Sudden want to do drugs..

Have you done those drugs before? I would highly recommend that you stay away from cocaine and ecstasy. Weed will make you lazy and uninteresting, but I don't consider it to be a dangerous substance.

 

Um, I really hope you are joking. In no way does doing drugs have to do with being gay. Drugs are bad, they will ruin your life, that's all I have to say.

 

I think you already know the answer and know better. Drugs do nothing for you but become an expensive addiction and hurt your body. They really aren't worth trying.

 

Drugs aren't worth trying. I mean, just read the posts ahead of me. Stay strong, and don't do it.

 

I could very, very weakly understand you wanting to do it if you had a good reason, but you don't sound like you even know why you want to.

To try something potentially permanently-harmful for no apparent reason (or evident desire) is not a good idea.

 

I'm sorta the same way, I am kinda tempted to try them to see what the big deal is about. But I also know they are gross. I joke around about drugs and stuff a lot and mainly thats probably because I am curious, but at the end of the day, I would rather not do that stuff to my body.

 

I say no. Don’t do it. It’s not a mental health thing but that doesn’t make it right to experiment either. There is nothing beneficial about hard party drugs.

"I think it has to be associated with me being gay” 1) get that out your head now because that is the SILLIEST thing I’ve ever heard and 2) don’t add to a stereotype if that’s what you think.

You are smarter than that I’m sure. You don’t have to try drugs to prove anything to anyone or to even have a good time. It’s illegal, yea, but it’s DUMB too.

 

Trust me as a futer cop and as someone who has seen first hand what they do rotting out your teeth and all sorts of other yucky stuff. They make you look like death. And the people around you it affects them badly. Trust me as a familey member of several diffrent addicts. It hurts watching someoone you love do that. Watching them slowly die. Its not pleasent its heart breaking and quite frankly. All the addicts iv seen all skinny and toothless hairless or in the process of loosing all that. Its freakin scary. Like terrifyingly

Now if you do honestly want to at least stay safe no sharing ANY thing and preferably try pot it wont kill you or hurt you. Just ... Stay safe and know you have us to talk to no matter what.

 

Jay, I am totally sneaking on this forum, but don't. <3

And this is coming from the perspective of science. Drugs right now have binding sites that affects multiple parts of your body, and long term usages can create this dependency that... (in psychological sense), send you down a disastrous path.

I mean, I have sexual urges and all, but I don't go like hump every thing I see.

 

Well, what is the source of the interest and the attraction to the idea? What is it about doing drugs that you think is going to be different?

 

So the reason you want to take drugs is so you can forget about the current problems you have? Taking drugs might make you feel "good" however by taking them you could become addicted and this will just create another problem. So by not taking drugs you're just preventing another problem from being added to your life.

 

I would highly suggest not even trying any hardcore drugs. Marijuana every once in a while may be fine, but don't try the hardcore drugs. A family friend of ours got on cocaine a few years ago when he was about 22, and since then he had a daughter. He is trying to clean himself back up for her, and stay off but he keeps slipping up. He was doing well for a few months, but then he got back on cocaine just a few nights ago. He ended up grabbing a gun, and trying to commit suicide. He is now in a mental hospital until they can make sure he is not going to try to commit suicide again. Drugs will ruin your life. Same with ecstacy. Drugs are illegal for a reason. They are highly addicting, and they can kill you. Think about the affect it will have on your loved ones. There is nothing good that come of doing drugs.

 

If you are having problems and want to feel better I sugest talking to someone. Doesnt have to be a therapist just find some one to talk to and that will help tremendisly. Trust me on that iv had similar feelings but instead of drugs I was hurting my self. I found someone to talk to and it realy helped.

 

I would suggest you stay away from the harder drugs. I lost my car, apartment, relationship with parents and friends because of hard drugs. It took me years to get over the panic attacks cocaine caused me to have. They're seriously just not worth it. Sure, you think I can try it once and then I can give it up...but then the next thing you know you're forking over your entire paycheck every week to chase a high you'll never reach.

About marijuana, however...I can't in good faith tell you to stay away from it. Occasional marijuana usage is just fine, but it's still expensive. I quit a few months ago for monetary reasons, but before that I was a dean's list student and I smoked often.

 

Hello,

I'm not an expect on drug or health.. however I know a bit about the biology behind it, so here a little summary about one of the effects of hard drugs.

I'd really recommend staying away from the harder drugs at least. Don't think that extasy is a soft-drug and entirely safe to use either. The problem with many hard drug are, that they cause a lot of neurotransmitters (molecules used in the brains for signalling other brain cells) to be released, giving you a good feeling.

The trouble with this is that you get overstimulation of your brain cells. Brain cells adept to overstimulation by reducing the amount of receptors for these molecules. This means that a same amount of neurotransmitter causes a lighter response in the brain cell afterwards.

The troubles with this are at least: 1) you need more drugs to get the same feeling, causing addiction 2) If the drug you use makes you happy, you might end up depressed if you're not using the drug, because the brain cells have adapted so you'd need more neurotransmitter.

If read studies about extasy that this reduction in receptors (the adaptation) may stay for about 7 years :eek: If you wish to read these articles, I think you can find them with google or give me a tell and I'll try to find it

The explanation above is mainly about extasy and other hard drugs and doesn't explain all effects of using drugs. I haven't read many conclusive studies about marihuana yet, although it seems it's at least less addictive.

An other reason not to use drugs I haven't read in this thread here yet, is that many drugs finance criminals and is thereby immoral. All that cocaine going from South-America to the USA is causing many deaths a year in Mexico and other countries.

Should you however use drugs like marihuana (and I wouldn't recommend it) please inform yourselves first about the effects and use in a safe place and with someone who didn't use it who can call for help if things go wrong. Also many drugs can have wildly different concentrations of their active substance, so beware of that (Many tourists coming to the Netherlands for drugs overdose because the concentration of THC in marihuana is a lot more than they expected here).

tldr. Most drugs are dangerous and can cause serious damage, and are unethical to buy.

 

If my leg slips under a lawn mower, taking a bunch of morphine doesn't make the bleeding stop. Don't do it.
