Drugs that are unfairly demonized

Heroin: People will do morphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydromorphone and even fentanyl but will never even think of touching heroin. Why does heroin have such a bad name? Its just another potent opiate. Addictive as fuck but causes no damage to the body like for example amphetamines damage the brain, alcohol damages the liver and cocaine damages the heart but opiates do no damage.
Methamphetamine: The propaganda against this drug is worse than reefer madness. Those faces of meth pictures are fucking stupid. What they're saying is meth makes you "ugly" and because society is so obsessed with looks it worked. That's kinda fucked up, I mean they're saying those people look like shit. How do they think that makes them feel or is it that they don't matter because their meth addicts? If so then that's kinda like Hitler tbh...
LSD(and to a lesser extent psychedelics in general): People think that doing LSD will make you crazy and they think its like datura. The anti-LSD propaganda is so ridiculous that I can't even say much about it. LSD is very safe when used in moderation and can have great personal benefits. LSD doesn't make you jump out windows or eat people's faces. LSD doesn't make you crazy its a substance with a lot of uses and doesn't deserve its reputation.
MDMA: People think that MDMA will kill you or that it makes your temp like 300 degrees or something. This is one of the safest drugs when used in moderation. This is another drug that can have massive personal benefits it sure helped me. I probably would of died a miserable coke and spice addict if I didn't try molly. This drug truly helped me see the bright side in everything even sober and it helped me make friends. I MDMA.

heroin has a bad name because all those other drugs are "Clean" and pure or whatever bs those people tell you. Peoples way of thinking there good and not breaking the law. Also doesnt have the junkie in a puddle with the needle in his arm stigma to go with it (generally).
The next 2 are pure bs... as in like your source is wrong. People dont think that way...

this is pretty accurate to me , The meth pics are just ridiculous I really thought it worked like that with meth when I was younger ,at the same time I was sniffing speed pills not knowing that it was meth
Good info is way better then lying to people , a grown human being can take his own decisions when in presence of real informations. the propaganda it self makes everything worst and more dangerous . people ODing or having health problem on some RCs and thinking its a *safer* alternative ,seeing that is just frustrating

I completely agree with you, but weren't you the one that was trying to convince your parents of this for the same reasons you just stated?
I think just about everyone here on the Shroomery is going to agree with you on this subject, but who are you trying to convince besides us?

No. You must be thinking of somebody else. I posted this because I'm on adderall and feel like ranting.

I hate how common folk hear heroin and get all smug in disgust. First many of them have no clue how similar it is to pain medication, pain meds are all good with them . Second i think alotta common folk hear heroin and think you have to shoot it, when in actuality most users i know (nowadays) snort.
But what makes me most sick is the demonization of marijuana! I know too many people (some alcoholics) who look down on bud smokers and still think it "kills brain cells".
Meanwhile people are putting there children on addictive shit drugs like xanax, all the while scowling at "drug users".

I also hate how with weed its always 2 extremes its either the devil or the best thing that ever happened to humanity. There's no real middle ground with a lot of people.

There's this doctor here who is very openly anti-meth but will prescribe adderall without an adhd diagnosis. Not that I'm complaining tho... 
Its just that adderall and meth are almost identical structurally.

Alot of people are uneducated on drugs, it's why people demonise heroin. They don't realise it's just another opiate, just like how beer and vodka are ethanol.

Heroin is entirely too often impure and I'm fairly certain isn't orally active like pharmaceutical opiates. Get a batch cut with a little too much fentanyl or some new RC and you're fucked.
I'm personally against all opiates these days so this may sound a little biased, but heroin in my opinion is FAR from unfairly demonized.
I've seen it ruin far more lives than any other drug including alcohol.

Could be the association with needles. Heroin I mean. That's enough to turn me away.
Not dissing it, or anyone that does though.

True but what I do is always start with tiny amounts when I get a new bag just to test the potency.

Really? I've seen far more people ruin their lives with alcohol than with H. And far more ruin their lives with prescription opiates than H.
I've had my demons with both opiates and alcohol in the not so distant past, and think both are horrible drugs because they are so wonderful. If that makes sense...

The drugs I've seen ruin the most lives is meth and alcohol. I don't think drugs ruin lives tho, I think the way you use the drugs can ruin your life.
I'm a opiate addict and it far from ruined my life, it actually greatly improved my life.

The problem with heroin is you never know what you got because of the laws. Bill Burroughs maintained function for decades with a heroin addiction. Meth is not a good idea for two days in a row but fine in short term. LSD is basically harmless. I have no knowledge of MDMA.

I thought the same thing while addicted. At the time it seemed like it was a great treatment for depression, anxiety, lethargy, and just overall quality of life until withdrawals smacked me in the face like a bag of bricks and realized that I was not only hurting myself financially, physically, and mentally, but also everyone that cared about me.
It's something very hard to accept while an addict. I think this is the case for all addicting drugs, not just opiates.

MDMA is bad to do too much because it drains all your serotonin and can give you mood swings and other unpleasant effects with overuse. Its also neurotoxic. Using MDMA once every 1-3 months prevents this.
LSD can cause HPPD but it wont cause any bodily damage.
Meth is more neurotoxic than MDMA and drains all your dopamine and makes you depressed and anxious and other unpleasant effects with overuse. Using once every 1-3 months prevents this.
Its crazy how similar MDMA and meth are and how most people don't realize this.
Heroin can cause addiction and you can OD but it wont cause any mental or physical damage.

Yeah I'm trying to quit but that's easier said than done. I'm thinking about just using opiates once every 2 weeks or so but I gotta get unaddicted first
