Default Most far-fetched, stupid, ignorant etc drug misconceptions - Post them

I'm in a mood for a dose of stupidity, these sorts of threads are always good for laughs too usually.

So post them, and please no replies saying just anti drug campaigns without saying what they did, and no 'drugs are bad' posts for the love of fucks sake, they're not funny, witty, clever or anything other than a indicator to show others how retarded you are.

It's pretty late and I can't think of any specifics except I have the breakfast club on and the jock smokes weed and acts like he took speed :p

"So I bought these tabs of LSD, and smoked them through my mates bong. I was fuckin' trippin balls for hours" - said by a retarded acquaintance, I couldn't be arsed arguing and just lol'd.

And from a different mate "coughing gets you more stoned because you get cuts at the back of your throat and the smoke enters your bloodstream quicker".

This was just a couple of years ago, in high school mind you, and I was shocked and amazed that they would actually tell us this kind of crap to our faces.

I remember, among other lies, this one that sticks out in my mind. Some 'official' coming to the school and telling everyone that the sole reason smoking pot got you 'high' was because there was SO MUCH tar getting produced, it actually clogs up your lungs and you can't get enough oxygen to your brain ... being 'high' is oxygen deprivation.

No mention of THC or anything. Just scare tactics and no science whatsoever. And this is what they were telling the people who were going out and getting jobs and becoming members of society within a year.

^ In terms of physical effects, cigs are worse, in mental effects, cannabis is worse.

So are cigs better than weed? Depends which you value more - physical health or mental health.

And you can't deny there is no mental health/cannabis link, because there is a link, they just don't know if weed causes mental effects, or simply makes them worse.

Mostly wrong. There is a "link" per say, but that's about it. Just a statistical relation of cannabis users to mental health problems. No causal link or anything like that. Also, cigarettes are addictive, I would think that that is partly a mental problem.

Hey I'm all for legalization and selling it at convenient places like gas stations, but you can't have you're cake and eat it too. Some people are affected negatively by pot. I have seen marijuana greatly exacerbate some people's mental illnesses, and trigger all sorts of episodes, from panic attacks to people hearing voices. It's pretty rare though, but really some people shouldn't smoke marijuana.

That being said I plan on smoking some blunts today.

Cocaine, crack, heroin or meth that has been "cut" with ether. Or "ether based" cocaine etc. LSD will alter your DNA and make you have freak babies (my mom told me that one)


And the whole thing about how a methyl group, or a couple of acetic groups makes a chemical inherently evil. I was just talking to my wife about this the other day, saying how someone wouldn't give me morphine or other hard opes, morphine because I could turn it in to heroin. And she's like, would you do that? Sure I would, with at least a little of it, just for the fuck and fun of it, and I explained the difference between the two, chemically and pharmacologically speaking, and explained it's use in medicine, but I am pretty sure she is still stuck in that evil drug mindset.


She also says psychedelics like LSD are a waste of time.

BUT despite being so bullheaded and stubborn on her views of drugs, she is still open minded about MY use, trusting my ability and knowledge, and mostly keeps her anti drug opinions to herself.

Though I have to say, for having such conservative view points, the girl is very down to earth, and always willing to at least hear another perspective, as opposed to just saying "i'm done talking to your liberal ass"


And strychnine in drugs. It's not just acid anymore folks, it's in your rolls now too, so says someone to me last night anyway. I've recently found a group of uneducated people who I've befriended, great folks, just tons of myths flying around, which is good, because it gives me something to talk about with my new friends, and these people are also very open minded, and not only willing to HEAR another point of view, but to also listen to it.


It's pretty much a chem/pharmacology lesson for these kids every time I see them. I say kids, but they are my age, 25+.

The fact is is that weed is safe for a VAST MAJORITY of the population to use. It is impossible to overdose, adding to it's safety. It doesn't cause cancer, doesn't permanently effect you, etc.



There is a "link" per say, but that's about it. Just a statistical relation of cannabis users to mental health problems.

As of now, there is no causal relationship.

Fuck do I get tired of hearing this one. I've never heard about the cuts, but almost every kid at my school who smokes weed says that coughing gets you way higher than you would get otherwise.Mad

Another one that I can't stand: Eating mushrooms is basically giving yourself food poisoning, which = tripping. Also, everybody believes that if you get busted with mushrooms, you'll get charged with manslaughter (I guess this would be linked to the whole poison bullshit.

The third one is that snorting crystal or even just ground up weed, you'll get super high. Somehow, some of my friends have bought into this bullshit claiming that they got insanely fucked by snorting a line of crystal they scraped out of a grinder. /facepalm

Yeah, everybody at my school knows nothing about drugs, I try to tell them how wrong they are but they never listen.

