please dont come on to bluelight and start posting this shit. if your actively posting i'm going to assume you use drugs recreationally...if you use drugs recreationally,i dont give a fuck what they are, do not pass judgement on some one else who does. it doesn't matter what drug it is, all have the potential to ruin your life, and all have some potential of addiction. so do not put yourself up on a pedestal because you think pills and weed are so acceptable but another drug isn't just because its not your drug of choice...
when i stated that heroin is the evilest of all drugs, i was stating a fact
A comment like that in here will no doubt get a nasty reaction. You cannot say it is fact heroin is the evilest of all evils. Personally I'd think alcohol destroys more lives than heroin does. Herion just attracts more negative media attention and has a bad stigma attached to it.
We appreciate your advice but please don't state your opinions as facts. State your ideas as what they are, your ideas

I'm not so sure i agree with this, Fry-d- , but rather than get all opinionated about it let's try to be objective and logical... heroin is used by 1 and a half, or 2 percent of the population, according to various statistics. two years ago in victoria the "heroin toll" stood at almost 400 people a year. so out of, say, 1 and a half percent of victorians (they reckon h use is declining) - 40,000 approx. users, 400 of those died in 2000 alone. so that's like, heroin users have a one percent chance of dying on any given year. apply those stats to alcohol (and i read somewhere that only 25 percent of victorians don't drink, it could have been less) and you've got about 3 million drinkers in vic, which means to have a 1% annual user DEATH ratio you'd be seeing a whopping 30,000 people DYING of directly alcohol-related deaths each year (or on a bad year, anyway). and that doesn't count drink driving. that's ALCOHOL OVERDOSES. so, i'd probably have to say PER 100 users (or whatever) heroin would have a much higher life fuck-up ratio than alcohol. in my book, that corresponds to heroin being more "evil" than other drugs. but fuck it eh, i mean all drugs are evil to some extent, based on their POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE. such a fucking rant, i dunno if i even make sense here, but i felt like arguing, and i ain't done math since school

Lets not blame the drugs, lets blame the weak people that let themselves get addicted. And don't give me the shit about how you're more likely to get addicted to heroin. If you're the sort of person who's likely to get addicted to the point of causing a problem, then you shouldn't do drugs. It's much easier to blame everything except yourself, but you were the one who took the drugs in the first place - nobody forced you.
Sure, maybe some drugs have a higher addiction potential, but that doesn't make the drug evil - it just means that it should be used by less people because there are less people capable of using it safely without getting sucked into addiction.
Major respect to Pleo! Very well said :D
