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.

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 ;-)

My flame sense is tingling. But then again, so is my weiner.

Pardon me for being stupid....

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.

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.

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.

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.

A drug is a drug... While there are different classifications of drugs, if you say drugs, it sometimes is better to be more specific.

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.

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.
