Alcohol or Heroin/Marijuana

---

Ok seriously now guys or girls. I would perfer an answer from a qualified physician or the like. I really would like only qualified individuals to respond. I don't need someones sarcastic rude, putdown, or know it all attitude that I usually receive. I have been in 2 different rehabs for teens. My drug of choice is alcohol. I've heard this and was wondering if anyone has any other answers. I've asked 2 other MD's and both said it was true. Is alcohol really the worst drug for your body and Heroin/Marijuana being the least?

I would perfer an answer from a qualified physician or the like.As far as I know, there's one physician who's a member of this site who ever posts, and he does it only very rarely. You'll either have to accept "unqualified" answers, or hope and wait, or go somewhere else to find "qualified" people.> I really would like only qualified individuals to respond. I don't need someones sarcastic rude, putdown, or know it all attitude that I usually receive.You have a lot of gall...a lot of attitude.> Is alcohol really the worst drug for your body and Heroin/Marijuana being the least?OK, I'm an unqualified amateur, but I'll give it a shot, at the risk of pissing you off further.Heroin has nothing to do with marijuana, and they're not the only drugs besides alcohol. Alcohol might be the harder to quit than heroin. Alcohol, taken in large amounts all the time, will do a lot of damage, especially to someone as young as you claim to be.They're all bad when they're abused. You're asking whether this type of poison is worse than that type of poison. I'm not sure what the point of your question is.

I disagree with your heroin/alcohol reasoning. Alcohol abuse does more physical damage than pure heroin will. Alcohol is far more toxic to nerve cells and other parts of the body.Heroin abuse is a very bad thing, but there's a lot of mythology surrounding it.IV meth is probably far worse than either, though.

Ok let me correct my post. It should say Heroin and or Marijuana. I knew you would be the first to start your whining, correcting and criticizing about me.

I don't know WTF you're bitching about, or what you're looking for beyond what was posted.You can read? Good! Stop whining and do some research yourself.

Interesting, while all the expensive rehabs. The only thing that ever worked for me was AA and a sponsor. Turned out to be the simplest and inexpensive program available. Doctors reasoning were that alcohol physically is very very hard on all areas of your body. Herion would affect only a certain part of your body. I was detoxing at 14 y/o at Spencer Recovery Center in Laguna Beach and the heroin addict who was my roommate, looked like death. In less that a week, he loooked perfectly normal, while most of the other clients after being there for 30 days still looked like shyt. I just find it interesting.Congratulations on your sobriety.

God Steve is still alive, hasn't the arthritis affected his hands yet. He's just a drain on social security.

This is why we love you so much.So then did you disagree with what I said regarding the subject of the thread, attitude boy?

Steve, naw I didn't. You were correct on how damaging alcohol is and did make some points about herion that I was trying to figure out. This is nowhere near my specialty, therefore I don't know much about this. I am trying to get feedback on this due to me writing a paper on this topic.Thanks, that was kind of what I was looking for in regards to the toxicity of alcohol and heroin.

Alcohol = shitHeroin = shitMarijuana = least harmfulAlcohol and heroin will take you to rock bottom before you know it. For a report.. check out this website... http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/psychoactives.shtml or google it

Ha funny, I've been using erowid for about 2 years now. Prehaps people have the notions about alcohol due to the fact that it's a legal drug.

Alcohol has absolutely no value in society other than sterilizing needles, however there is an entire economy based on it.

Thanks for the advice though :laughing:

Alcohol has absolutely no value in societyI don't know if I agree with that. Psychoactive drugs serve some purpose. Most societies have at least one such drug of choice. The problems with the substances get bad when society doesn't have rules and sanctions regarding the use of those drugs that things fall apart in a big way. And there will always be people with strongly addictive personalities.

In reply to: God Steve is still alive, hasn't the arthritis affected his hands yet. He's just a drain on social security. That was rude and uncalled for. How are you going to hate on someone who's trying to help you out. UngratefulBesides, we love Steve.

Sweetheart, it was a joke, chill. Ok, calm down now. I'll send u Xanax or Klonopin, which do you want?

from what i know, herion doesnt cause any harm to the body but has a strong physical addiction and will make you do some weird things

um...

Yea, thats right sweetie "ummm"

and alchohol intoxicates every tissue in your body so i guess that yes. MARAHWANNA/herion is less harmfull than alchohol.

you replied to that post of confusion? why?

woooooooooooo did you mean me hun oh I am so honoured. Just over a year left until I qualify and counting...

As for advice the poster is looking for you won't get a better response than someone like Helms who has actually been there and done it so to speak. I agree with everything he has said and is alot more qualified than I will ever be to answer this I only know what these substances do to your body and in a nutshell they can all be bad for your body depending on the quantity used etc. Heroin though we have been taught is top of the list. You only have to look at the research to see what it can do to you.It is a powerful narcotic analgesic whose abuse can lead to severe dependance. Don't go there hun.
