How do u feel about peers using drugs?
Some peers think it is so cool to use drugs, but the reality is that Drugs effects their personality such as Becomes disrespectful, is verbally and physically abusive Is angry a lot, acts paranoid or confused, or suffers from extreme mood swings Seems depressed and less out-going than usual
Is secretive and lies about what he/she is doing and where he/she is going Is stealing or “losing” possessions he used to value Seems to have a lot of money, or is always asking for money....Withdraws from the family and family activities..
I have also noticed some College Students using drugs too, My question is why and how we could help them get the help they needed before too late?
Discuss please.
Cheri, what is your definition of 'drugs'? If it is man-made drugs then yes, I agree with you that it is bad for everyone.
But if it is 'natural' drug, that will be different story.
I admitted that I did smoked the marijuana when I was in HS & out of HS for few years, for some reason, it helped me concentrate on studying and increase the awareness for sport games much better than non-smoking (I recieved average 3.4 GPA, so rumor about using marijuana causes poor performance in school is totally false). The results vary on the individuals. I haven't smoke for maybe two or three years and I didn't regret that I stopped it. It is quite easy to stop smoking marijuana, it is baby stuff (the rumor about can't stop smoking is totally false too). Why did I do that? Cool? No. To be part of the crowd? No. It is all about curiousity. I wonder what does it feel like when I smoke so I decided to give it a try and liked it ever since. I never go any far than just smoking marijuana. I was determined to not go any more than marijuana and I kept my words. My pals did some dangerous stuffs like snuff the coke, smoke the crack, pop a PCP, etc. I quitted because I am quite tired of being paranoid about cops (and also my best friend [gal] hassled me about it so I gave in and stopped). Holland legalized it and they rarely have any problem, that said all. I smoked maybe one joint per week, that's it. People said that I haven't changed when I smoked the marijuana, I mean like.. attitude, behavior, etc.
Many famous elite warriors in old civilizations used the natural drugs to boost their awareness & quickness, the history shows that it aid them won endless numbers of the battles. You have to remember that people in old civilization is 2 or maybe 3 times stronger, tougher and smarter than us in present. That said all, really. Oh yes, well-know people like... Da Vinci Leonardo, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Aristotle, etc etc had been using these natural drugs to relax, to boost their awareness, and other things. What is the different between old civilization and modern civilization? They (old civilization) tend to not abuse... unlikely some people nowaday. I forget the name of books, these books contains many information about famous people (in old civilization) who used the natural drugs like marijuana, mushroom and other things to boost many things. Native Americans smoked the marijuana too for special events. Have they ever abuse these? No.
Unfortunately that nowaday, natural drugs are corrupted. Manijuana is known to be corrupted by adding cocaine, paint thinner, borax, etc... In old times, these aren't corrupted by these artificial chemicals. That's why I state above that I do agree with you that man-made drugs is bad.
Know what is ironic about these? Simple drug like aspirin killed more people than 'high' drugs together. Yet people blamed on wrong drugs. That got me confused and always did. Malpractices in hospital alone killed nearly 13 times more than cocaine PER year. Can anyone find the irony in that?
All things, tools and substances can be bad or good, it is depend on how you plan to use. Man-made 'high' drugs i.e. cocanie and man-made drugs i.e. aspirin is automatically bad for you. I completely agree with Cheri but natural drugs? No. I don't think it is bad for anyone. The history itself proved..
In fact, I am prepared for anyone to judge me or make some remarks toward me because I smoked marijuana in my young time :P But I do support the 'idea' that it is bad for everyone because they simply don't know how to control themselves. It is same thing for drinking the beers. Same old story.
Cheers!
Edit: btw, I never smoke the cigarettes, I HATE IT and the smells is far worse than anything else. That's why I tried so hard to not go into any bars that allow smoking.
Second Edit: Oh yes, it is not my intention to offend any of you smokers :x
Not laughing at it, just funny how they talk about it. I am aware it could help some people.
