in reference to a previous question with inaccurate answers,drug users tend to NOT use the drugs their parents did because they hate it, but inherit the addictive personality and do another drug.Cocaine and meth are NOT physically addictive and “crack babies” are a lie.Extreme heroin addiction could concievably kill a baby if the doctor did not know of the addiction and fetal alcohol syndrome is a known effect of underdevelopment from alcoholism on the fetus.
Lot of misinformation from kids with no experience or knowledge.
Shawna:degree in propaganda you beleive your own lies? Look in the medical literature and you will see I am right. There is no fetal syndrome that has been proven to negatively effect fetal development.Don’t you people realize that when you lie all the time, you lose credibility with discerning critics.
But your bosses don’t care about that, as long as they can brainwash the 85% of the population that is brain dead.good job.
that is, no syndrome associated with crack addiction, although babies born to crackhead mothers may be malnourished.Same with meth.Heroin is physically addictive and withdrawal could conceivably kill.And, as I said,fetal alcohol syndrome is well documented in the medical literature.

because he HAD a prescription drug addiction due to a legitimate illness? Why do they think that just because he HAD a problem with it in the past that it somehow makes everything he says invalid?

Doesn’t this go against their general way of thinking when it comes to non-discrimination in the workplace and non-discrimination in general. Doesn’t it also go against their thinking of rehabilitation?

in terms of ability to damage intellect, which drug has the highest potential make you stupid. this is what i think.
marajuana- memory dissolution comes to fruition, devreasing intellect considerably.
alcohol- kills brain cells, loss of intellect after enough drinking.
cocaine- not sure, alot of intellects (sigmund frued among others) used this drug extensively.
heroin- granted addiction, but aside from that it doesn’t make you stupid or anything. probably the best drug for the brain.
meth- induces psychosis and damages brain, brain damage no doubt.
ecstacy- changes neuropathways in the brain, a definite deficit of intellect.
lsd- hallucinations may persist, and while not conclusive people who overuse acid tend to become fried.
mescaline- organic deemed completely safe by recent harvard study using native americans.

how do you guys feel about certain drugs damaging the brain (i do not consider addiction damage).
