    ...No.
    It means I have an opinion, and nothing is going to change it.

    But think I'm stupid for it if you do so wish.
    I honestly don't care.

    You weren't asked what your opinion was, everyone already knows that. You were asked what the basis for your opinion was, and surely that is the time to tell people what facts you base your opinions on? Unless you don't have any factual basis for your opinion, in which case, why not just admit that you're ignorant of the facts surrounding drug use, it's risks, and the positive effects it may or may not have.
    I think you missed the point.
    I'm stating that I didn't pass it off as fact.
    I never said anything about what anyone asked of me.

    + yes, I have.
    Fact is drugs have bad effects. They are harmful.
    Why anyone would want to even TRY is beyond me.
    + IN MY OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They would have to be stupid to do so.

    Yes I know you didn't attempt to pass it off as fact. But now I'm asking you a direct question. What facts do you base your opinion on? You must've reached this opinion somehow, so what evidence forms it's basis?

    Is it not a fact that drugs cause harm?

    I'm interested to know smellycat, what you think about medicinal canabis use.
    For example: A 70 year old ex-teacher smoking a joint now and then to sooth pain from arthritis.

    That is classed as drug use, does that instantly make the teacher less intelligent?

    They have positive effects too. Not all drugs are harmful to all people. There's two ends of a very big spectrum here.

    The above reason, curiosity, humans take risks.

    In my opinion a person is very stupid to base opinions on little or no scientific evidence or logic. Your opinion is fatuous and you need to do some research into the whole issue of drugs before coming here with a similar opinion.

    You can think I'm stupid, anyone can.
    I do not care.

    I don't need to research drugs before having an opinion on them.
    That's like saying someone who is a virgin can't have an opinion on sex.
    Truth is, anyone can have an opinion on anything.

    Sounds to me you live a very sheltered life, but fair enough. Your not the only one to think like that, im sure me nan thinks along the same lines anyway.

    Its 'beyond' you because you dont have a fucking clue. Thats all. I dont know one person in University who hasnt taken an illegal drug, yet there all on their way to earning a degree. Stupid or just wanting a different experience, all part of 'growing' up if you ask me.

    But do you agree and opinion based on thoughts alone and not information, may be an incorrect one?

    The two situations are not analogous.

    Why am I even typing to you? You've shown you have no respect for people on this site, use crass and ill informed arguments and quite clearly are annoying.

    Degrees don't really count as intelligence.

    LOL @ living a sheltered life. hardly, my friend.

    Also, you don't have to try something to have a 'fucking clue'.

    + that is their choice. I honestly don't care how many people take drugs, I'm not going to be one of them.
    It's my choice, and I'm not going to try something just because everyone else is. That is not who I am.

    + If the 'having the same opinion as your nan' was meant as an insult; I'd rather share her opinion, than most of the youngsters of today.

    Define harm. And explain the harm you're referring to, and which specific illegal drug causes that particular form or harm.

    Anyway, you seem to have fully admitted that your opinion has no basis in facts, evidence or logic, so you have nothing to bring to any debate on the subject. There are plenty of people who have a similar stance to you, but their opinion is respected by those who disagree with them, because they have based it on looking at the facts and the entire issue, rather than their own gut feeling. Try it some time, and you might actually be respected and listened to.

    LOL. I'm not stupid enough. Sorry mate.

    No you are annoying because you have consitantly failed to justify your opinion with any facts or logical argument. Fair enough you don't have to justify anything you don't want to, but then why do you insist on repeating it then, and remaining in this thread, which is actually about the media representation of drug use? They're the actions of a troll.
