I do it sometimes because I can sleep better and relax.  |

| I don't ... mostly because I'm only 16. But I wouldn't plan on doing so anyways.
However, my parents are fans of the drink and smoke, and some of my friends are into the scene of drugs. |

Originally posted by Metal Man88 They accuse me too, mostly because I'm kinda pale and I don't get much sleep, so my eyes are bloodshot sometimes. Also, I have ADD and I tend to tap around on desks and even twitch every now and then. I tell people I don't... but nobody believes me except my good friends who already know that I wouldn't. In other words, hell no. |

| Haaaaaiiilllll no.
I have never had the desire to get high, and I'm positive that I never will. Pretty much what Kamek, Thoughtless, and Darkdata said. |

| Why would anyone be afraid of drugs? Are you worried you might become an addict? You probably take drugs every now and then anyway, you hypocrites. If the doctor told you to smoke medicinal weed, but knew in your mind that drugs lead to substance abuse, would you still smoke it? How come this doesn't affect people who take a fucking tylenol every now and then when they have a headache?
Maybe it makes sense that every drug has a purpose, but society has transformed the word drug into party time? |

Originally posted by Rom ManicI'm staying out of this thread, except to point out that there is a fairly obvious difference between simple medicinal drugs - Advil, Tylenol, Motrin, and the like - and actual substances that are taken with the intent of producing a physical effect. I take a Tylenol when I get a headache, for example, but I hardly intend to get high off of it. Which is a good thing, because no drug of that sort will ever produce that result, unless you consider curing a headache to be "getting high." |

| I think you misunderstand what a drug is. A drug ALWAYS fucks up your body in one form or the other, regardless if it's MDMA, weed, or Tylenol. How do you think your headache goes away, by magic? It's the Codine in tylenol that relaxes your muscles, hence less muscle tension and (Obviously) no headache. This is also why people normally don't take a tylenol before a workout, or a good run.
And you can get high off of Tylenol, depending on A) how much you take, and B) The strength of the dosage within the pill. |

Originally posted by Rom ManicNo, I think I understand quite clearly what a drug is. I never argued that Tylenol doesn't have some sort of effect on the body. Obviously, if that were the case, it wouldn't do much to cure headaches, eh? Originally posted by Rom ManicNo, I don't think Tylenol "fucks up" my body. I've never noticed any sort of "high" or other effect beyond the fact that it remedies miscellaneous aches and pains. It is in no way comparable to weed or MDMA or anything else, unless of course it is taken in excessive amounts, which is clearly not its intended use (nor is it safe). Originally posted by Rom ManicI don't think I ever implied that Tylenol cures headaches "by magic," just that there is no additional "high" associated with the suggested dosage. That is, if you use the substance as it's intended, it has no recreational capabilities. The fact of the matter is, you say that anyone who is anti-drug abuse and uses Tylenol or Advil or any other OTC pain medication is a hypocrite. And that is pure nonsense. |

Originally posted by DanielleLet's put it this way. If SilverShield's post hadn't magically materialized below my view area when scrolling, I would have internet punched Rom Maniac over UDP. Simply put, a medicinal drug (i.e., Tylenol, Pepto-bismal, etc., a few of which I take on occasions when the situaion warrants it, e.g. major headache or stomach pains) is not equal to your "medicinal herb". Pot is used to get high by design. Actual medication can be used to get high by abuse, usually by taking a dosage far over the instructed, safe amount, or by taking it in an alternate way. Rom Maniac's just trying to justify himself. |

| Ultimately he doesn't have to justify himself. It is his own damned choice. I see people do lots of stupid and unhealthy things every day, pot being the least of the damned pile. Unless it is a threat to society as a whole...I really couldn't give less of a flying fuck.
But I have to bring up the fact that as a society we blur the lines of what medication is. I mean...LSD and MDMA started out as psychiatric drugs that just got popularized for their use and its users brought their drugs to the street - where it became abused. On that point it is pretty much generally agreed that pot has various medicinal uses. And however probable it is that RM just uses it for fun (of which there is no serious ills done) it must be said that others do not (see: Tarale's post). Then there is the fact that there are entheogens. Unless we want to go off and call various things nothing more than abuse. |

| 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) psychoactive drugs. 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)  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. |
