It is bad for you and is is adddictive

I agree that the body metabolizes the stuff well. Real well. The drug will fit exactly into the receptors that the body has for it's natural chemicals.. So the users brain will stop producing its own chemicals such as serotonin.
THIS IS WHY IT IS HIGHLY ADDICDIVE
So, Most people who use the stuff will love it and want more, and more, and more. THIS WILL LEAD TO HEALTH ISSUES.

No one cares too much about their health when their brain's pleasure centre is being stimulated.


I believe that what one puts into his or her body is up to the individual.
But I think its mis-information to say that heroin is not a cause of long term health problems, or that heroin is not highly addictive.

Remember: You don't have to be having physical withdrawal symptoms for your brain to know what it would like to do again.

Also, There is a major difference in the thought processes of a person who uses a drug recreation ally vs a person who is ill in hospital.

The person who is self medicating will have control over the process and is usually trying to avoid/escape something which is what leads to physiological addiction.

Opiates are given in usually very small dosages in hospitals to treat pain even now because of what the size and action of their molecules have on the human body. The dosage is controlled by a physician. Is there not less of a chance of becoming physiologically then physically addicted in this case?

A person who chooses to use opiates recreationally will maybe start with a very small dose. Very soon they will up that dosage and hence become physically addicted quickly.

SPINOZA: Why don't you prove your theories by doing heroin and showing us how you maintain yourself on it over the course of a couple years?

Do the "Super Size Me" thing and document the whole experience. I'd really like to see you come out a winner and set the stage for decriminalization!

I agree with legalization, as long as sales are restricted and highly regulated.

For the record, there are highly functioning heroin addicts, but they are rare. The writer Anna Kavan was one:

Sorry, but the more Spin lets himself be known, the more he's best avoided, troll or no troll.

[Satori]

Lets start with pot. There is truly no reason pot should be illegal.

And furthermore!

I dealt with Flotsam seperately because he has at least given the matter genuine thought. I gave Tiger Beer the benefit of the doubt and assumed he mis-read what my argument is (no problem there - I mis-read stuff myself). But some of the other replies.....Jesus, you guys are STUPID! You've completely missed the point and even if I get out flashcards, even if you receive one-lash-per-word I speak, you still won't get it!

Pictures of extreme-case smack fiends? Deary me. Why deary me? Because - are these cases of people hooked on heroin in a non-prohibitionist society? No, you buffoons. That's what prohibition of drugs causes - it means people who become addicted (which is their own fault and nobody else's - you won't find ME disputing that!) cannot afford drugs. The black market controls what is, as I've admitted, an addictive drug, a dangerous drug, that isn't wonderful for one's short-term health. Side-effects, ladies and gentlemen. But there's an obvious difference between mere side-effects and complete personal neglect. That's not heroin usage you see in those crappy photos, it's malnutrition, it's desperate poverty, it's the lowest form of existence, it's criminalization of products that might best be re-examined as to their actual danger in more humane circumstances. It is not merely heroin that causes it - it is also inflated prices for a product that society can never hope to control cost-effectively, unless it changes its ways completely. We need a wholesale change. This lies at the very core of what is crap. What would alcoholics eventually look like if we banned alcohol tomorrow (which is relatively cheap and legal) and it quadrupled in price? Of course, the alcies of the world would just quit right away, huh?

I agree that drugs should be legalized, but I also believe that employers should have the option to hire or not hire an individual based upon that use. Sure, go ahead and use but there will be consequences. I also believe that insurance companies should not be required to ensure someone that uses heroin, meth, etc... If you want to fuc# up your life, so be it, but making the rest of society pay in higher rates for insurance and medical care is quite another story.
I see those who use drugs as timebombs and maybe their drug use will weed them out of the gene pool. Oh, anyone who uses drugs and produces offspring b/c of their irresponsiblity should not receive public assistance of anykind. Actually I believe that their should be compulsory birthcontrol for females that use.
