[andyliid]

Cool story bro, btw smackhead!



[MISIVIGI]

i cudn't stop read your book, i really admire you and your husband Tony and i am pretty happy that Simon rebuild his life and has normal life :)

[Babania1]

I recently read her book 'Mum can you lend me £20' a really touching story! I really feel for this family, and it also made me think about what Ive put my family through!

[Famfriass]

I agree....don't even try it ONCE because, even if you don't get hooked the first time...you never know when you will.

[welovelarry1]

Mr and Mrs Burton-Phillips are two of the loveliest people I know and neither them, nor Simon, deserved to lose Nick. <3

[zitianaki]

yes but did he not say they asked for it "why cant we have any" sounds more like them begging for it not it being pushed on them...

[MrTheEvilgerman]

Doing drugs is no joke my friends !!

Not even once, believe me !!

[MOMEHT]

i want to try

[Oldskool01Hakken]

@MOMEHT are you fucking real? trust me you don't!

[fajhitas2]

@MOMEHT trust me u dont. I have not expierience with the drug physically. but my father wuz hooked on heroin and he was an addict fer atleast a year and a half. He sold everything he had and was spending 1000 dollars a week on it. He couldn't afford to buy me a present so i got a necklace from my grandma bu anyways. On my birthday I hugged him before I left to go home. He felt so boney to the touch I could pretty much feel every spinal plate in his back. 3 days later he took his own life.

[tigerone1970]

These people are so full of s*** that it isn't even funny. They're trying to sell the idea of weed as a stepping stone to heroin. Through 'heroin spliffs'.

[MAKER6450]

drug use always starts with weed.

weed helps you get over the "fear" of drug taking and it snow balls from there...i always lmao at ppl who told me this but they were so damn right.

[SkateTS808]

@MAKER6450 yup but it's not the weed that started them to fucking 'smoke heroin'

[MAKER6450]

@SkateTS808 i never said i does.

ppl build up to it.

weed, then pills, trips...then start snorting or smoking speed...then injecting.

once you have done that you're over the "fear" of drug taking and heroin doesnt seem that bad once you have done it all.

im not sayn it will happen to everyone but it sure did happen to %95 of my frriends.

some ppl just get addicted to drugs and weed is the start of all that.

[MegLuvzLife]

@MAKER6450 -I say that same exact thing too! I actually STARTED w weed,then drinking,then coke,THEN H! It's a gradual decline.For some at least! I never used to say weed is gateway drug....but when I look at the facts...it was for ME I guess.

[shockingshot]

@MAKER6450 No, ignorance is the gateway to heroin, not marijuana.

[MAKER6450]

@shockingshot wtf does ignorance have to do with drug addiction?

[shockingshot]

@MAKER6450 If you're told all your life that marijuana is just as harmful as heroin and try marijuana and find it won't kill you, you stop believing all you've been told about drugs. Ignorant views of the teachers are transferred to those they're teaching.

[antony6969]

@MAKER6450 this is what I believe and is what ppl and police told me when I was young, weed CAN lead to hard drugs. you dont go from nothing to a neddle to you, you start with a joint then pills than crack& heroin. I did

[MAKER6450]

@antony6969 exactly.

same with me....i never got into crack beacause its not around the area i live in but weed then pills n trips, speed n meth then heroin.

its the same story all over the world but dumb little pot heads that have just started smoking just dont see it.

[zitianaki]

@MAKER6450 not really, i started with LSD, weed was one of the last drugs i tried and i hated it, though i dont consider weed to be a drug, alcohol and smokes are worse

[LoobyLoo1973]

Poignant stuff

[baadbahta]

fair play to the brother giving up i no its hard i was once a addict 7 years ago i no how he feels

[MAKER6450]

@baadbahta iv been 3 years clean but i still think of it daily.

do you always think about it?

7 years clean is very good.

[baadbahta]

@MAKER6450 no i never think of it at all its been 7 years now.try not to let it cross ure mind thats what i do yes it did start from weed i used to smoke a lot of skunk and weed at the time and from there it snowballed i lost a lot through it the girl i was going out with since secondary school after that it made me think that this is wrong there so much more to life then heroin trust me
