Post response: drugs

http://goddard-lisa.blogspot.com/

I have found an interesting post about drugs which made to also reflect on this issue. Firstly I was surprised reading that weed is prescribed by doctors so I looked it up on the Internet. It turned out to be true. I found this website particularly enlightening: http://www.ukcia.org/medical/medicalcannabis.html

I can’t or confirm or deny if smoking cannabis is as relaxing as Lisa describes it because I never tried it. I was in a company of people who seemed to be enjoying its effects but I have also seen a guy who smoked everyday on his way to and back from work and he didn’t look very good. He had blurred eyes, his mouth was constantly open and was salivating badly. From what I saw I am not so sure if it ganja is a harmless drug. Maybe it is just like with alcohol, everything depends on the amounts you smoke. Still I don’t want to try it simply because I don’t need it to enjoy the life. I totally agree with Lisa when it goes to “hard” drugs. I read a couple of books about heroine and watched some movies which didn’t tell a word that drugs are bad yet they all discourage me from taking them. Here are some statistics showing the danger of using the drugs http://www.drugscope.org.uk/druginfo/drugsearch/ds_results.asp?file=%5Cwip%5C11%5C1%5C1%5Cdeaths.html

Those who don’t find it convincing enough should definitely watch one of my favourite movies – Requiem for a Dream. Here is a trailer: http://videodetective.com/default.aspx?PublishedID=712865
