Although admittedly prior judgement aside, it does its toll on judging priorities regardless. And by that I only mean good things don't seem to good anymore, and bad things don't seem that bad.. or at least one won't care enough for either of em. Then again, anything can jumble up your priorities. A significant other is probably a worse drug than any! 
aye mate.. I wouldn't judge you based on wot you put in your epidermis needle. 
but in all seriousness, theres a million stupid people not doing drugs who feck up your little natural selection scheme. probably more than are.
And now why are opiates so 'overly idiotic' yet blokes can go off about their acid or coke or weed whenever they'd like? I'm not understanding where the bad rap comes from. Unless of course, YOU, sir, mister holier-than-thou, are XXX, in which case I'd understand your 'I dinnieken cos I've never tried it' attitude. |
I didn't say sobriety was an index of intelligence, idiocy has very few limitations.
The bad rap stems from the ostensible fact that the majority of regular opiate users wind up addicted and a slave to the drug of their choice. Even if you manage to kick the habit, the index of relapse is so high that rehab clinics may see the same patient three, four times. Not to mention the glaring health consequences that exist just from regular use, I don't need to expound upon those, do I?
I have no problem with people using whatever drugs they choose. I do have a problem with people trying to justify those piss-poor decisions with corrupt logic. If getting high is really worth the risks you acknowledge exist, by all means, shoot up. Just don't expect any pity when the hammer falls.
A few of the drugs I consider "not worth it":
Crack cocaine
Amphetamines (meth & MDMA)
Opiates
Nicotine

I'm not suggesting that anything that poses health risks is stupid. But at some point you really need to consider whether the risks are worth the benefits of the drug.
