8/27 Your page was a great comfort to me, at least I know I'm not alone with my problems. My boyfriend is a weekend cocaine addict. When I first met him, I'd never tried it, and I think I got a bit addicted too. Now I hate the stuff because I've seen what it has done to us. The thing is that now he is no fun unless he is on coke, he isn't even a nice person. He shouts at me all week long, makes my cry, says the most horrible things and blames me for everything. I know it's not my fault, but it's making me ill. He expects me to drive him all the time to buy it, even when I've been up for 2 days and am completely out of my face. He calls me a boring bastard when I refuse (to get it and also take it) and goes in a huff. Why is it that without fail, midweek, he becomes a living nightmare. Screaming, throwing things, hitting himself, pushing me about etc.. for little or no reason. Every little minute issue becomes a major deal with him. I hate cocaine, you feel like you are on top of the world when you have just taken it, but when reality bites, you feel like shit. I'm not strong enough to hold both our lives together when he falls to pieces, he begs forgivness, but when Friday night comes round, he does it all over. Then he lies to everybody, from his son to his friends and lets everybody down becasue all he wants to do is party. The really sad thing is that he is 41 years old and still trying to act like a responsibility-free teenager. I'm only 25 but feel like 65 because of his bullshit. My advice is to take a good look at yourself, try to see what you have become through drugs. Don't make the people who love you as miserable as he makes me. One day I will break and I will go, who knows what will become of him then. Linda
8/17 First of all, I have to say great page. You provide some very good information for people looking for truly illicit drugs. even though I'm only 16, thanx to some of the dumbass things I've done have given me a kid on the way. I'm not addicted to anything. I used to use marijuana, or bud as we call it here in so-cal, almost religiously. this is when I was 12 years old. I would light up before school. ditch 4th period to light up again, come back during lunch, leave after school, and light up again, and then usually a few hours after that. I was going through almost an ounce of bud a week BY MYSELF. this went on for a year and a half, then I got caught. my parents found my pipe hidden in the garage. they weren't mad at me, but they still had a police officer come to the house. I am infinitely grateful to them for doing that. it has been 2 years since then, and I still have gotten stoned I think 3 times since then, but I will not ever again. I think after the first month of doing it, it stopped being fun. it just kind of became a habit. not really an addiction, but almost a kind of routine, and I couldn't break it. I'm done with that now. unfortunately, I didn't learn my lesson with that stuff. now, I'm a senior in high school (I skipped a grade). I was expelled last year for drinking. I feel so lucky that I never got caught on campus with pot. they never forget about that. A word of advice for all you other teens out there who are going to drink. putting vodka in a water bottle doesn't work for long. when people see you cringe after drinking water, they start thinking something up. I have one suggestion for your guy's site. there are many new things people are up to. pill popping. I will be having a kid, and currently have a concussion to thank for that. one of the biggest things with kids are a few prescription drugs that I feel you guys should put a little information about. those being Vicodin (hydrocodone), Valium, Soma, and Xanax. One of the worst things I have ever done to myself, is going to a party with some of my friends who make regular trips to Mexico for these items. I wanted to have "fun" so I took 6 of the 750mg hydrocodone, four tylenol #4 (w/codiene), and I don't know how many shots of seagrams 7. me and my girlfreind got to our thing, and she ended up pregnant, because I was stupid enough to still have a condom in my wallet when I left the next morning. after that was done, I lit a cigarette (yes, on top of all this, I smoke too, but that is my only addiction, apart form caffeine). I found out the hard way that vicodin, cigarettes, and me don't mix. I stood up, blacked out, and when I woke up 45 seconds later, I had a concussion, and I had fallen through a window onto a balcony and slammed the back of my head on a table. (and by the way, along with that concussion, came poor eyesight