- Do you use drugs? No
- Have you ever used drugs, and if so, do you regret it? No, but I've been in the company of other people taking them and have also been offered them, which wasn't pleasant.
- Do any of your friends use drugs, and if so, how do you feel about this? One of my friends from my old school did along with some of his friends from his area who I didn't know very well. I felt uneasy when in their company.
- What do you think of people who do use drugs? I think that they need help, there's usally something not quite right in their lives which is the reason why they take drugs.
- Do you class all drugs the same? No, things like alcohol and nicotine are different to heroin etc...
- What do you think of "recreational drug use"? It's not as bad I don't think but could still get out of control and cause serious harm to people
- Do you consider some drugs to be safe? I don't think that soft drugs are as dangerous as hard drugs but I still wouldn't regard any drugs to be safe. Even nocotine and alcohol damages your health if used too often for too long.
- Would you like to see any drugs legalised/decriminalised? No
- Do you class all drug users the same? I think that people who take hard drugs are far worse than people who take soft drugs, I also think that injecting is way worse as well.
- Do you think the current methadone program is worthwhile? I've only just found out what this is, but from what I can see, if it gets people off drugs and onto a drug that is not harmful then surely that's a positive thing.
- Do you think that kids are well enough educated nowadays about the risks of drugs? Funnily enough we had a workshop at school today talking about drugs but I didn't really learn anything that I didn't know before. I think that many kids aren't well educated enough about drugs as many still go and take them.
