I'm Getting these Weird Feelings

[The Joker]

Every time I see a hard drug, I think of using it. Every time I see the horrible effects, I want to use it. I am actually strongly against all drugs, it's just my mind starts to wander and wants to do these things.

I really don't like this feeling.

Just stay strong

It's a perfectly normal, and instinctive, modern human thought to try things which are bas / illegal for us. Basically, it's not unusual for someone of your age, or of any age really, to want to experiment with illicit drugs.

All I can say is stay well away from any of the hard drugs and from all drugs if you can. Use any support you have around you to keep away from them i.e. people on msn. You do seem like quite a strong minded person anyway Matt.

Don't prohibit yourself forever from trying some drugs (alcohol, cannabis, ecstasy), just try to keep away from the harder ones as earlier mentioned.

The thing that keeps me away from all drugs: I read a news article (Included photos....) about a man that had mixed some cocaine with meth, and then used it. 48 minutes later, he took a steak knife to his stomach and pulled out ALL of his intestines. He was completely oblivious to the pain of it, and was actually laying on the ground... Laughing...

Thinking about those pictures makes me cringe...

A better one heavily known in neuroscience because of its contribution, is a man attempted and succeeded in making heroin. He took it and while he was sky-high he couldn't figure out how to move properly and when he did move, it was as if he was somewhat frozen because he moved in slow-motion, couldn't talk, had delusions and hallucinations, he felt as though part of his body was burning and while in the hospital he was catatonic. The result was a mishap during the synthesis procedure and a neurotoxin, MPTP. At that time people didn't know of MPTP so they wrote him off as having schizophrenia but after research was done, they found the MPTP destroys parts of the brain allowing for the onset (rather immediate one) of Parkinson's.

So, this man's one day of getting high resulted in him giving himself Parkinson's accidentally. The MPTP was in a high enough concentration to give rather immediate Parkinson's (i.e. less than a month).

The good news is a) it helped neuroscientists understand Parkinson's and b) it can have some improvements with specific and very delicate neurosurgery of putting in parts of fetal brain into the patient. The man I'm describing didn't get this because this was unknown at the time and his brain was presumably too far off.

I choose this story because after his high, he was suffering quite a lot as one could imagine and he didn't intend on it occurring at all.
