Why is the game, World of Warcraft, more addicting than methamphetamine?
DRUG ADDICTION REHAB 5 Comments »The game is notorious for destroying relationships and marriages, careers, and even personal health and lives.
First, I’m not defending to the cigarette…
But I think the alcohol produces more victims than the cigarette. Many people kill when are drunk driving a vehicle, fighting under the effects of the alcohol, or hitting drunk to her wife and children. Also, a lot of people die by cirrhosis.
I don’t know somebody has caused an accident to smoke, or the cigarette motivated somebody to fight and to kill another person, or somebody hit savagely his wife and children to be under the effects of the cigarette…
I think the alcohol is worse than the cigarette. However, every year, more billion dollars are spent in campaigns against the cigarette than against the alcohol…
Why to pander to the alcohol? How many trillion dollars are moved behind the industries of the liquor and the beer?
It’s a double moral.
An university professor said: “The alcohol is necessary in the society because it’s the drug that brutalizes… the governments need to govern brutalized people.”
NOTE: When I use the term “brutalize”, I mean to make to somebody idiot.” Please, excuse me if my translation to English is not the correct one.
If somone had never heard of either Cannabis or Sugar/fats/oils before in their life, and I showed them a highly accurate and detailed report of both substances how many people do you think would say bad food is way worse for you than cannabis??
I think the numbers would be overwhelmingly in favor of cannabis being better for you… Please keep in mind though the diffrence between abuse and use.
Let me clear up some Stuff as well. Sugar less addictive than weed? thats hard to belive, less than 1% of cannabis users develope a physical or mental addiction to Marijuana. While i don’t have statistics for sugar i can allmost garentee more kids/adults these days are addictied to sugar far more than they are to weed.
I am a person who has done MDMA(Ecstasy) meth, weed, coke, lsd, shrooms, dmt, alcohol, tabbaco, and i can honestly say giving up bad foods was the 1 thing i cannot do. And not im not obese or eat a TON its just i need them, its serously the only thing ive been addicted too.
Cannabis has worse effects over time? That’s debatable… diabetes, obesity, rotting teeth, gastrointestinal cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, low levels of physical activity all sound serous to me…
While cannabis has about 2-4X more cancer causing components than Cigarettes, studies show long term abuse of cannabis is unlikely to cause cancer of the lungs or upper airways. They suspect that tobacco only causes cancer because of the radioactive soil and nicotine. Also I might add an average marijuana smoker only needs 2-5 “hits” to get high while a cigarette smoker may smoke a Pack(!) a day and 1 cigarette alone will be more smoke than a marijuana smokes in 1 day.
I’m not saying cannabis is healthy I’m just saying sugar can and most likely is worse than cannabis if abused even If the marijuana smoker is an extremely heavy user.
and yes about 50% of america abuses it allready(bad foods)
Is dedicating ones life to religion worse than dedicating ones life to drug addiction?
DRUG ADDICTION REHAB 16 Comments »Drug addiction typically only causes damage to one person’s life – the drug addict. But religion causes damage to not just the religion addict but to almost everyone they contact throughout their life, especially their children, right? So in most cases, it would be better for humanity if religious people lived their lives in a drug induced haze rather than to have them screwing up their children’s minds, spreading their ridiculous beliefs to other people and voting for corrupt politicians who use religion to gain power, right?
Better than a new years resolution 2010 – simple yet powerful key to a happier more successful life
ADDICTION NEWS 5 Comments »
Better than a news years resolution, simple yet more powerful than the standard new years resolutions that are so common and nostalgic like that they hold little more value than just a prolonged verbal celebration to acknowledge that it is a new year. A month later it wears off. That’s because we are trying to change symptoms of our problems and not the problems themselves. My New Years Solution to getting a happier, more fruitful life gets at the foundation of our life’s experiences. The good, the bad and the ugly. The root of our happiness and success in life starts with the way that we think. Therefore being honest and evaluating how we have been thinking to use more of the good thinking and eliminating the harmful, non productive and sometimes downright destructive thought processes that we identify, can greatly increase the level of happiness because we have less stress, better relationships, and more success at achieving our goals. It’s as simple as reflecting back on our past experiences, the good and bad. Then keeping it real with ourselves. Step 1 Reflect back on the good life experiences. Go ahead and pat ourselves on the back and be sure to re use those thought patterns that help us get their. Step 2 Reflect back on our bad experiences and zone in on our contributions and decisions help us get there. Then we may need to identify an alternate way we could have behaved to get different results than what we found ourselves dealing with. This way we already have …

Russian version of Disney song from Cinderella 3. Мечта моя, ты шептала мне: (My dream, you whispered to me) Будет жизнь моя прекрасней, чем во сне, (That my life would be more beautiful that one was in a dream) Будут радостные встречи, будет свет и доброта, (There would be happy meetings, light and kindness) Разве это всё лишь мечта? (Is it just a dream?) Мой чудесный бал, мой счастливый миг, (My wonderful ball, my happy moment) Был волшебней он, чем сто волшебных книг, (It was more fairy than the hundreds of fairy books) Как забыть мой первый танец, что кружил меня тогда, (How can I forget my first dance twirling me then?) Был чем-то большим он, чем всего лишь мечта. (It was something more than just a dream) Может быть, мне всё приснилось, всё придумала я? (May be I was dreamt, I thought out everything) Но как пуста тогда будет жизнь моя (But my life will be so empty then) Dialogue. Пока исправить можно всё, мне не страшна беда. (Meantime I can improve everything; a trouble isnt awful for me) Где-то ждёт меня любовь моя, и мне пора туда! (Somewhere my love is waiting for me, and I must go there!) Не одной мечтой я теперь живу, (Now I live with not only one dream) Знаю, счастье ждёт не в мечтах, а наяву! (I know my happiness waiting for me non in dreams but in reality) Я спасу любовь, что светит мне сквозь дождь и сквозь метель, (I will save my love shining me through the rain and through the snowstorm) Ту любовь, что в двух шагах, а не за тридевять земель! (That love is …
