>Heroin bad things:
>>gives you constipation

Yes, that's right good goy, keep on taking heroin ; that's all you risk, constipation.

Did your high school teacher tell you this?

I can't imagine meeting friends at the pub and ordering a needle full of heroin instead of a pint.
?

If you can resist physical dependence, opiates are God's gift to man. Unfortunately the majority of the population has little to no willpower.

>> murderous drunk driver
Do you know what murder is?

You can also overdose on heroin and die, not just "get constipation"
Who taught you this information? Was it your local drug dealer?

Thatd be cool though

Alcohol makes me drive cars? I didn't know that.

Abdullah, please. Greentexting does not facts make.

stick to making memes, not post.

>implying you can't OD on alcohol
>implying OD doesn't just mean you can't measure a dose/purity is unknown (aka killed by a politician)

How do you know he's not the local drug dealer himself?

You have won the DARE essay contest!

Good job user :^)

Everything that muslims hate is good though.

>Heroin only gives constipation
is this a new dank meme

>Heroin is good

watch the series

It also gives you euphoria – it would be a shitty drug if all it gave was constipation (well, maybe it'd work for diarrhoea).

Of course faggot OP is mostly trolling, because alcohol neither kills your brain nor makes you a murderous drunk driver.

The Finn is right with saying it's main problem is being illegal, though. It rises the prices to an insane level which crushes the livelihood of addicts while fueling organized crime.

its, should drink less

Heroin is illegal because Americans were retarded back in the early 20th century.

Do I have to assume dad was murderous independently of alcohol?

The vast majority of people are not alcoholics and thus summer none of the consequences that you list. Conversely, it is impossible to be a social heroin user.

I know right? Just look at this girl for example. She's just a little constipated, why can't people understand that?

weird, last time I checked you could live a long rich life as a heroin addict.

alcohol makes sure you die young.

I don't even use, just a fact.

Certainly.
Opiates may not be social drugs, but they in themselves do not prevent people from living ordinary lives.

No it's fucking common sense, you can OD on pretty much every drug but there are more reasons why heroin is frowned upon and alcohol isn't. The first thing I always buy when I'm in a new place is a bottle of rum for lots of reasons :

>Is a good combustible when needed
>Kills germs
>Can be taken as a grog when you don't feel good
>Tastes good, you can cook with it
>Doesn't kill your brain
>Is not illegal

fuck, 11/10 made me upset

>didn't even read the inb4

Well you can't be a woman, you have to at least have a few working brain cells.

>alcohol makes sure you die young.
No it doesn't.

Is it hard to drive on heroin?

Yeah opiates are dope, but are 100x more addicting than other shit because of how good they are. Serious addictions like that rewire your brain, but if you can avoid addiction, go for it.

As for alcohol, it's viciously overrated because it's so ubiquitous. I normally drink to put myself in a mindset where it's ok to smoke cigarettes and call the guy.

Well yeah because people do a bunch and then nod off and drive into a McDonald's

You can't earn money and pay taxes while you're nodding off on heroin.

>Opiates may not be social drugs, but they in themselves do not prevent people from living ordinary lives.

I'll have to disagree with you. I've yet to meet an IV heroin user who is able to sustain a normal life for any extended period of time.

Sure, people can pop pills casually, but once you start injecting heroin, it goes down hill really really quickly.

You're Mexican. Everyone is murderous there anyway.

Meanwhile heroin
>is a potent painkiller
>relieves throat irritation which causes more coughing - which causes more throat irritation
>gives you euphoria in higher doses

Cultural reasons:

alcohol is a potent neurotoxin

Do you fuck with kratom?

It's neither (neuro or potent).

Well if the drug was legal people would fine safer way to get it into their body... only hardcore fags would inject.

Morphine is an example of this.

Look at these hard working young men! Just chilling in the street for a little bit because they are constipated, but don't worry! They will be right back to being productive members of society in a few minutes!

Eh. Mainlining is by far the most efficient way to take it regardless of purity. Snorting is just a waste.

Yup that's why people who drink look like they're in their late 40's at 23.

Do your inner circles consist of many drug users (or do you meet them with your work)?

Besides, injection is not a good way to enjoy heroin; it's only used because heroin is illegal and thus very expensive. A much safer (and less harmful to veins) way is to 'smoke' it.

>productive members of society
This isn't the 1950s. The only people important to "society" are the mega rich.

Your neurons don't affect how you look. A potent toxin is something you take a few mg of and die.

If only this guy could just drop a nice turd! He'd be right as rain! Nothing wrong here.

Did you not drink at that age? We're you David Spade in PCU?

Brain Myth: Drinking alcohol kills brain cells. Brain Fact: Moderate alcohol use doesn't kill brain cells, and while rampant alcohol use can damage the brain, it's not due to cell death.

