues
• Drugs kill the soul, and the family surrounding them. Everything, except for Caffeine should be illegal. Alcohol, Marijuana too. ILLegalize it!!!!
• Drug usage can get to a point where it is completely inappropriate. If someone doesn't smoke marijuana (for example) every single day of the year, I think it's ok for them to smoke it. Drugs overall can lead to a bad future and hurt your education if you are a teenager.
• It's okay recreationally, as long as the person can still function
• I think drugs and alcohol help a lot of people with stress and pain.
• It should be up to each individual; the government shouldn't have a right to dictate what people put into their bodies, let alone arrest them for it.
• enforcement does not work
• Use responsibly, in moderation
• I believe there is nothing wrong with drugs and drug usage. The problem is people who abuse it and go around doing stupid stuff making drugs seem like Satan's little helper to the media.
• Alcohol may be used during parties,but drugs should be used only if needed in medical conditions.
• Responsiblity is most important
• Drugs are good
• Myself I like to use some forms of drugs on special occasions but I also make strightly sure I won't become a habit. I don't have a negative attitude towards drugs, however I think everyone should be super careful to keep their drug usage under control because they can get extremely dangerous when things getg out of hand.
• amazing
• Weed is good, meth is bad.
• Drugs like methamphetamine should be completely destroyed, personally speaking, seeing as how I lost years of my life to the drug and can't help but to see myself when I warn teenagers of the serious damage it will cause to their lives. I believe alcohol should only be served in bars, resteraunts, etc., as I believe it would dramatically decrease the rate of alcoholism - if it were harder to get to every day and served by a licensed and trained bartender that is in control to keep underage drinkers sober and legal drinkers below the legal limit to prevent P.I.
• I'm the BIGGEST Drug user in my school. XDD So, I don't know what to really say, but that this survey is a load of worthless crap. XD
• Fuck cops
• More drug use than i expected once i came into the culture, drug prohibition does not work, legalization and education are the ways to go.
• I enjoy them, some should be legalized.
• I believe that in a country that promotes personal freedom, drugs should be legal. As long as you are not hurting anyone else with your drug use, then there should be no problem. Ending the drug war would stop the drug violence in Mexico, save lots of taxpayer money, and create revenue which the United States so desperately needs.
• People should be able to do what they want with their bodies. Marijuna and other drugs should be legalized.
• If they people want to do it then let them. The government could make a lot more money, plus more people would die so there would be more space for the new.
• ---
• Well not all drugs are bad i.e : Chocolate, caffeiene.
• Drug education should be more reliable and focus on safe drug usage
• fun
• Moderation is key!
• Drugs and alcohol open people uo to a new perspective of life unattainable without drugs. They should be readily available for most everyone.
• Moderate use of Marijuana,LSD, MDMA, and some opiates is ok in my opinion.
• I smoke pot around once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. It enhances my creativity, makes me more sociable, and helps me deal with stress. I have mild-moderate depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and Aspbergers Syndrome. I am fifteen, and I say "Yes we cannabis!" (:
• All should be educated and learn the way drugs affect them and their limits.
• If you use drugs you are not a bad person, weed really needs to be legalized, i smoke everyday and have high 90s in school. All other drugs that are hard and actually dangerous should stay illegal like cocaine.
• Drugs are okay in moderation, if they aren't used at times when you need to be doing other things.
• Drugs can be good or bad depending on how you use them.
• I love drugs way too much.
• drug give addiction
• I believe that most drugs should be legal for either recreational or prescription use with the exception of meth and heroin.
• It can be fun and useful, can also cause lots of problems. Moderation is key.
• Certain drugs such as heroin and cocaine have no real benefit whatsoever. Marijauna on the otherhand is harmless and does have benefits for pain relief.
• I think that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, therefore, it should be legalized. If anything were to be illegal, I think it should be tobacco products. They kill so many people a year, and they aren't even trying to stop the selling of the products!
• it is bad
• I think drugs are an important part of pursuing happiness for some people. I believe people should have a right to experiment with psychoactives if they want to as long as they don't drive or endanger others. I do not believe that people should be incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses ever. Marijuana and natural psychodelics should be legalized in my opinion. I would not take back my substance use if I could, it has helped me see the world another way and taught me a lot about myself. However, I do think moderation is the best way to use drugs/alcohol as excessive use has set my life back somewhat.
• I think that marijuana should be legalized for a variety of reasons. One, it is absolutely no more dangerous than drinking, period. Two, it isn't addicting. Three, Nobody has ever died from it. Four, it has a wide variety of medicinal purposes. And finally, it's the best.
• Marijuana is not harmful and is useful for medical reasons. Hard drugs that have serious risk towards the user are the main problem and should be more tightly regulated. Alcohol is not a problem with me however it is with many people but would be too hard to strictly regulate.
• I think that if someone wants to use a drug the government should let them. It is their overall choice to do it. No one should control that.
• Drugs should be used at your own will. Don't be taking drugs all the time. The more drugs you consume, the more they will affect your health and create problems.
