Lily Allen: Go Ahead, Take Drugs, They Aren’t All Bad
You know, you step back sometimes and take a good, hard look at just who has made it to celeb-dom, and you have to wonder…is there a finite amount of talent and brains God gives a person, and if a person has more talent then there has to be a deficit in brains? Kind of like Sims, where if you want to give them more ”nice” personality points you have to make room somewhere else, like taking away “neat” points?
I think that’s the case with Lily Allen. Her “talent” points were filling up so some of the “brain” points had to go to the “talent” part. Case in point: Lily believes that drugs aren’t all bad…after all, not everyone who takes them does something awful like, I don’t know, dies or something:
The 24-year-old singer said: ‘The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you – you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that’s not true.
‘I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work everyday, no problem at all.
‘But we never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn’t sensationalise this thing that just exists.’
In the interview for The Word magazine she admitted to taking drugs in the past but said she no longer did so.
But Miss Allen went on to say that she felt ‘annoyed’ that her record label was putting her in two-star hotels.
She said if she had been a musician 20 years ago ‘I’d have been booked in at the Ritz with five grams of cocaine on my table’.
I mean, what are you going to say to that? Obviously this young woman has a bit of a warped sense of the world if she believes that drugs don’t affect people’s lives in extremely negative ways. Let’s see her coke-addled friends in a few years, when they can’t function at their job because they’ve rotted their brains away on coke, or when their kids are taken away because their cokehead parents can’t take care of them, or when they are found dead in a mess of powder and rolled-up dollar bills. Since she’s admitted to past drug and alcohol problems of her own, you’d think she would have a bit more sense…but hey, denial ain’t just a river, folks.
No, not every drug addict is a prostitute, a rapist, or a dealer. Some are just regular people trying to live regular lives and they found that somewhere it all got out of control. But drugs do destroy lives and families…I’ve had it affect my extended family more than once. The addict isn’t the only one who deals with it…there are innocent bystanders, collateral damage, people who’s only crime was to love or be born to or be the parent of an addict. I think little Lily should grow up a bit and learn a few more things before she starts running off at the mouth, because this spoiled, immature little brat obviously has no clue what life is really about.
So Lily, put that in your nose and snort it.

Stupid idiot. If you take coke you probably won’t die but it will effect your mental health and you will end up a paranoid wibbling wreck.
Oh my God I just agreed with you. Can you go back to writing shitty celeb stories so I can hate you again?

I agree that cocaine can be detrimental to oneself, however you approached writing this article with a blunt and vastly ignorant mindset. Rather than attempt to deduce and refute her claim (of which is mostly valid), you approached this with the same fascist and ignorant mindset she commented on. Though I can not speak for her, her point (I assume) is that drugs are not a black and white subject, and they are not. Everything in moderation, as some say. Do not misunderstand me, the irresponsible use of drugs can be quite dangerous; however, the negative connation that they have gained throughout the years is not solely their fault. There have been numerous slander adds based on little to no scientific evidence, put out by the government and other agencies to aid such connotations.
It is completely understandable to disagree with someone, though in the future might I suggest at least trying to write responses with semi-open mind, or at the very least, do some research. Thus stating to your audience that you are efficient at what you do, and not just some slanderous entity attempting to harm a celebrity’s image.
