Amy Winehouse found dead (age 27)

drugs aren't BAD

Amy's last words.

The reason why many people think certain drugs are okay is because:

1. There is no one organisation that collects information about drug-related deaths, for all of the world.
2. There is no one definition of what we mean by drug-related deaths. For example, it could include:

• people who are dependent on drugs and overdose
  
• suicides by overdose of people who have no previous history of using drugs
  
• accidental poisoning or overdose
  
• ecstasy related deaths where people have died from overheating through dancing non-stop in hot clubs rather than from the direct effect of the drugs
  
• deaths associated with cigarette smoking
  
• deaths from accidents where people are drunk or under the influence of drugs
  
• murders and manslaughters where people are drunk or under the influence of drugs
  
• deaths from driving while drunk or intoxicated
  
• deaths from AIDS among injecting drug users
  
• deaths which had nothing to do with the presence of a drug in the body
  

Meaning that all drugs may not be directly bad, but being high leads to a lot of other bad stuff. Therefore drugs are bad.

Absolute truths don't exist my man. Have you been high? It's not that state that leads you to hit rock bottom, is the substance abuse that leads you to hit rock bottom. You don't get that and seeing your attitude, you never will.

Yes, drugs are related do a lot of bad things, but that doesn't make the substance itself bad.

What the pineapple Satellite. Your above post is ridiculous. Just look at your last point: "deaths which had nothing to do with the presence of a drug in the body." So what, all other deaths? Seriously?

Are certain drugs bad? In my opinion, yes, drugs such as meth, cocaine, and heroin are bad. Are all drugs bad? No, drugs like hookah, pot, and alcohol are not, if done appropriately. Key word there, because like Rob said it's the abuse of certain drugs that makes them seem "bad." Alcohol is legal all over the world, but leads to a lot of deaths. Why should it still be legal? Because said deaths were the result of incompetent abuse. People can have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer at a baseball game and not kill themselves.

Perspective, dude.

How dare you, you're insulting is clearly christian integrity! All drugs are bad, like all other religions are bad, they both cause massive death! Not to even starting with the sex, oh my jeepers, what a taboo!