since it was tot he back of my head...) So basically, I did all this rambling to share an experience, the good, and the bad, even though I cant think of any good that can come out of this, apart from the fact that I can support my soon to be kid. I will not bring that kid up hard. He/She (I've yet to find out) will have a good home, will have plenty of food, clothes, and both parents around all the time. honestly though, I can say I learned my lesson, and I guess I just wrote all this so that maybe someone reading it wont make the same mistakes I did, because I know I still have my whole life ahead of me, and because of a few "cool" years, and a few "fun" days, I have to leave my whole teen and social life behind. the thing that got me into all this high lif, also kicked me out of it. Don't make the Same mistakes I did. John Southern California
7/29 My name is Nadine. I am a 20 year old woman who has been in the drug circuit myself. I am not e-mailing on behalf of myself, however. I am trying to start up a letter writing / card sending campaign for my boyfriend, Jordan. Jordan was deeply into drugs when we met over six years ago. He started drugs when he was 11 and used them consistently starting when he was 12, almost 13. In one year (between 13 and 14 years old), he had gotten into a deep rutt. His parents were divorcing and he was beginning to notice the drugs around him. One parent left and refused to speak with him. Four of his family members (on both sides) died in that year alone due to substance abuse (not his parents), and since then, he has lost six of his best friends to drugs. To the point of my letter - this October 17 will be Jordan's fifth year drug-free. Being immersed in drugs as bad as he was, I not only consider this a HUGE accomplishment, but a miracle. He is back on speaking terms with his parents, they reunited and speak regularly. Jordan has since spoken with over 30 000 people in schools, civic centers and by e-mail. He wishes to personally try to change the world for the better. In recognition of his accomplishments, I would like to start a letter writing / card sending campaign to Jordan for his fifth year drug-free. An address cards can be sent to is NA Spokesperson - "Jordan" 31 Cardill Crescent Waterloo, Ontario CANADA N2L 3G1 To preserve my anonymity as well as Jordan's, a mutual friend has agreed to collect all of the cards and letters and we will deliver them to Jordan on the 17th of October, when his day arrives. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you very much. Nadine. Nadine, wonderful idea, and it should be great encouragement for him. You are a great friend. DrugsTV
7/26 To whom will listen. I am 16 years old and I think that I need some sort of help. Being 16 I like to party and be "cool" with my friends. My best friend who is 18 introduced me to cocaine and crank about 3 months ago. I didn't touch drugs for almost a year after I realized that smoking weed made me get sick. When I did smoke weed I was doing it before I went to school ... after I came home from school and about 2 times before I went home for the night. I had the hookup, so I never bought a bag in my life... I knew the people very well and even started dating one of the guys just so I could get high all the time. I did try xtc once and I didn't like what I did. Truthfully all that I wanted to do was have sex. Thank God that I didn't because I found out that if you do when you are on X than you hurt your reproductive system. I than got pregnant and wised up. I stopped all the drugs and decided that I needed to grow up. Four months later I lost my baby to a car rollover. I was driving people that were drunk home cuz I was the only sober one. I was 15 when this happened. On Aug. 12th 2000 I lost my baby. I will never forget that night. So now to the current time. Like I said my best friend and some other friends were snorting coke and doing creedy foilies. I sat up all night and watched them. The next night I decided that I was going to try it. So I snorted 2 lines ... one up each nostril. I liked the numbing and the drip and found myself wanting more so I went into the room with everyone that was doing it and snorted about 12 lines that night/next day of cola in that one room. Than I went into the other room to see what everyone was doing in there and saw that they were doing some lines... so I went to do one and couldn't do it. That burned my nose. I found out that it was crank. I don't like that. I have done cocaine about 2 times a week for the past 2 months and I stay up for days ... and I am too scared