Drugs

[Grey]

Brain cells are not depleted in that sort of way, more the ability of the brain to function is lessened.  If brain cells atrophy and demylinate, the brain shrinks (this happens with direct interface drugs like inhalants and cocaine).  With marijuana and most other drugs, build up or demylination occurs, lessening the ability of the brain to send message but in most cases not harming the brain cells themselves.  Just your average nugget of information.

marijuana is great to me, it expands your mind to a new level.
but most people have the idea that being high is like being stupid, which is there to because as well as broadening your thought it DOES poisen you, which is where the laughter acting dumb come in, but if youve smoked for a while you pass this poisening part because you start getting immune to it, and only your thoughts can realy come into to play.

ive also done mushrooms a few times which is a much higher level of poisening your body, yet still not enough to do actuall dammage (unless done very extensivly or with huge quanitys) mushrooms un explainable and I recommend them for anyone to do once in there life, anyone thats really down to earth, wants to know more about life and its secrets, and wants to learn how there mind works.

anyone else think the crime rate and suicide rate would go down if marijuana was legalized in america? hehe i do it think it help those crazy\'s chill out

just because i promote both these drugs dont think that im for unnatural and dangerous drugs ( acid ecstacy coke herioin that kind of crap) cause that will not get you anywhere and can easily ruin your life by getting addicted or you might take some bad stuff since it is man made it can be made improperly

jsut so you guys know ive never smoked cigaretes, drank beer, or anything liek that, it seems the only reason to do any of those things would be to be popular and get attention... which i dont care very much for

btw when i say that it  will help you think i dont mean its going to help you do you homework better or read a book faster (although it might help you get into it more) it will help you think on life decions understand life, will greatly incline you musicly and artisticly, and help you understand how you work, think and why you are the way you are.

Hello, my name is hitman,

and I...Have a problem with drugs.

I started when i was in 8th grade when me and my friend darrel (we were like twelve at the time) broke into a dope dealers house and found a six pound sack of hash.
We had plans just on selling it to all the burnouts at our school, but little did i know it could make you feel so good... I have been smoking on and off for about four years now. And its safe to say that weed isn\'t as bad as people say it is.

ps. I\'d also like to add the the fact that it lets you freestyle rap better and get ur emotions out to bbum\'s list of helpful things marijuana does for you.

We skipped school once in 9th grade and broke into a house that was just across the street so that we would have a place to stay untill school got out (damn we were stupid) and we poured soap all over the house and raided the house looking for money but all we found was a crack pipe and a huge water bong. The next day we all got caught and expelled and I had to move away. The owner of the shit hole of a house called the cops and they told them all of us who skipped school the day before. Luckily I was gone already because my mom was so pissed at me and she shipped me to my grandparents house the next day, where I am surounded by stupid ass cowboy hicks who all support Bush.

So how old are you link, around 15-18? or older?

That is highly classified secret information.

Damn yo some of these stories are really bad....but  all I have to say is that Cigs are really bad and hella adictive... I started in 6TH grade.....

Yah, West Virginia was a really bad place to be a kid(actually I still am a kid...only 14) cause every kid there thinks that they have to be the worst they can possibly be to get away from their parents....and they extensive forests makes it easy to hide and do drugs and hide stuff...so yeah that bad..

Anyway...I kept on smoking and doing worse stuff till last year....when I got arrested and had a few nights in juvi.....so I have had the hardest time quitting cigs.....I have been off for a year or so....and now I still get cravings........ My oppinon is if you have the abbility to completly avoid doin drugs........Use that abbility...

Actually, it may only feel like this because of some kind of dependency.  Many people say that cigs or weed, etc. helps them concentrate and feel smarter, but all it really does is stop the discomfort from their cravings.  Eventually you really can become dependant on drugs till you feel weak and sick when you don\'t get it.  I\'ve heard some pretty bad stories about people who got stuck with drugs (all in health class of course) so I think that the world would probably be a better place if drugs didn\'t exist.

If drugs are in Planeshift nobody would use them (if they\'re realistic) because they would only hinder you, since in games \"feeling good\" does diddly-squat for you.

...I guess it\'s better that I don\'t know anything different  

Try running a video store in the middle of a pile of hicks, it\'s horrible what I have seen here ;(  ;(  ;(

sleep drugs are good...they make you sleep and you wake up feeling good...without the bad side effects (unless you use too much of course )

I hate trying to sleep for 4 hours and only getting more tired but not going to sleep, its such a bad feeling

aruenko

what you said sounds alot like cigaretes... pot is a totaly different thing, you get no dependancy or addiction, and when you smoke it its not for relieving a craving, although that is explaining exactly cigaretes

and feeling sick and weak when you dont get them, thats hard drugs like heroin or crack, which is dumb in my opinion

[kipp]

not to bore anyone, just my stroy..

about a year and a half ago, i was a big stoner. that lead into experimenting with over the counter drugs such as robotusin and coricidren. which then lead to me thinking i should better myself and go to college. joined a 7 month program and was given 2000 dollars for the exams that i need to pass. well, that 2000 dollars lasted me about a month, most was spent on weed, the rest on ciggs and gas for the truck. a month and a half into the course, i was flat broke and dropped out. now i sit here, sober for 9 months with a 17,800 dollar loan for the next 15 years, (w/ interest = 32k). id say weed really messes with your judgement, but its not harmful if you got control...  whats the devs plans for pot/herbs in this game? maybe not advertise but it would be part of this \"underground\" scene that eventually affects the outcome of this massive world? just a thought...

lol you have nothing on me.

get this:

Me and my friends last summer got so bored (and were so penniless) that we developed a plan to turn suddafederin into speed and sell it to all the fiends at the local projects. I would searchout how to do it on the net and they would steal all the stuff nessary to cook it.
we almost would have went through with the plan (i actualy found the recipe) its just my conciouse came into play and i realised how fu-cked up i\'d become and (luckily) I moved away from palm springs.

I\'ll never do drungs, probably because my dad was an inspector and worked homicide, and my friends step-sister smoked pot. My dad talked about his cases, and one of them had to do with a guy who was smoking weed, when his girlfriend dumped him so he stabbed and killed her parents. He brought home a laptop with the pics of it on them, and when he left the room, I went on it to play \"pinball\" and saw the pics. Kinda gross( I wasnt supposed to be in there). I\'ve also seen a lot of car accidents when people who are high go driving and cant reach the brake fast enough. I dont think weed is terrible dangerous, but I\'ll never take any and I hate the way it smells, living in the meth capitol of the world, it triggers my asthma . My friends sister once was high when I went over their house, and her eyes were all sunken, and she kept kissing the fishtank.   Drugs in planeshift would only be good if they gave you added bonuses. Otherwise I probably wouldnt buy any at all.
