the difference between drug use abuse and drug addiction

[buddybopper]

I'm a marijuana user. I smoke to relax, chill, and listen to music or watch a funny movie right before I go to sleep at night. I don't have a constant supply but when I do have it, I prefer to do it alone. Then I can eat and laugh my ass off at the stupid movie I'm watching without feeling like an ass. Marijuana isn't addictive because it does NOT work with your dopamine system, it works with your sympathetic nervous system. People who are addicts are usually trying to cover some pain.

i use speed to meet people and dance

[xXbloodcoreXx]

look dude your 1000% right bud if you feel bad and u have weed you smoke a joint right ? everybody does (the people who do pot i mean xD) i use speed once in 2 months or more and than its like 3 gram on 1 night... pot i smoke everyday BUT I WOULD NEVER USE HEROINE OPIUM CHRISTAL METH... I DO NOT EVEN USE ALCOHOL I FUCKIN HATE IT my dad almoste died from it and a few weeks ago my best friend died from a shot of hero.. nice vid

[badreligion3333]

@xXbloodcoreXx

speed is meth

unless your talking aderal

[xXbloodcoreXx]

@badreligion3333 speed is not meth speed are amphetamins

if it was meth we would be talking about methamphetamine :)

[badreligion3333]

@xXbloodcoreXx if you arent taking a prescription pill and are taking "street" speed THAT IS CRYSTAL METH

[xXbloodcoreXx]

drug users got no problem DRUG ABUSERS DO!!

[Scruffydog15]

Agreed. And it's cool your folks are progressive cos mine sure aint! hahaha, sorry man, it's one of those situations where you gotta laugh at it or you just cry (for me at least)

[Scruffydog15]

Thanx for the perspective. However, I think we're a long way from a society that'll accept mommy or daddy coming home from a long day of work and having a few bong hits to relax as opposed to six pack joe-

[badreligion3333]

yeah but that is absolutely teh opposite of the way things should be

and we arent as far from that as you think neither of my parents smoke weed but have no problems with my friends parents who do they say they are adults and its not hurting anyone

[Scruffydog15]

so right. so let me ask you this man, do you think weed will be legal by the end of this year and if so, do you expect public opinions to rapidly change or do you expect every legal pot smoker to still be called "addicts" or "losers" or whatever? in other words- if it becomes legal do you think the image of someone who uses pot will start to become glamorized

[badreligion3333]

it already is gamorized all the stoner movies and stoner rap bands and such it might make that group shrink because it will become a normalized thing. and by the end of 2010 no accept maybe in california they becide januray 12th the only place in the us where its legal for recreational use is brekenridge(sp?) colorado

[MichaelHasNoFriends]

lol;. Good vid. But the word you used "cronic" i've used that for just pot in general. Just another name for it. I mite be mistaken, idk. But i think that its just a different name. But it could easily have been changed from just another name to a name meaning pot laced with coke or vice versa.

[badreligion3333]

i think i explained this in the coments or vid not sure

east coast cronic risks cocaine

west coast its just weed

[CombatDaggers]

hardcore heroin addicts rarely shoot up alone, i do cause i dont have any friends. I wasnt really a hardcore addict though i didnt use everyday

[zipperddog]

I think this may be one of the most articulate explanations of this

[Starkiller60]

if you smoke weed everyday you are using it to solve your problems/ to escape.

[badreligion3333]

not always some people are board i make a point not to smoke when something is bothering me

[xXbloodcoreXx]

@Starkiller60 no i smoke everyday becouse i love to get high, not to forget my problems :)

[ShroomSamich]

true

[GravyBrainz]

i love that song

[TheDrizzle1212]

keep it green

[xxbloodyros15xx]

lol the walls r moving!!

[chaosinesco]

good points, but you should keep it green bro, cigs are nasty no offense

[pineconeface]

cigs are gross but if you roll em yourself with natural tobacco,theyre not nearly as bad

[chaosinesco]

yeah they are, why would anyone smoke something that doesnt smell good, get you high, and is an ugly fuckin plant

[badreligion3333]

cuz when your 12 years old and trying to impress ppl it works

and it gives you a mild buzz until you become tolerant to it

[iloveloosey101]

what is pot? what is methylbueytolithium? im a rx kinda ghuy. im on kristal meth yo jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkj

[BigOleCyclops]

hahahaha dude thinks chronic is bud laced with white. It's called primo, Chronic is just a name for really good indoor pot.

[badreligion3333]

ont eh east coast thats what bud laced with white is i think your probs a lil more west than me but na in ct or surrounding area where im from i can say chronic and everyone knows im talking about white laced tree it depends on area though but nice try at being a dick

[BigOleCyclops]

wasnt tryin 2 b a dick just tryin 2 inform u on propper drug lingo buddy

[badreligion3333]

then dont start it with hahahaha dude thinks and i wont think ur being a dick

[BigOleCyclops]

O the joys of the internet

[gouldingandrew]

good rant, but the endorphins your brain produces are actually much more stronger than morphine or anything else.

[punkcasualty]

i usally agree with cam but idk about this man like a drug is a drug no matter what if its with your friends it has no different effects it does the same thing

[badreligion3333]

im talking of what someone is using the drug for and there mentality while taking the drug

taking a drug alone usually means your running from your problems

taking it with your friends can mean that but is more likely to mean that your out having a good time not being an escapist

[punkcasualty]

i dont know im really weary of drugs saince my uncle died from them a year ago and it was communital

[badreligion3333]

like is aid adicts use comunally but its a little less sad to do so as well depends on the drugs your doing

i know he didnt die from weed it cant kill you thats my doc i rarely drink on occasion ill put a pill or coke in my nose but if its coke i know ppl whove done it first and pills i always google the lethal dose and that specific pills drug interactions im a lil diff than most drug users tho

[lkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlo]

word up brotha you speak the truth great video!!!!

[messi1725]

Great vid!

[prest707]

2 much of anything can make a addict

[InternautBrabant]

I totally agreee with you man

we make difference between soft drugs and hard drugs. Weed is classified as a soft drug.

It's less addictive and you can't have an overdose.

[chillemhard]

what a bunch of crap, if marihuana makes you go to crack then getting born makes you drink!

[brionyE1]

Every1 i know who has a major drug addiction started with smoking pot! it's a problem when it starts effecting your life, however that may be.

[badreligion3333]

well did they smoke pot before drinking? if so they are rare but alcohol isnt called the gateway drug just becasue its legal

[Religionlessgod666]

Great video.

i showed some of your vids (the ones that have to do with dugs and marijuana legalization and its harmlessnesst to the body and mind) to my health teacher. He now thinks i should be drug tested every week.

That's beside the point. My peers now know that health books aren't to be trusted, and that marijuana is but a harmless plant that gives you certain feel good effects. Anyway. You saved a group of kids from ignorance. In my book that's grounds for the medal of honor. Thank you.

[badreligion3333]

no prob man s wat i do check out the facts about weed show ur teacher the actual LINKS from web md and ones from the british transportation department adn another from a group devoted to the study of hte bodies cannabinoid system and how it affects diet

[JennaDale20001982]

Excellent summary...

[randy109]

Good Vid! I wish more people knew the difference between Use and Abuse. A lot of people drift from use to abuse because they have personal issues or have an "addictive personality". The whole 'war on drugs' thing has gotten insane. Addicts are more victim than criminal... Thanks for posting this!
