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? -R'

Replies girlbythewhirlpool Posted at 4:44 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 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. thebOsssx3 Posted at 1:14 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 i'm clean (: Charolastra Posted at 1:11 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 i tried cigs at 17 (16?) and i've never really stopped since. marijuana and alcohol consumption started at 18 really, i don't smoke weed a whole lot but i drink on a regular basis K r e s c e n d o Posted at 1:07 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 Quote: from Thejoeyc at 9:00 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 100% of people in the uk dus meth. thats y their teeth are so fucked up. duh lol u cn tlk. ur frm texasss And when I said UK based, I meant the studies.
