drugs can, in the right hands be tremendous fun, word gets about, people get curious, try some, have fun and spread the word further - thats basically how it works <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I think alot of myths are about over the use of drugs, escapism, rebellion and looking 'cool' spring to mind, none, from what i cna tell are responsible for people trying drugs.
Alot of circumstances are involved in why one specific individual tries a drug for the first time and its impossible to name all of them ! Instead its best to find common links, i tried drugs primarily in a quest to satisfy my 'you only live once, enjoy it' theory on life.
Although you highlight the word 'illeagal' i reckon its much the same as alcohol in why people have a go, if you consider those reasons carefully you'll see similarities !
that's pretty much why i started (after i'd broken through the Governmental Brainwashing in my head), i'm just a pills & gear man with the odd trip thrown in once or twice a year for good measure.
Now as to why i'm still doing them, 1 word, pure and simple - Music. The pair just go hand in hand.

Do u drink alcohol? if u do, why do u drink?
i drink cos i like the effect it has on me, and the same goes for drugs, people wouldnt be taking them if they didnt like the effect <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> it had on them!!!!!
I think your coursework is going to be impressed with your spellings <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I started off from the influence of friends. Well I think that is true of everyone, cos you won't really start it just by yourself would you?
I wasn't suggesting eb was anything but fluffy but if you care to take a gander on the anything goes forum and observe the likes of which that use this site then you may see my polint (no offence guys x)

where do you enjoy mischief ? lost weekend, works, passion, ocean ?
I'm offended though... what would an ocean girl being doing on this site?
I used to go to the lost weekend when hotdog was there loads but have yet to visit (is is zoo love?) I'm a big passion fan and go quite as often os possible. I also like the bomb, esp DIY. and atomic jam at the que club (possibly the best venue in Britain) and like a bit of funky stuff too.... went to see mr morillo at babooshka last saturday.
I likes a bit of everything!
Hows about you?
This is scary, i will be in Calverton in 3 hours time <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> down to Jackson's for my king size <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

So where were we, clubs - i go all over, i was compltely out my head in erm *whispers love shack* last friday ! my fav's are as i say passion, lost w/end, junction 21 in leicester and sometimes we venture up to bed & crasher in sheff, oh nad renaisance - but there moving that <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
When you last go to passion then? I was there the week before last, i just love it... i think it's my home!
What sort of music you really into then? You like techno? If so you should head down to atomic jam... i went nye it was amazing, the venue is superb!
What you do in good old nottm then?
i go to passion about once a month, its transport thats the pain, whenever i get there i end up camped in the chill out bit, i love the atmosphere in there , i've meet so many people its just class <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> and cups of tea from the top bar <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> love it !
as for my life in nottingham, i'm a mad forest fan <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> going to sheff weds tomorrow to see them pre-crasher, i work as a bio-medical micro-biologist - sounds quite good but it isn't <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> erm...... just general stuff i suppose <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
which year did you leave school in ? see if i can remember anyone who was in your year !
I'm suposed to be working (im a student) but its so boring, rather be in the pub quite frankly
i won't broadcast any names over here, i'm quite paranoid about who is looking, but we would of been in the same year so i know some people you probably know <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
if you see a drunken head case wandering the streets in calvo later, in a paul smith cap stop him and say hello, it could be the start of a beautiful relationship <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
seriously though i hope to see you around here, we can compare notes, contacts etc <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
right off into st annes <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> luckily i know a few people there so all will be well <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
catch you soon princess
Seely, a real shit hole. I got out while I could.
Now Barbie...
And where did you here that from. Before you carry on spewing this crap have a good read of this. Rat Poison
What a clever statement. Before you go calling us stupid you should think whether or not you, being so clever, are willing to have a decent enough debate with us. From what you have written so far I'd advise against it.
From what I gather you seem to no pretty much fuck all about what you're talking about, and what you 'think' you know has been fed to you by the government and media.
...stick around for it a bit. You'll proabbly learn a bit. Find out for yourself and do a bit of research just don't be so quick to insult people who actually understand drugs and know what they're going on about.
I don't care really, it's their life and their problems. And I suppose everyone needs a hobby.
There are precious few individual people around, most are sheep who will follow the nearest leader, and do anything to be accepted by society.
I'm talking about users of things like pills, speed, and acid here. Heroine and Crack are another matter. People who start taking them are simply retarded losers who can't see past the next few hours in their lives.
When they fatally overdose, they do the rest of us a favour.
Many things are drugs but only some are illegal. If something is legal does that make it good? Just because it makes the government lots of money and marketing stuff?
(I can imagine if they legalised E the adverts and different brands-GET YOUR MCDONALDS/NIKE/MICROSOFT E HERE)
Not everyone is a sheep, especially after the age of 14/15. Most people take drugs because they want to, because they like it, because it is an enjoyable experience that feels nice, much like eating chocolate or getting pissed.
Arrogant, stuck up, judgemental people like yourself are the ones that that would do everyone a favour by shutting your mouth and maybe broadening your horizons.
Firstly Drugs dont contain stuff like rat poison. Dangerous stuff found in pills is so rare!! so that is bollocks.
Secondly u do more damage to ur body thru drinking. Alcohol has time and time again proven all sorts of liver/kidney trouble as well as lots of other bodily problems.
But u do know what u are gettin with drink. If pills were legal ppl cud regulate what goes into them and they be 100% safe.
hey u mouthy pathetic bitch! how dare u criticise me and tel me to shut my
mouth!? i hav for ur information taken drugs b4, and have been takin them
for the past 4 years. i like them and they make me happy and comfortable wit
who i am. i cnt howeva say tht i take drugs in my skool report so i asked
for ova ppl's opinions, wot i didnt ask for is a lecture off of u!ur
probably sum pretty mommy's skool girl so dnt in futuer mouth me just giv me
da anser to the questions i set ok? this is in reply to ur reply on why do
ppl take illegal drugs?
from Stephen Osborne
So, why not post this on the board? Fucking wanker.

Anyway, whoever sent me the mail, I expect you will fail your coursework as you can't spell and can hardly string a sentence together.
And seeing as you are the one doing the school report I presume that you are the one who is a pretty mummys school boy/girl/whatever you are. Whereas I left school four years ago and no longer live at home.
So get your facts straight before having a go you fool.
