How can crack be more addictive, but have more recreational users? From what I've read anyway, crack is not more addictive.
And EDGE is right (takes deep gulp), banning things rarely works. I grew up watching the likes of Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry and the like and they were violent but no one cared until "some parents" became concerned. Now you can't see these cartoons or they've been watered down. Result? Are kids less violent? Are they ****. So what good did banning them do? Ditto comics.
I think that probably depends on which pub you're drinking in The one thing I'll never ever understand about cocaine users is why they consider it a good laugh to dissapear into a grotty pub toilet cubicle 2 at a time to get off their nuts. And they don't even wait till the coast is clear befeore entering and leaving. It just strikes me as being very very wrong.
I was talking about cocaine addicts/recreational users. Crack is just processed coke, and there are more recreational coke users than there are coke/crack addicts. One of my best mates spent £100000+ in a year on crack, and only did smack from time to time. I think that's the indication of how much more addictive it is
True. And when was the last time someone was killed by an anvil falling on their head? Kids today don't know they're born...
That makes more sense. But I would imagine there are more crack addicts than there are recreational crack addicts. I suppose it would differ from person to person. Some accounts I've read indicate the opposite
Slowly and slowly, cigarette smokers are becoming stigmatised. It's only a matter of time before drinkers follow the same path. There are plenty who don't abuse it, but there are many who do and the social implications of such abuse are clear to see. Granted, most of you enjoy your drink responsibly, more than responsibly, but alcohol related crimes are evident.
Doesn't that depend on the individual though? You might get people who do more smack than crack. In the same way I know alcoholics who like the occasional bet and heavily addicted gamblers who like the odd pint. I know it's not entirely the same but hopefully you get the point.
In australia a law is about to be passed which requires all cigarettes to be sold in the same phlegm green packaging ( no branding etc on the pack ) ; packets of cigarettes are already stored out of sight - ie cannot be on display in the shop....Im pretty sure it wont be too long before an outright ban is being talked up by some politicians or health councils ; Ive no really strong feelings on them being banned or not - though I do enjoy the occasional *** myself! But the inherent hypocracy of banning/criminalising one allegedly harmful substance while maintaining the legality and taking in vast amount of tax revenue for another really pisses me off.
My point was that doing smack intraveinously is meant to be the most amazing experience in your life, but everyone I've talked to it about said it's pretty much like getting really stoned. Crack is meant to be like supercoke
Crack's a blast It's easy to see how people become addicted but if you're normal, you don't wake up wit cravings etc. Only ever snorted skag and it just sobered me up then I was sick as a dog the next day. ****ing horrible stuff. Ketamine's brilliant and non-addictive!
I'm not saying drunks aren't a problem but to suggest a majority of drinkers are out there causing trouble and ending up in hospital is completely wrong. In fact, I would wager that most drinkers rarely enter a pub and when they do have maybe one or two drinks. Most people just enjoy a tipple at home.
It's not physically addictive! Of course I've met k-heads but they're the stupid ****s breathing aerosols through scarves and whatnot. ****ing mongs 12 to the dozen. K's not addictive, it's just very fun.
