I would actually assume playing games excessively is worse for your body than infrequent drug use.

this has to be a joke
there's no way he's serious
time for the sarcasm card trinick

i always find it funny how its the people who've never tried a drug telling the "druggies" how bad it is

if rec. drugs were as bad as people say they are like 75% of friends would be dead by now

Yeah but even if they don't die it cokes with awful side effects that could last a lifetime.

I would actually assume playing games excessively is worse for your body than infrequent drug use. Sitting for extended periods of time is really bad for your body and can cause embolisms. Using the controller excessively or typing excessively can result in carpal tunnel syndrome.

I've agreed with everything you've said in the thread but I just can't agree with this one.

Permanent brain damage isn't bad?

Yeah but even if they don't die it cokes with awful side effects that could last a lifetime.

that's funny because they all normal as could be

[Akio-]

you guys forget that trinick actually isn't handicapped and researches everything he uses so he can do it safely

I've agreed with everything you've said in the thread but I just can't agree with this one.

it doesn't really matter if you agree with it. I mean, your disagreement doesn't change whether or not the drugs he uses harm him. and even if they did, he certainly wouldn't stop because some thirteen year old on the blockland forum said they disagreed with him

That wasn't the backbone of why I said that. I just flat out disagree.

They probably don't try them because they know they're bad?

What kind of drug are you talking about here?  Tylenol or something?

I've had people in my family addicted to drugs (meth and heroin) and neither of these family members were normal.  If people acted normal on these sort of drugs, then things like therapy and interventions wouldn't be a thing.

pretty convenient that he doesn't do meth and heroin then

Nope, I'm standing by that. Playing video games all day is awful for your health.

Let's take the health risks of Cocaine. I'm not going to take an easy drug like marijuana. Cocaine hurts your body in a couple of ways. First off, it's a vasoconstrictor which means it makes your veins tighter. The primary thing that does is increase blood pressure. It also increases your resting heart rate to ~115 BPM, which is normal for a person who is walking. As a combination, increased blood pressure and increased heart rate do pose a short term risk to your heart. Long term, it stresses it more because it has to pump harder and faster. This can lead to heart disease over a long period of time. Secondly, cocaine is slightly toxic to your liver. Comparitively to alcohol, it's really not even worth mentioning, but it is.

Now let's look at the health risks of sitting down. These are statistics pulled from mayoclinic about sitting for more than 4 hours a day:
- A nearly 50 percent increased risk of death from any cause
- About a 125 percent increased risk of events associated with cardiovascular disease, such as chest pain (angina) or heart attack

Harvard linked sitting too long with heart disease, diabetes, and other things. More precisely, a 15% increase of dying of heart disease, a 13% higher chance of getting cancer, and a 91% increase in chance of getting diabetes.

Do they still do them? Just cause it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.

People who play videogames multiple hours every single day look like they're in awful health. Hunchback, bad physical condition, pale white skin, degenerating eyesight, introverted behavior, muscle stiffness, bags under eyes. The list goes on and it sounds a lot worse than getting stoned every once in a while.

Appenda:

In 1995 the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) announced in a press release the publication of the results of the largest global study on cocaine use ever undertaken. However, a decision by an American representative in the World Health Assembly banned the publication of the study, because it seemed to make a case for the positive uses of cocaine. An excerpt of the report strongly conflicted with accepted paradigms, for example "that occasional cocaine use does not typically lead to severe or even minor physical or social problems." In the sixth meeting of the B committee the US representative threatened that "If World Health Organization activities relating to drugs failed to reinforce proven drug control approaches, funds for the relevant programs should be curtailed". This led to the decision to discontinue publication. A part of the study was recuperated and published in 2010, including profiles of cocaine use in 20 countries, but are unavailable as of 2015
