For my Drama piece, me and two others have to do a piece of theatre (play) on Drugs.

So we were doing research and I found quite interesting, and startling statistics on drugs.

Some of them where:
* There is 281, 145 problem drug users in England and Wales,

*41% of 11-15 year olds have been offered one or more drugs,

*25 to 35 tonnes of Heroin is shipped to the UK every year,

*Half of all crimes is drug related.


I found it really interesting. Before, I didn't think of drugs has being as serious as it really is. Of course, I am shy and sheltered to drugs, meaning that where I am/live, not a lot of drug-related things happen. So I was shocked to find something like that.

But I was wondering,

Has anyone here taken drugs? If so, what age where you, and do you still take that particular substance/drug?

Don't read too far into government drug studies.  As a general rule of thumb, they are full of crap and propaganda.

The first time I tried drugs was on my 18th birthday, I figured fuck I'm bored might as well give weed a try and hear I am.
I smoke weed 24/7 365.

And when I said UK based, I meant the studies. Other than that, it's open discussion.

mmm that is a lot of heroin.

well i used to smoke on and off when i was like 12. drank from the age of 16. since then I've experimented with mdma and coke. i'm not like a regular, regular user of drugs but if I'm offered something by a friend i'm not gonna say no. basically.

anyway, in this country the whole legal/drugs system is fucked and I wish someone would rethink it completely.
