"Don't do PCP or Ketamine! They are extremely dangerous to the inexperienced user."
Just want to note that this implies that they're not dangerous to an "experienced" user. One, you know who is experienced with drugs? A DOCTOR, particularly one who specializes in a field related to potentially dangerous and often illegal drugs. Granted, like drinking, people can have a feel and "experience" to find their limits. But PCP... not a cool drug, at all. Regardless of your "experience" I would say never do it. One reason I often make these posts and seem like I'm a narc saying that everything is bad is because I do it as a disclaimer. I often see posts and during games people (in particular, Acid) talking very casually and making drugs out to be fine and not harmful, as long as you know what your doing or whatever, and often makes the argument that pot is perfectly safe. I think it is a bit irresponsible to talk that way, like you're an expert, regardless of what you've read, looked up, or done. I'll say it again with pot... don't tell me it doesn't have harmful effects, I've known and heard people who use pot (non-addicts), they change and they sound and act like idiots. Doesn't take long before your laugh sounds like a cross between a 50-year-old chain smoker and someone with a cold.
I don't know everything, and neither do you. What I DO know, however, is that it depends on the person. Acid and PIX, I offer my congratulations that drugs have not messed up your lives and you haven't let them get overwhelmed. Because you're not addicted to something or haven't let it become a number one priority doesn't make it so for everyone. The brain is a funny thing, and no matter your experience, no matter what you think, shit can happen, especially when you start messing with it. You tinker with the chemicals up there, anything is possible. No arguments on its safeness in comparison with alcohol and tobacco, because I don't condone or use either of them, I just realize that if they were made illegal (as we see with one in the past) that shit would hit the fan. There is no free lunch, ladies and gentlemen, if you take any drug you are taking a risk and making a sacrifice with the poor mass of neurons in your cranium, among other things in your body.
