Well, Ok... not everything. It has been awhile... too long really. I havnt been on this blog for months and never really thought about the premise behind it in a long time. But now that I read my last posts, I am suprised I havnt stuck with it. Since I havnt read these posts in such a long time, I have forgoten I had written them, and they were good. So, I shall continue. Continue my tyrants about the world. So whats todays topic? Well, One that has become very prevalent in the young culture today: Drugs. There, I said it. Out of the 4 posts here on this Blog, 3 of them are against major belief systems. I seem to be on a roll. Well, ok. Drugs. The main question on everybodies minds today, or at least in the past few years, How bad are they? Are they as bad as the government and those "Live above the Influence" commercials say? Well in the most plain words as I can put it, is no. Most (I say MOST) drugs are blown out of proportion. Way out of proportion. How you ask? Well lets take Marijuanna for example. It is one of the most talked about drugs, most commercialized drug, and most likely the one drug everyone knows about. Health class and government paid organizations say how evil this drug is and How it makes you stupid and lazy. To the contrary, Weed has many benificial effects. (Remember, I am not condoning the use of any illegal drug. Even though I think its wrong that its Illegal, you should still, not break the law. ) Weed is used to treat glaucoma patients and is known to be relaxer. It has also been shown in one study that people with certain diseases that make them feel incredible pain in their last hours, smoking Marijuanna lessons the pain, and making it easier to speak to their loved ones before he/she dies. The doctor who suggested that treatment, which brought closure and happiness to the family, is now no longer a doctor. With that being said, let me make a comparison. Which is worse, a plant that has been soaked in chemicals, some stuff taken out, more stuff added, proccesed in chemicals again, rolled and a little filter stuck at the end... OR, a plant rolled in paper and smoked? Which sounds worse. If you said number one, you would be right. BUT, are we talking about an illegal substance? Nope, number one described Ciggaretes, and Number two was Marijuanna. Have you ever heard of a Weed Overdose? How about a Weed Death? How about a Marijuanna related death? No? Well thats cause there isnt. BUT... IM sure you have heard of people dying because of Mcdonalds Food, Suicide, Terrorism and Drung Driving. BUT, do you see any commercials warning people of those dangers? Trying to help those people? NO, but millions of dollars are spent on the fictatious "Live above the Influence" commercials. A real statistic says that 30 Million teenagers this year alone (2006) have made suicide attempts. Out of the 300 Million in the united States, 30 million of people tried to commit suicide. And where is the commercials trying to help them, trying to get them help? Non existint. Now, I have done my research, and I know what im talking about. My friend, he put it very nicely
"Live above the
Ignorance."
My views on drugs: As long as you have done your reasearch, made sure that what you have is pure, and that you are not doing one of the three no-no drugs (Heroin, Cocaine and Crack; I say, NEVER DO THEM, let me repeat; NEVER DO THEM), I really dont care. Go ahead and smoke a blunt, the only harm really done would be to your lungs, I mean your smoking. Other than that I really think that Most Drugs arnt as bad as they say they are, and some should be legal. Lets spend those millions from Drug Commercials and do something that matters, like helping all the Emo Kids.. oh those poor Emo Kids
