Everyone You Love Did Drugs

It turns out that a lot of accomplished, well-respected historical figures did drugs. From Winston Churchill taking amphetamines to Thomas Edison lacing his wine with cocaine, not everyone who uses narcotics is a hopeless basket case living in a dumpster. While some drug users spiral into addiction and crime, others go on to become president. It's time to debunk the age old stereotypes of the back alley dangerous dealer or the lazy stoner when, according to the National Survey on Drug Use, roughly half of all Americans have tried an illegal drug.
In the latest "Mostly Weekly" host Andrew Heaton breaks down the cartoonish Drug Warrior portrayal of drugs by showing some of the beloved historical figures who used them.

Lets not forget alcohol is a drug as well. It may be legal but it is also one, if not the most dangerous.

@nickipelazza8727 6 лет назад

If "the most dangerous" = the one that causes the highest number of deaths, then alcohol is definitely the most dangerous drug.

And getting drunk is illegal in much of the country. The difference between alcohol is that you can easily drink without getting drunk but it is a lot harder to smoke without getting baked.

Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin are all convicted and sent to prison. Upon their release one year later, the inmates have formed a constitutional republic who send elected representatives to parley with the warden bi monthly. Open trade between cell blocks has led to an increased standard of living, and Terry "Hollow Point" Hernandez from D-Block has introduced a bill to the prison legislature regarding the extension of chow time. It is expected to pass with enthusiastic bi-partisan support.

Chopin used Opium to treat the symptoms of his tuberculosis. It may also be of note that he died at 39. It's not absurd to consider that the use of opium may have contributed to him dying at a young age. I know that it would make the video more dull, but you might want to distinguish why certain people used the drugs, because at times these drugs were used as medicine, not just "to have a good time." Just to be intellectually honest.

@SaintSC05 6 лет назад

He gave several reasons why these people used drugs. Did you not pay attention?

@Evan-df1jm 6 лет назад

The thing is... Substances that we consider drugs today in the colloquial sense were not the same things that were considered drugs back then. If many of these people, like Chopin, had the alternative medicine that we have today, then they may not have turned to opium, hence using them for medical purposes and having them prescribed would not help the argument. If people used Opium today, I highly doubt that it would be to treat tuberculosis. Also I am aware that he gave several reasons in a broad sense. I was referring to why each individual in the list used the drug, like (health/recreation/etc.)

@MrHarumakiSensei 4 года назад

Chopin had tuberculosis but it was opium that caused him to die young?

Social Conservatives and Libertarians have a vary similar view on drugs. A Social Conservative will look at drugs and say "I think drugs are immoral so that means we should ban them" and a Libertarian will look at drugs and say "I think drugs should be legal so that means they must be moral and how dare you criticize them". While I'm stuck in the middle arguing with Social Conservatives saying yes I agree they are bad but don't ban them while I'm also arguing with Libertarians saying yes we should make them legal but that does not make them morally okay.

I don't care what drugs you take as long as you are not physically or financial harming the people around you or the society in which you live. If you can show that doing drugs only affects you financial and physically then go for it , as long as my tax dollars are not being used to keep you alive, as long as my tax dollars are not being used to pay for your drugs,food, shelter, clothing,medical care, then it is your choice, use any drugs you want and if you destroy your life or kill yourself in the process then you've no one to blame but yourself!!!! but if I have to pay for your bad choices then it should be made criminal! So by the same logic Health care should not be in the hands of the government, and hospitals "should be" allowed to deny you care or put you in debtors prison work camp till you pay off your hospitalization bill!

The only drugs I "use" regularly are caffeine in the form of 6 - 7 Diet Pepsis a week and a daily dose of Levothyroxine, as prescribed by my doctor. I don't use pot, have never smoked, and don't care if I ever drink another wine cooler ever again, but I don't give a dead possum fart if you do other drugs (currently legal or not)…as long as you're a legal adult (and, yes, I think that it should be okay to drink at 18, eventhough I didn't until I was 27 and pretty much stopped before 30) and don't hurt anyone in the process of using or hurt them to get the drugs. Taxpayer money needs to be put to better uses than punishing people for choosing oblivion. The only part of the "War of Drugs" that I support is punishing those who provide to minors. Also, by keeping them illegal, you romanticize their use, making them more likely to WANT to try them.

How do you propose to stop dealers selling drugs to kids under 18 who you admit do not j have the capacity to make an informed choice about whether to use or not?

@strayedarticle2838 Год назад

@@ChristopherNFP Why would a dealer want to sell to kids? They don't have jobs. They do have guardians. They're less likely to keep drug use under the radar, which is an increased risk of exposure to the dealer. They're much more likely to die of an overdose, and tracking down the dealer in the event of a child overdose death is very likely, no one tracks down the source of most overdose deaths. There's just too many bad consequences. Legalize everything, and then at least the drugs out there won't be biker meth from a trailer park, or heroin smuggled in someones butt.

When they discovered the addictive qualities of these drugs they mostly removed them from the ingredients. That's like suggesting that the Coca-Cola Bottling Company would be thrown in jail today for having Coca-Leaves in their soda pop despite the fact that they removed in nearly 100 years ago. This is why the hole Heroine epidemic is such a problem since some much of today's medicine uses heroine derivatives.
