Comment on Dont do DRUGS - do ART by JoJoesArt
I get the feeling that you might not know what you're talking about, and are simply repeating things you've heard equally uninformed people say.
The point is that you need to understand what the definition of drug really is, and how much "drugs" YOU personally and unknowingly consume every single day.
You should take the time to educate yourself on what is harmful and what is beneficial. Prescription drugs kill FAR more people annually than recreational drugs do.
You need to consider for a moment that maybe your elders aren't always right about everything. In fact, looking at the political, economical and environmental state of our entire planet, it's pretty clear that they have NO IDEA what they're doing.
Story Time: When I was a child, I lived in constant fear and oblivion. I had NO attention span, and couldn't pay attention from the beginning of a sentence, to the end of it. No matter how much I wanted to listen, I just couldn't keep focus. I wanted to be a good student, but was just the worst. I was CONSTANTLY in trouble for not paying attention, and was the laughing stock of the entire school. I was bullied constantly, by students AND teacher alike. It was hell. By grade 6, I attempted to commit suicide. I sought help, and was offered "Ritalin", a drug that is supposed to calm one down. However, this drug, suggested by a doctor, can cause horrifying side effects, some of which I had witnessed a friend go through. Here is a list if you're interested. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylph… Now, I refused to take Ritalin. Several years later, just entering highschool, I met some really nice people that didn't make fun of me for my short attention span. They introduced me to pot smoking. This changed my entire life. For the first time in my life, I could concentrate. I could pay attention. For the first time in my life, I was confident, and happy. I quit smoking pot because I was worried I'd become one of these "addicts" that you hear of. It was so easy to quit, and the positive effects where permanent. There was no dependency or addiction. I was finally a functioning member of society, able to hold a thought, or a conversation. Pot saved my life.
If you're opposed to drugs, you should really fully understand WHY.
Drugs aren't all bad, just like prescription drugs are not all good. People in authority aren't always right. Use critical thinking, education, and proper judgement to sort the truth from the lies.
