I'm thinking of becoming an alcoholic, thoughts?

[Anonymous No.51362196]

No you're not. Nobody thinks about becoming an alcoholic, it happens after years of gradual dependancy. I quit cold turkey after my liver started burning.

My wife and I are alcoholics and we both have good jobs but could be way more successful without the nightly liquor.

It's too costly to be an actual alcoholic, I drink sometimes because of mental problems and then latter regret it for the money spent. If you are an alcoholic you are drinking everyday and overtime you need more and more alcohol to feel satisfied, this will cost your mental and physical health and if you are a poorfag, your chances of financial freedom

One of my female coworkers who has BPD and other shits started doing weed everyday and it's noticeable how worse she has become, but she cannot fathom that weed may be hindering her even further. So I wonder how they got that information, alcoholics and smokers are very open about their vices but how did they get druggies to open up?

The "harm to others" part is a tough one to reach a conclusion on, so they brought around 30 of the top experts on drugs in the UK together and had each of them assess the harms of individual drugs based on their knowledge of the drugs, previous studies on harms and social effects, decades of experiences with users, etc. That chart just shows the average of what these 30 experts concluded.

I know most of /biz/ is naturally contrarian and goes into an autistic fit whenever they are told to just trust the experts, bro. But this is as good as it gets unless someone wants to cherrypick studies from one expert whose conclusion aligns with their own beliefs

[Anonymous No.51363178]

The harm to others part is exclusive to the UK. Meth addiction is not a wide spread problem there, so there are more resources available to set the addicts straight before they become a major nuisance. Whereas alcoholism is wide spread and the resources to help are stretched thin, so the social problems associated with alcohol are exacerbated.

Obviously the social problem associated with meth and opiates are more severe in places like the US where the problem is so big that the state has essentially given up on trying to help them

>fucks up your liver
>fucks up your kidneys
>fucks up your brain because it’s a neurotoxin

Only reason it’s legal is because of cultural reasons and making it illegal would lead to the public sperging out. If alcohol had been made popular 40 years ago it would have rightfully been listed as a schedule 1 drug right next to heroin and meth

try GBL(GHB) S+ tier drug, just like alcohol more euphoric no hangover and not very addictive if you don't do 24/7.
Also weed makes you lazy messes up with your sleep and you get a little down when it wear off.

[Anonymous No.51363305]

yeah this is true. I personally use it for my herniated disk, and go out of my way to get OMG tier weed in hopes to numb the pain. It has actually helped a lot, and has given me a chance back at recovering like I was a child when I broke bones, and shieeeet. they don't give opiates like candy anymore, so marijuana that is strong is the new pain-killer. has actually done wonders comparied to pharmaceutical drugs like neurogenics . motherfuckers tried numbing my pain receptors and ended up giving me a negative reaction where i convulsed strongly enough to damage my neck further. god gave us marijuana to use responsibly.

The line between the euphoric effects and an overdose is pretty thin, and addiction potential is pretty high. Definitely not the worst drug one can use when you look at physiological and psychological damage, but all it takes is one little fuckup with the dosage while you are under the influence and death could come knocking if you have nobody around you to call an ambulance

[Anonymous No.51363375]

it's actually completely genetic if you're looking for GBA you should create your own brew because in low doses it provides nearly the same effects.

[Anonymous No.51363443]

>>51363338
I don't think the line is that thin I think it's about the same as alcohol, if you put a timer and wait like 90 mins and don't redose I think you are safe

>>51363375
you mean GHB? I never took the extra steps to covert GBL to GHB. I kinda like GBL it goes in and out of the system pretty fast

>if you put a timer and wait like 90 mins and don't redose I think you are safe
Yeah, but the thing about it, as I'm sure you know, is that it tends to skew users perception of time and their rational decision making, and all it takes is one fuckup one single time. One alarm clock you forgot to set and your high self is sure that 90 minutes has passed. I talked to some people who worked in an emergency room and the amount of overdoses from it relative to the small amount of users is fucking staggering. I don't judge, but stay safe

>you mean GHB? I never took the extra steps to covert GBL to GHB
yes GHB is found in xanax, alcohol, and a plethora of synthetic drugs, because of how soothing it is. find it in low quantities, and take it, and it's the same as getting drunk without the calories, and shit, OR drink vodka.

Yes I do agree, the timer is mandatory because you get completely smacked and you 100% lose notion of time.

it makes most users satisfied with their current life situation. if they smoke after they already climbed to the top, fair game. but if they smoke while they are still at the bottom they probably wont muster the motivation to climb out of the shithole they are stuck in. exceptions do exist, but you dont need to look at a study to see that most potheads are stuck
