Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?

I know some people consider their life depends on them. I consider they have just chosen an alternative way to die, and more slowly. I respect their right to choose that option.

Ten years ago I was in daily continuous pain and took high strength prescription drugs to control it, and I got addicted.

I weaned myself off them, and began tackling the cause of my pain instead of masking it. A few detox procedures later I was pain free.

I know this won't work for everybody. I just wish to point out that to blindly accept that prescription drugs are the only solution to your problem is not in your best interests.

AS i've said before Margaret, I don't really have much choice, when it comes to meds, I would love to be able to lay off some of the meds I'm on but I have never come across anything in alternative meds which can stem an full blown asthma attack, I too suffer from chronic back pain or did, but I've have had a medicated pain control plan for 2 years and using quite strong analgesics, which now make my life more bearable, so I think I'll carry on doing what I know works for me, but I supose it wouldn't do if we were all the same

Lorazepam - used for anxiety!

Xanax - for panic attacks!

Ibuprofen - pain killer!

Midol - Menstrual cramp treatment!

Amoxicillin - antibiotic for sore throat.

All prescription drugs + alchohol which is legal.

Quite a lot of pills there, I bet most where needed due to having abused hard drugs though.

Again I doubt it would null it, it may at best reduce the effect, most man made drugs have additional crap in them that's not good for the user, including prescription.

Fact is a litre of vodka, drank in one night, is probably more dangerous than 1 tablet of MDMA - street name Ecstasy! It's just that the media has reported MDMA as an evil drug and the "morons" in society believe it! OK!

I consider myself to be lucky - i have a good imagination, an unsullied brain and can reach ecstasy without resorting to substances of any kind.
Like a nice bit of beef myself

Ha ha ha - the point you miss mate is that alcohol is a drug! I don't see why you think it's alright for drink to be legal and not other drugs - when research suggests drink is worse for you than some of the drugs that are currently illegal!

So is smoking, but I gave up when I was told too, always remembering that when I was growing up smoking was cool, I was a seven night a week drinker too, Ale only and never became hooked, now I drink very little, we saw only too well what happens when you play with drugs, you blitz your life and glittering career and end up in a box at 48

Yeah but you can come up with some great stuff in the process while on drugs
My example alice in wonderland



I used to love this as a kid it was like watching a brand new film when someone mentioned it could have been writen on drugs

Based on all evidence unearthed to date, unless you count the occasional use of an over-the counter homeopathic remedy, Lewis Carroll was not a drug user.

You a recreational drug user?

Can we look forward to your posts exhibiting great flights of imagination, touched with genius?

I agree, Gary. The drug link with Alice In Wonderland book was due to the Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit.
