Little Miss Sunshine quote? And as far as I'm concerned, people can do whatever they want as long as they aren't hurting innocent people. As far as drugs go, many innocent people DO get hurt. Mostly because they are illegal and people will do whatever it takes to get their hands on it. From my own personal experience, drugs often turn some people into less desirable individuals that I do not wish to associate with. This applies to alcoholics as well. This is an example of a legal drug that can also **** up innocent people's lives. Just because something is legal doesn't mean a damn thing. ANYTHING in excess will **** you up. |

I notice that this is legal and I think its kind of stupid. I don't understand why people would drop to the level to go out with the thought of getting so wasted they couldn’t even walk. It really is beyond me. I like drinking but with the intent of getting drunk I really just don’t see the point. I’m not against people who drink, more power to you but to just get drunk is stupid.
The reason why I’m so against getting drunk is because, my grandfather used to get so drunk that he would beat my grandmother all the time. I never really could agree with something like getting drunk for “fun” when I know you are very prone to doing something stupid..This is just how I look at things.. |

Not understanding it because you've never done it isn't going to convince anyone. I never understood why someone would want to get drunk until I tried it. Typically, one gets drunk for the first time as a form of experimentation (I wonder what it'll feel like if I have some more...) and then they discover that they enjoy the experience. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

In the case of the 15 year old girl, she is not of age to give consent, period. Therein is the problem. The law determines that she is not of reasonable capability in mind and experience to make that decision for herself. So it falls to the boy having "coerced" her into the act. He is of "reasonable capability in mind" and should know better than to participate in the act with someone below the age of consent. So it isn't really so much that it happened, but that he allowed it to happen. So it's seen as her being taken advantage of by an older male. This system has it's flaws but it is the system, and while age is not the sole determining fact of one's mental capacity and judgement, it does play a large part. |

You see, I've been raised in a family where the only alcohol that was around was wine and sometimes beer. I had never seen someone drunk or high until high school and I was educated with principles of a certain freedom in what I could do. If I wanted to take a beer, I could just take one from the fridge and my parens wouldn't mind. My point is, I have never been tempted by any of these before, and I've come to the point where it actually makes me sad whenever I see someone I care for a lot drunk (let's say a girl I find attractive or a mate for whom I had a lot of respect). I don't actually know why I have so much hate for drugs. I don't really care if someone else takes them, it's none of my buisness and I'm not the one deciding for what the can or cannot do, but it still makes me angry inside. It seems my conscience can't accept the fact that drugs do exist and that people do take them. Once again, My OpIniOn.

I am not totally against drugs and alcohol, and I agree with the people that think marijuana should be legalized... in fact, it is safer than cigarettes. But whenever I see a person who I have a high level of respect for getting drunk or high, it really hurts. Although, to tell the truth, I don't think it is the act itself. In my opinion, whenever one of my friends is going out and getting intoxicated, I generally worry more about the people they are doing it with (there is an excessive number of dick weeds in my town). The personality of the person also comes into play... if it's someone who I think is doing it simply for the fun of it, and I think that they can distinguish between what's safe and what's dangerous perfectly fine, I won't even worry. Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite for getting angry at drug users, because personally... it's something I wouldn't mind doing myself. |

I more or less agree with the common statement that weed has never killed anyone, but alcohol has. But i dont like either, ive tried both but i only smoke weed when someone that does die, and i drink during partys, not just to get drunk. People get to dependent on both and lose sight of the who picture and reason they started doing them in the first place.

Would you rather be driving down the street in the opposite direction of a Drunk person or a high person (marijuana) ?

Getting drunk usually makes things around you more enjoyable and gives you an interesting sensation that you rarely experience. On top of that, it can make other people funnier and more interesting. With some people, you just can't WAIT to see them drunk because of how hilariously they act (and not necessarily in an idiotic way). My roommate becomes extremely flirtatious when drunk. I just seem to get loud, but I'll occasionally do something out of character that amuses people, like shoving Amanda's face away when she tries to kiss me or something. The point is that assuming that getting drunk automatically makes someone act stupid and irrational is an unfair categorization. Sure, that'll happen if people get stupid drunk (or rather quickly if someone's an annoying drunk, unfortunately), but you can be plenty drunk without that happening. That's the target area, and that's where most drunk people sit at, say, parties. Quote:

Regarding weed, I've just learned to accept that people, including some of my friends, do it. My acceptance comes more from understanding that they're all big boys and girls and can take responsibility for their actions, which isn't something I assumed when I was younger. I STILL have an issue with teenagers getting drunk and high and whatnot. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

Well for one thing those that do drugs often do hurt those around them. They hurt innocent bystanders when they decide in their intoxicated stupor to do something stupid. They hurt those who love them forcing them to watch as they hurt themselves. As far as liquor is concerned there are those who can be responsible with its use and those who can't. Usage of it can't just be ban it or don't. It's a long running part of our society. In fact alcohol at one point was illegal and it didn't work out too well.
My oppinion is that drugs and alchohol are horrible things most of the time. |

Yesterday, I've been for the first time to a real party where lots of people were drunk and high. It has somewhat opened my eyes, yet I don't feel any less affected by the drinking of others. Quote:

First off, i think that before any views can be propperly made by any individual, you must first try some of these things first. NO im not encouraging you to do drugs or drink, but i am saying that most people in this forum who have negative views twards drugs/drinking have most likely never tryed it themselves. Though i am not yet 21 i do drink and i like it. I JUST started drinking though and most of my friends already had ben drinking for awhile. I was alwase aposed to drinking because i have many drunks in my family. But after i learned more about it and tryed it i realized that its not the substance, but the will of the user not to abuse it. Therefor i think that good/bad can go either way. If you have an addictive personality, stay away, if you have strong mental ability, give it a shot before you say negative things.
As far as drugs go, i have tryed a few different ones, they all were pleasurable, BUT i didnt try any of them more than 1 - 2 times. With the exeption of marijuana. In all honesty i greatly enjoy marijuana and it does not effect me in any negative way. Its never lost me a job, or a friend, or anything. But all people react different to these things. In the end it comes down to you knowing your body and your limits. And as far as illegal/lagal goes. I think that all drugs other than marijuana should STAY illegal. =)
