Went to my IOP meeting and they gave us these sheets of paper with drugs, their names, and how they effect you. I thought it was kinda interesting and figured I'd share it with you guys. I don't think it's triggering, but if it is, I apologize in advance. I'd never intentionally cause y'all to have triggering thoughts.

Bama,
I think it's very important in the area of "factual" information that the source of the information is listed in the area of drug info. There has been a propaganda war for 75years at least with the facts being intermixed with pure fantacy. Another source of info can be found here. http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/psychoactives.shtml Facts give us real info to deal with where as the fabrications of fear mongers in the drug wars have caused much harm through being counter productive. I'm not saying the info you have been given, from where you didn't say, is wrong only that it looks suspect to me with the almost blanket condemnation that is the hallmark of the abstinence only/prohibitionist camp. Without accurate science truth is as plastic as the whim of the day and the avarice of political seasons. ~Down |

I would love to give a source but my only source from this sheet of paper received was from our "teacher", who said he printed it out from a website. You are correct in the aspect that when posting such things, there needs to be at least a link to go to to check the facts, but I don't have one for this. I apologize.
By the way, I go to erowid.org often, very good site. __________________ ... What's this life for? |
