We think the kids of Grange Hill sang it best when they released 'Just Say No' in the aftermath of Zammo's horrific drug addiction that lead Roland to miss some French oral after his alarm clock was injected into a vein under Zammo's left testicle. Then again Erkan Mustafa later claimed that the whole cast were off their faces most of the time anyway so screw it... do as much drugs as you like.
You may, however, want to draw a line around the 40,000 mark. Unless that is you want to try and break this chap's record:
Doctors believe a man who claims to have taken 40,000 Ecstasy pills during his lifetime is the biggest recorded user of the drug, it has emerged.... At the height of his drug use he was consuming 25 pills every day.
So what kind of effect did that have on him you ask? Well we're guessing that the word fucked underlined in red ink appears a lot on his medical chart:
Though the man, who is now 37, stopped taking the drug seven years ago, he still suffers from severe physical and mental health side-effects, including extreme memory problems, paranoia, hallucinations and depression. He also suffers from painful muscle rigidity around his neck and jaw which often prevents him from opening his mouth. The doctors believe many of these symptoms may be permanent.
He also has trouble with his shopping.
Rather than try and help him at this point perhaps it would be best to encourage him to acquire new helpful addictions - a couple like him housed at nuclear power stations could chomp their way through spent uranium rods much faster than we can bury them in Wales.
