Drug Info
A large number of young people at any time may ingest pills or "white powder" drugs. Many are popular in the dance party rave scene that is a "mating ground", and therefore carries many obligatory social interactions. One of these may involve drug taking. The law sees drug distribution as a serious offence as politicians seek votes from the majority who are frightened by a common threat of death that surrounds modern day "magic potions". The young people taking drugs are more savvy to the scene than their parents, but assumed knowledge is as dangerous as hidden ignorance.
Drugs are generally bad for you on a number of counts:
- They are illegal
- Some of them will create a dependence upon its continued use
- Some of them will create conditions that physically harm your body
If two more more of these conditions are present, the drug is not something you want to rely upon for your good feelings.
Blanket drug laws are evidentally disrespected by so many, that it becomes important to educate about these factors as they relate to drugs. Not only for those who risk these factors, but for those who decide how that tide of use is regulated. When the law does not make sense the masses ignore the law. Legislators are forced to take this into account and laws thus evolve around the natural behaviour and reactions we have. When this fails to work, social chaos results.
Declaring any drug use is social chaos is to say we live, now, in a state of perpetual war in the comfort of our own homes. This sounds a little absurd but it is no less absurd than spending more fighting cannabis than metamphetamine.

- Speed Info
- Ecstasy Info
- Ketamine Info
Ecstasy is what most young people buying pills in night clubs think that they are swallowing, and in most cases, Ecstasy (MDMA) causes no damage as it passes through and douses your brain with all its serotonin, releasing the dam, emptying the happiness reservoir for one night of super fun. The payment is usually a sharp bout of depression but the brain recovers. Serious consequences are relatively rare. You are more likely to get run over by a double decker bus (and that does happen, too). E is not habit forming, except that it exists as a dance culture. E is not very harmful to the body.
Ketamine is often passed off as Ecstasy or taken when no Ecstasy is available. It is not that harmful under controlled conditions. If you drink alcohol with it, you may have very severe reactions. You may also go into a K-hole - a dark warm and cuddly place that may not be much fun at a rock concert. Ketamine can damage you if you take too much or in a bad combination.
Speed is the most dangerous and stupid drug of the lot, simply put, it destroys the body that takes it, and is so very habit forming as its effect reduces over time even when you take more, and more and more. Eventually, speed damages the brain and the nervous system. This is the drug that burns out the brains and promise. P is a type of speed that is smoked and although it may seem great at the time, leads to rapid addiction.
When you buy a pill how do you know if it is MDMA or something that may have effects you did not seek? You simply do not. This chart shows a broad variety of pills passed as Ecstasy and submitted for analysis.
