Self-Dentistry

It's common to see stories passed with tight-lipped seriousness from parents to children on their way out for a fun night, describing all the horrible things that they might do to themselves should they try drugs. Therefore, it strikes an immediate chord when a story turns out to be true.
In April of 2002, twenty five year old Samantha Court was found by paramedics on her bed covered in her own blood, 18 of her teeth lying either on the sheets or in a nearby bowl. Suspicion naturally fell on her boyfriend, Jason Morris, who has home at the time.

At Morris' court hearing, however, Samantha revealed that she had removed her own teeth with pliers while high on massive amounts of the drug GHB, which induces hallucinations.
"I turned to face my bedroom wall and a luminous green and pink fly flew out and down my throat," she said. "That's when it started choking me." And so she implemented some quick-fix measures that must have gotten rather tedious after the first half-dozen.
The Jury, likely shaken by Ms. Court's court appearance, returned a not guilty verdict in two hours, clearing Morris of all charges. The couple, still committed to each other, returned home. Another success story that leaves a smile on your face

Absinthe

the ritual

Of course, nothing anyone will say can dissuade you once you're determined to get some of that Green Fairy poontang. To do it right, you will need a few things in addition to the hooch itself: some cold water, sugar cubes, an absinthe glass, and an absinthe spoon.

• 
  Fill your glass with absinthe up to the marked fill line.
  Lay the spoon flat across the mouth of the glass.
  Position a sugar cube over the slots in the spoon.
  Slowly trickle water over the sugar cube and into the glass. With the introduction of water, the mixture will turn milky as the various oils and aromatics precipitate out of solution. (See? Chemistry class was useful.)
  After your sugar cube has finished doing its impression of an eroding urinal cake, continue adding water until you reach your preferred strength. The most popular ratio of absinthe to water is somewhere around 1:5.
  When you're ready, remove the spoon and take a sip.
  Then, in your best Jackie Gleason voice, interject: "MMMM, THAT'S GOOD ABSINTHE!"

Effects of Drugs

The Virginian woman pictured, Penny Wood, signed a consent form in January 2003 to permit her pictures to be used in drug abuse campaigns. For this consent, she escaped a 30 year prison sentence. But by March 2003 the woman was having second thoughts, because it's so damned embarassing. Oddly Wood is quoted saying, "I've paid for my mistakes. I don't want my grandchildren to keep paying for my mistakes." Lady, did we not just establish that you escaped your 30 year sentence, and most specifically have not paid for your mistakes?

Opium

In the history of mankind, there have only been a few commodities with the power to single-handedly change the course of nations. Among those few, three stand head and shoulders above the rest: sugar, oil and opium.
Whether legal or illegal, opium is by far the most successful drug in human history. Over the course of centuries, opium has touched more people than aspirin.
Opium has inspired great art and literature, provoked wars and funded terrorists. Opium has been cultivated for its narcotic effects since the earliest days of recorded history, and even today, it's a huge component of mainstream medicineand the recreational mind-fuck market.Then Helen, daughter of Zeus, turned to new thoughts. Presently she cast a drug into the wine whereof they drank, a drug to lull all pain and anger, and bring forgetfullness of every sorrow. Whoso should drink a draught thereof, when it is mingled in the bowl, on that day he would let no tear fall down his cheeks, not though his mother and his father died, not though men slew his brother or dear son with the sword before his face, and his own eyes beheld it.

Cocaine

The preferred drug of Sherlock Holmes, cocaine was popularized in America as part of Coca-Cola for many years.

Heroin

Heroin
Who lives longer: the man who takes heroin for two years and dies, or the man who lives on roast beef, water and potatoes till ninety-five? One passes his twenty-four months in eternity. All the years of the beef-eater are lived only in time.