• some drugs are alright for people to use. marijuana isnt as harmfull as alchol and yet it is illegal. thats fucked up
• its bad
• The reason people abuse them if becuase they searching for something more, or want to be feel something different that normal life can't offer them. I think people just want to be happy and feel love.
• There should be a better education on how to use drugs safely. Also, marijuana should be legalized.
• If you use marijuana once in a while it is fine but harder drugs are really bad .
• Drugs can do beautiful things; users simply must act responsibly and know their own limits.
• Drugs that come from the ground, salvia, marijuana, peyote, etc. They should be completely legalized. For drugs that are refined laws should be set on them, less strict laws, but laws. However partaining to marijuana laws, they are futile and useless and should immeaditly be completely repealed if anyone even has a tiny drop of sense. Note that I have never used marijuana, although i know people who do. Thank you for your time and consideration.
• they are good
• I don't really know.
• Marijuana is safer than liquor
• The only drug I agree with is marijuana.
• its not good and it will kill you if you dont stop.
• its really personal choice and the people you hang out with.
• Drugs change the way you think of things. If you think you can handle what drugs do to your brain, than try things a few times. As soon as you feel uncomfortable is when you stop doing everything.
• Certain drugs are okay when used in moderation.
• it is great.
• I enjoy drugs.
• its aqwesome
• marijuana should be legal and drinking
• i think that there are some people out there who use drugs in a bad way like using crack and stuff but weed and alc. is fine
• The use of drugs and alcohol are a bad COMBINATION because the person can die from an overdose, alcohol consumption in ex causes destruction of homes and families.
• Legalize, regulate and employ for medicinal or psychological needs, and for artistic creativity.
• Weed should be legal, it will make ciggerette usage and cancer rates go down. You can't die from weed and its stupid that something like cigerettes is legal but can kill you and weed is illlegal but can't kill you.
• el uso de drogas se debe penalizar mas severamente en el caso de los adolescentes
• Everyone should have the right to put anything they want in their body and have access to the information they want about it.
• ok
• it is a big problem
• dank.
• Drugs exist in everything we eat and drink, so we need better law in the matter
• There needs to be more control of these drugs coming into our country
• They should be used at your own descretion.
• MARIJUANA IS DA SHIT
• I think most drugs should be legal, excluding some such as heroin and crystal meth. If somebody wants to do drugs it is their life and their choice to do so. I don't think society should be able to control what substances people can and can not use.
• i feel neatural about it
• It's a personal choice.
• Marijuana should be lagalized
• Drug use will never stop. there will always be an addict/alchoholic It will always be there
• If people want to ruin themselves let em do it. drugs should be legalized.
• Drugs aren't bad, it's what people do. There is a difference between a drug user and a drug abuser.
• Making drugs illegal just makes them more appealing to people.
• Drugs are overtaking youth; it is readily available, and, unfortunately, it's everywhere. Whether you know it or not, you
• Marijuana should be legalized, if not the penalties should be lowered.
• The key to saving our youth from drugs, is to educate them on the risks, and to cure those who have fallen in to addiction. Drugs users shouldn't be considered as criminals, but as people who may or many not need help. Also, I believe, that responsible drug use is possible, and I disagree with people who take drugs when they no nothing about it.
• It's everyone's own decision. People should be informed better about drugs.
• Always have the control of what you're taking and how much/how often. It should not come to an addiction and it shouldn't be harmful to your body.
• should be monitored
• Just stay responsible and accountable for your actions
• muy malas
• I have no stake in the legalization of all drugs however countries that have all drugs available on prescription have much lower usage rates than here so I think that should be done for addictive substances. Hallucinogens which are not physically addictive should be completely legal considering they do far less harm than drugs which are already legal.
• Prohibition has never worked and never will. Bringing the black market to the "white market" , or taxed/legal market, would cut gang money.
• I think drugs can be very helpful medically as well as psychologically. I believe drugs with minimal harm, such as marijuana, should be legalized.
• I love drugs, but they ruin lifes if you put your drug priorities before your important ones
• Drugs are bad.
• hey hey smoke errday
• dgjk
• Some drugs if used properly an develop you as a person?open your mind and give huge possibilities? some can help dealing with problems and stress - they are not a desision,but they can help you to make the right one.But use them properly and respect them.
• I LOVE ME SOME HURRN
• Many illegal substances can be used positively, and should be legalized.
• It's nice on occasion.
• it seems drugs help you cope with life and stress issues but at the end of the day all your doing is fucking up your life more then it already is. drugs are just an easy way out for cowards i learned the hard way.
• the best
• THE DRUG SHOULD NOT BE USED, DAMAGED HEALTH
• I believe we should focus on preventing the personal problems that people face that cause them to turn to drugs and alcohol. I also believe that marijuana is a plant, not a drug and should be legal.
• I think drug use can be an educational and therapeutic experience when used in a responsible and mature setting by intelligent adults.
