AboveTheInfluence.com in a Nutshell


Alcohol
Alcohol actually blocks some of the messages trying to get to the brain. This alters a person's perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing

They claim with sources:
My comments are in pinkish purple, woo!

- In 2006, more than 19% of drivers ages 16 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had been drinking alcohol.
(That's 1 in 5)

- More than 4 in 10 people who begin drinking before age 15 eventually become alcoholics.
Damn, that's a lot.

- Some medications — including many painkillers and cough, cold, and allergy remedies�contains more than one ingredient that can react with alcohol.
Something to think about for all you hardcore partiers

- Mixing alcohol and cocaine is the most common cause of drug-combination related deaths.
Though its likely you're really depressed and suicidal for attempting the combination period

Ecstasy
- Some problems can occur while or soon after taking the drug, others come days or weeks after taking Ecstasy.
I've actually had this happen to me

Hallucenogens
Risks:
- Disturbing psychological effects
- Loss of muscular coordination

LSD users can also experience flashbacks, which are when the original drug's effects suddenly reoccur up to a year after the initial use. Because flashbacks can occur without warning, they can cause significant distress or impairment, especially if this occurs in an uncomfortable or dangerous setting such as at work, school, or while driving.
Pretty crazy. But I'm sorry that sounds totally cool

Some LSD users experience severe, terrifying thoughts and feelings of despair, fear of losing control, or fear of insanity and death while using LSD.
I've heard this is very much true. Never know what could happen

PCP is addictive — its repeated abuse can lead to craving and compulsive PCP-seeking behavior, despite severe adverse consequences
Bias wording, but true

Mary Jane, Baby
Additionally, there are higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thinking among people who use marijuana when compared to people who don't use
That's because we know more about the world, and it's kinda depressing

The short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning.
Biggest problem, honestly. But we learn about DIFFERENT things

Prescription Drugs
These medications, when taken inappropriately, can cause addiction because they impact the same areas of the brain as heroin
Something to think about, since pain pills are getting so popular

Smoking puts your friends and family at risk. Each year approximately 3,000 non-smokers die of lung cancer from second-hand smoke.
Are we being selfish? Or is this mainly a problem with people that smoke around their kids?

They seem to say that cigarettes contribute to other drug abuses ?

Analysis:
Some pretty good facts. None of what we haven't heard before.