Teflon coated I suppose...That made me lol.

I hate when people claim that weed is addictive in the way cigarettes or heroin is.

I was buying some percocets from my friend's friend (through my friend) and she's like "Yeah, these are pure oxy", and I'm like, ok cool. I dont have to pay extra for them, so I'll take that. I get them and they're percocets. I inquire, and she replies "Those ARE OC's, those aren't percocets" *facepalm* 512 right on the pill.

Another one was a friend of that same friend wanting percocets for her menstrual pains, but she could only find pure Oxys. I ask why she can't just take those, and she's like, "I can't work on those, they make me too spacey". Why? I ask. "I need the acetaminophen so I dont get so spacey". I say that she could just take some tylenol with it, and she just scoffs it off because it's not "in the pill with it, so it wont work the same".

God, I have stupid friends.

Yeah seriously guys. Pot can give you lung problems... How is that hard to believe? It's actually got more tar in it than cigarettes. Your odds of getting lung cancer from it are less, but your odds of getting COPD are essentially greater. That being said, I still like it. I'm just not deluded enough to think it's some magical drug with no bad side effects at all and god wants me to be stoned all the time so I can commune with nature.

In relation to Flaky/reject's argument -

Weed is relatively safe when compared with other drugs. However, NO drug is safe. If you're worried about being 100 percent safe at all times in your life, then you shouldn't do drugs...or drive...or get out of bed in the morning...or STAY in bed in the morning for that matter...

Anyways, while there IS a link between marijuana and mental illness, that point is completely mute. This is because ANY drug can worsen mental illness. If you're THAT worried about possible mental illness, or already show signs of it, then you shouldn't be doing ANY drugs.

WTF?! What does pot being a bronchodilator have to do with COPD? ANOTHER person who doesn't know what they're talking about! If you don't know don't pretend to know guys! A bronchodilator reduces constriction on the airways because it causes the smooth muscle in your bronchioles and bronchus, the bronchial smooth muscle to relax and stop constricting your airway. It doesn't magically make the tar and shit that build up in your lungs go away! COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which results in your bronchioles and alveoli being all shitty and the alveoli lose a lot of their ability to expand and recieve O2. Besides, the Bronchiodilating effect of pot would not be noticed unless you were vaporizing, because the fact that your inhaling smoke would pretty much offsets any of the respiratory benefits of THC.

I hear rolling your cigarettes in a $10 bill makes it become like smoking an LSD laced joint because all of the special inks they use and the fibers in the paper are actually hallucinogens, but the government has kept in under wraps because they dont want us getting high off of the money supply. Who all has tried this? (http://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?t=2120249)

I have.

It doesn't work on just 5s, 10s, or 20s though. You have to do it with AT LEAST a hundred dollar bill.

Several of them does the trick. I was tripping balls for about 12 solid hours.

The stigma and misconceptions around cocaine.
The idea that pot is harmless and will cause no negative consequences.
The notion that ketamine is "stupid" because it's a "cat tranquilizer."
Don't even get me started on GHB.

you can overdose on pot

The non-fatal consumption of 3000 mg/kg A THC by the dog and monkey would be comparable to a 154-pound human eating approximately 46 pounds (21 kilograms) of 1%-marihuana or 10 pounds of 5% hashish at one time. In addition, 92 mg/kg THC intravenously produced no fatalities in monkeys. These doses would be comparable to a 154-pound human smoking at one time almost three pounds (1.28 kg) of 1%-marihuana or 250,000 times the usual smoked dose and over a million times the minimal effective dose assuming 50% destruction of the THC by smoking.

"Xanax is like weed in a pill" I almost slapped the bitch when she told me that.

"Oxycodone is synthetic heroin"

"Highs isn't actually weed" Yeah I didn't even respond to this comment I just looked at the guy like WTF?

"If you pop your back on LSD you will have ub3r flashbacks" Like you guys haven't heard that one before.

"Hydrocodone comes in 45 mg's" Me: "No it doesn't." Him: "Yeah, my mom has them."

"Hydrocodone and Codeine (they actually said hydrocodeine) are the same thing"

"I just took some promethazine and I'm gonna be fucked up." Me: "Yeah, promethazine gets you real fucked up right?"

"Coughing gets you higher"

"I smoked salvia and I was flying and I had a sword and I was fighting dragons" Sure you did.

"I smoked a blunt dipped in lean and I was so fucked up"

"If you get busted with X you'll be charged with 1 count of manslaughter for each tab."