to go home thinking that my Mom is gonna know so I stay out and don't go home for days. I know that this is killing my Mom inside and she is all that I have right now and I am all that she has. I realize that my best friend is not my best friend ... she sleeps with all the guys that I like and she gets me in trouble. Yes, I will admit I like to party and have fun but I don't want to do drugs anymore. I just don't know how to stop. And I have cut back since I have the chance of maybe being pregnant from a one night stand with a friend that won't even talk to me anymore. We were drunk and I was on cola and he was high. I know that I am making me sound bad and probably like a slut ... but we all make mistakes. I know that I have been making a lot and I know that I need to change I just don't know how. It may sound like I am blaming all of this on my friend but I truthfully feel that if Iwouldn't have started hanging out with her that I wouldn't be having to write this email and be in this bad situation. I mean come on... I live in the state of North Dakota ... and this state is NOT as innocent as it may seem. There is nothing to do for fun but get drunk, go to parties, and do drugs. The way that I came across this site was from my mother. She sent me this. She asked me if I was on drugs and I lied to her and told her that I wasn't, that was so hard for me to do to her. I wasn't even going to open this mail up and look at this site but she asked me to and I am glad that I did ... because I read the other posts that people wrote and I decided that I would write and see if I get a response to get some information. I do know that I need to choose my friends wisely and that I need to realize that I don't need drugs ... it is just hard to stop them and face reality. When I am on them I feel so good and I feel like no one can bring me down... I feel like I am in a good world where no one gets hurt... than when I come down, I have to face the harsh realities of life. Please help me, I am scared, lost, and confused. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Danielle Danielle, thanks for your letter, and your bravery to face the fact that you need assistance. Here are several numbers for you to call: 1-800-662-HELP, 1-800-347-8998 and 1-800-COCAINE. Be honest with them, as you were honest with us. Ask these people who can best help you in your area. Danielle, we know that you feel lonely right now, and scared to approach your mother. Perhaps you don’t feel that your mother is the best person to talk with, but she obviously cares very deeply about you. Maybe you can give her a chance by opening up about your situation. Beyond your mother, the numbers above will put you in touch with people who also care, and you will soon find out that you are not alone at all. Please stay in touch, DrugsTV Danielle, Hi Danielle. My name is Karen and I'm a volunteer with Abortion Tv, another part of Drugs Tv. It is obvious that since your mother sent you the web site for Drugs Tv that she not only loves you, but she cares. When I was younger I never had really gotten into the drug scene, but I did love to drink, and spent most of my week ends drunk. I guess the first thing I would do would be to talk with my mom, and then drop the friend. There are many youth programs out there that maybe you could get involved in, and find knew friends. Friends that care about YOU!! You said that you might be pregnant. Have you taken a test yet? If you are pregnant you shouldn't just cut back from the drugs, but you should completly stop. Remember you are not the only person involved in this now, but you have to think about the baby. EVERYTHING you drink, or smoke effects the baby inside of you. Go visit a NNICU (Neo Natel Intensive Care Unit) Maybe it would be a real eye opener for you. Remember, you have already lost one child. No one thinks your a slut. You are not the first young lady who has slept around, and you won't be the last. I became pregnant when I was 16, and I gave birth to a healthy baby girl, whom I placed for adoption. Not because I didn't love her, but because I needed to grow up, and this child deserved two parents to raise her. I feel that that is what is wrong with our world today. Many of our youth are growing up without a mother or a father figure in their lives. Please know that your not alone, and what we have done in the past can be just that, left in the past. We can move on with our lives. We will never forget, but we can be forgiven, and start over. Please keep in touch and do let me know about whether or not your pregnant.