Heroin is not an expensive substance to manufacture. With injections you always risk infections, which is why you shouldn't inject stuff when cognitively impaired.

0/10, not even really a good attempt at bait.

Yeah but injecting alcohol up your ass is by far more efficient then drinking it yet only crazy teenagers shove it up their ass.

Yeah I guess if it was legal and cheap you wouldn't need to worry about efficiency.

He doesn't eat enough fiber. That's the only problem here

Remember when eyeballing alcohol was a meme? Think prince Harry got in trouble for it.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2872345/

Well retards always try retarded things.

> articles can't be wrong
It doesn't prevent neurons from doing their thing, it just kills neurons (like it kills other cells).

>using downers instead of god-tier uppers
Get a load of these fags, BA.

>Do your inner circles consist of many drug users?

Yes. I've been sober in Alcoholics Anonymous for over 5 years. Nearly all of my friends are recovering alcoholics and addicts.

The story is always the same: alcoholics can drink alcoholically for years, sometimes decades, and hold their life together. Heroin addicts fall to pieces in less than a year, once they start injecting, unless they are independently wealthy and don't have to function.

>Besides, injection is not a good way to enjoy heroin; it's only used because heroin is illegal and thus very expensive. A much safer (and less harmful to veins) way is to 'smoke' it.

I've uniformly heard that the effect produced is much better when injecting it, which makes sense, as it directly supplied to the blood on the way to the brain.

He's right, though. In an of itself a heroin habit has no side effects other than constipation. Complications like accidental overdose and blood infections stem from the method of administration and the adulterants in the product.

I'm liking your threads today, Joni

Heroin's pretty badass

Too many external factors make comparing legal and illegal substances (and abuse of which) moot.

As far as I'm aware, the world kept spinning during the Great Binge.

Perhaps, but even if heroin was legal it would still destroy many many lives because of how powerful the addiction is. People would still be homeless, still commit crimes to get money, and still get blood diseases from sharing needles, because heroin addiction makes it nearly impossible to hold down a job. And because it's so easy to become addicted - both physically and psychologically - peoples' lives would still spiral out of control very very quickly, particularly when compared to other legal intoxicants, such as alcohol and marijuana.

Oh look it's another "My drug of choice is good but that other guy's isn't" thread.

Kill all druggies.

Do you actually know that opiates were a social drug back in Victorian England?

Mothers used to give cocaine to children for pain.

Ladies used to have these nice little boxes with their drug of choice and they'd inject these discretely into their legs when having a nice cup of tea with the other ladies and so on...

So imagine if there were care centeres that have the drug for free.

Why would anyone lose their job? Or do anything if it was free.

The drug is so cheap to manufacture it's basically free.

>Heroin's only downside is constipation
Hilarious.

OP wants to die young.

Goddamn weed took him from us too soon ;_;

>destroy many many lives
Not if you could pick some up for the price of a packet of crisps.

>heroin addiction makes it nearly impossible to hold down a job
Nonsense; haven't you heard of functional addicts? The whole point is that you could never tell.

>such as alcohol
Alcohol is comparably addictive, yet potentially fatal in withdrawal.

Staley died on speedballs while suffering an unspecified illness -- one which he felt would kill him on that day, reputedly.

>Heroin:
Heroine is insanely addictive even for "normal" people with typical succeptibility to addiction.

Very easy to overdose, particularly due to rapid development of tolerance coupled with rapid addiction development.

Causes severe physical symptoms of withdrawal and dependence if used consistently.

Never historically associated with a normal functional society (at least not in western society).

>Alcohol:
Used socially for thousands of year with only mildly negative effects in society.

Addictive psychologically to a small percentage of population, and physical addiction developed slowly and is rare in vast majority of users.

Fatal overdose is rare and driven more by social pressures than addiction and built up tolerance.

Offers health benefits when consumed moderately (red wine has positive effects on heart function, etc.)

> Conclusion
I think the reason alcohol is more accepted in majority of societies is clear. Less negative effects on individuals and more perceived benefits. Heroine scares people (for good reasons) while alcohol is not as high risk. Although alcohol is definately celebrated more than in should be in western society.

:_:

That's how he died, yeah, but he suffered from addiction for about 10 years before that.

my nigga
>hit small line of speed get shit done the next 18 to 24 hours

This
You could die right now and the world would operate the exact same.
So why not enjoy it with drugs and alcohol?

I prefer chopping my breakfast on a mirror to "killing the pain".

FUCK ME I WANT MORE PAIN! BURN IT UP LIKE A MAD CUNT.

>overdose
>biological addiction
>no sex drive

no thanks, i'd rather fucking drink
