So last night I'm getting wasted with some people at a friend's house...
Anyway, after consuming lots of alcohol and smoking weed throughout the night, this girl pulls out a few percosets, and starts grinding them up with her credit card.
I pointed out that she'll end up sniffing lots of worthless shit unless she does an extraction, and told her how terrible of an idea it is to mix drinking and painkillers.
She then said "Well, I got these from a doctor, they can't hurt me."
I just stared at her in awe. She was dead serious! WTF, how are some people just so damn ignorant?

legal drugs killed 2 of my friends partents they are just as dangerous as street drugs (well not really but kinda) no one thinks valium is dangerous as its nearlly impossible to die off straight valium but put alcohol in the mix and it can stop your breathing

Plus when you blow ground up pills, isn't it mostly fillers and binders anyway...I thought the little high you would get is due to the nasal drip into the stomach...

All that friggin acetamenaphine can cause serious damage to your liver. ESPECIALLY, if you're consuming lots of alcohol. I think most people don't see any immediate side-effects and then just assume it's not harming them in any way.

The thing is, we can't make people listen, they have to choose to.
If I was that girl, chances are I would have ate the percocets too.. I would have taken into account how much I'd drank though as well. Perhaps she wasn't completely obliterated?
I've done some stupid shit in my day, and you just have to accept that other people will do stupid shit too. I'm sure everyone here has done something unsafe like this once in their past. No one starts out doing drugs saying "Hey, I should monitor how much of this drug I take in because it might have too many antihistamines in it, and that could potentially lead to a heart attack."
I mean, I've ate 5 percocets and drank vodka before and woke up on the living room floor with vomit all over my shirt and chin... I ate 20 adavans and drank a 12 pack of beer and forgot 24 hours of my life and apparently got in a car with 4 people I didn't know and woke up at home in my bed the next morning.. I learned from that stupid shit though, and here I am today, always trying to learn everything I can before dosing on any substance, trying to be intelligent about stuff.
People won't listen until they're ready to, whether it be a mental decision or a physical occurance that causes them to. I guess that's all I'm trying to say.

I think I've always been a bit wary of drugs. I have usually listened to the advice of others who were more knowlegable than me. Not to say I haven't done some stupid shit as well, but that was generally out of ignorance. If I'd had someone tell me how bad I was fucking up beforehand, I'd generally heed thier advice. But, I agree with you Silven. If someone isn't willing to at least be open-minded to the advice of others then they are just going to keep on going untill they learn on thier own.
I probably attribute my attitude towards substances to my parents who were great and explained to me at a very young age the 'truth' and the 'facts' about drug use and didn't just feed me that "Just say No" bullshit.

Oh man, I've done some retarded shit in my day too. Alcohol black-outs, snorting pharms (I never even questioned my friends about why the hell you'd snort them, I just figured it hit you faster and harder or something.. I figured out later they were just doing it for the image of snorting something. Lame).. my stupid shit list could go on for a while. One of my retarded acquaintances, who I always thought was a dumbass, even came to my parents house once, looking through the medicine cabinet, and then if anything was listed as a "pain killer" on rxlist, he was down for taking it. Needless to say I didn't let him.

I wish my parents were more like that....not that they told me to just say no, they just never said anything about it...
Anyway, Silven, I have done really stupid things too...in addition to telling her I thought it was bad, I sniffed some too.
We were drunk (just beer), and this was a little fun. My point was how ignorant her comment was...

Yea man, I see what you mean.
She did make a pretty idiotic statement, and a pretty idiotic assumption about her doctor not giving her anything potentially dangerous.
Yea my parents did the bullshit "Just say no" when I was in gradeschool and then never talked about it as I got older and then never talked about it after they realized I was smoking pot and drinking until I got arrested for underage drinking and again with a bong in my car 2 years after that, then I got the "Son I'm disappointed in you." talk from my mom. It's like.. fuck, you couldn't tell from the weed and beer posters all over my room? Heh.

yeah its funny how even with the knowledge, we still ignore the facts often. I fall victim to stuff like that once in a while too. I do agree with you, what she said was completely ignorant. At least when a lot of us do stupid shit, we know its dumb, but are filling to take an educated risk.

Ha, that's funny.
I've been trying to find a place I can use "with gay abandon" as well as Shirley_Knott did in her Poo 101 tek. It makes me crack up everytime I read that part of the tek.
Sorry bout' ruining the thread.
