NotThePars Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Any moves to normalise a druggy culture is a dangerous road to go down. I can't think of anything more normal in the UK at the moment than people taking drugs. It's the one thing we Brits probably do better than anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Aye its grim. A quick google search brings up loads of stuff about glass being crushed and sprayed onto it. Surely that will just end up in the ash tray tho? i doubt the end is burning at the temp required to vapourise glass. even if it is a bit of a con 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You need to see Eastern Europe and 'Krokodil'. Was just going to say that. The invention of Krokodil and what it does to the human body actually provides a very good argument for legalising drugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the one thing we Brits probably do better than anyone else. I wouldn't say drug taking is the norm for people in the UK. How many people outside the 15-25 age group are indulging? When you're young and have no real responsibilities, it's normal to experiment with this and that but once things like mortgages, marriages, kids and careers enter the equation, people tend to move on in life. I guess dope smokers put forward this "loads of people do it" line to justify their own actions but, in reality, most people aren't taking illegal drugs of any sort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You need to see Eastern Europe and 'Krokodil'. I meant in terms of partying, 'caning it' and that sort of thing. What was the Greek equivalent of krokodil again? Saw it on Vice when it rose after the Greek economy collapsed. Horrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After alcohol and tobacco, cannabis is the next most commonly used drug in the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about everyone I know takes some form of drugs, whether it be coke, weed or mdma/pills. Most of the older people I know still enjoy taking these drugs in their older years. I think when I'm over 25 I'll still indulge in it now and then too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no saying everybody does it but I'm willing to bet it's far more prevalent than some people expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I keep meaning to put together a decent stash of heroin and LSD and keep it in the freezer in case I'm ever dumped in an old folks home. Whisky's my main drug at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Most of the boys I have a drink with at the weekend, some close to 50, still take the coke. I don't think anyone who was big on it in their younger years ever really stops. Would agree with this. Some of my mates are pushing 40, good jobs and families but still snort like demons on nights out. Strange stuff but each to their own. Oh, and yes, weed should obviously be legal.

welshbairn Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Coke used be be advertised as a pick me up for the tired and elderly. Just because the young started on it before they were ready to appreciate its subtleties and dangers and made it a get out your skull youth experience, doesn't mean those with a bit of maturity shouldn't carry on moderately indulging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Anyone tuning into Absolute radio yesterday evening? There was a bloke on who's just released a book on the global drugs war. It was a very interesting interview. Was chatting about the case for Portugal, and was also taking about Rat Parks and shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Colorado is making so much from the sales of marijuana that they might need to give some of the money back to the citizens. Clicky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebeneezer Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Can't say I know anyone who does weed or coke. 20 years ago aye, but not in your 40s for Christ's sake. A bunch of middle aged blokes huddled round a hash bong and laughing at the patterns on the wallpaper is just a bizarre image in my eyes.

It is possible to smoke sitting on a nice armchair with a some decent sounds and a coal fire. Being a student is not compulsory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
