Symptomes appearing years later in people who have used RC's?

[mozaik0000]

I've looked around, and can't seem to find a case of someone who suddenly got damaged years/months after consuming RC's.
I ask because i've seen it a few times already, basically: "who knows what's in there, and who knows what will happen to you in a few years", followed by threats of Parkinson, Alzheimer, Accelerated Dick Rotting, etc.

Is this just scare-tactics, or do we have some documented cases of people who blame the sudden appearence of a condition on their past RC use?

If not, does such a possibility exist? Can synthetic molecules linger in the body for extended periods of time, and start destroying you years/months later? I know very little about chemistry...

The idea that i could have a couple night's fun, feel fine the following months, and then get crippled in no time... is somewhat disturbing. I tend to guesstimate the toxicity of a coumpound based on how i feel the days/hours following ingestion, am i totally deluding myself?!

Mmmh. I've never heard of it. I'd assume if you're gonna get a degenerative disease like Alzheimer's from drug abuse you'd see warning signs, I mean you wouldn't just be fine for years and then suddenly you're really sick...I'd assume. I'm not sure.
However I strongly doubt that 'a couple night's fun' would have that sort of impact, I'm sure this would only be applicable in the case of people who strongly abuse whatever RCs.

I'd say it's possible, lots of the RCs available haven't really been tested on humans for a long time so the long term effects are a bit of an unknown. Then there is also the presence of various impurities that could be toxic. Basically for a lot of RCs there is no proof either way.

I would say it's highly doubtful. There's probably less <1% chance you're going to suddenly have negative health problems after years of being fine. There's just no scientific possibility for it, other than things that are genetic and run in the family such as cancer, etc, which would most likely have no involvement with RC consumption.

Even some pharmaceuticals haven't been tested long term (lyrica and suboxone come to mind) no one knows how they will affect you years down the road, but the pharm companies deem them "relatively safe"

If you are concerned with the ambiguity, then don't use drugs in the first place. People have different genetics, body types, life styles, ect... That contribute to sickness and disease. The drugs could definitely catalyze a chain of unforgiving reactions such as alcohol and cirrhosis or hepatitis.

Unfortunately. That is just the name of the game with drugs, and part of which makes them so enticing..."how will X + YZ make me feel? Oh shit that made me feel amazing! I wonder what W + XYZ feels like? Oh shit that was even better?"

Years later, scientist find out that X +YZ causes cancer and stroke. Who knew? The best example is ciggeretes and tobacco. People used to belive that tobacco was healthy for you and promoted healthy respiratory function. Damn, were they sure wrong says the guy with one lung and a breathing tube down his throat!

you've got no way whatsoever to say thats true. many diseases and horrible things simply "pop up" and we have no idea how they came about, until we really put a finger on it. i won't touch an RC for the life of me. they are more dangerous in my opinion than all of the hard drugs put together in a big container and snorted.

 

[Toucan]

well it is possible - you might suddenly find that you've got cirrhosis, or a heart condition, or cancer. but how will you know that this was ever due to the RC's you took 4 years ago?
I think even if some of these drugs are truly toxic in the long term - no one will ever find out about it.

@synthetix, you've got no grounds for that one either... the risk is less certain but for all we know they will prolong life indefinitely and extend the penis immeasurably

 

[Jabberwocky]

thats true toucan and it's probably closer to the truth than my answer. there's just no real and proper way of measuring how good or bad it is for you apart from time (which we haven't had yet).

 

[hatrix]

Anything anyone says is just pure speculation. While I highly disagree RCs are any more dangerous than all of the hard drugs (except of course known highly toxic chemicals), I already agreed that random diseases and shit can pop up at anytime.

But like I said, it doesn't necessarily have ANY correlation to drug use.

 

[mozaik0000]

Well at least, none of you has come up with a documented case, at least that's a bit reassuring... After all, there could be a bunch!
True, not much study time, but still quite a few RC's have an honorable number of candles on their birthday cake, and heavy abusers weren't born yesterday either...

At any rate, i am still curious to know if synthetic coumpounds have the ability to linger in the body for some time before "lauching an attack", in other words can they act as viruses who sometimes lay dormant for years before they cut you down?

I understand that some coumpounds are simply not degradable by our bodies and therefore accumulate in some tissues, slowly gathering the quantities necessary to act as a poison. It appears there are a few confirmed chemists here on Bluelight that are on the lookout for potentially highly toxic chemicals such as these, do you think there is a good chance they would detect them and ring the alarm in time?

I feel that most hard drugs are worse than most RC's, but like anything there are exceptions. RC's that are similar in class and structure to more well-known safer compounds should be given a semi-green light. RC's that are extremely potent and diverse compounds would steer into a red light.

In reality no one knows the truth of any of this. Nobody knows the long term effects of anything.

There are highly toxic chemicals in practically everything these days.
