Whoa, nasty.

Well, now I'm not hungry any longer. I hope you're pleased with yourself.



Sorry dude, but that's horsecrap. There are plenty of people who can responsibly handle recreational drugs(meth is pretty dangerous tho, and I have never fucked around with it, thank you very much). Occasionally eating some pills and groping your friends will not lead to that kind of trainwreck unless the potential for it was already inside the person. The drugs are not to blame, the person is.

That's pathetic. You're so eagre to defend your recreation of choice that you ignore the fact that drugs were a massive contributing factor towards this person spiralling out of control like that.

Sure the person lacked the required degree of self control in the first place, but giving that person drugs is like egging on a drunk driving a car to speed; you're just asking for something stupid to happen.

Moreover, I detest fuckers like you that try to minimize the consequences that drugs have and emphasize their benefits. The benefits are fleeting at best... moreover, the short term high, is countered by lows, moodswings and what not... and any extensive amount of use, in order to recapture that initial high; which can never be recaptured... is soon turned a constant low that requires the drugs in order to return to some semblance of normality.

It's not like I'm against the idea of getting high, on the use of some substance... but the prevailing pragmatism in me recognizes that illicit drugs are the most 'efficient' available method of achieving that high, but that they also come with highly undesirable 'side effects', that cause the cost to far outweigh the fleeting gains.

In the end though... you're right, drugs can't be blamed; but the people and the cultures that promote them can certainly be held accountable.

That said, I recognise the point you're trying to make; that is the person had it in him to be such a slob anyway. But to that, I say horseshit - just because its in the persons nature doesn't mean it can't be avoided or changed, nor does it mean it can't be exacerbated or 'promoted', as is the case of the lifestyle that chases after drugs.

Yeah, this is a tough choice - blame the drugs, the person, or which to blame more?

No comment :lol
