Ignorance About Drugs ~ Bitch Here

I used to get PISSED at the moronic people who would pop oxycontins, percocets, and vicoden like there was no tommarow, but rag on anyone who uses Heroin, like their opiate is some how more supperior and less adictive. I used to try and explain an opiate is an opiate is an opiate, but gave that up loooong ago.. Some people are just so force-fed propaganda that they regard it as the gospel, no matter what the real truth of the matter is.

I managed to keep my heroin use under controll (no physical addiction anyway) for almost three years (then the shit hit the fan), while they were stewing in their own feces, vomit, and sweat 24hrs after their last little innocent oxy.

But to stay on topic ... there are these anti-socialites who go to a party to have a place just to do their drugs. You know the kids that no one invited because they have an out of control addiction so they show up anyway, then sit in the corner of the room with each other doing their heavy drugs ... if I was throwing a party, I would tell them to beat it. If I am getting busted by the 5-0 I don't want anyone leaving their burnt spoons and syringes laying around my house.

If they weren't invited then how did they hear about the party? Someone must have told them...

If they are off in a corner doing drugs by themselves then they aren't causing a big scene ensuring that the cops get called.

Just because someone does "hardcore drugs" or the fact that they have an addiction does not necessarily make them less functional in society. Not all addicts are skummy assholes who are leeches on society, there are plenty of addicts who hold on jobs and carry on with life.

OK... anyone who thinks Ptah's post was racist is not only thin-skinned to the point of transparency but is a fucking idiot to boot. It could not be more obvious that he was not denigrating anyone, but rather taking to task those who consider themselves "superior" to the groups named. People like you are the ones who get Huckleberry Finn yanked from library shelves, and other absurdities. Fuck off, PC police, and yes I do feel superior. :D

Well it was a little unsettling, if anything because we "superior" people know that many might find it offensive and would rather avoid that kind of impact. Words have power, and it be wise to understand how to best use them, least some "inferior" person misinterpret our intentions. And also, we should remember that albeit recent, most incredible (at least, imho) of grammatical inventions, the emoticon. ;)
 
what do you think is the biggest misconception non drug users have about drugs?

i know there are so many but i think the biggest would have to be that non users do not understand at all how differently people react to drugs.

that is for example, a non drug user will often think that has marijuana has zero addiction potential whereas heroin has 100% addiction potential and if you try it once you will be hooked and your life ruined.

they don't understand that there are people like me who tried heroin but got addicted to marijuana instead. they don't understand that there are heroin addicts out there who have had less negative affects from it than from alcohol or marijuana.

even i didn't realize how individual it was until i really started to read threads on bluelight and saw how much people were disagreeing with each other over the effects of drugs and how differently people would describe their experiences with them and what diverse drug preferences people have.

instead people have opinions on which drugs are "worse" for you and expect this to hold true for EVERYONE. that is why people out right accuse me of lying when i tell them i had more trouble with marijuana than opiates.
 
I guess they have to learn some time. I was so ignorate before I came here. But getting preachy about if, GTFO
 
Just tell him that by switching the argument from "Opiates are always dangerous" to "Adulterants that are not opiates could be dangerous", he has conceded the argument. Then, go get high.
 
the ignorance about drugs i use to hear in high school was astounding

the "oh the blue ones are heroin now, and the yellows are coke now, etc" was terrible
i gave up after a while on those. People always feel the need to be right even when they're confronted and proven wrong they'll still hold onto the idea that they have because they cant admit they're wrong.
:!
its so infuriating!!!

The absolute worst was arguing with a dealer over if the pill contained MDA (which it did) or mescaline -_-
I whipped out my testing kit and he still didn't believe me. He told me it was nothing but a lie and that the testing kits weren't real and that he saw the chemist put the mescaline in the pill. I laughed and said "oh ya ok ok you're right" at the end because i was too annoyed to go any further.
 
I have lost many friends to my drug use; not because they "saw what it did to me and OMFG LYKE I CHANGD"

I simply told them what I did, and they didn't want anything to do with me. If I don't tell people that I use, no one would know.

Recently I have been trying to curb misconceptions that non users have against drugs. I'v even gotten a few of my friends curious.


I think my number one largest issue with ignorance in drugs however is people who DRINK, but refuse to try other drugs because of what DARE told them in 8th grade. Here people are, talking one of the most addictive and dangerous of drugs in circulation (Lancet Medical Journal rated it 5th actually), and meanwhile, the same idiots won't give weed or acid the time of day. That's like comparing nukes to landmines.
It's amazing, that even after presenting scientific evidence that alcohol is more dangerous then others drugs, people are not accepting, while they continue to drink. I have to wonder if they have some sort of mental cap on their brain, forcing them not to be able to comprehend logic.
 
I have friends that will drink themselves to the point of blacking out every weekend but will not touch marijuana because it will 'alter them permanently and cause them to be addicted'.
 
yeah my druggin friends always tell me I'm an addict meanwhile they do just as much drugs. they tell me to cut it down and "practice meditation" like they know!!! lol idiots.

also, I hate how people always think that e is all meth these days. not true.

or how people will be so afraid of oxy or percocets, because they think theyre addictive and will ruin their life, but they'll still go do coke a couple times a week, or ecstasy (both of which cause more physical damage!!!!)
 
^ I would much rather do E (which physical damage is only linked to memory after constant use) then Oxy (which I could possibly get addicted)

In my opinion, if it was addictive quality VS possible physical damage, i'd still go with the one I have a safer bet with. E is only physically damaging if used frequently (and I don't use it often) Oxy can potentially make you dependent.

I can see where you are coming from with the coke thing though.
 
Some people are like that, and some arn't.

Im one of those people that would rather not test how far my drug independence can go. I think there are a lot of people like that, who stick to non physically addicting drugs :D
