A drug called 'monkey dust' which causes people to eat faces and jump from buildings is spreading in

Dunno about you but I received an education as to the effects of drugs from an early age. Didnt stop people in my class becoming junkies.

It's also about circumstance, did a lot of those kids ever have a tangible future? (going by the location, i'm going with no) People also need to know they have something to lose if they get addicted to something that isn't socially accepted, and i can only imagine for most of the North of England, prospects are nearly zero.

I have the distinct wonder of living in a local **** hole estate at the moment and i can attest that most of these people are deadweight, if not abandoned by their own parents, society certainly has.

We as a country are doing "society" wrong, it's as simple as that, as much as the Grand Forehead Cameron talked up big society and northern powerhouse, it was just appearances and worthless soundbites.

"Drugs are bad mkay" isn't much of an education. especially when you and you friends start to smoke some weed and realise that there's not much of a downside.

Kind of like abstinence based sex-ed

I'd argue it's lack of common sense and addictive personality traits that make drugs harmful as to opposed to the drugs being inherently dangerous

I grew up with the Easyrider / Steppenwolf manual.

You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O'Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill.

After my twenties, I grew up and gave up.

Holy sweeping generalisations batman!

First off - there's no reason someone in the North doesn't have a tangible future. So you're wrong with your assumptions and imaginings.

I was raised by a single parent in the worst area of what was one of the worst towns in the country (it happened to be known as the UK's drugs capital for quite some time). Most of these other kids were raised under similar or frankly better circumstances than I was.
I achieved 11A*-B grades at GCSE (still bitter about that B), I have 7 A-levels and an honours degree. I've worked as an engineering consultant, I now run the engineering side of an offshore business (based in this here desolate north).

They had the same chances I had. They made their choices. I made mine.

@cheesyboy the education was far more substantial than that but again, continue with incorrect assumptions.

Well yes it is a generalisation i guess, but you can't honestly say there's not a bigger issue in the North of England than other parts of the country?
 
It's an epidemic here in Stoke. Witnessed one of the parasites from the Sally Ann earlier, spasmodically jerking about on some spare ground next to the Sally Ann whilst a group of other parasites cheered him on. Still not as amusing as watching on of them get the living crap kicked out of him by a tiny whore from the knocking shop opposite.

Saw another one a few weeks back (outside of the Polish supermarket next to the old Maplin store) fighting with the paramedics who were trying to help him.

So "Florida Man" can now become Fleetwood Man. And that Cake stuff sounds terrible? Someone should really raise concerns about it in Parliament.

Especially as it's so close to home :(
By the way Simon, thanks for the help with the monitor the other week.
Oops, Malevolence beat me to it with the point about it being so close to home.

How low must you be to think "yeah I won't bother with coke, meth, mdma, heroin, or all the other popular drugs. I'll take the face eater bath salts with horrific side effects instead"? There's misfortune and then there's complete stupidity.

How much of that is due to worldwide governmental monopolisation of drugs?

You see, all the "popular drugs" you've listed are all illegal. This causes their price to increase by thousands of percent. The value of concentrated vegetable extracts is about £300 per kilo, but it shoots up to £30,000 per kilo JUST because you've crossed an invisible line. I've never heard of Tomato Puree (or bath salts for that matter) costing £30,000+ per kilo just because you've had to ship it from Colombia.

What does this cause? It causes crime. It creates the opportunity for crime. It creates opportunity for people who are willing to take the risk - to make big money and quickly.

I cannot stress the significance of the existence of a force in society which is preying on people to make them take drugs. The fact that drugs are illegal, and thus a money making opportunity in society, means that people among us are actively trying to encourage drug use.

Illegality also causes people to have to use Synthetic weed or spice or bath salts and other **** due to drug testing.

The world wide Drugs War is a charade.

Humanity has wanted to relax, feel high and alter their states of mind for centuries. We should be educating people in safe drug use such as cannabis and teaching them how to use it properly, teaching about proper dosages, etc. Teaching them that there's never any reason to go above cannabis to enjoy themselves.

80% of people who decide to start smoking weed just lose control simply because they don't know how much weed they really need, because they're learning how to smoke spliffs from people who are trying to capitalise from them and sell them as much weed as possible. Goodness grief, growing up in the worst drug boroughs in the UK I know how it works, I know how lives are destroyed, it's not the drug, It's the underground nature of it. How many people will be taught how to maintain level tolerance? If there's no respect for the police then the drug is automatically a parade of rebellion. People want to roll the fattest spliffs they can because if there's no respect for the police there can be no respect for the plant.
