Are drugs (tobacco, alcahol, marijuana, meth, crack) really bad or really good?

I get the feeling that I may have been lied to by claims against drugs because it may give you better control of your behavior, hunger, reflexes and maybe stamina. Should I stick to staying off drugs?...

Doris D	i can only tell you from my past experience that i think there all bad for you. PLEASE don't do it if you can help it!
bmac	Sure go on out and take everything you can get your hands on. Drink it, shoot it, snort it, smoke it. Go-go-go-go-go! IDIOT.
William T	Everything is okay in moderation.
perixe17	Tobacco has addictive properties and might cause cancer, alcahol leads to detrimental health and gives you a big red nose from murst capillaries, marijuana slows down reaction time and unless you're in a place where you dont do anything its dangerous to have slow reactions, meth is addictive as hell and crack turns your nasal passage to hamburger meat, dont do drugs.
spooner	if you have to ask a question like this i think your already on drugs.
steph	i think its better to stay away from some your uncomfortable with.. i think everyone does some experimenty with drugs.. up to you if you really want too
cjordan23	Both: they are bad in mas quanity...but oooo soooo good
usaf.primebeef	Yes, stick to staying off of those items. Not one listed is good for you in any way, shape or form. I have used almost all you listed, plus some others and I no longer use ANY. And I feel better about myself.
Paul	Here comes the honesty - all you learned about drugs in school is crap. Forget it. If you take an ecstacy you won't die straight away, if you have a line of coke you won't get addicted straight away, if you have Cannabis it doesn't lead to a downward slope of loserville territory. They are fun and there is no other way on the planet to feel better. Marijuana helps you to calm down, chill out and feel better whether you are a regular smoker or not. If you are not a regular smoker then you may laugh more. Cocaine is very addictive if you get bang on it all the time, but done once in a blue moon it can induce great conversation and makes you more sociable but only to others taking it - to everyone else you just look stupid jigging your jaw around and constantly going to the toilet to snort away. Ecstacy is awesome. No other drug on the planet is worth taking as much as Ecstacy. You go to a higher place, a better place - I cannot explain to you the feeling of happiness and love for everyone around you. It is, like Cocaine, best enjoyed when everyone is high. When you go a huge rave and everyone is high just hugging, talking and being really nice you get no w*nkers showing off and acting about - people just keep it real. But beware - don't take it too often because if you do it will affect your brain and you will start to slur your words, just like Ozzy Osbourne - but that is totally going overboard - he took millions. Beware - everything in moderation! You can have too much of a good thing. NEVER take crack or heroin - these drugs are evil - they break up families and are so addictive - this is why when you see drug related robberies etc. they are all to do with some addict wanting more crack/heroin and not having enough money to pay for it. Beware - if you take pills or coke you will feel like **** the next day - pills are worse than coke for a hangover. Don't bother smoking - its pointless. Pills and coke will effect your stamina by making your brain forget you are tired but its sooooo ******* great! Just be sensible with them and you will be fine!
