are there more people taking drugs these days? or has it always been that way and i've only realised it the last few years.
could be something to do with all the indie rock and roll dohertys about. but wasnt the sex pistols in the same boat

and i certainly don't think it's about the indie/rock music!
What because drugs were never in rock and roll before?
Hell, Rock n Roll has ALWAYS been full of drugs people. Since day 1.
Metal... just IS drugs. Nearly all groups have/are on something.
New RnB, hip hop, rap, whatever.. all sounds the same these days... used to be different generes and sounds. It glamorises the drug dealer culture, gansta, etc.
Drugs were always about. Now they are just more in the light.
HAha.
know what you mean about in 10years time. fuck that. dont eat those pink smileys.
been discussing this subject tonigh and came to conclusion that drugs getting took at a younger age. cant remember how we got to that
and those pink smilies are fine if you have the good ones ! the ones floating around northern ireland are fine (powdery, taste like e's) .. ive heard of shitey (speedy) ones floatin about england .. but the pill is 'waxy' and doesnt taste like ecstasy so its a give away
and there's definatly an increase in the amount of people taking drugs around here, espically at a young age ... the age of some people smoking weed is quite scary .. and even tho just smoking it is quite bad, the amount they smoke is even worse!
and ive definatly noticed an increase in coke usage
Cocaine is the most troubling though, some Italian scientists recently tested the Thames and found we're using more coke in London than ever before.
Whats scary is by every measure use is going up really quickly, yet price is stable or going down, this means a lot more is coming into the country.
nice to hear you enjoyed it, i could do with some morphine with my performance at snooker tonight
Are quality levels remaining stable as well?
Coke's still got a stigma attached to it which E has overcome i feel...a load of people i know who happily pop E's shy away from coke...however just like E i'd presume this too will be a stigma overcome...and although I do the stuff, it's definitely not something i'd recommend.
Shit...I feel like an old man these days..."isn't weed or beer enough!"
I believe so, but obviously its nigh on impossible to actually say, especially given I havent been within a mile of cocaine (knowingly) for several years.
I'd actually argue that cocaines alure is still strong, it still has that stupid glamour image where as E is now a dirty kiddy drug which is seen as immature and not for adults.
This is why MDMA powder seems to be more popular, it is a way for older users to use MDMA without having to use pills, which is what the younger people do.