7/18 i left Utah to get away from it. i done real well while i was away. met a beautiful women, and we lived together for a year and a half. then my family needed my help so i went. but would you know it guess what was also there. anyway a couple months went by and my girlfriend came to see me & i was on it .she left in a hurry.when she got back home she told me she had to decide what to do .let me go or stay with me & wait couple more weeks for me to be home .she not only left me but she already had another guy. i pleaded with her to let me come home and she refused.she even entirely turned her back on me and wouldn't speak to me for a while. a time in her life when she needed me I was there, but when I needed her the most she was no where around. So because of it I ruined something very special to me. but instead of letting me come back to where I didn't have a problem with it, she let me stay right where the problem was. Lux
6/30 I've give all you that go into running this site the upmost praise. it is really great the way you show people the problem drugs are and presenting people with information on them. keep it up! -mike
6/13 Hello, this is my first time here,and I never thought I would be at this type of site before. For the longest time I thought drug use was "fun and" "cool". It was almost as thoughit put me above other people my age or something because I was doing the extreme. I started getting really into it though after awhile. I grew up with an abusive stepfather, who was almost always drunk, and a "pothead" mom. And most of what I saw never phased me. The first time I can really recall doing a drug, I was 12 or 13, and with my mom and babysitter-who let me smoke pot. For a couple of years I smoked alot of pot and drank quite a bit. All of the sudden however I started becomming incredibly terrified whenever I smoked pot, and eventually got myself to stop. For about a year I mostly just drank alot, and it got to be pretty bad. I was drinking alone,and my friends would be sober and disgusted with me about half of the time because I was getting drunk and bieng ridiculous. Finally I laid off a bit, and cut it down to social drinking. But I still had alot of friends tell me that I drank too much when we were drinking, I just could not stop until I was passed out. Well anyway, it is not so bad anymore, though I do still kind of go out of my way to get heavily intoxicated while at parties or sitting around with friends, I make an effort to not drink as much as possible.A year and a half ago, this girl I knew gave me some of her pills, Adderal, I was not sure what they would do, becasue I had only tweaked once or twice off of ritilin. I kept popping them and popping them, until I was speeding real hard, and I was in school most of the time. By the end of it, around the second or third day, I became incredibly paranoid and could thought that I could hear people in other rooms talking about me.This scary experience however, didnt really stop me, as I continued to take ritilin and adderal, and eventually buying crank on occasion..It was pretty much ok, until about 6 months ago when I started going out with a new guy, who didnt really do much speed,but had hookups. It started out with us doing a few grams in a couple of days, and on hte weekends usually .But now I am making my friends hate me..I got a new job,and alot of dealers are there, and I find myself really really needing to do it..Yesterday, my boyfriend broke up with me, and my 2 best friends have pretty much written me off for the time bieng, because of my behavior, I started to not care about them anymore.They are through with me,and dont trust me with thier boyfriends becasue I got really close to fooling around with one of them, though I could not bring myself ot do it..I have been up for about 5 days out of 7 this past week, I have dropped around 10 pounds, and I have been showing up to work while high. I have friends who think it is "fun", people who think it is "cool" and then I have myself. Today I was alone, with my best friends hating me, and my boyfriend not my boyfriend anymore. And all I could do was smoke crank. I budget my paychecks around buying it. I try and figure out the best people to hang out with in order to be able to smoke and snort it freely.At first I thought it was for fun but now I am scared that I have aproblem. I am barely 16 years old, and I think that I might be addicted to meth. I dont know if it is a subconcious thing, like I am trying to put myself above the so called "goody two shoes" or if I really just cant quit. My friends said today, that they would not talk to me until I quit or got help, and I found myself thinking of ways to buy it and do it and keep it hidden from them,as well as everyone else.I am scared right now, and alone. I spent the duration of my workshift sick and in pain because I have been coming down. I dont know what to do. I dont want to stop,because I love it so much..As a "writer and artist" I find myself depening on it to be able to kind of squeeze every idea out of my head, and get it all down. I know I am talking alot, but I want to be honest here. A few weeks ago, another freind got me some adderal for free,because I couldnt get any crank, and instead of taking the prescribed 35 milos a day, I