Alcoho is classified as a hard drug by the prohitive government itself while MJ is considered a soft one (sweet paradox).
Alcohol affects central nervous system (among others)while MJ doesn't.

Yes, but some people had their life /health ruined by sugar, cigarettes, various kinds of legal "pills" -anti depressant, anxyolitics, tec...- which are very dangerous IMO.

Drugs mean nothing except addiction.

And you can be addicted to TV, sex, game, money, work, computer...

Some "narcotics" aren't addictive either. I am not propagating drugs here, but there is a big difference between what certain states declare "legal" and "illegal" and what actually is harmful. Alcohol is probably the drug that causes the most problems, yet this drug is legal almost everywhere. Most car accidents with lethal results happen under the influence of alcohol.
As to living to use more and stronger drugs when using other drugs: Not true. I know a lot of people who smoke dope on a quite regular basis, some of them taking the occasional trip from time to time, but they are perfect members of society. Again, I don't want this to be misunderstood as propagating drugs, I just want to correct a certain misapprehension of drug users.

I believe for the purposes of this discussion, by "drugs", people are referring to illegal drugs, the kind they teach you about in elementary school and say "drugs are bad, mmmkay..."

so as for illegal "mind expanding" drugs... no.

cigarettes.... no.

cigars.... mmm tasty... on occasion.

but as an Engineering student i have 2 "legal" drugs as my greatest allies: caffeine on the weekdays and alcohol on the weekends!
... and of course prog music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The term "drug" is inapropriate and confusing.
Drug means either medicine than psychoactive substance.

To talk about MJ, mushroms, peyote, LSD, etc... i much prefer "lucidogen", "conscious ilimitators"...as these substances don't involve physical addiction.

I think that evrybody should be free to grow any plant he/she likes in her garden or on the balcony, or under lights...Here it's forbidden to pichk some kinds of mushrooms. I find it shameful as nature is not government's property, but everybody's property.

On another hand, the government allows sale of very dangerous (and addictive) pills, only to satisfy pharmaceutical trusts.

Society mostly accepts alkohol as of the fully legal drug (we all know how US ended when thay prohibited alcohol), while narcotics are not acceped. But I think it all depends on people - some will be addicted from their frist cigarret/beer/joint some will never be. Part of the addicted will end up drinking vodka/spiritus or taking "hard" drugs and some not. It`s all in your brain
 

I drink coffee, lots of coffee.

I also smoke the occasional cigarette, cigar, sometimes even the Chiba.

Marijuana isn't a big deal to me. Going home and smoking a joint after work is like going home and having a few beers. No big deal.

OK...you can't call a drug ,something that's legal in some countries ....if you do that you should say that coffe & beers are too...I personnaly don't do a lot of stuff..Don't drink either...But even if i did it would be inapropriate to talk about it here .....It's not something to be proud of in my opinion...

Hm.. I'm only 16, drugs I think are very far from me. Even though I know of people who're smoking and even though that once a year I go to a place where taking a puff is almost as easy as drinking water I don't do it. I know i may become addicted without any control of it, therefore I will not try it. Other than it, I do not look differently at people who do use drugs and don't think anymore than that. People who do use drugs aren't any 'lesser', I know how it is to be temped, and these like that always start from curiosity, so there is no argument here..

However, I do smoke cigarrets on a regular basis, since age of 14 and I pretty much love alcohol.
When it comes to prog I doubt I will enjoy being stoned, but when it comes to other music in parties (mostly heavy stuff) I like to drink my ass off. I know there are some heavy progressive sh*t, but I think you know what I mean.

Alcohol and Cigarrets are the stuff for me. I hope it won't get any worse from here.

That's it.
