Meth.

Meth makes you smarter. Discuss.

What thread on CP hasn't ever by it's end gone way off subject? :hmmm:

My waitress at lunch today is probably a former (or current) meth head. She had the telltale circle of rotten teeth right in the front.

midgets.

wow

When I was a kid all we had was lead paint chips to party with. Pretty boring stuff man.

My wife nor I have ever even tasted coffee and we're old people. Very unusual. We do plenty of green tea though - it's our crack or meth or whatever you call it.

Maybe thats why so many think we're weird.

Green tea doesn't have a lot of caffeine in it, but it does have some.

Loaded with antioxidants though. I drink a lot of tea, black and green.

Just my observation and two cents. I know there are a few serious accounts where a child/person have ADD or what not, but more often than not, it is a parental issue, lack of discipline.

I think blaming it all on lack of discipline might be overly simplistic, but I agree that it's over diagnosed.

After reading the article you posted, I would agree discipline is not always the factor. People do learn in different manners. I had to remember my physiology classes.

My sister has a son who doctors claimed had ADD, nah, he just needed his butt whooped.

Man, that shit is ****ing terrible.

A bit of a rant here, but I feel like people that get so hopelessly hooked on these types of drugs are just weak. They're irresponsible decision-makers and don't have the mental fortitude it takes to kick such an addictive substance. It's really sad because they often have kids or families that care for them and go about doing their best to ruin all of their lives.. that goes for anyone on any type of super-addictive, hardcore drug. I've never encountered anyone from the meth crowd (that I know of) but I've seen more than my fair share of crackheads.

For me, it's all about what you're putting into your body. As someone highlighted earlier, the chemicals in this shit these days is incredible. Battery acid and antifreeze, what the ****? Why in God's name would you even entertain the thought of smoking something that has that on the ingredient list (I'm aware meth doesn't usually come with a list of ingredients)?

I pride myself on being at least the least bit respectable to my body. Outside of the very occasional social drinking, I don't do any drugs, not even caffeine or tylenol unless I absolutely have to. Like, I'm talking once-every-2-years migraine, then I'll pop an ibuprofen or two. Hell, I even try not to drink soda and at least exercise a handful of times a week..

Before I get too self-righteous though, my diet does suck.

Anyway.. That's my rant. I'm done.

Damn, your life must be incredibly boring.

:evil:

LMAO Nahhhhhh, man! I make do with what I got.

I read your posts and I want to say I didn't mean what I said in any malicious way. It's just that a person extremely close to me has a drug problem so it's made me bitter..

But for me, its not even an issue of doing drugs or anything like that. It's all about addiction. I've smoked weed on occasion and do drink socially from time to time as I mentioned; I could just never allow myself to need it, know what I mean? I could never allow my desire for any certain thing, especially one as destructive as some drugs, to control my life.
