Rumours and Stuff

one item I would like to take issue with is parents drug testing their kids, I mean wtf ? this says more about the parents for mine than the kids. it says I'm a shit parent and have no idea how to educate my kids

and where is the trust ?

i heard one family had a plan that if their kids were out somewhere and they were offered drugs or someone was fighting or harassing someone they would just text X to any family member and that was a code for 'come get me'

in a few minutes they would get a call saying there was an urgent emergency at home (so others wouldn't call them a wuss for leaving) and someone was on the way to pick them up

the other part of this plan was there would be no punishment no questions asked about why they called or what happened if they wanted to talk about it they could if not end of conversation

A girlfriend of mine in high school would always bring a four pack of whatever chick drink to a party. Once we got together it turned out her parents provided it. Basically, they said "Ok, you're going to a party. You're sixteen/seventeen and we are not stupid. Take this. You can drink this and nothing more, call us whenever you need to be picked up and we'll be there."

Worked great for her. Obviously it's not an approach for all kids but she never drank more than that. She felt trusted and never felt like she had to rebel....

Except she ended up telling her parents she was off to a different party every night and just sat in the park swilling Bacardi Breezers.

Wasn't Josh Dugans sister was she? Saw a photo of him drinking those on his roof one time. . . .

Actually it asserts that the idea spouted by yourself and Hindy that alcohol is basically harmless is a total fallacy. But you'd argue either way

No mate just that most people who consume alchol dont have an issue.
I had 2 glasses of red tonight. I enjoyed it. I am not intoxicated. People dont just have a small amount of a drug. They have it with one intention. To get off face and f**ked up. Majority of people who consume alchol do the same while a small percentage do it to get off chops.
Alchol has also been around for 1000s of years.

No,we're back to you trying say alcohol is less harmful overall than illegal drugs. A blatant fallacy

What pou saying is most people who consume alcohol arent doing it to get off there heads whilst whoever consumes drugs is.You never take a drug to not get off head. Yes an alcholic is as bad as a drug addict, we f**king get that.

Alcohol consumed highly for 12mths or even 10yrs prob wont cook your brain. I know guys who consumed other recreatioanl drugs and stopped for a 4 or 5 yr period and they are still spaced out and somewhat fried.

Doesn't the issue of toxicity need to be balanced with the issue of volume of consumption?
And the issue of number of people hospitalised need to be balanced with the number of users?

Do 2 in 10 drinkers of alcohol end up in hospital and only 1 in 10 users of ice?

If I go out to get pissed it is going to take me 8-10 scotches to get totally off my face and it will take me not only the effort, but also the cost and the time for this to occur. After 10 scotches I am pretty much shit faced.
In the old days, depending on the quality, it would take me 4 or more cones or maybe 2 joints to get to the same level of shit-faced ness.

How many "e's" to reach the same levels?
How many lines of coke?
How much ice do I need to smoke?
How much heroin do I need to shoot up?

I ask only because I don't know the answers.

I once pulled 20 cones in an hour. I reckon half would send me into a state of madness

I know people who have one joint or one pill. I'm sure you could find literally thousand of others.

Your assumption is wrong. But we've moved on now. We're talking about awkward teenage sex and whether Casper drug tests children.

Ive tried plenty of drugs. Its dam fun. Loved it. Bar smoking pot daily for a few years everything else was just recreational.
But i reckon they are dangerous and i watched some friends who went to far in a short space of time. And destroyed them to fast.

Please.....

So you know people who would just have a line or pill to not get high........ What are they having it for?



I think it depends on personality, some peeps just have to get f**ked up while others like a puff to make the supermarket shop more interesting.
