Why hate Athiest?

[jstrodel]

It is a medical fact that drugs are addictive.

Which ones? You mean like those really nasty tasting antibiotics?

There is no debating this. Drugs affect the brain directly, why not just stop in your tracks and accept that both the physical composition of drugs and their relationship to neurochemistry AND individual behavior play a role in addiction and be an adult instead of living in the fantasy world of the super-smart internet exotic psychedelic user who knows everything and is one step ahead of the medical community.

Let's see what the medical communtiy has to say about this:
(By the way, have you ever heard of medical Marijuana?)
Maijuana
Meth
Heroin
Cocaine

Now, before your moralistic head explodes, I didn't include hard drugs as a means of defending them. Quite the opposite. I intend to contrast their obvious dangers with the more subtle and managable risks of marajuana. It still comes down to responsibility because, while hard drugs are addicting, you shouldn't be taking them in the first place.

Are you saying that you have the same authority to define the dangers of drugs to people as a psychiatrist? I think you are extremely proud. Look at what the entry you posted says: "Cocaine is a very addictive drug, and some people easily lose control over its use"

What makes you think you are at the same level as a doctor? Do you really think you are that smart? You said you are 18 years old. Why do you believe you know as much about medicine as a doctor? The medical community says those drugs are very very dangerous.

Yes, I have heard of medical marijuana. Look, because something is used as medicine does not mean it is dangerous. Look at benzodiazepines, those are extremely addictive drugs. They are legal. So is OxyContin. So is OxyMorphone (Numorphone) and HydroMorphone (Diluadid) and Fentanyl (Duragesic). All of those drugs are more powerful than heroin.

I could care less whether drugs are illegal or legal. You think I am posting here because I am trying to get you to vote for my candidate? I am posting here because I care about you. I love you all. There are already many, many drugs schedule II drugs that are much more dangerous than illegal drugs. I know a whole lot of other stuff about this that I just don't feel comfortable posting, because I don't want to get people deeper into it. Suffice to say, the issue of whether drugs are illegal or legal has little bearing on whether drug abuse is dangerous.


If you take drugs to get high, it is very dangerous. Ask your doctor if you should take ecstasy before you do it. How many of the people that take ecstasy talk to their doctor about it first? Probably very few.

(I'm sorry if some bad friends of yours got you into drugs, but don't blame atheism...)

Your skeptical (if skeptical is the right word, you trust yourself an awful lot) epistemology that refuses to acknowledge the harmful effects of drugs and your lack of concern for established medical authorities shows that atheism may indeed be responsible for the way that you see drugs, which is different from how other groups of people see drugs.
