Dear drugs and alcohol,

You make the most successful men your slave. You control millions of minds around the world. When their not on you they dream of you, and when they don’t have you they think of ways to steal you. You’re the reason why so many have lost loved ones. You’re a cause of cancer and major disorders. You’ve taken away peoples voices and their lungs. You’ve deteriorated people’s skin, glazed over their eyes, and robbed them of their youth. Pretended to help people through their problems, and gave false hope. You’ve foiled education and job opportunities, ruined marriages and left children to fend for themselves. You’ve caused violence, helped people fall through the cracks and lead and helped toward depression. You’ve built and helped economies, and gave people jobs. You’ve healed some but killed so many more and made billions of dollars. The world hates you but they can’t live without you.






Love,




Someone who doesn’t love you

the way i see it is like this:

cigaretts: relieve stress, can be used as a temporary crutch for a hard time and will not impair your ability to do anything, but horrible for you

weed: has been smoked in america since its inception (declaration of independence was written on hemp), better alternative than alcohol, impairs you but not to a damaging extent (unless you smoke a mile wide bowl in which its probably best you not reproduce anyway) has created a culture of...

Its not up to "creativity" it's what the user is seeing What you see on LSD is nothing you coul EVER see in reality so while the creativity may be the same what you are creative about is miles apart.

i agree with this. my dad is an alcoholic and thats the main reason my parents got devoriced. i think things like pot should only be legal of medical purposes, like people with cancer to help them while there going through treatment. but they shouldn't be able to keep getting it after they are cured of it like some people do.

Also i know someone who used to do all sorts of drugs. she only did it because she was trying to kill herself the entire time and thank god stopped before she did... (more »)

This is exactly the point of this article! Even though drugs and alcohol may seem like fun or a good way to fix your issues, it's not the answer and there's a better, safer way to fix the problem, whatever it is.

A drug is nothing more than a substance. It can do good (DMT has opened my eyes to viewing the world in an entirely different way, a incredibly spiritual point of view, and the greatest artists in the world have said the same) or can cause pain, but the drug is not to blame. People will either make wise decisions, or poor decisions. You want to know the real reason that drugs are viewed as bad? because the majority of people are idiots.

I agree that the majority of people are idiots. However some if not most drugs lower inhibitions (which most people don't have enough control of anyways). So that's why people make stupider decisions than normal which in that case would be directly the result of the drug. And you're right drugs in controled amounts can be very benefical.  Also an interesting fact derived from a study is that when artists were on LSD and painted a picture and than comparied it to pictures that artists painte...

not all drugs are bad, some are used for medical purposes. A lot of art was created with the use of drugs.

I agree, not all drugs are bad. Actually most drugs when used with the right dosage are very beneifcal. However don't always use them in that way. Also an interesting fact that artists who were on LSD and those who weren't comparied pictures and people reported that they didn't see a difference in creativity. Though I'm sure the ones that were painted on LSD were stranger. But you're right a lot fo art was created using drugs.
