well, sure everybody likes to be liked and maybe even "popular" in any kind, but doing drugs and doing all the things youths do these days is just not what I consider cool! its rather stupid! The new motto "YOLO" (you only live once) only proves it for me...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh no doubt about it, it's totally stupid. Even people who say YOLO aren't even cool... maybe they were for like a day, but I can't imagine that they would be anymore.
Doing drugs will always be cool though, stupid or not.

My lazy dumb ass friends who do drugs... yeah totally rad!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
They were cool enough for you to hang out with them, apparently.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I will always consider them my friend, doesn't mean I hung out with their retarded ass selves
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You don't sound like much of a friend.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Haha. Go ahead, keep pretending that you know me ;D
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm simply inferring things about you based on what you've told me. To imply that I shouldn't would mean that I also shouldn't believe you when you say you don't think drugs are cool.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Drugs aren't cool because it makes people dumb and lazy, not all people, granted I know that. when you become dumb and lazy then you are stupid! I don't care if you're my friend or not, fact is fact, and that is not something to admire
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yea but look how many stupid people are cool right now.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Not that you are being very smart with "Doing drugs will always be cool though, stupid or not."
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well I suppose there are some exceptions, but in general, drugs make you cool... at least until you turn into one of those creepy people who did the really hard stuff, like meth... I've never seen or heard of a cool meth user, they all look like they came out of a Tool video.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
There are plenty people who are cool and rad without drugs, I don't see how is a must to consume drugs.
If you are "cool" and everything because drugs, then you aren't being honest with you because it isn't really you, you don't have control or total idea of what are you doing, saying or thinking, it's not you.
Also, if you can be cool with drugs, you can be it too without it.
Like I said before "it's like you need a gun pointed to your head to get the things done", if you physical are capable to do it with a gun pointed to your head, you are physical capable to do it without it.
Unless you mind is weak enough to need something else to boost that attitude.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well maybe, but the actual act of doing drugs is cool... and to participate makes you that much cooler, whether you were already cool, were never cool, or don't need them to be cool is irrelevant. Your coolness goes up a notch no matter what.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Nope, anyone with their feet on the ground knows that doing drugs is stupid and therefore only idiots do it.
It's more someone with "sheep" behavior trying to fit into their wannabe group of friends.
You sound a lot like you are afraid of being a reject / outcast, so you do the "cool" stuff everyone wants to fit it. And still, even without drugs, you are lying to your self.
If putting a potato in the ass would be the new thing, I bet you will be the first in the line.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hey I never said I was cool, but I do argue that I'd be a little bit cooler if I did some drugs.
"only idiots do it" Do you know how many cool idiots there are out there?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
At least they know what are they doing, so are more the chances they make damage to them self and not to the people around.
There are more chances you do a REALLY stupid thing drugged.
So yeah, very cool.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
There are definitely large risks involved, but that's what makes it cool.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
There are risk takers.
Doings drugs is not taking a risk (a situation involving exposure to danger), is getting damaged, is a damage getting for sure.
When you take a risk, there are a chance nothing will happens, but you know when you do drugs, something gets damaged, you or someone else, thats for sure. That's not being a risk taker, that's being an idiot because you know the consequences, yet you decide to do it.
It's the same "yolo" behavior you criticized.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You don't 'know' the consequences though. I mean, if you go skydiving, there is definitely a risk involved in that. There is a chance your chute won't open and what not, but your same argument could be applied. "You know what consequences are involved, yet you decide to do it."
There is no guarantee that you will damage yourself or others by doing drugs, but there is a greater chance of doing either of these things than when you're not on drugs.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
"There is no guarantee that you will damage yourself or others by doing drugs, but there is a greater chance of doing either of these things than when you're not on drugs."
I can't believe you are actually serious about that. Are you 10 or something?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I don't know who taught you about drugs, but if somebody was to smoke a joint, they're not going to cause serious harm to themselves or anyone else.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Maybe not if you do it a couple times, but lets wait until you become a serious drug addict? Not that everyone becomes a drug addict as soon you smoke a joint, but one thing leads to another.
As wikipedia says "Smoking an average of one joint a day for seven years, they found, did not worsen pulmonary health". But 1 joint at day is not an grave addiction.
I live in Mexico where drug carters are in every corner of this country, I pretty much knows what's the consequence of acquire a drug and consume it, even sell it may cost your life, you heard of drug dealers being killed each week.
