What's the difference b/t a zombie and a drug addict?

Really? Zombies have some drug applied to their skin (not like other illegal drugs... PCP or LSD are also illegal drugs that are applied on the skin), but the drug used to make a person into an automaton or slave isn't the same as PCP or LSD and it's done against a person's free will...but even if someone is tricked into trying an addictive drug to be "cool", the illegal drugs still have the effect of a slave or a robot b/c the person is fixed and now in control of a master/seller/dealer....

a drug addict is in his own world, doesn't make sense when he talks and has a knack of killing himself when he can't find anymore of them...and usually make pretty good rock artists.

A zombie is a brainless, dead thing walking around killing people, is too slow to run, walks like an 80 year old, is SUPPOSED to scary but isn't, doesn't talk but howls, stars in cheap, boring horror movies and usually gets his head blown off.

still need a dictionary? 😄

One is defined as alive. One is not.

PCP isn't illegal. Its actually a veterinary anesthetic, which if smoked, gives you a high similar to crack.

Being an addict is more expensive

Addicts don't eat brains.

Legal drugs (tobacco and alcohol) are just as dagerous and addictive as illegal.

In B-movies, zombies are from the dead, but the real issue is that the person is never dead to begin with, just given herbs and that blow fish thing that makes their heart rate almost stop, then something applied to the skin to make them forget who they are and to make them "dazed" or "hypnotized"...so, they become the perfect servant, I think illegal drug users are like perfect servants when they are addicts, b/c they will do anything to get the drug(s).

Not entirely true.

Zombie can be alive. In movies they primarily are not but in the origional zombie stories they were people being controled by witches or evil sorcerers.

Oncewhite you clearly know nothing about "drug addicts" so why do you make such stupid comparisons? Some smack head wanting their next fix would just take your money, they wouldn't bother doing what you want for a price. Your black and white view of the world is annoying.

No you're not thinking of B-movie zombies you're thinking of Fugu zombies (An old witchdoctor recipe).Fugu Zombies can't go to Rehab addicts can.

well, i read and heard that once those witch doctors stop applying the herbs, the person is able to recall parts of their life again...and won't be obiedent....

and regarding drug addicts, i am as good at figuring out drug addicts as i am figuring out "fugu" zombies, but they do look alike in some ways..

i just looked up the word "fugu zombie":

"Due to the metabolism slowing down so much when the poison is ingested, breathing and heartbeat are often imperceptible. This can result in the victim suddenly 'returning from the dead' when the effects have worn off. The houngan of Haiti use a powder made from a similar fish in their zombie rituals. Hollywood hype would have us believe that zombies are raised from the dead, but the victims are 'killed' using the powder. Victims are conscious of sound and sight while their bodies are paralysed. The houngan retrieves the 'corpse' and revives it, keeping the victim sedated. This makes it appear that the body is alive but the soul is dead. The zombie is usually hired out as manual labour, so making it profitable for the houngan"

Seems like a huge generalization towards drug addicts. Kudos for another biased opinion in this biased world.

here's some more information:

Here's what one site said, I know I'm deviating, but this is interesting, as when someone does "astral projection" their silver cord is still attached to them...this is from a role playing game...

"Necromancers worked out a complex method of drawing a sliver of the soul back to the body to power the corpses and give it 'life'. "

Necromancers

Either way, i think it's the dulling of the mind that makes drug addicts the same as zombies, yes, there are definable differences, but the part of not having free will, to be addicted, is the same as being a zombie.

Just as dangerous? Not true. I don't recall high instances of first time fatalities for cigarretes..or people having cardiac arrest for having a shot. I do recall those effects for crack and ecstasy.

Addictive, cigarretes? Not on the first time like more severe legal drugs.

Legal drugs are addictive and dangerous, but as much so as many illigal ones.

Isn't this the same thing as saying that legal drugs are just as dangerous and addictive as illegal?

No. The magnitude is the question. Excuse the typo, I meant "Legal drugs are addictive and dangerous, but NOT as much so as many illigal ones. "

Thay was the opinon expressed in the rest of my post.
