When did it become cool to be a drug addict?

[Gold]

Drugs are there to change our perception and feel good... since the dawn of civilizations everybody's been trying to get high its in human nature

You can use drugs and not be an addict though

But then again the point could be made that the music isn't advocating addiction but rather recreational use

Weed is not a gateway drug. The real gateway drugs are thsee damn chemicals in the foods that lead to diseases where people end up being prescribed meds from these pharmaceutical companies.

yes, it is


but that doesnt mean everyone will move up to harder drugs..

 

[LunaticVillage415]

Does it matter though? That shyt is strong enough where it can kill you. That's bad enough

It's only when you mix lean with alcohol, xanax and other drugs can you really die or if you have sleep apnea or some other disorder. Alcohol is much more dangerous and kills way more people in hella different ways (i.e. car crashes, accidents, homicides, literally 80%+ of murders involve alcohol). Alcohol is more dangerous because it's socially acceptable, easy to get, relatively cheap, legal and it goes hand in hand with violence and reckless behavior. This is coming from an alcoholic. Lean seems like a fly by night trend. I tried lean once, I didn't like it. Didn't pay for it either, Moms gave me the prescription bottle she got prescribed when I had a bad cough.

exactly fam it all depends on the individual and how far they let them self's go with their recreational use

Lol @ drugs & alcohol being cool.

Tell dat stupid shyt to da people who've lost thier lives, homes, jobs, kids, families, etc. to dat bullshyt. And I'm not just referrin to da mufukkas actually doin em neeva.

Lil Wayne made it trendy even if Screw was the originator.

Are cats in here denying this?

 

[Man Down]

I think all drugs should be legalized and controlled. I mean, like alcohol and tobacco, there should be a age limit and such, but pass that point most 18+ are going to do drugs anyway. Might as well have them do it legally and safely.

No, it's not. Weed isn't even a hard drug. Aspirin is actually a hard drug. You take enough of those shyts and see where you end up. Plenty of people have liver problems because of that shyt. Many people that take aspirin certainly don't mind taking other over the counter medication that leads to them being comfortable with drugs. That's why you have these companies promoting pills on tv and etc. They literally say that drugs like that are okay but are ready to say no to cocaine when that shyt can also be used as a painkiller too or wake someone's ass up if they're depressed or need energy.

Let them nikkas destroy themselves, not my problem

 

[PhonZhi]

Dirty Sprite 2 got a couple of square nikkas I know smoking weed and drinking lean Future got that type of influence

As far as Future, Wayne and this lean shyt...it's really just a result of a lack of education on shyt. If parents were a lot more straight forward with their kids about drugs, I bet the lean usage in this country would plummet.

@JordanwiththeWiz just out of curiousity, what is the parents involvement in the guys that u speak of? Are they both actively involved? No father? Etc?

Im not denying in the least bit that the home is the most important factor, but to dismiss peer pressure and the influence of public figures with a large following and platform would be incorrect. Even youth with the best upbringing are susceptible to these things. I agree tho, it definantly starts with education in the home.

 

[PhonZhi]

Close thread. Anyone who went to HS or college from carter 2 to no ceilings remembers how much influence he had on the youth during that run, that includes drug usage.

This is the coli where music has 0 affect on the human brain

lol you fukking clowns. the average person can't even afford learn to get addicted to it. that's why they get people to "try" lean a few times, then cut off they supply. then they suggest them legit heroin, os that they can feel the same thing. then eventually they become addicts. no broke ass regular nikka is getting addicted to lean like that.

Run up on a lot of the skinny jeans wearing cats out here doing them Young Rich home quan dances and drinking outta Styrofoam cups on that Lean shyt and hand 'em a spoon, a needle and a belt and see how quickly they go . It's easy as fukk to drink shyt out of a cup since you don't got to work towards getting high with that method of absorbtion, swallow and keep it moving, that's COMPLETELY different to making a dude squeeze his arm to find a vein, suck out blood and then slam the plunger. Unless you were talking about smoking heroin 'cause that's the cousin of crack in term of looks and method and ain't nobody rapping or listening to rap running out to get swept up smoking nothin' crack related 'cause a few turn up songs.

Spoiler

And I hope it never comes to this.

And you say the average dude can't get 'lean'?Now that it's so popular and well documented, you don't think it got dudes out here boosting pharmacies for that shyt or finding out that the previous weed/pills man now got bottles of cough syrup for sale as well?C'mon, breh. Don't do that to yourself.

you stupid mother fukker, do you even read? the AVERAGE dude isn't fukking "boosting" pharmacies or out buying lean in the first place. MOST people can't afford enough lean to become addicted to it you clown.

Never had cause to use that, thanks.

Secondly, 'breh', did I say that the AVERAGE dude is boosting pharmacies to support his high or did I simply say that the main ingredients in lean is flooding onto the streets from dudes WHO boost pharmacies and from drug dealers that once only catered to the WEED AND PILL market?

And the average dude can't afford lean , dude this ain't fukking Cocaine. The average dude ain't got friends with access or can afford to break off 200-300 and make the shyt last? I ain't trying to make it look like EVERYBODY out here getting sick on the shyt, but Lean is common as fukk now in the club scene, not to mention the dudes who out here selling bogus prescriptions and making people ill on some 'Arm and Hammer' type burn shyt.
Lastly, learn to COMPREHEND before you just start slamming insults on people, man, makes you look dumb as fukk or at the very least unable to hold your own in an argument/debate while trying to bring out your opinion with whatever facts/information you tryin' to drop, dude.

 

[Ooh Marty]

doing crack cocaine was the thing to do in the 80s.

my older cousins told me all about the infamous crack cocainie era

tbh, doing hard drugs was always in. It just went mainstream tho.
