A drug is a DRUG to me. . What do you think ?!
Question: I think that all drugs are DRUGS ! I mean yes, some are illegal and need just a dose to get to a certain wanted 'high' but even over the counter drugs are horrible drugs. All you really need to do is take twice the dose, if not more to achieve a certain 'high.' People die everyday overdosing or mixing drugs. I mean I just don't understand why people hate illegal drugs when over the counter drugs are just the same.
Agree or disagree. I'm not going to pick the best answer winner to someone who agrees with me or not I just want a strong option.
Thanks.

you want a "strong option" to what? People are solely responsible for what they put in their bodies, if they choose to take drugs, be they illegal or legal, for purposes other than they were intended, they have to pay the price for doing so. They may pay immediately with illness or loss of life, or they may pay later with job loss, loss of family, self respect and money, but inevitably they pay. Problems arrise because, everybody pays along with them. Prisons are full of drug addicts, and we all pay to support them, families are put on the street because of addictions, and we all end up paying for them, and addicts cause loss of life to people other than themselves when they abuse and drive. Still, ultimately, they are responsible for what they have done and choose to do, no one else.
all i would like to say is pot is not a drug its a herb from the earth drugs are tainted and have all types of chemicals in them....no body has ever died from smoking pot..i dont think it should be considered a drug...
I have always felt that drug abuse is the same whether you smoke crack or take pain pills when you are not in pain. I really like the commercial with the drug dealer who has had his business go away because kids are getting high from their parents' medicine chest. I have never liked to take medication of any kind although I take several meds now due to some health issues. I am trying very hard to improve my health so that I don't have to take so many.
I don't understand it either. People take so many drugs to get to sleep, to treat depression, to treat pain, all come with serious side effects. They even prescribe THC, the main active chemical in Marijuana, but the moment someone says they have smoked marijuana, then they are horrible drug users. Meth, cocaine, lsd, pcp, etc....those are in a category alone though in my opinion. They are extremely dangerous and addictive.
ah- there's another question, what exactly do you call drugs. Some illegal drugs are man-made with chemicals, others are grown naturally and harvested (pot, opium). I think the reason people hate illegal drugs so much is the image attached to them. One addicted to illegal drugs is depicted as lower class murderers, thieves...users are living in squalor not taking care of themselves or children, just living for the next "hit". One really does not hear of over the counter drugs addiction. Presciption drug addiction seems to be associated to the upper class... and their deaths are met with more sympathy than when od-ing on illegal drugs...
I disagree. Over-the-counter drugs and legal prescription drugs have been tested at specific doses to perform a function that is beneficial. Whether that be helping a diabetic manage their blood sugar or helping me to get over the flu.
The problem occurs when people take LEGAL drugs incorrectly or mix them without the doctor being aware they are doing it. There is a reason why the dosages are specified.
All "drugs", legal or not, cause your body to react a certain way. It's pretty much an allergic reaction your body has to the foreign substance introduced to/into it, that makes drugs useful or harmful. If you need it, take it, if you don't, then leave it and the people who do alone! We have the right to freedom of speech, we should have the same rights with our drug use, as long as we aren't harming anyone/anything other than ourselves.
a drug is a drug thats why its called drugs. Yes some drugs get you high and others make you feel better. I just don't think you should put over the counter drugs in the same catergory as prescribed drugs because prescription drugs get you high thats why you need a doctors note and you gotta be stupid to try to get high of a over the counter drugs.
i agree and disagree, but apparently you dont know much about drugs on the "getting high" part. cough syrups and maybe benadryl are the only over the counter drugs you can get high on
drugs are great when used correctly. prescription drug use does need better oversight though, a large percentage of elderly hospital visits (ive seen estimates as high as 30%) are due to adverse drug events. pharmacies dont do a lot and have enough trouble managing people's therapy as it is (i would say oversight is poor on average at best) and then we have retarded companies like walmart offering a few prescriptions for $4 and mail order firms offering a discount and 90 day supply so the penny pinching old people get half their prescriptions there to save a couple dollars and half at the old place which makes things even worse. and people wonder why there are so many drug misadventures in the united states...
Yes, I've seen some people like you who
decide what is and what is not and will not
change their mind.
The problem is that you have used your
brain but have NOT come to a viable conclusion. Your conclusion is based on
your own opinions and not on fact.
I would say you have an "attitude" in that
you even told us how you would pick the best answer...like we could care less.
You may group all of life's intricacies together and call them whatever, but
that does not make you right and everyone
else wrong. I really think all you want to do
is argue.
