No they do not. In 2012 there were 1496 and few were actually related to toxicology.

Spot on analysis. Despite this incident I still take certain drugs on a recreational basis, but I am nowhere near addicted. Some of the older generation like to tarnish everyone with the same brush, but the fact is I am a relatively respectable individual with a decent job and standup values - much the same as 95% of chaps and chappettes that like a bit of the white stuff at the weekend.

The notion that everyone who takes drugs is a useless addict is as draconian as racism.

most of the people i know/found that take white stuff at the weekend are a bunch of *****

This reminds me of a bunch of youths talking in the pub. Each one trying to out macho his mates.

The topic could be
1. Birds I've laid
2. Blokes I've beaten up
3. Fastest I've driven my car
4. How much drink I had before throwing up.
5. Drugs I've taken.

As I said - grow up.

Get a group of posties together and ask one about dog attacks.

I guarantee you the last person talking will have punched the dog to death and thrown the body over a wall.
(I've genuinely been in that conversation)

Such is life.

Personally I dont give a fig if every drug taker on here ends up dead or brain damaged. The chances are high, as 20,000 people die every year from illegal drug abuse. That's nearly an Amex full.

The chances are not high. They are minuscule compared to alcohol related deaths and many drugs are relatively harmless if used responsibly. You come across as an idiot by tarnishing all drug users with the same brush.

You're posting at an incredible rate for someone who "dont give a fig"

What are you like when you do "give a fig?"

When you say youth worker you clearly mean you just helped out with an evening soccer class or something? I find it hard to believe that someone with such a narrow and black and white mind could actually be employed and have professional qualifications to councel young people?

Thank you for dismissing my qualification with a few keyboard strokes. No, I didn't help out with an evening soccer class. I worked at a council run youth club for two evenings a week on a tough council estate.

Just thought of another one.

At Glasto a few years back I'd got back to the tent at about 5am after being at arcadia, so by this point it was light. My girlfriend at the time was already in the tent asleep so I just went to bed as usual. At some point I opened my eyes and could see the silhouette of a hand on the wall of the tent. Quite frightened and without moving I woke my bird up and whispered "I think someones trying to get into the tent, I can see their hand" only to get the reply "no that's your hand you f*cking idiot". "oh yeah" :down:

I'd just fallen asleep in a funny position. :facepalm:

Anyone fancy snorting a line of binfest?

NSCer starts thread on War/Drugs/Religion and we get a 40 page thread that hangs around on the front page like a bad smell while the usual suspects thrash it out for days and weeks, during which time the Albion win/lose various games, sign various players/lose out on various players and still the binfest goes on...

Yes mate.

Taking illegal drugs is one thing, but coming on here boasting about your experiences is another. There are a lot of impressionable kids on NSC who could now be thinking that the whole drug scene is socially acceptable.

For me this is worse than posting porn, but I doubt any moderators will have the savvy to see it that way.

Fair enough.

You gonna take back the thing about 20,000 deaths a year due to illegal drugs?

Anyone who has been personally effected by drug use is not going to joke about it in the manner some have in this thread

It will only be when they lose a loved one for example because of it they may think twice, I guarantee it wont be amusing then, illegal drugs or not.
