Drugs like weed cause sperm damage, kill brain cells, over time cause lung cancer and cause other harmful things. Why do people insist on thinking drugs are safe. Also to the people who say that some of the healthiest people smoke pot. Do you know them personally and if so how healthy are they.

Some drugs are beneficial. Like Exedrin for headaches or NyQuil for...fevers (not sure? :lol:).

Most recreational drugs are not helpful to you. The people arguing for the legalization of pot should stop that tact. The true argument, is whether as an individual, you should have the right to decide for yourself whether or not you wish to use that substance.

All drugs are beneficial, if taken for the right reasons. Marijuana is good for people with chronic pain. All medicine is the right amount of drugs for the right reasons.

Recreational drugs, however, are stupid.

NyQuil is for colds. . . .though the tiny amount of alcohol in it and the pseudophedrine in it has made it a common ingredient for certain people in Crystal Meth.:roll:

Drugs can be beneficial.....the problem is just that there are far too many people who abuse them.

Just wanna point out that those underlined items are fallacies. Sort of. It causes sperm damage, but less than most of the completely legal substances we ingest in everyday life (several types of food-coloring do this, that are in a lot of our foods).

It does not kill brain cells. The one study that showed thes only used 4 test subjects and no controls. It was also discovered that the subjects were almost suffocated with smoke, which is the only reason any brain cell loss was found.

And it still has not been proven to cause lung cancer. The most extensive research generally shows no correlation, but that one is still up in the air.


However, frequent use (at least 5 days a week, at least one cigarette-sized joint each of those days) will almost undoubtedly cause chronic bronchitis and sometimes emphysema.

You're still right, almost all illegal drugs are harmful. Some, like weed, are just bad in large amounts for extended periods of time, in the same way that too much beer and pizza will give you kidneystones. They're not helpful (THC has some pain-relieving properties, but you have to smoke a lot, which is hard on your lungs, or use synthetic stuff like Marinol), but they're not harmful, either.

Most people who advocate the decriminalization of drugs do so, not because they believe that the drugs have good effects, but because they believe the government has no right to tell them how to lives their lives.

Yes, because we became a nation of alcoholics when alcohol prohibition ended. /sarcasm

What's your basis for making such sweeping generalizations?

Damn right. I don't even smoke, but forget the government's laws. Everything I have to say has been said and said again in all these drug threads, so I won't rant. But seriously, everybody's naive little pot-is-bad brainwashed mindsets are so incredibly tired. Get over the fact that marijuana is not hell in a blunt.

The THC in marijuana helps prevent lung cancer. Marijuana does not have a single shred of proof saying that it kills brain cells (the one study usually cited was done on monkeys and has been debunked by scientists). I don't know about the sperm count reduction. Marijuana really is one of the safer things you can do. As long as you use a bong or a vaporizor, that is.

There are hundreds of completely legal prescription drugs that are far more dangerous to the human body than most controlled substances.

Most people can convince themselves of anything they really want to be true. But it should be pointed out that many drugs ARE actually helpful. They're a big part of modern medicine, when used appropriately.

It's a conspiracy maan! :P But seriously, if Cannibis was legal (thus making hemp legal) Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, and timber companies would lose insane amounts of money. In fact, it is widely rumored that DuPont Corp is the reason that Cannabis was made illegal by the Marijuana tax act of 1937.