took about a 140 in a 2-3 hour period, and this was coupled with drinks..I was in extreme physical pain, and disoriented as well, I had to force myself to vomit a number of times, and I think that if I had not, I could have ended up in the hospitol. The moment I felt better, I started popping them again. I have had horrible hallucinations, and even worse come downs. And yet somehow I cant seem to just stop. I am throwing away money that could go to my schooling...and I am making my friends dislike me.I think I might need help. People keep telling me that I have changed, I was always kind of moody before, as I have been diagnosed with some fairly extreme depressive disorders, mainly bi polarism and anxiety disorder, but accodring to my friends I have become a real "bitch". As I have been writing this, I realize that I really am afraid to stop, and that I dont want too. I refuse to tell my grandparents whom I live with, because all of thier children including my mother have had drug abuse problems in the past, and I DONT want to put them through that. I need to find a way to quit cold turkey or something. I want my friends back, and I kind of miss living in the real world. Please tell me whatever you know. Peace,Love,Empathy, Karly Karly, you are taking the first and most important step – coming to realize that you need help. The most important thing you can do now is contact a local drug treatment program in your area. Please let us know the city you live in and we will forward more information. The good news is that you’re still young, and you are realizing at this age that you need to change. Believe us, there is every reason to be hopeful. DrugsTV
5/9 Caffeine is a drug as well. Some people become very addicted to it, and i think you should post something of this matter as well. Brigg Good point, we’ve been thinking about adding a section on it, DrugsTV
5/2 I understand completely how quick and easily drugs can DESTROY your life... I had a REALLY CLOSE FRIEND die august of 99. He had taken some xtc and some kind of morphine pills and his heart couldn’t take it. Veri
4/18 I saw this sight when I was trying to find information for a term paper. I really like this cause it made me feel good for the people that have got straight. I myself have never tried meth but I have been around many people that do, my family, boyfriend and everyone done it then the police started taking over are town, and now nearly everyone is clean and I love it, my life is now back to normal. People don’t realize that when they do drugs it don’t just mess up there lives but it crushes the people around you that care. Sincerely, Interested
4 I got a roommate at the semester break and he likes to use my phone (cuz he doesn't have one) to talk to his friends about their "special K" production. granted his business is his business but I don't want to get arrested or anything should he get arrested also. he always talks about selling "Tina" and "Gina" to people at clubs. frankly I don't like him so he can screw up his life with drugs and I don't care. however, I don't want anyone else to get screwed over because of him. I don't trust the cops in my little college town so my sister (who is taking a class on drugs) gave my this web address. please email me back with any options that I have. thanx lAdZ Request an immediate transfer to another room (preferably in another building). Only bad things can happen by hanging around a guy like this, and college life is too short to have to put up with a situation that sucks. DrugsTV
4 This is to whom it may help. Don't do anything because your friends are or it is the happening thing at the time. that is what I did and it started two years ago. I am clean now and I see how bad I really was. my relationship with my family suffered and at the time I thought why are they out to get me but I didn't realize it was the meth paranoia that made me wonder. I was kicked out on several occasions lost jobs lost friends. some to the jail and others to the games your mind plays. If anyone is wondering what it is like and just going to check it out don't it will ruin your life as well as your families. that is how it started with me and became an everyday thing for 2 yrs. LadyB
4 I have learned so much from your web site and hope to have time to read more about drugs. I have 3 teenagers and am working hard to keep them away from drugs. I have suspected drugs use with my 17 year old and have just found pills in his room that I am suspicious of. They are yellow, thick and round with a V scored in the middle of both sides. Do you recognize this as some type of illegal drug? I just though I would ask before I take them to be checked out. Thanks for your time. LP LP, we have a strong suspicion about what they might be, but please take them to a local medical authority for positive identification. Also, take some time to talk to your kids about drugs, especially after reviewing the information in DrugsTV. They will definitely learn something. DrugsTV
3/7 I was clean for 1 1/2 years off crystal and coke, and about a month ago i started up again. ive been sleeping with a few drug dealers, so i still dont have to pay for my dope. last week was the first time i tried smoking meth. i didnt think it was all that big of a "rush." im trying to get my life together little by little. Anon
