I think it's a tie between meth and heroin because no one can sustain a balanced life while addicted to either substance. Meth has horrible long-term effects on the brain and sometimes can leave people totally incapable of having healthy relationships and destroys your central nervous system and memory.

It may be a good idea to only bring as much cash as you can handle losing, but yeah I mean if you're addiction is overwhelming you so that you can't even travel, then that's really unfortunate. It could be a really good learning experience for a person that's starting to learn boundaries and have fun without fueling their addiction.

That's soo bad. I used to text and drive until I finally got tired of almost running into things haha, it's as dangerous as drinking and driving I swear. Finally one of my friends seriously yelled at me while I was texting and driving while she was in the car. It got through to me because it's like why the heck can't I just pull over and text or only do it at red lights, I felt really terrible about it but she's right and I don't do it anymore.

A friend of mine, their dad went to China recently and he said that it was so crazy because he only saw 2 overweight people the entire time he was there and they were both Americans. It's sad how we're so overwieght and especially when children are.

My friends parents started at 12 am and shopped until 8 am! Can you believe it?? I don't think they're shopping addicts because they only go on that day, still I don't think I'd have the will power to make myself go hhaha.

Methadone build up

Methadone intoxication has taken many lives in these recent years. Many people don't understand the reasons why methdone can be so dangerous. Methadone can build up to lethal levels inside the body. More than 6 million Americans abuse prescription painkillers such as Oxycontin and Vicodin. Painkillers cause more deaths than cocaine and heroin combined.

Once they get hooked, you have to realize it's not a kid whose just out there having fun and doing the wrong thing, it's someone with a disease.

Many addicts use methadone in order to fuel their addiction, ignoring their underlying problems that began their addiction. Fraudulently acquiring methadone is becoming common practice among addicts. Addiction to methadone can take several forms:

- Conning a doctor into prescribing a higher dosage than is required

- Taking more than is the recommended dosage

- Taking methadone in a combination of other drugs, including alcohol

- Using methadone as a 'top up' drug while continuing to take heroin

- selling prescribed methadone in order to buy heroin

Jamba Juice always works for me, it helps with my stomach and it's really the only thing I can keep down. My dad drinks a glass with Alka-Seltzer in it and I think it works lol.

There's never enough for an addict. The good thing I guess is that it's physically impossible to overdose on marijuana. I used to smoke a gram everyday and eventually I could smoke an ounce in about three days. Most people don't think weed is that bad, but it someone tells me they smoke weed, I'll start noticing how forgetful they are and that they're just so goofy lol. The long-term effects are bad too, your memory and attention spand is never the same.

I know a lot of the girls that work at the Macy's where I shop and they're the worst when it comes to shopping. All of their money from Macy's goes right back to Macys. This one girl said that she wanted to void her check so that it could go straight to her balance that she owed. Can you believe that I was like wow, you need help! I definately couldn't work there.

They honestly probably don't realize how harmful opium is. It's part of their everyday lives, everyone they know most likely use it, including themselves. It may not seem like a huge problem. The rehabilitation center in that area, being the only one, needs to raise awareness to those who can't afford to go.

I read up on this a little bit... it is said to prevent the absorption of 1/4 of dietary fat. However it might take longer to work than consumers might expect..

My brother watches that show and it's soo annoying. He'll show me little clips here and there and I guess it's funny but you're right, it's such bad language! And the characters are only in fourth grade, that's the worst part.

I know you may not feel like being around your family and friends, but it'll be good for you. You need to be surrounded by the people that love you dearly, it will help you.
