The key difference is the objectivity, the first of the two clearly isnt.
Certainly, its not really even just the data collection which is important its the use that data is put to. Or even if the data is right at all, I give you the example of 'MDMA causes parkinsons' or would that be that the scientists gave the rats massive doses of methamphetamine by mistake, ooops.
Absolutely, and that is where what you were saying about the intent is important, because the results can be skewed in whichever way you choose to interpret them...
I remember watching an Opra where they interviewed a Esctasy user, she tested her pills, made sure she didnt take too many etc. did all she could to reduce the risk. Then they tell her it causes holes in her brain, physical holes, she was really shocked and was going to stop. When she learns it was a lie is she going to trust the government again?
I have heard someone say that the UN is leaned on by the US if they put 'harm reduction' into reports, it suggests that drug use is being condoned.
And of course anti-US retoric is so easy and a lot of the time undeserved, but in terms of the 'drug war' most of it is completely deserved.
and i object to the term 'mis-use'...if you put a pill in your mouth you are using it correctly, there is no correct way of using it and so there cannot be any opposite...stop loading the education in such a one sided way that it prevents people from reaching objective conclusions, and y'know what?
Maybe not everyone will think its a good idea ON BALANCE rather than under pressure...
In some ways it does prevent use, many cannabis users are put off, but it doesnt stop troublesome or harmful drug use, in fact it probably makes it worse.
ORANGE JUICE! Lots of.
Orange juice is no miricule cure, it doesnt have any specific action, though the acidic nature of it may help the body expell the amphetamine type drugs quicker.
this is the worst I have ever had it. I had 3 pills within 6 hours and a little more than a 1/4g of ketamine on Saturday. I have felt so miserable, doubting everything etc since Tuesday. It was my birthday on Tues :birthday: so I wasn't a happy bunny.
Need to get me some valerian and some 5htp for when I get them this bad again.
