Dope fiend cliche

An important argument for people that are against drugs is that "they fuck up your body and mind".

What is it that can fuck your body and brain up in drugs (except for the "junkie lifestyle")? Neither heroin or cocaine cause brain damage.

These drugs have harmful effects on your body and deplete some chemicals in the brain.

Yeah, I hate when people give me shit about doing certain drugs, when
they obviously have absolutely NO information on the drug whatsoever.
Sometimes it's fun because I then proceed to spurt out all the
information i know about it and it's safety (when used properly),
making them speechless and feeling dumb.

Just tell them to go read.

the thing that really confuses me is that certain other recreational activites (rugby, soccer, boxing, etc) can cause serious permanent physical damage, there isnt even any speculation over it, but nobody would dream of outlawing these. so why do people feel differently about drugs?

Watching people engaged in physical activity is entertaining(to some), watching someone engaged in an internal experience is not.Personally, I never understood why anyone would watch sports rather than participating in it.

Because sports like those don't expand your conciousness, and are therefore not a danger to society.

well i dont know but SWIM started doing cocaine since april 23 (just one small bump "per nostril" every day except on fridays SWIM will do about 6 small lines "per nostril") and SWIM's nose is already kind of fucked up. SWIMis not really scared about coke messing up the rest of SWIM's body aside from the nose.