• W0o0o0o0o0o0o0oOo0o0o0o0O0o0o0o0o0
• huinidufuhuvufrvvrger9ueiiegd
• I am against limited personal freedoms for personal safety. What you put in your body should be your business. Truthful education should be the deterant.
• Cannabis should definitely be legalized. I think that more truthful education on drugs would be helpful.
• Certain drugs (Marijuana, LSD, Mushrooms, DMT, Mescaline, Etc.) of the mind-expanding variety should be legalized. However, the harder drugs with ACTUAL scientific research showing their addictive potentials should remain illegal.
• Potential users should be warned about drugs and drugs should carry an age limit... certain drugs should not be available unless on prescription (certain addictive opiates) but people should be educated and taken care of rather than criminalised..
• Responsibility and moderation
• I think everyone should be free to make their own mistakes
• poop
• stay baked nd wasted :)
• i should be able to use any thing i want
• due to lack of education on the government's part, safer drugs such as cannabis and ecstasy remain illegal when alcohol and tobacco are not, this is obserd and i believe the goverment need to take a long hard look at the real underlying reasons that they classify drugs the way they do!
• Every year thousands of people die of alcohol abuse and of other drugs, but nobody has ever died from Marijuana abuse. Other than being risk-free, it has countless medical benefits, such as helping with Parkinsons.
• It is bad for you and can ruin ur life
• Drugs are ok in moderation
• fun
• GANJA SHOULD BE LEGAL!!!
• No opinion
• Most drugs can be bad for you and addictive. Marijuana should be legalized because it isn't addictive, makes life seem better, and you'll be happy.
• I like doing drugs, that is when i have some spare cash like 50 pounds for a gram of cocaine or 25 for a half gram, which is rediculous money but i still waste mine on the drug like everyone else i know, cannabis i smoke everyday as soon as i wake, my life seems better this way, however if i wasnt so addicted to weed, and i didnt get so stressed with loved ones when i try and quite, i would really like to quite and only smoke at partys and stuff, but everytime i try i turn into a horrible son, boyfriend, student, so best thing is to get a 10 pound bag of weed and have a smoke, every ounce of stress is then lifted off my shoulders but am unfortunately a lazy stoner again
• Its should matter what you use so long s it's your choice. If your abusing something that's not physically addictive then you have a stupidity problem not a drug problem.
• Drugs can be used in moderation but not misused
• i think people should look up the side effects of te drug they are about to use so they know the right dosage to take and what to expect. i think a lot of studies should be done with magic mushrooms so people can fullly understand their potential. perscription pills should be outlawed except to be given to the very crazy.
• If people wanna fuck up, let them. Then they'll learn. Experience first hand so if you live to tell it, you'll have a story to tell. You can't say shit unless you've done it yourself.
• marijuana is the best drug in the world and should be legalized
• They are bad and should never excist
• Drugs can be used responsibly, but if made legal I believe problems would only be worse
• they should be illegal
• I think chemically altered drugs are bad, but other drugs like marijuana that grow from the ground with their affects should be legalized.
• I think depending on certain people/situations it's okay. But this is also only my opinion to a certain degree. I believe if they were more offered, and less for the matured, I feel the number in usage would help lower. Eventually leading to stabling out.
• never
• i'm whatever about the issue
• I luvvvvv them
• drugs that dont serriously mess up your system should be free to everyone under the age of 19 (do to them not being able to make apropriate decitions on there own until at adult age), i think that if someone is ready to try weed, he or she should try it, with no consenquences, but with drugs like heroine, it seriously messes you up so it should be illegal
• I love it.
• Tried most stuff at least once or more. Not under any circumstances but needs to be something that enhances my experience ie. with nature. I think too much of anything is bad but there is nothing wrong with trying most things once. Peace
• kln
• I think naturally occuring substances, such as marijuana and mushrooms, should be legalized. As well as LSD. None of these drugs have adverse affects, (Excluding LSD flashbacks.)
• Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Baaaaad.
• DRUGS=LOVE
• i think if people were smarter about them, they could use them. But since they aren't drugs laws are fine where they are.
• Drugs are no where near as bad as people make them out to be, excluding harshest substances meth and heroin. In many cases drugs do not ruin lives, the rules and reactions against them do. Its been my personal experience that marijuana, lsd, mushrooms, ecstasy, etc are non addictive, in my case Cocaine isnt addictive i used it every day for a week then didnt do it again for six months and had no craving towards it. Certain things should be legal other wise people will try other substances that i can see would cause serious health issues such as 'bath salts' 'spice' 'plant food' and RC's in general. Thats my 2 cents, if you wish to contact me with further questions you may at jacked0007@gmail.com
• Ok
• toxic drug dealers should be delt severely
• Drugs are not for everyone, there are many different kinds of drugs. Some kinds are good for some kinds of people. There are good and bad things to consider when doing or discussing drugs.
• depends on the drugs. weed should be legal.
• weed is okay drugs are jus dumb
• ban alcohol, legalise cannabis
• Drugs are not as bad as people put them out to be. But, people should be cautious when choosing to do drugs because some are addictive and can interfere with life.
