The Hash Nibbler Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Quote " The study found heavy users of cannabis, cocaine and amphetamines experienced their first symptoms at a younger age than those who abstained or took only one drug." Unquote. So give up ya expensive teenage coke habit, get off the shitty Meth train that makes farktards outta everyone, and smoke cannabis after ya 21 kids Nibbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrethead Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) I love these types of studies as I always wonder if one suffering some sort of mental condition is more likely to gravitate to certain types of behaviours such as experimenting with drugs. Maybe it has to do with these types of people having a stronger desire to modify their perception of reality, or maybe they already have a wider acceptance when their brain is altered chemically. Either way maybe, just maybe these types of people (myself included) continue to self medicate with legally perceived illicit drugs because they impart a positive nfluence. Naaahh.......

louise Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah, so what's new? Doing an absolute shit load of drugs during early adolenscence has consequenses for later life... unfortunately they forgot to include alcohol abuse in their study... but I supose that would have messed up the "illict" part. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downlow Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Another reason to just stick to pot. Or remove it's stigma and break the link to truly damaging hard drugs. Everyone I know who takes that rubbish turns in a total whacked out loser. The odd spliff just like the odd beer is highly unlikely to be damaging. But yes there is cause to prevent under 21s from touching any drug whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