3/3 I got addicted to marijuana when I was 18...and now I’m 20.i'll tell you one thing. It took me 2 long years if pain and suffering to get over it. Don't ever think drugs are cool...the same way I did. Now,i'm trying to go on..and get my life back. Sure you feel good the first time you try it...after long term addiction...it gets ugly..BELIEVE ME..I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE! Anonymous
2/19 I just found your website. At 27 years old, I am addicted to meth. The first time I tried drugs at all was at the age of 24. About one year ago, I began dating a known meth dealer. Little did I know he was also a chemist. Addiction drove me to learn this trade myself. I lost 60 pounds in three months. I destroyed my family and caused immeasurable pain to my kids. Four months ago, my lab was raided. I am about to become a convicted felon. Because I have no criminal history, the prosecutor is willing to give me a second chance and I have been clean since my arrest. Now I am working hard on getting my life back. Three years ago, I was a homemaker. Today my little boy laughs when he asks me what kind of bird doesn't sing. The production of meth is almost as easy to learn as using the telephone because of how quickly the information spreads. If you haven't picked up that first drug--DON'T!! If you already have--just stop long enough to look at how much pain you are likely causing the yourself and the people you love. Most important--do not lie to yourself about what it is doing to your life. Although meth is extremely addicting, it can be controlled! And if you think none of this stuff will happen to you...so did I? Anon
1/09 As a Pro-life Libertarian, I truly enjoyed your site on abortion. I have long felt that the right of an individual to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is applicable to all people, including the unborn and newly born. I do have a problem with your drug site, however. Being a Libertarian, I want facts -- BUT I want ALL the facts. I noticed you were careful to list the negative effects of marijuana, but failed to mention any of its benefits. Am I to assume that there aren't any? Do you really think you can present a one-sided view of an issue and get away with it, when dealing with Libertarians? As far as I can tell, you also failed to mention that drug use is a personal choice; not constitutionally under the purview of government. This would help provide balance. This is also an important fact to stress, considering that the damage done to our constitution and our public safety is astronomical because of the communist/collective mentality of the drug warriors. This site amounts to propaganda. Save your one-sided idiocy for the Dictatorial Republicrats. Anon DrugsTV is designed for one purpose only -- to educate. It it not supposed to be anti-drugs, simply an information source. Given this, it is self evident that most forms of illegal drug abuse are simply destructive. If you can provide us with documented evidence about marijuana's benefits, we'd be happy to publish it. DrugsTV
2 To Whom Can Help Me OUT!!! I have been battling this for about 5 months now... I was a long-term user of Meth and stopped for about 1 year. I restarted back in October of 2000 for a short period of time (approx. 3 days). I used for the 3rd time and became very disoriented and faint. I lost all ability to breath and ended up calling 911. From that day on I have not been myself. Not able to breath effectively and feel very helpless. It is very painful to take a breath and when I try and take a full breath I can only go halfway most of the time. I have been going to my normal doctor as well as specialists. They have tested everything from stomach to lungs to heart etc. I know and feel it is my lungs and am wondering if there has ever been a discussion of my particular situation. I will NEVER use again and am worried that I will have a long-term effect from this unfortunate circumstance. Could I have some sort of Toxic poisoning or something? Please help as my doctors can't find anything wrong....' Best regards, A very sorry person We’re even sorrier that we can’t answer your question. Best advice is to keep check specifically with a doctor who is familiar with drug problems – you’re bound to find one who’s seen similar symptoms. Your average MD, however, is not exposed to this everyday. DrugsTV This person might have been exposed to some of the chemicals used in the meth making process, anhydrous, lye, ect... Most doctors do not know what they are treating. Police officers who have been exposed to some to these chemicals while making an arrest, often have the same problems whit doctors. This person might try to get a hold of the state crime lab for narcotics and ask for a lab person who might know what you have been exposed to. This often helps the doctors know what they are over looking. Here in Iowa we had a deputy get hurt during an arrest. The doctors did not know how to treat him, till a crime lab person called the doctor and told him what to look for. Hope this might help. Also you might want to help the police find this person who you got the meth from. They might find the chemical that, the cooker is using that hurt you. Iowa police officer.
