addiction, which is not the case of all substances evoked under this term, lile LSD for example, which is not addictive at all.
I prefer the term "power plant", or "lucidogen" (instead of hallucinogen).

LSD is addictive, heh.

Do you have any scientific or even trustworthy anecdotal refernces to that? Every reference I've seen states clearly that LSD is not addictive. Surely people can enjoy the experince so much that they find it difficult to stop, but that's no different to computers, sex, prog music etc., just as oliver has said on other threads!

what ordinary people do not understand is that with only rights, society lies in a total chaos; however, with an appropriate amount of control, society becomes better organized, more efficient and better sensibilized to common goals. overdose of rights are for parasite people living on the social welfare who think other people than themselves are responsible of their status. I hate P.E.T. Trudeau' human rights chart, because he contributed this way to put some chaos in Canada!

 

WTF are you talking about?!

I don't see the connection with having rights and duties on one hand, and the subject of "drugs". Please explain.

Anyway, I, myself, have taken an anti drug stance since I got clean, which was a terrible process, but I don't think discussions of the matter should be forbidden. It's actually an important life experience in my opinion. Granted it would be nice if everyone was smart enough to stay away from them, but most people aren't. I like to think that people will learn from their mistakes however, and walk away more knowledgeable from it, with more life experience, and maybe, just maybe, they'll walk away less naive from that, I know I did. I don't like the idea of drugs enhancing music, to me the music is great the way it is, and I don't need a substance to enhance my listening experience. On the other hand, however, I don't like the idea of a subject being taboo on a forum with a reasonably intelligent populus, as long as the substances are talked about in a intelligent way, and not advertized or advocated.

That's my two cents on the subject.

But could you please explain me why it's hypocritic saying that one doesn't support drug consume since you're obviously much more intelligent than me. I admit I'm addicted as well to some so called "legal" or "light" drugs like caffeine, nicotin and alcohol to some extent and I don't say that these are necessarily healthy. But I don't think that's the topic of this thread, it doesn't imply which prog fits best to my morning coffee and cigarette or to my evening beer. Sorry I can't see any hypocrisy in my reaction![IMG]style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley5.gif'" height=17 alt=Confused src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" width=19>Any of you mind-bended and stoned guys can say what you like, but I'll stick to my opinion that this site is not the right place for such a thread!

Are you another Bush Crusader?     Ok, tell the moderators: "Advisory Explicit Lyrics On This Topic" and maybe your hypocrisy will be save...

This is true, but without emphasizing neither opinnions against or towards drugs, I fear it's difficult to see where "the thin red line" is drawn until you have passed it. So be carewful what ever sh*t you dump to yourself.

That's definitely a valid point - but I wasn't talking exclusively about a physical limit - more about how much/what an individual feels comfortable with taking - I'm sure some people are happy to die a few years younger if they can drink and smoke all their lives, and that's their own choice - I'm too scared of death to think like that, and so it's nearly always well over six or eight weeks between taking any drugs other than alcohol - perhaps not last week but I was on holiday in the Netherlands . I think I'd definitely better not live there  and it reinforces my anti-decriminalisation stance no end.

Here in Finland people mostly do plain boozing. There's a lots of winos, and it's even socially respected to be a serious drinker. The amount of vodka you can drink and the number of persons you kill when going to restaurant are the subjects that make a REAL MAN. 

Our goverment has a monopoly of liquor sales, and the taxes of alcohol we're about 70% of the price. Last year the goverment had to decrease their prices, as the restrictions of importing alcohol to your own use from abroad were removed. Now all alcohol hazards are growing, as those people who send all their available money to drinking can get about two times more booze as they used to. Violent incidents, childrens custody charges, sickleaves from jobs, drunk-driving accidents and alcohol based sicknesses, they all have rised along with the countionously growing consuption of alcohol. So at least IMHO there are lot more important issues to get hysterical about than "drugs", whatever one even want's to comprehend with that term.

I agree with you hdfisch, knowing that there are children here (including me!) that might be open for such suggestions, this is not the appropriate place to discuss drugs or how magnificent they can be. I mostly try to ignore that thread.

I object to being called unreasonable, just for not sharing your opinion!

I think your being completely illogical, unreasonable and possibly mad!

Even though I wrote the above I can see your point about the thread, in that people were quite open and frank about taking hard drugs! This  is after all  private affair that concerns the individuals involved. How you can call me unreasonable for having the occasional joint though i just don't understand!

what would happen if you overdose on prog? 

can anyone give examples of people who have come close to death overdosing on yes or genesis?  I came close a few years back with Camel.  I battled for 2 weeks in a coma, finally realising that a song within a song was only a song and not actually a song within a song even though I thought it was a song which was within a song given that it's name is song within a song.

That's fine abyssyinfinity I don't mind that, I do as well every now and then (unfortunately lethan 2-3 times a year), but I just felt the need to react when I realized that the topic went beyond canna, stuff which really has much more harmful effects than this one and might lead to addiction to real lethal stuff. I don't like to be a preacherman and I hate to be accused as a supporter og GW Bush, I just wanted to call up for more awareness, since I don't think every boy who has his first look on this page is really mature enough for such things.

spectral, I might exaggerate and over-react a bit, but guys like you just belttle such things. I don't agree with your point, it's a bit too naive. Finally reading through most of the posts in this thread I'm not quite sure whether everybody speaking about using drugs was really mentally mature enough (regardless of age) to be aware of all the consequences. On the other hand since I finally found enough time to go through all these posts in detail I was surprised in a positive way that in deed most of the posters were not supporting to take drugs. Some were admittedly only weed-consumers (that I don't mind by the way, since I did as well already) but the ones advocating stuff which goes beyond this where really in a minority. Maybe a reason for my over-reaction is the fact that I lost someone in my family just because of over-dosing of heroin. I really hope that no one of you guys come that far and I don't want to say by this that you're going necessarily into that direction.So like this I'd love to close this thread and not discuss anymore about this topic!

Go on and smoke your weed or spliff if you like, but don't exaggerate it and don't try something else!There isn't anything better than this one!

Prog,peace and love forever!

Well there isn't anything that could be said against this! But these are a bit of different and even more complex problems I guess!
