Nearly half of 15 year olds have tried drugs while 31% have tried cannabis in the last year...the 45% have tried drugs, sniffed glue or harder substance at some point in their life..what does this say about the state this country is in, most people i know can get access to numerous drugs within a couple of hours, i wouldn't be alone there with many others around England.

a) the current drugs policies are failing
b) all drugs should be legalised so the government can control the supply of drugs and regulate them, not to mention tax them so the money can be put to use in the nhs and education
do you think that all people just sit around smoking their heads off and mashed all day and night long?no, people are recreational users, they go out, use drugs, have hobbies.
I guess you can make up stats for anything though. 49% of people know that.
Probably true..90%, i know alot of people who smoke cannabis.
all these 15 year olds sniffing glue, do they sound sophisticated or more likely are they bored townie fucks clogging up the streets.
if they had a hobby,lets say tennis. they would be busy having fun playing their sport instead of doing drugs.
but of course i'm wrong. obviously.
yep
no, these type of glue sniffing wasters aren't all people, how many recreational drug users do you know molo that have jobs and hobbies?
i was only on about these fuckers. i couldn't give a shit about 'recreational drug users'
I could count on one hand the number of people I know at Uni that haven't done it.
Damn students :rolleyes:
glue sniffing is total different to a cannabis smoker...what a waste of time sniffing glue :rolleyes:
When it starts raining they'd be back inside doing drugs again though :rolleyes:
aw well, what can you do.
Don't be pathetic. People have got their own motives, and their own mind, if a near adult, or indeed a fully grown adult, wants to use drugs, then not much will stop them.
My mother is one of the best around, she does her utmost to look after me, she loves me, and I love her. Nothing will replace her and our relationship is perfect. But, I use class A drugs at the weekend. Automatically, does t hat means she's a bad mother?
No, I have my own mind, my choice to use drugs week in, week out is my own, absolutely nothing to do with my upbringing and/or my parents.
People can't go looking for something to blame, if they use drugs, they use drugs, they cannot blame the Government, their parents, their education, anything. Get a grip people. :eek2:
Go z0ma, it's ya birthday, we gon' party like it's ya birthday, we gon' smoke mary jane like it's ya birthday....
Bu...bu...but, wasn't it my birthday yesterday? And didn't we drink bacardi?
Heh. You, make me laugh. :mad:
Live you fookers!
:yes:
but weed isn't for everyone.
How do you know if you don't try?
i have tried and it is for me
but there are some who have tried and who don't like it.
Then by all means, they shouldn't do it ever again. Just the fact that they tried it is good enough.
Tennis? Anyone can take up tennis as a hobby, but people still sniff glue! Its never gonna be rid off and thankfully its not the majority. I went through a phase of sniffing gas (ok ok I need no lectures!) only for a couple of months, I was about 14, I had hobbies, a good background etc and I played sport. I can honestly say there isnt much that would have stopped me from trying it, I just grew out of it. I realised the dangers aswell. Molo hun, im not doing this to argue with you and im not saying either if us is right, its just me view :cool:
btw isnt this in the wrong forum?
I totally agree with you. Some parents just let their kids do whatever they want, and are too scared or soft to out their foot down, or worse still, they dont care. Some people dont deserve kids. This is prolly one of the biggets reasons why I think I wont have kids, I cant just look after myself, neevr mind another life:eek2:
we live in a sad sick world, and i think the use of drugs reflects that. we don't enjoy the simple pleasures anymore.
fast food, fast cars, chemicals to have a good time, anti-ageing creams, rock stars, pop stars, skeletal models, mobile phones.
makes me sick.
ooh i'll let you off then, only cos its you
As for kids doing any drugs, cannabis, booze, caffine, etc. I do think it is a matter of concern, I heard of some new research yesterday suggesting that chronic use of cannabis as a young teenager can lead to mental health issues later on. But as with all research of this type there is a problem with causation and colrelation.
