gday guys. saw this, thought i wud share it here, i have a 13 y.o. son gunna show him this...

The destroyer

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
take your children and that's just the start.
I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
If you need me, remember I'm easily found,
I live all around you - in schools and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.
I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your child's closet, and even in the woods.
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.
I have many names, but there's one you know best,
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is Crystal Meth.
My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,
You do what you have to -- just to get high.
The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.
But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.
I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always -- right by your side.
You'll give up everything - your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.
I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give.
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me, be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.
You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be your master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.

Whoa Tiger! Now that was a tough read! Very true! I talk to my son at least once a week and I ask him to promise me he will never ever do drugs or smoke. I ask for that promise and then I pray.

[Norfolkdave]

Hey Man so so true. I can say I have never taken drugs in my life, those who do are so so silly, it doesnt get you anywhere. The armies want to destroy these fields of drugs and imprision the drug barons for life no parole nothing. evil pieces of!!!!!

[sweetgapeach]

Wow !!!!



So True !!
I need to pass this on to my 13 year old too !

[MCat]

Make sure your kids feel worthwhile...

I grew up with a grandmother and mother who did not know what praise was. I ended up experimenting with drugs for about 6 weeks in my junior year of high school. I really wanted to belong and my so called friends really liked me when I was high. :whee:

Luckily my parents caught on and the drug use ended along with high school. They put me in night school and my mom went with me 3 nights a week for 6 months till I graduated.

I made sure my kids knew they could do or be whatever they wanted, all they needed to do was work a little. I never told them they were stupid or made them feel useless. The words a parent uses can really harm a child.

As far as I know my kids did not use drugs. They both ended up smoking like there good ole dad though. Both are quitting...My son because of the new baby coming and my daughter because her husbands lung capacity at the age of 25 is that of a 70 year old man.

Just hug your kids, tell them you love them, and help them when they need it.

:knuddel:

One thing I have been wondering about is what to say to my son about my own addictions. Do I tell him the truth and explain why the past 5 months have been the purest form of hell I have even known? Or leave the pot out of it and just tell him it's all from the cigarettes? I want to be honest, but this one worries me.

Can I say Annie, tell him what you have written here, word for word, but tell him that you can breathe gods air, hear the birds sing and see the sun, tell him drugs will bring darkness. Yes tell him why you have been to hell and back

[Jy]

I've wondered about this myself Annie. On the one hand, they may listen and heed our advice more if they knew we were talking from experience. On the other hand, teens don't ever want to consider the possibility that their parents had the same struggles as they are having. They fancy themselves as unique and it may alienate them even more.
I did a lot of hard drugs in my teens and early twenties. I don't want my son to make the same mistake if I can prevent it. MC has a point though. My parents were stingy with praise and positive reinforcement. Not that I can blame all my problems on them, but I longed to be part of the in-crowd, especially because I never was, and thought smoking and doing drugs would make me cool and help me be accepted. It was a long and uphill battle to come to a place where I finally felt good enough about myself to put all of that behind me.
Do I tell my son all of this? Would it help him if he knew I understood the appeal of drugs and the peer pressure? I think the more human we appear to our children, the healthier the relationship. My son already knows I'm can cry when I'm sad, that I get angry, and that I make mistakes. Apologizing to a child when you're wrong can teach them a valuable lesson about humility, compassion and grace. I'm thinking that when the time comes, I'll tell him a bit about my checkered past. At least enough so he'll know I know where he's coming from. He doesn't need all the sordid details.

[Annie]

Oh I've done the hard stuff too, but thankfully I left that with my youth many years ago. I don't how I got so lucky to only get hooked on Pot... maybe because that was the one everyone told me "Well at least it isn't addictive!" Ain't that a crock! It was easier to give up cigarettes than that!

I think you're right though, there is a limit to what he needs to know. My son has heard more than once... more like once a month.. that I have made mistakes.

He's seen me sad, he's seen me cry uncontrollably and he's seen me fall on the floor in a tearful fit of laughter. (The last time was Beave's link for the hot rod, thanks hun!) I have also tried to give him the experience of having a sibling so he has seen me become very ... uh ... shall we call it "sibling like"? But I will never be the cool one, I will never be his friend. He will never know me in that way. He probably will get tid bits of information about my past here and there and hopefully he can learn enough to stay clean and sober. But I'm still going to need his promises and I'm still praying! Kids never did come with any guarantee and they sure don't come with instructions! All we can do is pray and then wing it!

[MCat]

I didn't tell my kids until they were in high school and when I thought they could handle it without thinking badly of me or saying well you did it so can I.

With our daughter she was 17 and starting to stay out all night. I told her how lucky I was that my parents found out and rescued me...I only lost my eyesight for 2 weeks. Luckily I had no lasting damage. I also told her how embarrassing it was for me to miss out on all the dances, proms etc because my parents had to watch me like a hawk till I was over it. Our son was 15 when I told him. He never did get in trouble, just a couple minor car accidents.

We always told them the dangers we thought they should avoid and that if they did get themselves into something to please call us and we would come. If you lie you get in trouble....if you tell the truth we will try and help.

I like those commercials they have now that say....The kids won't know it's wrong unless we tell them.

[sex_kitten_4u]

[Traxster]

Hmmmmmmmm well i'm the original 60's...love, sex ,and drugs!!!

[Cotties]

my answer is yes.


what else have you tried?