12/21 Dear Drugs TV- Unfortunatly for me I am addicted to meth. I am 18 years old. I have been smoking "glass" and/or "ice" for over a year. I started slamming it about four months ago when I met a chemist. I have to "tweek" every day just so I can function. My tolerance level is ridicuous, sometimes I don't even get high, I'll just feel weird, no matter how much I do. I decided to write this so anyone who is thinking about trying meth won't. Or if you already do, will at least try to stop. At first it's seems like no big deal, but after a while you want more, and more. Don't let that happen. Stop while you still can, don't end up like me. Don't let drugs control and destroy your life, it's not worth it. -Jen
11/10 DrugsTV, Your website is great, except for the fact that you have not adressed the good things about marijuana. Marijuana, when used organically, it is medically safe. Marijuans boosts the immune system, helps depressed people, and helps people from going blind. It is not physically addictive, and doesnt cause mental problems. You cant overdose unless you smoke your body weight in 3 hours. I am a person who knows users, users that are in good health, and some who have been doing it since the 60's. Marijuana, is OK when it doesnt control your life, ans when you use it organically. Legalize it! >From Maverick
10/06 I just want to say that it is a commonly known fact among meth addicts that meth destroys your gallbladder. All the other physical damage seems to be published everywhere, like damaging your never endings causing permanent brain damage, depression and psychosis, heart problems, strokes, etc. But the GALLBLADDER is usually one of the first things to go for abusers who have used heavily for a long time. Please add this to your site in the list of physical effects of methamphetamine. I hope that by spreading the word, I can maybe help some addicts to recover physically and get the health and strength they need to kick their addiction. I know first hand because my husband has been a long time user and he is in such poor physical condition, he is in constant pain. he is having his gallbladder removed and I hope that this helps him somewhat. thank you. Michelle
9/30 Hi it's me Debby88 from the AbortionTV site and this is the first time I've ever really checked this other site out. Drugs really messed me up when I was 16 and 17. I'd always suffered with depression and I thought drugs may be the answer. I was always teased at school about everything and had no friends, so I transferred to a highly religious private school, and you know when you're that age everything adults do or say you want to do the exact opposite. I met some "friends" in the winter of 1997, from the ages of 12-15, but they were all into drugs and crime, and I started doing drugs, and I realize now that one of the big reasons they wanted to be friends was because I was the only one who had a car and could drive. Anyway I just at first started doing weed, once I got ahold of a joint mixed with crank and it really messed me up. I was driving around with people in my car and I stopped on the parking lot and was talking to someone and the cops pulled up and told us to leave. I drove right over the sidewalk and onto the street, I don't know why but the cops didn't go after me. Then I started stealing and committing stupid crimes that I was luckily never caught for. I stopped doing drugs 1 week after my graduation from High School in May of 1998, but the after-effects lasted nearly 6 months later. Finally in the fall of 1998 after a couple of the things my "friends" and I did made the newspaper, I felt really bad, the relationship with my parents, especially my mom was deteriorating, I shouted at her all the time and called her names, she was threatening to send me to boot camp but knew it was more than less moot at that point because I was soon to be 18 and could get out of it. It's strange one night I just felt so bad and felt like God was calling me to be away from those people, and so I broke all ties with them and haven't talked to them since. Please if you think getting into drugs is cool it's really not, it has an impact on your whole life. If you want a nice job, most nowadays do drug testing and they can tell by a strand of hair if you've done drugs within 90 days, so you're out of luck there, plus drugs influence you to do things you normally wouldn't do. You can really mess yourself up. I'm nearly 20 years old and going to college now, and I'm glad I didn't get into drugs anymore than what I was. If you are addicted to drugs, I desperately urge you to get help somewhere, because that homeless person on the street who has no money because he/she blew it all on drugs could be you in 20 or 30 years. Peace, Liz (Debby88) PS. Drugs can also really mess up your friends and it's sad. I mean when you're there and actually doing the drugs you'll probably think it's funny, but if they have a violent reaction to it you wont. One friend of mine who I regrettably got to do drugs once seen purple dogs leaping in the trees and then got violent and started attacking people in the car, another friend of mine thought she had bugs all over her and slapped and punched herself so much to "get them off" she had multiple bruises and marks the next day. Thankfully both friends are off drugs today, we all quit at about the same time, and we're all thankful we didn't get into truly hard drugs like crack or injectable drugs, the ones we did do were enough....just wanted to pass this on as well.

