Do you use drugs? If so why?

[Mike-Flash]

You have a wrong image of people who do drugs. Take weed for example. I smoke at any time of the day. When I wake up, when I go out with friends, whenever. I just take a hit or 2 out of a bowl and I go on with my day. I go out to eat with friends too and we aren't sober. It doesn't make the moment any less cherishable. Drugs even make you open up to people and say things you normally wouldn't. They just make you feel better overall. I don't see that as a bad thing as all as long as one has self control. Yeah it takes up some money, but it's not that expensive and I'm still able to afford other things fine. Of course it was a lot worse when I was an addict, but most of it came from dealing really. Though even when I was doing opiates and benzos, I wasn't getting so smacked or barred that I couldn't function. I still went to parties, movies, whatever and did everything I normally would. Some of my most memorable experiences involved drugs and I've done just about everything.



I appreciate that. I can understand how my first post could have been misleading. I honestly really don't regret most of it though. Yeah I could have saved a lot money, but it's not like my life is permanently damaged or anything. It did cause me to get in trouble with the law a few times, but it was nothing that I couldn't handle and I got through it. There are definitely things I regret, but it's nothing to worry about now.

I agree with you on the opening up part.
It definitely broke my shy habits. I open up to people now and find it easier to make friends.
I am more calm and relaxed when it comes to asking a girl out.

There are good ways to pleasure yourself, and their are stupid/bad ways. Drugs are not a positive solution by any means, they benefit you in no way whatsoever, just like any other negative addiction. Why not spend that time hanging out at a coffee shop or eating half price appetizers at Applebees having a normal conversation with a group of people? Those moments, in my mind, can never be topped as a great stress reliever. Those moments with your friends where you're having the best of times will be moments you'll never regret or forget. Can you seriously tell me that sitting in a dim lit room taking a massive hit from a bong is a moment you will cherish?



I have huge amounts of respect for you after you posted this. Initially when you posted that you had no regrets from your addiction to drugs, I misunderstood your meaning behind it. The way I interpreted your statement was that you had no regrets about getting addicted to the drugs themselves. The positives that came from that addiction, however, are a very good thing. Just so I'm getting this right, completely disregarding the positives of a bad addiction, would you find becoming addicted to a drug being a regrettable decision? That is the point I was getting at.

NinjaEdit : I'm really sorry if I came across as judgmental, I didn't mean to sound that way and was just getting a bit worked up. I couldn't possibly judge you or anyone, because that's not my right and I could never possibly know enough about you to do so, even if I knew you my whole life.

Marijuana.

Smoked all over the world, in some countries its even legal or widely accepted
Jamaica, Amsterdam... the list goes on
its close to being legalized in California/Alaska and such fully but you can buy it over a shop counter with a medical card which anyone can get.

If you've never used drugs then you cant possibly accept/understand why people use them

You were addicted to opiates and benzos for four years and you don't regret it? I'm just going to assume you still do drugs. Yea, drugs are like any other addiction, they leave you with nothing after you spend countless dollars and time on them. Great, woohoo. Major accomplishment you've done there, especially since that money couldn't have possibly gone to anything good. Oh, and lets not mention the drugs that have harmful physical side effects. Not only do they leave you with nothing, they leave you with less than you had before.

You can try all you want, drugs offer no real benefit except for some pleasure, so in the end they really aren't worth it. Don't even try to argue that with me, there's really no point.

I've seen countless people fall into drugs and guess which direction their lives are heading? I don't need to use drugs to understand that they're completely worthless, and I definitely don't need someone who got addicted to drugs for four years and didn't regret it giving me advice.

I never said in my last statement anything about addiction. Drugs can be addictive and they can lead to potentially worse things. In essence, the same reason I don't play World of Warcraft is the same reason I don't do drugs. WoW has an unbelievably addictive quality to it and unless you RWT, offers no real benefit. Although, if one has enough self control, WoW can be played without that happening. I see what you mean, because in the same way one can do drugs without them becoming a problem. But, does that still make it worthwhile?

I completely agree with you 100% on all things you have said. You explained it a lot better then I can.

Thanks, I appreciate that, although looking back, I think I was a bit extreme. The only reason I'm that way is because I've seen the effects of the worst possible situation, and it's completely not worth it. And that just involved Alcohol. I'll admit, I don't see Marijuana being very harmless if at all, but for personal reasons I still won't use anything of that nature.

I'm sorry, but I do not believe this statement at all.

Now I don't 100% agree with what Returning Truth said, however from personal experience I've found many people who've shunned and ridiculed anyone who have even tried marijuana once (this is from high school), but I suppose it revolves around who you hang out with. Imo when you try out marijuana for the first time you'll see just how harmless it really is, but use IN MODERATION. Just know that smoking a cigarette has much more hazardous effects on your health (not to mention, completely legal) than smoking a joint.

 

[HAXORDELUXE]

Ecstasy and occasionally Gas at raves.
Alcohol at social events.

Hasn't fucked my life up yet [no I didn't drop out of school - start university this year] and seems to enhance my night.. Don't do it very often though.

Marijuana just never did it for me. Don't know why.. guess i'm more of a stim person.

I know this isn't what you were implying, but I've never shunned or ridiculed anyone that did or does marijuana, I just choose not to be around it or do it myself.

 

[Persia_Ugly]

I smoke pot, why because I like the feeling it gives me. Have smoked pot for years. I know it has adverse effects, just as much as the average smoker knows his fate.

 

[BuySellRs]

nope, never have never will

 

ive used alot of different drugs in my past for various reasons... mostly becuz i enjoy experimenting. hydroplonic shroom caps, beans, mdma or known as molly, weed, yayo-coke, oxies,bars,and vikidans. most of them were experimental i only really smoke weed now a days. hydro of course... but i did it mostly at parties or just trien to get fucked up with friends and have a good time. by far my fav is acid,shrooms, weed and maybe mdma every so often. hullicigens are by far my favorite i just get enjoy em. i dont do druggz for stress/ life reasons. i smoke cuz i want to and i love playin rs baked outta my mind... just makes me laugh and enjoy everything a lil more. my girl bitches about me smokin but i tell here mary jane was here first and u know were the door is lol... i would like to say tho pillz are by far the worst... i almost od'd on waffers and vikidan waffers are methodone btw. never do it again and will never touch a pill ever again. not that i was heavy into em there just fking retarded... stick to weed and ull be okay... smokin dirties made me zone out btw... nnot my thing.

 

[MrYoshi]

drugs r bad

 

[capper4lyf]

yeah i know some people that smoke weed and cant handle it and they say its not even that great just makes you feel shit after a while.
The thing i dont understand is the long debate about whether Marijuana does any harm or not and everyone knows tobacco harms your lungs and causes cancer yet thats legalized and marijuana isnt. IMO all the people against Marijuana are just idiots unless they actually have a full on reason to why but most are just following the crowd.
