    There's not a single drug in the world that can have you addicted after only taking it once. We were shown a stupid propaganda video that said that about Ecstasy back in secondary school. At least 1/5 of the class had taken E before. The result - nobody ever took any educational videos we were shown in SPHE seriously again. Two girls ended up impregnado. We called them the barrel belly sisters. Good times. :pac:

    yeah those in-school anti-drug type things can have some negative effects. You come into contact with cannabis and realise its not a big deal, so then why should we believe anything else they say ? (even though there is truth in those things)

    The school anti drugs lectures should be teaching kids what to do if you take something and things start going wrong bad trip bad yoke etc

    The thing with prescription drugs is you are giving a list of potential side effect that occur in the frequency of 1 in 10, 1 in 100, 1 in 1000, less than 1 in 10000 etc. With street drugs you are given the impression of almost certainty about all the potential side effects. No attempt is made to quantify, any of the claims.