Also I know the people those drug dealers have to kill, and the immoral things they do to sell you a simple joint.
Typical drug addicts like to menace me and my family since I can remember.
Also I know people close to me who doesn't do any harm to anyone and also consume drugs, but I don't know... 1 to 2 joints each 1 month maybe, even less than that, but those are few, because we both know who really make those drug dealers rich.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm one of those guys who blames government for drug cartels though. If they would legalize at least some of these less harmful drugs, it would completely take the market away from the cartels and put it in the hands of legitimate, enforceable business.
Of course there's that other side of the conspiracy that says the drug cartels are throwing money at politicians under the radar in order to keep things illegal so that they can stay in business...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Not really, illegal or not, people will keep buying them. The problem is not the way they acquire the drugs, is the people it self who consume it.
You are from the US, you know the problem the country have about people having weapons, including those very well know school shooting, because the US laws make possible to almost anyone to have a gun. You don't hear that stuff here in Mexico, even with all the crazy drug cartels going on here.
Making illegal or legal is not the problem, people like to make of those privileges to abuse, not use.
Making drugs legals makes a window of disastrous events, including a rise of young people consuming excessive amounts of those drugs, which cause a lot of problems, including people leaving their education, poor cultural development, aggressive behavior.
Even making those drugs legal, people would need money to acquire them, such necessity to please their addictions leads to robbery, assaults or even assassination cases. People even do that for alcohol which is not illegal to consume.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm not saying that legalizing drugs would make people stop using them altogether, I'm saying that it would help prevent a lot of organized crime. Individuals stealing money here and there to pay for their drug addictions isn't nearly as bad as organized drug cartel crime.
Also, even if there are more drugs available, or they are more accessible to more people, that doesn't mean there will be an increase in drug users. People who don't consume drugs for recreational purposes don't make that choice because "oh well, drugs are too hard to get." They choose not to because they're aware of the risks, don't want to chance it, and have more important shit to do.
Besides, how is it helping to arrest someone who does drugs? Is it to punish them? Does the punishment fit the crime? Generally not. People get caught doing drugs, are thrown in prison, and the prison system eventually releases them back into the public often as more dangerous individuals than when they went in. Prison is a harsh environment, throwing someone in there for getting high one too many times is just going to expose them to an even harsher life where they might be released back into society as an angry, fearless, potentially dangerous individual who would rather die than contribute to the society that stole several years of their life over some marijuana. Besides, it's not like they're learning skills in prison to help them when they get out. If they made bad life choices before they went to prison, how would they suddenly know the right choices to make upon their release?
Basically, arresting someone for petty crimes usually isn't "teaching them a lesson," nor is it rehabilitating them. You could argue that it helps keep money away from drug dealers and cartels, but those things wouldn't be allowed to exist if drugs were legal anyway.
As for crimes being committed in order for addicts to get their hands on drugs, (stealing from family members, etc.) do they really need all these lawyer fees, legal fines, and arrest records on top of coming up with the money needed to send their loved one to a rehab center?
Sure drugs can be bad (they still can make you look cool though, I don't care what you say!), but the system designed to prevent them is just making the problem worse, and is attempting an impossible task. People have always found something in their environment to alter their consciousness in some way or another, dating back to the stone age. It's practically human nature, an no amount of punishment from society has ever been able to stop it.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
ยท "It's practically human nature"
Really? Happens that never in my 25 years I have seen no friend of mine, neither me doing anything to "alter" my or their "consciousness" and I don't feel it in my "nature" to do that.
ยท "send their loved one to a rehab center"
Then you are aware there is a damage done by drugs and also and procedure to repair it.
ยท "Besides, how is it helping to arrest someone who does drugs?"
They takes him away from keep doing it, you could be amazed what some times closed in a room alone can make to you. Also it helps to prevent this addict to make any damage to anyone around him since his addiction can make him behave aggressively and offensive to people around him, or how I explained to you, do things he/she have no control and hurt or kill someone without precaution.
ยท "Individuals stealing money here and there to pay for their drug addictions isn't nearly as bad as organized drug cartel crime. "
"as bad as organized drug cartel crime."
And what do you think an organized drug cartel lives for? Most of the money they earn isn't clean money. Is the same kind of violence, I'm really shocked you fail to see that.
