my opinion is that its good, there are more deaths from drink in 1 monthe than ecstasy in a year but what do you think?

Speaking as a drugs worker I can definitely say that Ecstasy, in it's street form is not good. Very few pills contain pure MDMA (Methylendioxemethamphetamine)- they are all cut and bulked out by dealers to make an extra profit. There is also research into the long term mental effects still on going, especially regards derpression. E works by tricking the brain into releasing more serotonin- the chemical that regulates your moods- than it should. Tis then ahs to be replaced and this takes time, during which, because your brain is deprived of it's regular "happy chemical", users suffer a comedown and depression. Yes alcohol does kill more people than E, but that is partlly due to the fact that fewer people pop pills than drink alcohol. Also you should realise that alcohol is only really socially acceptable because of media advertising and the fact it has been used for thousands of years- if it was a new drug it would probably be banned. \nBut the biggest problem with E is the fact that it is cut with so much crap. Have you ever sat down and eaten a large bowl of washing up powder? probably not, so you do not know how your body would react to it. So when you neck a pill you don't know what is in it-usually less than 9% could be MDMA. Another problem with this is people have to take more pills for an effect. However when a batch of pills with higher MDMA contents do hit the streets then the users take the same amount of pills they normally would, thereby leaving themselves open for more problems. Please also remember- by buying pills you are supporting a lot of the world's largest terrorist and criminal gangs- even if you just buy from a mate,  if you could trace back the origin of the pills then they will usually lead you back to some of the most ruthless individuals and groups on the planet- you really think they give a crap about what you are putting into your body- enough of the mystic bullcrap- there are no benvolent dealrs out to spread peace and harmony through distributing Es- just money greedy murderous orgaisations who you are helping finance.

Yes NONI products are good. I know alot of people who drink it and I've seen the results after some weeks. My neighbour was very fat and he used the product with the pills and lost a lot of weight way too fast. I also heard of a case in which it cured someone's cancer. But it's up to you.

Men drink more than women, but not by much.  \nAlcohol stats can be decieving because lots of drinkers don't realize they are PROBLEM DRINKERS.\nThe consequences can be huge, resulting in job loss, ruined relationships with family and friends, revoked driving priveledge, jail, chronic liver damage, or even death. \nMost consumed liquor worldwide is vodka.\nAlcoholism can be related to violence and low job productivity, but robbery isn't  that prevelant.

According to me age is not a big factor, as far as you know your limits its fine,even if you are above 18 you have to drink within your limits, and if you consume above that then you can land up in trouble, no matter what your age is.\nAbove 18 is considered in the sense that they are a bit mature and know their limits.\nEven doctor say that if you are limiting yourself to 1 or 2 pegs then it will not harm the body.

Alcohol if more toxic, addictive and destructive.  Have you ever heard of marijuana poisoning, marijuanaism, marijuana abuse, and Fetal Marijuana Syndrome in children?  I've also never heard or seen someone crash from driving high.  I have seen people crash and die from being drunk, have alcohol poisoning leading to ER trips, death from alcohol abuse (poisoning).  AA is specifically made for alcholics.  Marijuana takes the edge off all the people I've seen take it and makes them less aggressive.  I've never seen a violent person from marijuana, but have seen people arrested from violence due to alcohol as well as seen family and friends turn blue from the alcohol.\n\nEurope manages this well in respects to alcohol.  They teach their kids to drink very early and teach them to moderate their consumption thus it becomes less of a problem when the children grow up and arent so concerned about getting trashed.  We need to take the novelty away from the children at an early age so it becomes less exciting in their teen age years.  Marijuana is less of an issue than is smoking and drinking.  Marijuana should be legalized and sold by the govt to reduce drug trafficking concerns.  Thus the govt makes money and wins the war on drugs (in terms of Mary-J) all at once.

Alcochol and cigarettes are both pretty bad, I've had family & friends die from both of those.....but no "marijuana" related deaths....go figure....the legal ones kill.....

1.  If you use alcohol for health reasons (i.e. one glass of red wine a day is reportedly good for the heart) then i believe that's fine.  But if you let alcohol run away with your senses ....i.e. getting drunk, then i believe its wrong.\n\n2.  Jesus was only doing his mother's bidding, wasn't he?  In that case he didn't do any wrong.

It can lead to hemorrage (sp) and other problems, but if it's monitored, it's really not that bad......or mine wasn't, I don't think.  They stay kinda loopy for a year or so, off and on.  I bled a lot, and had some pretty serious depression for several months, off & on.  I would advise anyone looking to quit the dope "cold turkey" to find a 6 month inpatient program, if not a year-long one.  It's HARD to stay off when it's become such a.........well, around here it becomes a way of life.  It's hard to turn your back on the only thing you know.

