Lily Allen Still Thinks Drugs Are Okay…Go Ahead, Try Some
They’re kinda like oysters…you’re not going to know if they’ll kill you or not unless you try them, so go on already, jump in!
The 23-year-old pop star reportedly said potentially lethal drugs like ecstasy do not harm everyone, so the best way to find out was to take them.
‘Parents should say, “Drugs might seem fun, but they do funny things to your brain. Some people react to it good, some don’t. Try it and see what you think”,’ she said.
Miss Allen, who has openly admitted bingeing on drink and drugs when she was younger, appeared to confess that her fame was the only thing stopping her taking ecstasy pills.
‘If I hadn’t been famous I’d have taken loads,’ she said. ‘Wouldn’t be too wise right now.
‘I’ve never been good with cocaine or drugs like that. They make me passionately angry on everything. I steer clear of heroin or crack.’
Well, it’s nice to know that at least she has standards. And here I was starting to worry!
You’ll remember a few months ago when she once again opened her mouth to natter on about how drugs really aren’t so bad, they’re just drawn that way:
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’.
Once again we are subject to the wittering of a self-absorbed, immature, spoiled little brat who can’t possibly imagine that the words coming out of her over-hyped cakehole could, in fact, be ignorant and horrid. Go ahead, kids, try drugs…it’s okay, you won’t know if you’ll die or not unless you take a chance.
It seems like every time we turn around she’s either being carried out of some club or another totally drunk, or she’s bleating on about something or another that she knows nothing about, or she’s making some really bad decisions about her personal life and the people allowed in it. It’s sad and embarrassing to watch such a bright and talented young woman act in this manner. If nothing bad happened to her while she was on drugs, then she just got lucky.
Lily, stop opening your mouth about issues that you shouldn’t be talking about. No, not every drug addict is a dealer, rapist, or prostitute. Some are just regular people trying to live regular lives when things suddenly start to go out of control. However, drugs do destroy lives and families…there are always innocent bystanders, people unfortunate enough to love or be born to or be the parent of an addict. Grow up a little bit more and watch those “functioning” friends of yours become more and more mindless, brain-damaged, and unable to function outside of the little drug world they create for themselves. See them throw their families, friends, and lives away all for the addiction that has taken hold of them in its vise-like grip. Come back in a few years, ten years, twenty years, when many of them are dead and buried and their children are dealing with the fallout that comes from being the child of a drug addict. Then you can mumble on about how drugs are okay and we really should tell our kids that it’s okay to try them…because, after all, how you gonna know if you don’t blow?

It takes a few years to realize that drugs do have a direct negative affect on people’s life ,they basically destroy it. Believe me I have spent a lot of time helping drug abusers in shelters.

Nice reply to the troll K. Also agreed with your comments about the idiotic ramblings of the immature. It is sad that interview is out there for young people to read and possibly heed. Just what the young and the impressionable of the world need to hear from a famous person.

QUOTE: Lily Allen claims a U.K. tabloid got it wrong when they translated comments she made about drugs in a Dutch magazine. Allen was quoted saying kids should “try it and see what you think.”
Here’s the full quote:
“Parents should say, ‘Drugs might seem fun, but they do funny things to your brain. Some people react to it good, some don’t. Try it and see what you think’.”
On Twitter, Allen threatened a law suit:
• “Phoning my lawyers and taking legal action, News of the World needs a better Dutch translator, as if I would say that. And they know it…”
And added:
“For the record, drugs are bad, don’t do them, tell your children, ‘Lily Allen said’…”

That’s a little better, but still not quite up to our exacting standards. Try again, and this time really put your back into it!
