    Poll reads like the menu at my wedding dinner.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    New thread merged with a still current older thread that had better options and a multiple choice poll.

    None of the above.

    The bad news stories have made me fear them.

    Yes I do drink and yes I drive a little faster than I should from time to time but my head and gut tells me illegal drugs are nasty, dangerous and pretty scummy/dirty tbh.

    lawl.




    cannabis
    MDMA
    BZP(now illegal)
    LSD
    salvia divinorum
    2C-B
    cocaine
    speed
    mephedrone

    out of those I will and do continue to take MDMA/cannabis fairly regularly because they aren't dangerous, in fact they are relatively safe.


    next on the to do list are mushrooms and eventually DMT

    None would you believe, that I suppose makes me a freak. They were never around me growing up and in work I am subjected to random drug tests.

    But I am not opposed to them, I would like to try an E at a music event and smoke to a joint which I may do when I go to Amsterdam next month.

    As a question...is it the legality or the substances themselves that lead you to feel they are "scummy/dirty"?

    Do you feel if you were in a country that had a more relaxed policy towards certain drugs you would be more inclined to give them a try?

    Yes. That's certainly part of the reason for sure. But not the complete story. The idea of putting substances into your body that you're not really sure what it is, in an attempt to enjoy yourself is a bit dirty. Like finding something that looks like food under a rock and tucking in. I always figured, if i was in someone elses house and found, say, little yellow unmarked pills in their bathroom, I would have to be a complete tool to try a few for a laugh. Same goes for taking pills off some guy in a club.

    Now, I guess you'd say if those that are illegal were legal the above two points wouldn't be issues. Fine. If you want to debate the pro/anti legalisation thing, be my guest. But as of today, they;re illegal and untested so **** that - I'm not putting that **** in my body.

    Some people do get hooked on some drugs and **** up all or part of their lives. Some people do die from drugs and drug-related causes. Some of those people, undoubtedly boasted that they new how to handle it too. No one sets out to appear on www.facesofmeth.us/

    I was in Holland last year - a very close friend grew up there. Didn't change my opinion. The feeling I get off most dutch people is that Amsterdam (and the drug tourism ****e) is a bit of an embarressment.

    What about opium?? (not heroin) Nom nom nom


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy

    Oh hell no, i've done that too much to ever bother doing it again. :)

    I have just noticed that people who may be anti drugs tend to fall into the category of those who dislike the substances and those who have issues with the legality so i was just wondering which you were.

    As it happens, it's a blend of both which i normally find shows the person has actually considered the subject instead of just reacting to it.

    Cheers for taking the time to answer.

    There are also those who have issue with the drug gangs and their actions and how buying drugs perpetuates the cycle of destruction.

    The same people that would be opposed to legalisation, thereby eliminating said destruction.

    Absolutely, and they even have a valid point, however i find those people will normally have an opinion that falls in line with it being a legality issue, no?

    The dislike the drugs because they are, at the end of the day, illegal. I'm not dismissing your point at all, just saying that I am effectively bracketing up to main headings.

    It's the same way with pro-drug people. Some people will admit they are illegal, others will offer feeble excuses as to why they shouldn't be illegal while ignoring the fact that they are just that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,940 ✭✭✭4leto


    In fairness there are good arguments for legalising drugs and good arguments against.

    I would be on the side of keeping them illega,l look at the ruin the legal drugs cause as in cigarettes and alcohol.

    Here, to spite what people think, drugs are relatively in control. In places were they are not in control (like parts of America) then legalisation is perhaps the only option.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,678 ✭✭✭I Heart Internet

    I'll make a deal with you. If, in 40 years time, we're both lonely old farts with nothing else to talk about and all the jigsaws in the world have been completed, we'll start on that debate :D

    As it happens, it's a blend of both which i normally find shows the person has actually considered the subject instead of just reacting to it.

    Yeah, trust me, I've had far more reason than I would ever have liked to think about this in recent years. In fact, I shouldn't even be in this forum! New rule - stay away from AH threads on religion and drugs.......so what else is discussed on here...........oh, porn...I see.

    Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi- colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.. a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.


    Poll sucks

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    5 off that list, but I only tried poppers once from a friend and (i) it isn't illegal and (ii) the high lasts about 5 seconds.

    I wouldn't take the harder drugs like Cocaine or Heroin. There is also a serious amount of rubbish spewed about LSD including this

    Can't ever fly a plane if you've taken LSD.

    There's also a very popular urban myth which says that acid stays in your nervous system for life which is usually attached to this story. That's also not true.

    People don't really do that, most would know they're drug dealer personally, you could simply look at his face and know whether their any good or not. Although without proper controls you can never be sure with pills and powder. Weed on the other hand is easy to tell quality and there's nothing scummy about it.

    Are you talking about drugs or meth, many people seem to confuse drugs for the worst possible drug.

    That's funny, I've met plenty of Dutch that love the drug laws there. Maybe your friend didn't like drugs which made him biased. I know my friends where definitely biased in favour of the head shops. I suppose it would be like taking any foreigner to Temple bar, some locals find that place embarrassing.

    What's any good? The drug dealer or the drugs? I think both are wishful thinking. Some people love to think their drug dealer is like that Mr. Nice guy so they can buy their drugs with a clear conscience.

    I don't agree (on it being not scummy) but I respect your opinion to think it isn't.

    I'm talking about drugs. I haven't confused them. Some people confuse all drugs with the "best" possible drug too. Or claim that some drugs are pretty much a healthfood.

    No, she used quite a bit in the past (almost all, not in Holland btw).

    Well, I'd also think if someone bought an unmarked, unidentifiable pill off someone they didn't know in a club, they'd be idiots.

    But that's not what everyone does. There are ways and means to greatly increase the chances of buying drugs (or, more specifically, pills) of decent quality if you use the resources that have been made available in recent years - sites that allow users to discuss the effects and purported contents of various stamps; groups to whom you can send your pills for laboratory testing, who will then put the contents of the assayed drugs on their site for all to see; and relatively inexpensive reagent kits that help identify the class of compounds contained in the tested substance.

    Right, so you're still not absolutely sure you're going to be getting cast-iron guaranteed, 100% pharmaceutical-grade MDMA, but it is still by no means the game of Russian roulette with an ecstasy pill and a shot of rat poison that so many people seem to think.
