Why don't you do drugs?

I don't do drugs recreationally because I don't like the idea of something other than myself being in control of my mind. We're subjected constantly to bullshit mind control devices such as advertising, and other media. I don't feel the need to subject myself to further loss of my own mind. Furthermore, if me and my friends did the idiotic things we do sober under the influence of drugs, we would all be dead.
I don't do drugs to cope with emotional problems because I see it as a sign of absolute weakness, and consider myself strong enough to handle my own problems.
I'm a bit disillusioned with the culture of violent poseurs it has produced, but I claim straight edge because I agree with the philosophy behind it.

I don't do drugs. I've been buzzed once, loosened up twice, by alcohol, naturally, and those experiences alone have taught me one thing. I don't like not being in control of myself. You do weed or drink, go ahead, I don't really want to be there but you have fun. You do anything more serious and threatening, I'll consider you a dumbass and, unless we were friends before, I'd gtfo before it comes down on my head.
And every argument for alcohol has been tried on me and it doesn't make a damn difference to me. I don't like drinking, you go nuts.

The Black Wall.
I was 11 when i had to go to the hospital on the account of my epilepsy, the doctors gave me this sleeping fluid that they injected into my veins. Long story short, i tripped out and the only thing that was behind me was a black mass.

My problem with it is while things like food and what not generally do not leave the original. Most alcoholics with emotional dependencies do not move on to drugs. Most people who over eat just keep over eating.Swarley said:
However when it comes to weed if a teenager uses that drug through there high school life medicating every unhappy moment it can very well lead to harder drug use once the weed starts to weaken.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to say its an epidemic, or that its even a moderate problem among users. However when it comes to teenagers, who are not exactly know for making good choices. Out of the twenty who do it safely it only takes the one who moves on to hard drugs to spoil any chance of people taking the drug seriously to consider legalization.
From my own life i mostly see people starting use at 14.
Most psych books recognize emotional dependencies as a distinct from of addiction. I was also not using a blanket term seeing as how in the original post i made i went into great detail to make sure i was referring to a distinct psychological dependency and not physical ones. You can debate it, but that debate has been going on for a very, long, time. I care little for it. I have chosen my side. You have chosen yours.BobDobolina said:
However i do not view it as an exaggeration. An exaggeration would be "USING THIS DRUG WILL MAKE YOU EMOTIONALLY DEPENDENT!!!!!111!!!ONE" Where as what I am saying is, "A teenager who is already going through a shit load of physical and emotional changes using pot every time the slightest thing happens will cause them to form an emotional dependency. This can have bad results and ignoring it, even if it is only one out of every twenty, fifty, hundread kids is neglectful".
Understand?
LSD and pot only have possible long term side effects to people with preexisting conditions. For most people both are harmless to your brain.PoisonUnagi said:
I can see your point, and I completely agree. The only people who should really be using any sort of mind altering substance should be those who are either in a healthy state of mind and have done the research prior to it.Kagim said:
Damn teenagers ruining legalization for the rest of us!
Not against it, in fact most of my friends use drugs from one degree to another. I just choose not to use any form of drugs rather than the occasional alcohol consumption.
And no, I don't go around preaching to everyone why they shouldn't do drugs, I just don't say anything.

Anything other than Alcohol is annoying and boring.
Having ludicrous philosphical conversation with pot heads gets very annoying, talking to people who are bouncing all over the place on speed is annoying, Putting up with the arrogance of a coke head is also very annoying.
Anyone who does anything harder than the generic stuff listed above is not someone i want to talk to.
Not the only reason i stay away from anything other than Alcohol and Caffine, but one of the main ones.

It's a waste of money and health. But money most of all. My dad smokes and one of the reasons I decided I wouldn't smoke was cause it added up to a lot of money, which I so could've been using for something else.
I like to have my mind clear for thinking. I don't want to be a slave to addiction. Many are harmful in the long term. Those are my main reasons.
This is a bit off topic but I just wanna say that while I don't believe in religion, I believe that it is helpful in teaching moral values, such as no drugs.bryanfuel said:
Honey, I'm a gamer: i can't afford drugs. X3 okay, jokes aside; my reason is because I have an addictive personality. I get addicted to pretty much anything so I have tow atch what I use to entertain myself with, that and Ih ave a genetic predisposition to certain diseases that you can get th rough smoking. All in all, it's just not worth it :S
I don't do drugs because I know it will screw with my (brilliant) mind. Also, I possibly am allergic to marijuana, so that isn't an option.
I don't see a point in intentionally killing myself faster through whatever means it would bring. I don't even drink or smoke tobacco.
