Don't do PCP:

That's Benny Boy in a couple of years, the dirty druggie.

I like my natural drugs.

You say that now.

That video does seem like propaganda though. I don't really do any none natural drugs any more. I have an e from time to time, but that's about it.

Why's it propaganda? It was just a routine visit to an A&E department and he happened to be shipped in on a PCP trip. The drug is HARSH and most users never recover after their first hit. I hope you never take it or are given it unknowingly.

Some dealers can cut it into hash without the user knowing.

How many people do you know that that has happened to. It would take quite a stupid dealer to mix it into the hash, as it is more than likely more expensive than cannabis.

None, but I am luckily enough to have never met anyone who has taken PCP. I don't know how many people use or have ever used it in the UK but I'm only going by US usage (since most of the stuff on the net/youtube is American).

I'm only going by stuff I've read.

That is my point. If you read the Daily Mail,it would have you believe your leg will fall off after you have toked a joint.

The Daily Mail gets an unjustified bad reputation.

I'm going by what people have said they have experienced while under the drug and wikipedia. Oh, and some journals. It's not like I've only read one source or anything.

Anyway, that doesn't matter. The video is shocking, don't you think. If it is genuine, and which I am pretty certain it is, does it not freak you out?

My nan buys the Daily Mail which I read, it deserves eveything it get's. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to do PCP, but how do you know ALL uses end up like that. How do you know how many people take it, have a good time and never think of it again? It doesn't really freak me out no.

God I hate druggies that defend themselves, by all means fuck your body up, but don't BS that it does you no harm.

I never do, I just don't care about the harm.

It's whether you give your body time to recover from the harm before using again. Not everyone that uses drugs is sitting there smoking crack 24/7.

My dad reads it. I was brought up reading it and I have ended up as a journalist. I don't like the paper but it does its job very, very well and is probably the only non-red top that spurs up a considerable amount of multi-media attention and debate.

Amongst people who have very little knowledge on the topics they're discussing.

Good. I hope you realise that the video is inhumane.

Doesn't matter, though. Job done.

I don't know how it gets away with some of the exagerations.

No it's not, news should be to inform, not to get old people to say they hate the Polish.

Could go on all night but I won't. From Angel Dust to newspaper agendas and readership.

We rock!

For me, this is what forums are all about. A bit of debate, not glorified MSN conversations.

You preach good debate but then you eulogise the press for trivialising important issues. You're full of shit, mate.

I think both is needed in a successful forum, it's helps if you know who you are debating with.

Taking drugs is a risk, but everything is a risk. You balance the benefits against the downsides. Kissing has a strong positive correlation with spreading the flu, but that doesn't suggest to anyone for a second that we should pass a law against frivolous oral interactions. The problem I have with most conservatively opinioned people in the drugs debate is that they never really stop to consider a tie-off. It's all bad bad bad.
