I do smoke pot and have dropped acid once or twice. Not because I really need to get away from anything, just as another form of recreation that I started when I was bored out of my mind.
never have and im not really opposed to them but when you find out that someone you care about a lot does them, it kinda sucks =\
I don't do them, and while at times I am mildly curious about it I always end up thinking of my brother and it kills any desire to use them. If they ever became legal i would likely be more inclined to try it.
I also do not mind other people do them. I know people who use it and they lead perfect fine lives. Go to work, attend college at maintain good grades.
What i don't like about them is the bits of crap people talk about them. The way some people act like its the most greatest thing in the world. When i hear a kid say "Oh man, i haven't gotten high in 12 hours this sucks" or "I can;t get through a day of work without getting high" when talking about there Mc job I'm sorry but I can;t help but feel disgusted. I don't ridicule them for it, because its none of my business, however it still seems pathetic to me. Care to note anyone who acts like that about anything bothers me. Be it drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, shopping, sex. Liking these things are fine, but when you earnestly start bitching about not having them for half a day or complaining you can't get through a boring job without them...
As well as the under estimation of the mental effects it has. While similar to alcohol in a way to escape bad situations pot has no real physical side effect to punish you. While a night drinking after a bad day at work might end with a hangover and feeling like shit pot won't. So while the person who drinks may become mildly discouraged to drink away problems the one who used pot has no physical reason to want to avoid pot again. So while the drinker might not drink next time a emotional problem arises the drug user is much more likely to go back to pot to medicate an emotional problem.
In the hands of a responsible, emotionally healthy person pot can be a nice way to relax without any repercussions. Then again so is alcohol, video games, sex, tv, food. We can see how all these things can violently bite your ass.
I feel the dangers of pot in particular are underplayed and ignored. When i hear "booze is more dangerous" well yeah physically maybe. However in the hands of someone who is very emotional *cough* teenagers *cough* what you can get is people who have medicated themselves every bad feeling. Who have become emotionally dependent on the drug. When the drugs effects DO start to weaken this is when people move on to harder shit. This is the gateway effect your teachers taught you. However doing pot will NOT force you into this cycle. Doing pot every time the smallest thing happens to you will. I watched as a friend of mine from school did this. She medicated every negative feeling. Then moved on to hard drugs.
Please, before you quote me and tell me how you smoked weed all through high school and your perfectly fine realize a) I'm probably not talking about you and b) i know this doesn't happen to everyone. I know more well adjusted drug users then maladjusted ones.
I however feel that if pot or anything like it is ever to get closer to becoming legal people need to start accepting the side effects of the substance. The more people deny any negative issues that are carried along with weed the more people can use it against the substance. Move for responsible use, not remaining blissful ignorant of real dangers of the substance.
Thank you.

Caffeine is a drug, Alcohol is a drug, Paracetamol is a drug. Most people take drugs without realizing what constitutes a drug.
Weed should be legal, it can barely be even classed as a drug, as it has zero negative side effects; well apart from hungry, happy and sleepy, and of course lets not forget the fact that it improves the quality of life for cancer patients, the terminally ill and those with painful or debilitating illnesses, but that's another topic altogether.

During my stupid/impressionable years (11-18) I drank five peoples share of alcohol, but aside from a single draw on a bud (Also first time ever any kind of smoke), that's it for drugs. Unless cigarettes smoke, in which I also smoked about five peoples share worth. Then I was told by my doctor that that was stupid, so I gave it all up and now spend my addiction on video games....
Alcohol and some weed sometimes.
I enjoy a good drink with my friends every so often (not recently due to holidays etc.), and I reckon I'm happiest then because I stop giving a shit about things (other than beating someone at some game or playing frisbee without falling over). Though warning: sometimes you do fall over and sometimes this can lead to you breaking your phone and losing things (D
. In moderation of course, I've never been at the point where I couldn't remember all main events of the night (I forget small things easily anyway) or had to throw up etc., pretty sure I'd get sick of it at that point.
Weed is fun, but I get terribly paranoid so I can't really enjoy it unless at some chilled spot like someone's house or something. Mid/pastmidnight snacks have never been more fun / fulfilling.

