Yeah, capital letters are over rated.

Actually it's true - cigarettes ARE more addicting than heroin.

Idiot. Comparing pill-poppers with pedophiles?!? Idiot again, and IDIOT.

Other than that +1 to kr00t0ns posts about drug-nazis and generalization.

Originally posted by Digital Rain How many people did you know in your life that actually used heroin? The people I've meet in my life said they got addicted after trying heroin only two times. They could not quit for shit without special treatment. You can quit cigarettes "cold turkey" and be just fine, no seizures.

My best friend was actually in rehab for a year after I left the country, she started hanging with the wrong crowd, got into heroin, so guess what, I have firsthand experience.

SHe's been clean 8 months now, but still smokes like a chimney, but thats a lesser of two evils as far as I am concerned.

I have also been addicted to speed a few years back, so I am well aware of all the implications and risks involved.

Some people manage to realise if they are going wrong, and some don't.
And the same can be said for people who eat healthy and exercise, and those that pig out on MD's and sit on their fat arses watching TV all day.

As for cigarettes, the reason they are more addictive than heroin, is that they actually contain a substance that occurs naturally in our brains (nicotine), and when we take in too much, our brains stop producing it to try and balance stuff out. Nicotine is actually one of our mood stabalising chemicals, so if you stop smoking, you don't have enough, get moody/cranky and crave the source (cigarettes).

Read up, there's plenty info out there.

I quit smoking four years ago, simply one day I realized that it was ridiculously expensive to buy cigarettes. The effects of nicotine on a human brain are highly exaggerated, I quit smoking after doing it for eight years without any mood swings, or head aches and everybody I know agrees that smoking was relaxing but when they quit the only thing most of them missed were the five minute breaks from work and did not have any mood swings. Not every brain will react the same to the stimulants you provide it with and most addictions are simply weaknesses, people snap without nicotine and get cranky for no reason, a simple chemical imbalance can even cause psychosis in a weak mind an you definitely don't need to smoke or quit cigarettes for that to happened. Did you know that now the are saying now that cheese is addictive (food product)?

Good thing.

I'm a casual narcotics consumer. I'm pretty sure the beans I popped back in May of last year aren't going to cause such damning effects when I'm 70 so much so that I am utterly incapable of walking. I doubt I will be confined to a wheelchair and shouting "damn that mdma from 2004! Dammit all to hell!".

You touched on something very important, how it various from person to person.

SOme people have more willpower, some people don't get affected by some things as much as others, and as such, some people can have a casual drug habit and BE FINE.

I always find it hard taking anything that people who lump "drugs" into the same bracket seriously.

Every drug is different, the effects are different and they shouldn't be grouped together. Likewise making generalisations about drugs as a whole is as bad as me making the generalisation that anyone who has done so so is a geeky pretend clubbing fuckwit.

Drugs have influenced dance music in huge ways, and it's safe to say that without drugs our scene would have never taken off the way it did. Drugs made dance music, they're not killing it.
