Re: Anyone ever heard of Salvia *NWS*
I just want to clarify. Someone earlier posted that pot isn't addictive. This is entirely wrong. Addiction is really an odds game. Some things (nicotine, opiates, etc...) are highly addictive. A large number of the people who use them risk addiction. Others (alcohol, marijuana, etc...) have a lower chance of causing addiction, but still can.
I've seen a lot of drug use in my life (some of which has been my own, though not for a looooong time). I've seen plenty of "hard" and "soft" drug use and none of it has been benefeicial to the user. Drugs are a drag on the users life. The more you use (any drug) the more the drag. It does not necessarily mean you will become a fuck-up or societal mooch. It does, however, mean you will likely not reach full potential. It could be a near trivial difference in the long run or it could ruin your life. It depends on the person, the drug, the frequency, etc...
To get back to the addictive aspects of Marijuana. My brother is without a doubt addicted. He cannot spend any lengthy period of time without it. He cannot face reality without it. My father was an alcoholic. It is my belief that the same tendancy towards addiction is the driving factor in both cases.
For those trying to justify alcohol as better in some way (and commenting about how "retarded" Salvia makes you) just do a search for drunks on video. Or better yet, hit up a frat party.