It's on the California ballot this year. With how much support it is getting from those who don't even use marijuana recreationally combined with all of those over 18 who do, I am 90% certain the measure will pass.Kagim said:
We'll see how well people can hold their shit when given an inch of freedom. I'm all for the decriminalization of pot, but I really can't predict what kind of effect this will have in California.
My friends say I already look like I do it because of the lack of sleep and overall laziness. I'm afraid that if I ever tried pot I might actually slow my body down so much that I would get the ability to freeze time. Hhhmmmmm . . . . Guess I'm off to find a drug dealer.
... Alcohol?
I answered "No", because by "drugs" I assume you meant only specific kinds of drugs, like marijuana, cocaine, etc...
But should I have answered "Yes" for my consumption of alcohol? I think you need to be a bit more specific.

Seriously, don't think that just because Salvia is only 5-10 minutes long that it couldn't be total hell, because it seriously could. Terrance McKenna once said that a bad mushroom trip feels a lot like if you just heard that your entire family had died in a car wreck. I've never used mushrooms, but I have used Salvia, and considering that high dose mushrooms are supposed to be more intense than Salvia, that is the understatement of the entire century.isawdrones said:
I've used Salvia 3 times total. The first time I used it I didn't hit threshhold, the next two times I used it I was using it in combination with JWH-18 as a launch pad, and then topping it off with Nitrous Oxide. The first of those two trips, the first thing I experienced was that I felt like my physical body had been cut in half, and my consciousness stayed with the left side of my body, while my right side floated off to who the hell knows where. I'm lucky that I was able to think to myself "imagine what people will think when I tell them this," because that made me laugh, and if I hadn't laughed, I could've been in for some serious shit. After that I transformed into an extradimensional egg carton, which is how I spent the rest of the trip. The second of those two trips, is kind of hard to explain... it's like if the memories of that trip were a movie, and someone took all of the frames, and used photoshop to make all of the different frames into one frame. So, I sort of have amnesia about what happened during that time, but I have some vague idea of what happened.
Either way, I am really lucky that neither of those trips went south. A friend of mine, after his first experience with Salvia, had to spend the entirety of the next day watching reassuring self help videos just to maintain his sanity. And while my trips didn't go that bad, the truth is that you still can't come all the way back from an experience like that. Anyone who read my earlier posts, detailing my time as a drug addict, and the subsequent problems that have followed me since I got clean should already have an idea of how bad even psychedelics can be (which, by the way, makes up the vast majority of what I used). The point I'm trying to make here, is that you definately should not take any drug lightly, and especially do not take Salvia lightly. Period.
There's a short list of drugs I've tried, but there are only two that I enjoy. Do I recommend them to people who've never tried them? No, not really. Why not? Because, you do it once, it rolls around in your head forever and you'll always want it. I'm not addicted by any means, but if it ever comes up, it's almost impulse to say, "Yeah man, I'll take a hit."
Assuming you mean recreational drugs, no I don't use them. I've tried pot, but as a non smoker it disagrees with my lungs badly. I've become interested in trying to extract oil from marijuana, mostly because it would be neat. I also want to try ecstasy some day.
They're mind-altering substances. Sometimes they're great fun and sometimes they're hell in a capsule/bottle/pipe. If you get decent stuff and don't make them central to your life, you're probably in for a good time.
Sorry for the essay sized post...ilovemyLunchbox said:
At any rate I hope the bill passes so we can see some real data come in about the whole subject. Though not as useful as actual legalization.
If Canada is any indication we have very lenient laws against drug possession. Where unless your running a massive operation with 500 plants, working for a mob or gang, or selling to youths the most your looking at is a single year, if that. As well possession usually just ends with the cop taking it and telling you to screw off.
It was made illegal for the stupidest reasons too.The Jakeinator said:
Marijuana is to drugs as Herpes is to STDs: Too many people have it and it's too easy to get to be bad/illegal.
