• Day 3- 30 day challenge

  Your views on drug and alcohol

  I'm very anti drugs- unless it's the kind where your doctors prescribed for your illness and you're not abusing it.

  Personally I think that people who take illicit drugs should fork out for their own medical expenses and not burden the taxpayers for their medical treatment. But that will never happen, and that's just my view.

  I don't get the whole "taking" drugs thing. I know it's supposed to "blow" you mind away and give you some radical experience but is it worth it? Not really, considering half the stuff that people take are done in backyard labs where nobody really knows what's been concocted and added into the drugs sold. To me, that's really really scary especially without the knowledge of the ingredient- nobody knows what the side affects are going to be. I think the people who take "party drugs" should film themselves and watch their behaviours, you'll be surprised that the "crazy experience" is much of an experience at all... in fact it's a tad embarassing to witness people off their faces in general.

  I know plenty of people who take drugs and have walked away fine, but all you need is one bad dose and your life is over. These are the risks you take and frankly when things go astray- I personally do NOT have any sympathy for them.

  I also don't have any sympathy for people who get caught with drugs. Australia has a very soft approach on dealers where it's a few years in prison. But some idiots decide to take the "risk" and go to certain countries and get busted... usually Asian countries who believe in the death penalty. I know Australia is anti- death penalty... and we always ask for clemancy for Australian citizens but frankly we need to respect OTHER countries laws. We are not above the law in any country, as their citizens would not be above our law... and frankly, if you are dumb enough to carry the drugs into countries that have no qualms in giving you the "injection', then it's your own fault and problem when you do get hanged..

  I have lesser harsh view of alcohol- perhaps because the other is ILLEGAL and alcohol is still LEGAL. In saying that, I think more people die due to alcohol related deaths than to drugs...

  But I can't condemn people who drink alcohol because I'm no saint- never done any drugs, but can't really say I've never had a crazy binge drinking night out. I have however don't drink on a regular basis. One incident has put me off alcohol in general.

  although I try to avoid the city on Friday and Saturday nights when people go out on a drinking rampage, alcohol + drugs change people's behaviour and moods and a lot of people become violent.. which scares me..

  However, in both cases: drugs and alcohol- I usually look the other way if people go nuts with drugs or alcohol. It's not really my problem what others do...
