One shot at a drug is enough to make one an addict and then eventually destroy him or her.
Exactly, one puff on a joint and you're f***ed.

Agrred BL what a warped sense of reality, poplitical correctness at its worse. Anyone who does any research on the subject manner would see that addictive behaviour is pre-wired into a certain population of the world's brain and the substance doesn't manner.
Cigarettes and drinks are not so instantly damaging as drugs or guns.
Tell that one to the Fathers and Mothers who lost loves ones at the hands of a drunk driver.
I like a Non-PC quote from Llliy Allen.
“I know lots of people who take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work. But we never hear that side of the story. I wish people wouldn't sensationalize it.”

Totally agree,and all the people who die from smoking and alcohol related diseases, far more than any other "recreational drugs"
And these friends of Lily Allen whats up with them ?? "Get up and go to work"??
Most people I know who take cocaine don't even go to bed and still go straight to work

"Addictive behaviour is pre-wired into a certain population of the world's brain and the substance doesn't matter" does sound like a nice theory. If substance doesn't matter it implies that a pre-wired addict will get addicted to any substance. Does this theory also hold that he will get addicted to every substance he tries ? Or does it argue that the substance is one that he particularly craves but not others ?

It is addictive behavior that does not even have to be a substance hence the various addiction specialists.
Alcoholics
Sexaholics
Pornaholics
Shopaholics
Gameaholics
Sportsaholic
the list go on and on
Common Characteristics Among Addictive Behaviors
There are many common characteristics among the various addictive behaviors:
1. The person becomes obsessed (constantly thinks of) the object, activity, or substance.
2. They will seek it out, or engage in the behaivor even though it is causing harm (physical problems, poor work or study performance, problems with friends, family, fellow workers).
3. The person will compulsively engage in the activity, that is, do the activity over and over even if he/she does not want to and find it difficult to stop.
4. Upon cessation of the activity, withdrawal symptoms often occur. These can include irritability, craving, restlessness or depression.
5. The person does not appear to have control as to when, how long, or how much he or she will continue the behavior (loss of control). (They drink 6 beers when they only wanted one, buy 8 pairs of shoes when they only needed a belt, ate the whole box of cookies, etc).
6. He/she often denies problems resulting from his/her engagement in the behavior, even though others can see the negative effects.
7. Person hides the behavior after family or close friends have mentioned their concern. (hides food under beds, alcohol bottles in closets, doesn't show spouse credit card bills, etc).
8. Many individuals with addictive behaviors report a blackout for the time they were engaging in the behavior (don't remember how much or what they bought, how much the lost gambeling, how many miles they ran on a sore foot, what they did at the party when drinking)
9.Depression is common in individuals with addictive behaviors. That is why it is important to make an appointment with a physician to find out what is going on.
10. Individuals with addictive behaviors often have low self esteem, feel anxious if the do not have control over their environment, and come from psychologically or physically abusive families.

Thanks for an exhaustive listing of tell-tale signs that I am sure many LOS-addicted bros here identify with. I do certainly.
What I really wondered about was this "pre-wired" thingy. I am sure everyone of us is pre-wired in some way with regard to proclivities to certain substances or behaviour or influence or occupation. Just as many of us are also pre-wired AGAINST certain other substances or influences. We commonly refer to this latter as "allergy." So maybe addiction and allergy are the two extremes of this pre-wired programme. One attracts, the other repels.
If that is so it is easy to see why it is so important to tackle the one substance that causes maximum or instant impact. Just as you would take protective action against any ingredient that you are allergic to, society sees that it needs to take protective action against substances that people most get addicted to. Allergies and addictions can kill. Just that the deadly effects of addiction are far more widespread than those of allergies. Probably due to inadequate research and data on allergies. Even so.
Importantly, addiction related deaths are deliberate and self-inflicted. The targeted influence here is that which causes the most dramatic damage. As for alcohol and cigarettes, their effects are less dramatic when compared to the effects of drugs. Sure, drunk driving kills and ‘try telling this argument to the families of victims.’ But, there is a big element of “bad luck” that the victim happened to be in the path of the drunk driver. (This is not meant as an extenuating circumstance for the killer). In other words, the accident victim of drunk driving is rarely to be blamed. Same’s NOT the case with the victim of drugs. Families and law makers can hardly be expected to stand by when young people are DELIBERATELY poisoning themselves.
As you have seen, most leading countries have already initiated action to curb alcohol and tobacco too. But, given the sheer inadequacy of government efforts in most every country against big business, it makes no practical sense to open up several unmanageable fronts at one time. Go after the biggest first. Others can follow later. But kid gloves for the time being against alcohol and tobacco cannot be a good excuse for turning a blind eye to drugs. What we are really seeing in the world, as far as remedial action goes, is : ‘drugs first.’

Equating drugs with cigarettes and drinks and even motor bikes seems generously over the top to me. Equating it with liberal arms licences instead might have made for a better debate. Cigarettes and drinks are not so instantly damaging as drugs or guns. One shot at a drug is enough to make one an addict and then eventually destroy him or her. Smoke and drinks are not in the same league. They do give a person enough time and leeway to opt out. Just my 2baht bit.

This has a list of all drugs
http://au.reachout.com/find/articles/drugs
A drug is a broad label given to any substance that changes the way your brain works. Drugs can be broadly classified into three groups: depressants, stimulants and hallucinogens.
Alcohol is at the top of the list and its definatly a drug. As a content drug user for over 30 yrs
of various substances including the drug know as alcohol I considerate it a highly dangerous and addicitve drug especially spirits. The only positive is its all legal and quality tested and in measures so if you OD which happens especially in the young.You know that 56 tequila in an hour will kill you
That does not mean it should be banned im totally against the prohibition of all drugs.
Especially the illegality of alcohol would cause unseen problems as it did when first tried. Just as the prohibition of narcotics has caused nothing but destruction and chaos and corrupt police states.
my only addiction is sex though.

Because alcohol and tobaco are legal and therefore can be regulated. All other drugs are illegal only a handfull of countries dare some form of legality. These things therefore dont exist because they are illegal.
Im sorry but a high advanced society would rather regulate products than leave things as they are now.
People are not going to smoke or drink or use drugs less because governments say so. Things just diversify
which in illegal drugs leads to more problems.
Regulation and not arresting people for use is not being soft but is the only sensible way to tackle this huge problem and clean up the mess prohibition has created.

It is all about people desires to control others morality to what they think is right. The enforcement of laws against victimless crimes has never worked and never will.
Kaymax statement....
Families and law makers can hardly be expected to stand by when young people are DELIBERATELY poisoning themselves.
Why the f*** not. The key word is themselves. If someone wants to posoin their lungs with ciagarettes and liver with alcohol it is their personal choice. If a girl want to prositutue herself and I want to pay for her services why not.
I in totally in favor of legalizing all drugs and drastically raiseing the penalties on crimes while under the influence. DUI you loose you license for 5 years, first time, kill someone while drunk driving you spend spend a long time in jail. People who cannot control themselves while doing whatever they want to do themselves need to be kept away from society.
The loral majority are parnoid about f***ing drugs whereas they will not legalize pot for cancer sufferers while they pop their own pain killers.
People should have the freedom to do what ever they want to themselves and personnally responsible for any real crimes committed as a result of their action sober or non-sober