I was addicted to methaamphetamine. I snorted it, smoked it and shot it up. It nearly killed me. I was a psychotic drug induced mess. used to stay up for days..blacking in my car..in parking lots...and while driving..resulting in a terrible accident...I even went to jail once for possession. Anyone out there using meth should stop immediately and seek help. My philosophy regarding meth is as follows.....it's like making an appt. with the devil and he arrives early and stays late...I nearly destroyed myself and my family as a result of my meth abuse...

8/5 "ICE" I am educating myself on this horrific drug and am trying to help someone who uses. I am curios as to how ice is smoked. Can it be heated with an ordinary torch flashlight) as this person carries around a pocket sized torch? (read in another article that it can be heated with a torch) If so, how does the torch melt the drug? Thanks for your reply Karen The answer is yes about your torch question. "Ice" (methamphetamine) can be taken in many ways -- most common are injected, oral, smoked, sniffed. DrugsTV
7/30 ALPHABET OF DRUGS A is for addiction, your whole life is devoted to drugs, B if for booze, it messes with your mind turning consumers into thugs, C is for the cravings, the uncontrollable desires, D is for downers, relaxes and tires, E is for escaping your problems trying to forget, F is for failure, sorrow and regret, G is for GHB which has a slightly salty taste, H is for heroin, claims the lives of many, what a waste, I is for injecting, where problems have arisen, J is for justice putting pushers into prison, K is for the killing which happen every year, L is for LSD, when wearing off, brings fear, M is for the mothers who cry because they care, N is for the need to take away despair, O is for overdose which the medical profession hate, P is for peer pressure, applied sometimes by a mate, Q is for queasiness, the dizzy effect, R is for the risk knowing people might suspect, S is for solvents like gas and aerosol spray, T is for tranquillisers to get you through the day, U is for uppers to bring you back from hell, V is for vomiting, the retching and the smell, W is for withdrawal, needs willpower which comes from within, X is for xerosis, solvents cause this dryness of the skin, Y is for yield, giving in to the temptation, Z is for zest, intense enthusiasm and elation. DRUGS AND DEATH Drugs are usually brought from friends and dealers in night clubs, but sometimes even on the street or in the local pubs, deaths from falls are often due to alcohol misuse, drownings and suicides are from other drug abuse, an hour after taking LSD, the trip begins, taking drugs brings a multitude of sins, some sniffers put their heads inside plastic bags, and occasionally combine sniffing with smoking fags, drugs can seriously damage your health in both the long and short term, if you suspect your child does drugs you have to be caring but firm, one of the risks of taking a drug is you could have an extreme reaction, the appeal of taking drugs is the danger and satisfaction, some sins to spot drug taking are sudden changes in mood, or aggressiveness being violent and being very rude, some drugs give an instant energy boost, which makes you reckless and wild, But if you take drugs and know the risks you are a very silly child. GENERAL DRUGS Alcohol is one of the easiest drugs to obtain, another is solvents like glue and butane, both these make your nervous system decrease, especially if the amount of drug is increased. Downer drugs make you feel relaxed and calm, but many drugs bring psychological and physical harm, nasal columns collapse after sniffing has been abused,many people lose their friends when they have refused. When you have stopped taking, the temptation never goes away, you want the crazy feeling you got from sniffing aerosol spray, you try and fill the time you once used for smoking blow, but you can't concentrate and the time just goes so slow. You now buy the stuff in and sell it for double, you are a dealer and now can get in worse trouble, this is the only way to pay for your gear, to get you back in your own world out of here BACK TO DRUGS They told me that the drugs I'd took, hadn't been tampered with or cut, when I'd found they had been cut I threatened to go elsewhere, but they knew I would not as I was in despair, what was the attraction the appeal?, being part of the group and the way they made you feel, now I can not get off the stuff, even though my body has been treated bad enough, they said they had decided to up the pay, I was so desperate I'd find the money some way, begging, stealing or on the game, all this for trying to be the same, if I could turn the clock back I would, even though this is my fault and avoided this I could.
