[quote=Darkdata][quote=Tarale]I might just be tired, but I thought the point was that people attach a negative connotation to the word "drugs" when what they really mean is certain (usually illegal) <em>psychoactive drugs</em>.  It kinda bugs me a little, but that's just me being nitpicky I guess.

I take LOTS and LOTS of drugs (okay, fine 3 prescription medications and an over-the-counter one) :D  And I might get to stop taking the over the counter one if I can get my doctor to test (and treat if necessary) for helicobacter pylori (acid-reflux causing stomach bug).

As for my weed smoking, I haven't had to do it in a long while, since I changed the contraceptive pill I was on.  The previous pill was supposed to manage the pains, but... didn't.  This one is more expensive (ahh boo) but does.  So no weed for a few months now, and only one or two incidences of big-fat-stabby-owies.

But I like to have the option there in case I do need it -- I would rather smoke some marijuana for the pain than be put on an addictive (possibly narcotic-based) analgesic.  At least I know I won't (and am not) be addicted to the pot. >_>  Besides, several strong analgesics make me even goofier than weed does.[/quote]

This is where I can agree marijuana  could be used as a drug to treat pain, in extreem cases. It is much better than some of the alternatives like oxycotin.

However personaly I would never use it "for fun"

But to each their own.[/quote]

Kai Posts: 20/23	I've been offered loads of times but i always refuse. All my mates said they wouldn't do any of it but they did! I'm like the only one that never has AND never will.
Yarx Posts: 8/14	Not a chance, never will. I'm very opposed to smoking of any kind, legal or otherwise. Just the way I am. but I don't mind the odd alcoholic drink. Just one of those quirks in life ;-)
Rom Manic Posts: 439/557	My flame sense is tingling. But then again, so is my weiner. Lakithunder: This is where you stop being a woman and drop the nutsack a little more. These people are heckling you, don't put up with it.

Lakithunder Posts: 984/1284	Originally posted by Danielle Originally posted by Lakithunder They're both drugs. Just one is more abused than the other. Meth's boost is meant to just toy with the mind and body into creating an artificial paradise. Tylonol is simply medication to deal with colds. (and this pic makes me laugh too) Pardon me for being stupid.... hits himself with heavy book

Lakithunder Posts: 980/1284	Originally posted by Pvt. Prinny Originally posted by Lakithunder Everyone takes Tylonol at least at one point of their life. Most take it often for pain. Ibuprofen (spelling) is also like this. Drugs like meth are used to ease pain when there is no physical pain to begin with. Drugs like meth are used for recreational purposes. It's a lot like drinking an energy drink if you want to make more of a comparison. I dunno, if you don't want to consider that meth and tylonol are both drugs, then whatever. They're both drugs. Just one is more abused than the other. Meth's boost is meant to just toy with the mind and body into creating an artificial paradise. Tylonol is simply medication to deal with colds.

Salmon Posts: 206/221	I've effectively stopped, since the only guy I know who knows where to go to get hashish (or the occasional marijuana) had to stop because his girlfriend didn't like the habit. I myself never bothered to get any contacts, since I never had any intention to become a regular user. So it doesn't matter too much that I had to stop, over the last year I think I've lit up twice, so I'm what you would call the veeeeeeery occasional smoker.
Lakithunder Posts: 960/1284	Originally posted by Pvt. Prinny You certainly don't need tylonol though. You're using it to gain an effect. It's just a lot smaller of an effect than meth. Everyone takes Tylonol at least at one point of their life. Most take it often for pain. Ibuprofen (spelling) is also like this. Drugs like meth are used to ease pain when there is no physical pain to begin with.

Lakithunder Posts: 958/1284	Originally posted by Pvt. Prinny Someone using tylonel and someone using meth are both taking drugs... Point taken, but people taking Tylonol are usually doing it to ease some form of pain. Cigarettes and such and such are drug ABUSE. Abuse is wrong and if you refuse help to quit, then good luck wit ya.
Sinfjotle Posts: 1613/1697	A drug is a drug... While there are different classifications of drugs, if you say drugs, it sometimes is better to be more specific. Someone using tylonel and someone using meth are both taking drugs...

Tarale Posts: 2413/2713	Originally posted by Rom Manic Originally posted by Silvershield Wow, 0 for 2. You're batting .000. I believe it is you who misunderstood my first quote. You made it sound like people who DO down bottles of tylenol at a time do not exist. That is wrong to assume. 200,000,000 million americans and you can't tell me that at least one is suicidal enough, or ignorant enough, to down enough to kill ones self? The second quote there I misread at first. My mistake. Tarale: Both of those fallacies do not apply in this case. Assuming Tylenol and Weed are the same is just as safe as assuming that a tweeter and a subwoofer are the same. Both are sound devices and process a wave signal into vibrations, but the subwoofer only vibrates at a low frequency, while the tweeters will vibrate at any other frequency to give you perfect sound. Sure, one subwoofer might have a bigger speaker than another one, but there is no denying they are subwoofers. Perhaps you should ask your doctor if you are concerned with the validity of my posts. It's not that I am blind to the truth, it's what you choose to see that blinds you to the truth. No, I still believe its Reductive Fallacy, as to say all drugs are the same, you're simplifying "drugs" down to the most basic of definitions. That its a substance introduced to the body which produces a physiological effect. In doing so however, I could make a Reductio Ad Absurdum response that this means that Salbutamol (Ventolin) is the same as Crystal Meth. After all, they both have a physiological effect. That means a 12 year old kid that needs their Salbutamol to live (or specifically to prevent death) is effectively the same as a crystal meth user, a heroin addict, or an alcoholic. It's all the same anyway. It's okay though, they're all the same as me with my 3 shots of espresso in the morning. Mmmm... caffeine.

Tarale Posts: 2412/2713	God dammit Xkeeper, I hate that Game Over picture! It creeps me out! And now its followed me to work! As for Rom Maniac and the assertion that "a drug is a drug" / all drugs are the same, this strikes me as a bit off. Fallacy of the General Rule or Reductive Fallacy perhaps? It seems to both over-simplify and also to state that something true of one must be true in all instances... Personally I see lots of differences when it comes to "drugs" or "medication". I stated earlier in this thread that I choose to smoke marijuana for chronic pain rather than be prescribed a narcotic painkiller -- this is because I see big differences between these two drugs, particularly with their addictiveness. I'm pretty sure the field of medical science sees a lot of difference in different drugs also. Ask your doctor.
