Are people who take illegal drugs, stupid?

Oh, I see. You're not so much calling the people stupid, as the act they partake in? Gotcha.

I wasn't saying that you were implying that last part, I was just stating it.

Lastly, why do you believe anything illegal is a foolish act? Just out of curiousity. Because on topic, mushrooms and weed are natural. I mean, surely you don't consider it that much of a stupid act to educate yourself on something unknown to you, then trying it. People do that every day. Or is it PURELY because of the fact that it's the partaking of an illegal act?

Just curious, not having a go.

Marijunna and mushrooms are in the same boat as alchahol.

Either prohibit all of them.
Or let the goverment regulate them.

Don't care which side of the coin it flips on, just get R dun..

Bush's war on Iraq was illegal ; therfore is that foolish 🙄

Stupid, no. Self-indulgent...certainly.

A huge number of the most brilliant people I've met in my life have been recreational drug users.

I think doing anything illegal is foolish because it's jeopordizing their freedom and possibly, their quality of life. More or less, just because they're partaking in an illegal act. Of course, there are extreme circumstances that would justify taking part in an illegal act. Just a generalization, more or less.

Yes, I think it was. And I don't think I'm alone there.

you're sure ar3e not BF

actually, the way the ques is structured...it makes it sound like the person the thread starter was addressing is the "stupid"

illegal drugs are usu illegal for good reason, it is stupid to do them for health consequences, but the people themselves are probably of average intelligence, ...uh that is until the drugs burn the crap out of their brains

If someone told me that feeding a pig pineapples for a month would make its poop taste like gummy bears and its natural as well I still wouldn't try it.......anyway my point is with ANY drug (because if you take "prescription" drugs without a perscription they are also illegal) is that whether or not it is illegal they are far greater ramifications for use with illegal drugs (talking about getting caught) and its a bad descision.

that's disgusting soleran

Licit drugs are illegal, if taken without prescription. Yet they (like Retalin) are administerd to Airforce Pilots.

Does the health of these pilots need these drugs : NO

But if the drugs help pilots get the job done its ok .

But it's their choice and as long as they don't hurt anyone else, it's fine. I know you're not disputing this, just highlighting it.

Soleran, why are you assuming there are greater consequences for illegal drugs? Weed has never killed anyone, ever.

Leana Marie stated "drugs effect people around you, trust me, I know personaly".

So using drugs DOES hurt other people. Everything you do effect someone else. Whether you want to or not, you, SpellJammer, and everybody else has to take responsibility for what they do and don't do in life. Because that's WHAT life is all about.

Ok I never once mentioned death and I am certain if someone wanted to look hard enough we could find some weed driving under the influence piece where there was a death.

I was highlighting more the fact its not the physical pain but the pain in if you get caught or make a mistake and someone else gets hurt.......however like I said before I am not just highlighting illegal drugs but perscription drugs as well.

Its about good descision making at the end of the day and possible repercussions associated with a bad descision.

The only time you could MAYBE is by smoking it. In which case it's the smoking that does the damage, not the weed. The process of taking the drug, not the drug. You're not gonna die of lung cancer if you eat weed in a cake. Weed hasn't been responsible for any death. Fact.

Well decisions are up to those making them. What's good to you might not be good to others and vice versa.

That's just one case. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm saying that it's not factual as you appear to be trying to do.

I take responsibility for what I do, exactly. What someone else feels about a decision I make is of no concern to me for the most part. I can't blame someone else if I overdose on drugs. It's my fault, so therefore it's my decision. No one elses. As usually you're talking out of your backside.

Yep, it's their choice, that doesn't mean I can't see their choice as stupid, obviously. I'm sure you see other peoples choices as stupid as well, I think everyone does.

Once again let me say this a little clearer........I said driving under the influece of weed could cause a death due to accident......so yes weed can impair your judement and you go for a ride and now you can have a very large effect on people around you.

Enough of that cuz at the end of the day go smoke go drink go do whatever but everything you do can have a possible affect on someone else.......you get sick.....go to a doctor.....you don't pay a bill whatever........every action has an equal and opposite reaction

No, I like to think of myself as smart. 😕

Hahaha. The crash causes the death. The weed doesn't kill the man. Silly analogy.