The Legal age of 21 is good.\n \nALL PEOPLE need to take responsibility for their own actions.  If you are 21+, you can go out, drink legally, have fun and safely drive home.  Military personnel can drink at 18, on the base.\nI'm sure some 14yr olds could drive safely after a few drinks, but that doesn't mean we should lower the drinking age and driving age.  I've actually witnessed some 34yr olds, who can't drive after a few drinks.  Should it raised to 35 or worse, illegal to drink after the age of 33?  There will always be people under the age of 21, that find a way to get alcohol, but it's not OK.  If you get caught, you get in trouble.  If you're driving over the legal limit, you will get in big trouble and could serious hurt or kill people.  Don't ruin someone elses good time.\n\nIt's OK to drink, just know your limit and be responsible.  Call a friend/cab, take the bus or sleep in your car until you sober up.

i think 21 is a good age but for our men and women fighting for our country under 21 they should be allowed since the are fighting to stay alive for us if they are old enough to die for our country they are old enough to drink

I will start off by stating that I think smoking is definitely a health risk, but so is alcohol consumption and many foods and chemicals. However, to state that you don't like people who smoke or that smoking is "gay" is ignorant! Smoking is NOT the number one cause of death nor is second hand smoke. Heart attacks and strokes account for the most number of deaths per year. The risks of drinking alcohol are just as high if not higher than smoking. Drinking causes the loss of brain cells, enlargement of the heart, liver failure, accidents, damage to kidneys etc. Alcohol is also very obnoxious smelling!! I would rather smell the slight scent of tobacco on a person than the scent of alcohol seeping out of a drinkers pores and from their breath. I just answered a question about people who litter with their cigarette butts and I will paste part of my response to that question........\n\nPeople want to believe that smoking and second hand smoke are the only causes of lung cancer, but researchers have NO way of proving that people who have never smoked developed lung cancer from second hand smoke. When they do their so called tests, they use HIGHLY concentrated amounts of cigarette smoke to try and prove their case. They know that the factories and vehicles spew out the same and worse toxins, in far larger quantities, than a cigarette, but because of the expense of forcing those two things to be made safer, they choose to ignore them for the most part and concentrate on a relatively small part of the population. Plus they can pass bills to outrageously raise taxes on cigarettes to help generate money whenever they need more money. I haven't seen them raising taxes on ALL alcohol to help generate more money, even though hundreds of people die due to drunk drivers each year. I don't see them banning alcohol in all public places to help reduce the amount of deaths caused by drunk drivers. More people die (proven) each year as the result of drunk drivers than by smokers. They don't try to pass a bill that will raise the taxes on alcohol because there are MORE drinkers in this country than smokers and the bill would never pass, so they target a smaller group (cigarette smokers) and create almost mass hysteria about second hand smoke, so that non smokers will pass through the bill. Smokers are discriminated against all the time. They are even considered a bad risk by employers because researchers claim that smokers will be out sick more often than a non smoker. Drinkers miss more work due to illness, being drunk and to hangovers than smokers miss each year. Drinkers can also cause more work related accidents by going into work drunk or with a hangover.Yes, cigarette smoking can cause cancer,but so can many foods, environmental things and chemicals, but they don't place outrageous taxes on them. The people paid to do the research on cigarette smoking and second hand smoke are paid (subsidized) by the government to bring in the right statistics. They keep trying, using more and more concentrated smoke, until they arrive at the statistic that is wanted. It is no different than when they feed rats more of something than a human could consume in a lifetime and when the rat finally shows signs of cancer or any other disease, they claim it to be a health risk to humans. The majority of smokers do NOT develop lung cancer and the majority of people who live with smokers do NOT develop lung cancer. Statistics can be manipulated to prove whatever people want them to prove. Our government is not above manipulating facts and statistics to get what they want! With cigarette smokers they have found a minority group that they can tax to produce more revenue. By making non smokers see them as lepers, they have guaranteed that any new tax will pass. So when I see people carrying on about cigarettes , I feel the need to get on my soapbox and speak out. People need to realize that today the smokers are the target, but since it wor

not just that but what about the 4, 000 + number of ppl between the ages of 15 - 25 who die every year from alcohol related car wrecks...you don't see anyone out protesting that or the child, spouse deaths per year, or drug related deaths, etc.

I'm against it- people dont know how to regulate themselves- besides, we have enough problems with alcohol- adding another addicting drug that alters your emotions and motor skills to the legal list is a bad idea.

If it were treated like alcohol in terms of age restrictions and enforcement, and banned in public so the rest of us don't get your second hand smoke (including in 'just outside the building' corridors of smoke), I don't really care.  I don't think it is worse than alcohol, and it may be better for you. I'd let science decide on that point.

It's very stupid to binge drink!! Not only are you destroying brain cells you are putting your health in grave danger.Possibly your future to if you get caught.

Yes Yes Yes 1,000,000 times YES!!!!\n\nAlready answered one like this today, but here goes again...\n\nIt is no worse than alcohol or tobacco,, both of which are LEGAL products.\n\nIt has NEVER caused even ONE death, ever.\n\nContrary to popular belief, it does NOT cause cancer, and it may actually have preventative effects.  (according to a recent study at UCLA, link below)\n\nIt should be legal for adults, just like alcohol and tobacco.\n\n"High" driving would likely still be a crime (even though a new study shows it is not a factor in driving accidents, link below) \n\nPot smokers are non-violent.  The most they'd do is eat all the food out of your fridge.\n\nMOST pot smokers can use it responsibly.  It is not physically addictive.  SOME people might become psychologically addicted, but these people are more susceptible to addiction and would likely become alcoholics or addicts of something else.\n\nThat enough reasons for everyone?
