dx shut the fuck up
I hope we can talk about this somewhat maturely btw because I think there's way too much tendency to overreact and be like "no all drugs are good if you take them slow" or "drugs...will ruin you!" and while I'm not saying there's a middle ground I am not sure you can responsibly smoke a crack rock or that if you enjoy the feelings of some drug you wouldn't just go ahead and do it way too much anyway!
No you're right about this.
People that smoke weed can do it too much, yes. No one isn't saying this. But smoking it too much won't really mess you up, it'll make you broke and waste alot of your time but so will anything else that you spend too much time and money on.
There are drugs out there that are just straight up foul shit that anyone should stay away from. But at the same time there are substances that people with self control can take and still operate just as well as anyone else. But self-control is the key word here.
similarly I think we can all agree that every attempt to legislate drugs has been really awful and that if there was some type of body governing drug use, people who had a high risk of a broken head would not be snorting angel dust.
A ruling body won't do anything, drug education. TRUE drug education and study is the only thing that can teach people what and what isn't just a ridiculous thing to take part in.
I'd say that drugs can be a vehicle for depression. The depression is already there in my opinion and people that already suffer from deep depression and take part in drug abuse will just spiral deeper and deeper into that depression.
So saying DRUGS ARE THE CAUSE isn't necessarily true but I do believe that someone with no self confidence that suffers from deep depression is most likely to become a hardcore drug addict. Because they don't care about what state their bodies/minds are in and will just keep taking and taking that shit no matter what because it makes them feel different and helps stray away from the pain.