[Annie]

There isn't anything besides crack that I haven't tried at some point in my life. Most of the time the biggest effect was on my pocketbook and I wanted to try it again! My drugs of choice were usually pot, hash, opium, speed and coke. Pot and coke were at the very top of my list. Now I just crave a little weed every so often, but I haven't had it in quite a while.


...Hmmm... one of these days...

[Cotties]

I'm surprised you will admit what you have done. You must be really over it...good for you...There isn't anything besides crack that I haven't tried at some point in my life.

[Norfolkdave]

Never taken drugs you read about in my life, only drugs ( medicines precsribed by my GP)

[jmc3367]

smoked a lot of pot in college but not much else. will take a xanax once in a while. Had my best friend die from an overdose while in treatment. never really wanted anything after that..

[Annie]

A very good customer of mine came in and told me about her friend. He had a son with ADD who was being medicated for it. He was on pretty high doses... anyway, he tried cocaine one time.... just one time, and he overdosed and died.

I was stunned. I too have a son with ADHD who is on high dose medication. My son is about to become a teenager, she scared the shit out of me with that one!

I was looking through the archives today, found this, and decided to ask all of you... how do you talk to your kids about drugs? How do you bring it up? What do you tell them? Do any of your kids have ADHD and does the thought worry you?

[JCcanU]

At age 12 I was tied up and my so called friends used a gas mask hooked to a pot pipe got me tosted from that day on I got stoned on pot till I was 19 Along the way I tryed heirion hash opium LSD mesquline bloter acid , and never got hooked on anything , but did use pot up till 2 years ago, At 17 I watched a few guys make crank and meth and watched them shoot up. I never shot up , Only time I get a shot is from a Dr. when I found out what most drugs were made from it scared the begeuss out of me I would still smoke pot but only at weekenders weddings or a house party I keep my Pot hid from my boys Never wanted them into dugs I talked with them all the time about not doing drugs it must have worked Jr told me the other night he never took no drugs and Knows it was all my talking that keep him from useing it he is 26 years old. he!! if someone had a Joint right now I smoke with them. and its been over a year sence I had a puff.

[Wil]

been lucky so far...my kids are 12 & 16, very straight laced and we talk often...myself..I'm missing a part of the 80s...

[OICurready4me]

I occasionally smoke a joint with friends at a cookout or some occasion where I'm with friends who have it, so maybe once or twice a year. I tried coke once and I didn't like the feelings associated with it and haven't tried anything else. The funny part is that my parents have NEVER talked to me about drugs and at 42, never will. They did talk to me about drinking since I was a pretty heavy drinker in high school. Weekends were pretty much a blur.

I have ADD or ADHD, from age 7 to age 12 I was on Ridlen when I stated getting high I use to take a few more riddlen and drink . it had to be more then Coke and his meds to couse a Overdose. some people are ashamed to tell the hole truth.

[mile high]

For close to 10 years I inhaled leaf, tip, buds, hydro, chocolate buddha, sinsemilla, Mexican dirt weed, power skun, black hash, brown hash, green hash, hash oil, I've even ground up seeds and stems and smoked them.

I've cooked with pot, eaten it in cakes, brownies, banana bread and straight off the plant, I've drunk it in thick shakes and smoothies, teas and, once, smeared resin on my eyeballs because someone told me it would get me stoned (nah, didn't work).

I've grown it, stolen in, given it away, traded it for a wetsuit, even pretended it was parsley in front of a copper.

So, I'm not anti-dope; but I reckon it's time that people, in an attempt to sound enlightened, stop telling the world that marijuana is harmless, when anyone who's been around it for long enough knows that's not true ...

[wall-flower]

Sophmore year of high school I smoked a lot of week. Tried shrooms a couple times. I cleaned up the following year. I realized (by myself) there was no future in drugs.

[homealone]

You know the real problem with drugs???????????

[unctarheel_32]

I was gettin high back when I was younger so much that I even started huffing gas.

[cherokeered]

Well, I can honestly say I never did anything...nor was I ever inclined to....I knew people who did and yes they offered it to me...but I also never smoked cigarettes either....just not my thing...I was a child of the 70's....and I much preferred having my wits about me....

[mrdiscreet]

In my 40s now; have noticed heavy users from my youth are tending to age faster now; it does seem to take its toll (alcohol no less than others)

Not that I'm holier than thou, like my margaritas!

[mile high]

I can't imagine this story ever fitting in a more relevant thread, so I'll tell you about the weirdest thing I ever remember doing while under the influence of amphetamines. If you're easily disturbed, please don't read on.

This happened during a really dire year of my life. At the time, I was of no official abode, and was floating around my mates houses. One friend went on holiday and left me in charge of their flat.


I had little to do, apart from feed the fish.


The effects of the drugs meant I had a constantly runny nose and cough. The first time I went to feed the fish, I sneezed heavily, and some snot accidently landed in the aquarium. The fish went crazy eating it up, so manic that I called a few friends who came over to observe the phenomenon.

I'm ashamed to say that it wasn't long before I wondered how they would react to semen. Not just because I was extraordinarily high at the time, but I was also running low on fish food.

I didn't see any reason why it would harm the fish. Indeed, in Mike Wickham's "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Freshwater Aquariums", said the the best fish food was variety!

I hallucinated for the next few days afterwards that there was a new fish in the tank with my face. I'd always had a fertile imagination.

They were the prettiest angelfish I ever came across.

One of them, Snowball, lived for years.


I hope this reads as a testament to why you shouldn't abuse drugs. If this confession isn't proof enough, some of the stupidity gained will always remain.

(Yea, I know I'm a master baiter)