Even with legalizations there will still bee some drug cartels who steal drugs from direct providers, make imitations or assault/rob drugs from companies to sell it to a lower price in the streets, c'mon! that isn't new, you know the word "pirate", where you find stoled products being selling in the street (cellphones, TV, video games, computers, car parts, clothes, everything).
Legalization will make people see drugs being consume and buy in public as a normal habit, but it won't decrease the violence around drugs since is an aggressive addiction, AGAIN we know this kind of addiction even from alcoholics, and alcohol is legal, you can get it from providers, stores, companies.
And AGAIN we know the problem US have with people having weapons, and it's the same story.
Legalizing drugs will do nothing to improves the people's life, only drug addicts are the only one asking drugs to become legal so society won't reject they anymore (guess what, they will still rejected), so stop talking about others when it only benefit people like you.

"Happens that never in my 25 years I have seen no friend of mine, neither me doing anything to "alter" my or their "consciousness" and I don't feel it in my "nature" to do that."
This is probably because you grew up in a culture where drugs are largely frowned upon. If you look into different cultures, particularly ones involving indigenous tribes that have little to no contact with the rest of the world, some of them do consume various types of plants found within their environment to alter their consciousness in some way or another.
Even in our modern culture, if you look back a few decades at cigarettes and tobacco. Practically everybody smoked in the 1950's, 60's, etc. because they didn't know the risks involved. Now days it's all about energy drinks and how drinking too many of them (large doses of caffiene, another drug, generally considered harmless that I'm sure you've consumed before) can lead to some adverse effects.
"They takes him away from keep doing it, you could be amazed what some times closed in a room alone can make to you. Also it helps to prevent this addict to make any damage to anyone around him"
This is the same thing that rehab centers do. Personally I'd rather have my tax dollars going towards rehabilitating drug addicts rather than punishing them if they've become so addicted that it causes said problems.
"Even with legalizations there will still bee some drug cartels who steal drugs from direct providers, make imitations or assault/rob drugs from companies to sell it to a lower price in the streets, c'mon! that isn't new, you know the word "pirate", where you find stoled products being selling in the street (cellphones, TV, video games, computers, car parts, clothes, everything)."
This is probably true, but I've never really heard much about 'pirates' having organized crime syndicates and making enough money to live in mansions patrolled by armed guards. The truth is, most people would rather purchase something from a safe, legitimate source if they're going to spend any money at all. Buying from these shadier sources guarantees no quality of product (ripoff/fake iphones for instance) nor does the law carry jurisdiction to allow for lawsuits without getting yourself in trouble. The only reason drug cartels are as powerful as they are now is because they are the ONLY market for the drugs they sell. The drug industry is going to be huge no matter what, and criminals are reaping all the profit. If people were allowed to buy from a reliable, government regulated source, these cartels will crumble and fall once their profit margins are destroyed.
"Legalization will make people see drugs being consume and buy in public as a normal habit, but it won't decrease the violence around drugs since is an aggressive addiction, AGAIN we know this kind of addiction even from alcoholics, and alcohol is legal, you can get it from providers, stores, companies."
You're somewhat contradicting yourself here. You argued that doing drugs isn't human nature, yet you believe that if they WERE legal that everyone would do them as a normal habit? Even I don't believe they're THAT ingrained in our nature. I imagine there would be some increase in drug users, but education about their risks will still deter people. The goal with legalization isn't to make less people use drugs, but to decrease crime and unfit punishments. The slight increase in drug addicts would be negligible compared to the economic boosts and lack of organized crime. I stress the word "organized" here, as that is far more dangerous than petty, individual muggings here and there.
We know the addiction from alcohol, yes, but that didn't go away when it was illegal either. If you look into what life was like during prohibition in America during the 1920's, you'll see that. Organized crime was at an all time high. It even gave rise to a mob boss so notorious that we remember him to this very day, Al Capone.
However, people STILL got their hands on alcohol, there were STILL alcoholics, and STILL crimes being committed as a result. Prohibition of alcohol didn't last very long because everyone finally came to their senses and realized it was doing more harm than good.
"Legalizing drugs will do nothing to improves the people's life, only drug addicts are the only one asking drugs to become legal so society won't reject they anymore (guess what, they will still rejected), so stop talking about others when it only benefit people like you."
