[el-ahrairah]

There are many who would disagree with that.

 

[marty21]

[Orang Utan]

just to reiterate - are you implying something here?

 

[MrSki]

It's not addictive

What about the fact that a rock or two can & will kill & human when swallowed but squirrels have genetically altered to be able to live off it rather than acorns.

I wish i hadn't bumped this now It was one of urban's finest moments in showing up the tabloid press for the gullible scaremongerers they are, and now it's just gonna end up being a bun fight

 

[Brixton Hatter]

it even ended up on the front page of the grauniad a few days after the original sun story!

but they were taking the piss by then...

 

[maximilian ping]

i spoke to the journo at the SLP at the time and full marks to him for getting such a great front page out of a funny post on a fairly obscure website

 

[Brixton Hatter]

yep, the old adage is true - never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

 

[linerider]

and now it's just gonna end up being a bun fight

NO it's not.

Sorry to piss on your chips but crack is not addictive... Thread over

That's why some people can't stop smoking it innit.

You don't get any withdrawals from it

 

[Orang Utan]

why do people fuck up their lives and rob and steal to get it then?

 

[editor]

You don't get any withdrawals from it

badco: you're shoving your big size nines in a legendary thread and basically ruining it for everyone. If you want to wow the world with your incredibly in-depth knowledge of crack, please start a thread in the drugs forum. This is a thread about crack squirrels. They're not humans in case you hadn't noticed.

There isn't a clearly defined withdrawal syndrome like there is with heroin, alcohol and benzos. So what?

Physical and mental addiction add up to the same fucking thing twat.