Setting straight a few of you tools:

For the record, using ethanol to extract psylocin and psylocibe from a quantity of mushrooms produces a crystalline structure that can be smoked...or eaten...or mixed with ethanol for a trippy drink.

As for marijuana: It can cause bronchial diseases and other respiratory infections. Is a joint safer than a square? Yeah. Is it actually good for you? No.

For benzo overdoses: Just like any CNS depressant, a sufficient dose will shut down lung function. You don't die from the dose, you die from suffocation.

"I smoked salvia and I was flying and I had a sword and I was fighting dragons" Sure you did.

This very well could have happened. I smoked salvia and visited the personal library of God where I read books detailing the entire history of all mankind, including a book containing every last detail of my life from past to present. After this, I dived into a television set and tunneled from pixel to pixel, each one a completely different location in the universe. Afterwards, I returned to the library and read a book titled 'The Divine Joke'...it was the funniest fucking think I've ever read in my life, and no, I will not share it with you. Salvia can be pretty fucking intense...fighting dragons is nowhere near the limits my experiences with it. If anything, that's a pretty mild trip.

Still cant stand that people think oxycontin and percocets DO NOT CONTAIN the same active ingredient. And that Oxycontin is in fact Synthetic heroin. Yea the shit about shrooms being poison, like no one knows about psilocybe? Whats that guys?

7/750 hydrocodone nonsense...750mg of vicodin and the 7 is for the 7 in 750.

Mushroom poison stays in your system forever.

I really dislike people who are like "no, weed is safe" and fail to believe anything bad said about their precious drug.

Yeah that's almost as bad as the complete opposite.

Really, it's a drug with some risks that can be rationalized pretty easily. Not one with no risks at all.

But it's pretty safe, I mean come on.


but "ecstasy puts holes in your brain" irks me, and it's hard to convince people otherwise.

also, people that think marijuana can kill you because it is so toxic

people that think Hydrocodone and oxycontin is safe and non addictive. Treats the pain and that's it. BUT HEROIN! That's the devil.

Or people who bitch about meth being the absolute worst thing ever.. when they pop Adderall every morning with their cereal.

Like, people think there is a huge line between "medicine" and "drugs", and "medicine" just helps you and can do no wrong, but "drugs" will lead to your demise. Not realizing that nothing is just an isolated "headache reliever."

Also what made me laugh was my teacher: "they've got me on amoxycilin and they told me to take that mucinex stuff and they gave me some cough syrup.. all i could think about was heath ledger! I even asked the pharmacist if it was safe!" and people in the class were like "Oh my god that is so bad!"

or the kid who was like "They accidentally gave me 4x the dose of allergy medicine at the pharmacy. My mom went back and yelled, like.. that could've KILLED ME!"



EDIT: SN, it's really hard to explain your point when people don't understand what you're talking about..

That's why you tailor it to what you think that person can understand. Put it in terms they know.


Like oxy being ok, or morphine, and heroin being bad. Explain the difference between the drugs, and how it is illegal for a Dr. to take you off oxy or morphine without weaning. Explain how morphine and heroin are damn near the same thing, HOW they are so close, and WHY they are different.


As for MDMA putting holes in your brain, explain that it is a myth that was started from a misunderstood study years ago that showed an MRI scan of a brain, and it had "holes" or darker spots on the picture, which represented lower seritonin levels, and not actual tissue degradation.



If you want to prove someone wrong, you can't just say, that's wrong. You have to be able to back it up, and when you can, people believe you, and end up asking you a million questions about this or that myth.

It never fails.

Seriously. I can't believe people think LSD and acid aren't the same thing. I also wonder why people think that medication X is so dangerous, especially OTC medications. That's the reason why you can easily obtain them, because they're safer then hell! Mad

When the sensationalist news stories about Salvia were running, I knew 3 retard drug kids who were reading AOL news and repeating to me stuff like "Dude, salvia is the next marijuana" or "You get fucked up more than any other drug on this shit, and it's legal!". I don't like to get into arguments so I pass off shit like that by saying 'cool'. Having done salvia and most common drugs, I know that most of what they said was absolutely false, but I don't like ruining drug experiences for people. I let people believe what they want to believe, and find out when they try it.

Doesn't bother me, I probably had weird misconceptions before I tried some drugs myself.

Pot (has) actually got more tar in it than cigarettes.

Yes, and if you buy the really good shit, up to a third of the plant by weight can be this one specific variety of tar known as "tetrohydrocannabinol."

Luckily, THC passes the lungs and absorbs into the bloodstream pretty well. Otherwise, you'd be fucked.

Give me a link.

It's probably not valid anyway since we all know the motivation the DEA has behind giving out false info on MDMA.
