The "dangers" of drugs are way too much exaggerated. Exaggerated by the press, exaggerated by politicians, and therefor also exaggerated by the public who gets their information from the press and the government.
As I said before, the vast majority of the people who use drugs only do that occasionally, just as most people drink occasionally. The vast majority of people who try drugs like cocaine and heroine out of curiosity find out very quickly that the positives of those drugs do not outweigh the negatives and stick with more pleasant drugs to use occasionally, be it alcohol, pot or something else.
Fact is that humans do not get addicted from using drugs like Heroine or cocaine a couple of times to try it out. It takes some serious abuse of those drugs and the daily use for many weeks in a row to get actually addicted to either one of them.
Then there's the other exaggeration; the level in which addicted people feel "sick" when their body craves for the drug they are addicted to. Truth is that this "sickness" can be compared with a mild case of flu and doesn't last long either. The media leads us to believe that "coming down" is some sort of hell and comes with hallucinations and spastic muscle cramps etc. All exaggeration to scare people.
Fact is that there are way more people (per capita) addicted to gambling, alcohol or nicotine than there are illegal drug addicts. fact is that the physical negative effects of withdrawal from alcohol is much worse than from Heroine or Cocaine.
The safest drug to use, much safer than any other drugs, is pot. There is no such thing as pot/addiction (despite the government lies telling us the opposite), not one person ever in history died from pot use (It is not lethal even in massive amounts)
How comes that there are so many people getting therapy for "pot addiction" when that is true you might ask, well, it's a government scam to get the statistics. When you get arrested in the USA, or the UK for pot possession the judges in many cases will give people the choice between jail time and/or huge fines, or "therapy". Those who prefer not to go to jail and choose for the "therapy" are used in statistics to "prove" that pot is a social problem, addictive and a health risk in the government's scare campaign. Only countries that send people through court into "therapy" as a way of punishment for possession have those "pot addiction" statistics, other countries simply don't know this phenomena. Any person in his right state of mind would choose "therapy" above going to jail or pay huge fines, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
I'm not advocating drugs use here, just putting things in a more realistic perspective.
