EVE General Discussion

Lets get back to the 'most' bit.

You do realize that inexpensive drugs, (not including cheap pharmaceuticals, legals like Rush, cough syrup, mouthwash, or rubbing alcohol to name a few), are the minority don't you?

I've never purchased or even looked at the price of purchasing anything serious, but I do know people sink their entire wallets, (there bi-weekly pay short of rent if they don't forget), into fun for a night or a weekend that leaves them penniless and often starving until the next payday.

Most 'serious' drug addicts share accommodations with others and work out how to afford the rent between them. Non-taxpaying migrant laborers, (fruit-pickers around here mostly), have a group that has a 4 off; 2 on mentality, meaning 2 guys work for a couple days then come back and blow their collective pay on drugs and alcohol, while another 2 go out and work for 2 days and come back and do the same.

The whole group spends and average of 60% of their time for the duration of the season drunk and wasted or somewhere between high and low without settling on sober for long. They save none of it--afaik--on average and end up working to get back home because they can barely afford gas, or hitch-hiking and begging for food along the way to wherever they originated from or wherever they happen to be going.

Quite often they make an average of $20-25 an hour 6-10 hours a day, for when they are working.

I drink cider as it makes up one of my 5 aday.

Cider is my co-pilot

bwahaha.. who do you think you're kidding? Where did you get the notion that smoking was more harmful, (medical studies say weed is 40% more likely to cause Cancer than cigarettes, and that's just weed), and more expensive, (Costs me $300 a month or so, and I've known people to blow $1-200 in single night on alcohol before it cost 80% of the price of a pack of cigarettes for a bottle of beer at the bar, and that's just alcohol), than 'most' recreational drugs.

Meth melts your brain, Crack kills and destroys all cognizant awareness as it destroys the brain, ******* destroys your heart and eats away the lining of your nasal passages, and various other things. Most people who use any of these regularly or even irregularly are quite possibly, and even somewhat likely, to die before they are 30, or even 20.

When was the last time you heard that about cigarettes? ..or compared the user of one to the user of the other with regard to social and psychological interaction and behaviors? You are aware that most young children addicted to meth end up developing sociopathic tendencies, and are considered violent and dangerous to all people around them?

The primary reason tobacco is as bad as it is, is because the 'Big Tobacco' companies put Benzene in it to keep cigarettes burning, (even when in the ashtray or presumably butted out in many cases), use insecticides and herbicides in the growing process, never clean the plants, but instead hang them to dry and spray them with more poisons during the curing process to keep the bugs and rats off, then begin to process the tobacco by adding various other toxins and poisons to 'enhance' the flavor and stuff like Benzene to make sure that people go through them faster, and nicotine of course, because they are not addictive enough as is, naturally.

Natural tobacco is just a leaf, a bit of smoke, some carbon dioxide and--depending on the burn--varying, but low amounts of Carbon Monoxide and nicotine, along with various other simple and common products of combustion.

..or to put it another way, natural tobacco is like a wood burning fire, and processed, manufactured tobacco is like a forge fire full of anthracite and no ventilation, if that makes more sense.

certainly it's shorter.

Crack and Meth are Drano and various other things. Some of the other stuff is bad in other ways, and I've heard people even like to drink anti-freeze.


Worse than most? No, but it is bad.

Yup, nothing like shooting up while in a 2000 person fleet fight
