Sometime in December around 1999 for me

I refer you to my other post...

Not sure which one you mean. The one deleted by the mods maybe? Mods hate disco.

Yeah more money than sense.

At least when the day comes that the NHS add smokers to the list of self-induced illnesses (along with obesity) that they'll refuse to treat, you'll be able to pay to go private.

It's because we have more money than you poor northeners on your council estates.

13 June 2004 for me. Not regretted it since.

I have to say I see more smokers down south than up north. So much for the stereotype that southerners are more intelligent.

Then its not a good idea to say alcohol, because we could be talking about Shandy or Absinthe.

The addiction potency in crack and meth are hugely different in both. Meth also contains a lot of other substances that are poisons in their own right.

Just the same as Pringles versus regular crisps then.

Crystal Meth is a derivate of amphetamine (speed).
Crack is a derivate of cocaine.
So they were both included, even though they are not as popular over here.
Drugs are bad m'kay.

I don't think it's a good idea to say 'cocaine' and not crack and amphetamine instead of Crystal Meth.

I didn't see that documentary, but I did see Horizon last night on the various opinions of scientists as to what the twenty most dangerous drugs are.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/prog.../drugs/survey/

No surprise that tobacco kills more than the others - UK deaths: 114,000; followed by alcohol at 40,000.

I should be dead according to that list, have taken 12 of the substances on that list and some of them regularly back then...

[crack_ho]

I didn't see the programme was looked at the list. I was surprised to see that Crack Cocaine was not in the list, nor Crystal Meth. This amazes me.

That's what they did in the 1840s during the Opium Wars...

Though that was a semi-private piece of enterprise... one of the glories of Victorian Britain...

Cup of tea? Denny, put the kettle on love!

[Churchill]

What amazes me is that you know these drugs at all

Have you read her posts? She's got to be on something!

I take an interest in quite a lot of things that have a strong social impact.

So you're a typical bird hooked on FaceBook, Sudoku, Heat magazine, and designer handbags costing 3 times your weekly income.

Women. If they didn't have several useful holes they'd be well and truly fodido.

If the entire country got whacked on crystal mets every friday nights, we would be looking at millions of deaths a year.

That's the government's next step after adding flouride to the water, bung in some crystals as their way of controlling population. The bath salts industry won't like it though.

What a completely stupid survey. Alcohol more dangerous than Crystal Meths? Laughable.

Surveys like this are just a complete and utter waste of time.
