Why don't you do drugs?

[GnomeThief]

Hard drugs I want to steer clear of for health and legal reasons. Plus I really don't have any reason for wanting to use them.

Party drugs like cannabis or alcohol I would probably indulge in every once and awhile if it weren't for the legal repercussions that I would face for doing so at this point in time.

Because I'm not stupid and I don't want to take drugs.

 

[Nifarious]

my 2 cents.
Stigma makes (good) alcohol sexy and easily sociable, whereas pot isn't so neat as that. I used to say that smoking up makes me less inclined to do my work (which is more important to me than what I to do hang out), but when I drink, I already commit myself to not working for that evening anyway. Really, if pot were legal, I'd have it around too, but I'm not willing to go through the work to procure it, ect.
What I love most about my stimulant of choice isn't drunkenness (physical), but how I feel when I'm enjoying a drink (mental). It's simply an instant mindset. I can enjoy a cigarette or cigarillo, but again, because it's not cool to smoke, I only do so on odd occasions.

In short, it's not simply that social perception dictates what I can enjoy. The substance's pleasure is only secondary to the social pleasure that I access through the drug. It's all social currency, which is just fine. What the drug does isn't as important as what it gives you...no different from voyeuristically looking at Vogue or MTV Cribs, ect. It's just that the former actually can be a way to extend your social magnaminity, whereas the latter gets you nowhere further than pacification with your shitty life.
Anyway, let's keep that tangent from continuing.

Just a question here, are you saying that people who do drugs are all stupid?

I meant recreational drugs when I said that. I'm sorry to be offensive.

 

[Double A]

I'm too cheap to take up another expensive hobby, and quite frankly, I don't want to fuck with my head.

 

[lithiumvocals]

Why do people keep saying, "Oh, my parents wouldn't approve."?(I'm pretty sure that grammar is wrong but whatever)

One of the fun parts about being an adolescent(I'm assuming a good deal of us here are) is saying, "Fuck you, mom and dad! I'm a douche and I can do I want!" I want to explore and experience new things, not to live life safe. I may get a few bruises but, hey, they're battle scars. Summer after my senior year, my buddies and I are gonna get some of our girl friends(not "girlfriends"(by the way, you would not believe how easy girls are where I live )) and take my hippy van(yes, I have a hippy van) across country, having sex and getting fucked up beyond all belief(well, as much you can get fucked up with weed). Also, for you skeptics out there, my friends are really close and we have promised each other not to get to messed up too bad and to make sure whoever's driving isn't under the influence of anything.





I have nothing against people that don't smoke. I just hate their excuses and their constant bashing of me.

[Zealous]

Kinda a no brainer for me. I'm incredibly addicted to anything (food mostly) and I'll just keep eating till there's none left and i won't notice I ate it all. Switch food for drugs and you've got a really unhealthy situation. Plus my dad's family is a huge alcoholic one (five generations of extreme drunkenness) and drugs are generally bad for your health.
All that adds up to me definitely not wanting to even try them, for fear that I'll never get off of them and kill myself in the process.

 

[Wither]

i dont, because my mommy says so.
in all seriousness though, my mum used to work in an alcohol and drug (redundant i know) rehabilitation centre, and i've talked to her alot about pros and cons of recreational drug use.

 

[lithiumvocals]

Their excuses meaning it's stupid, I don't want upset my parents, Etc.

I have nothing against religion(though i don't like it much myself), Lack of funds, or bad or traumatic past experiences with yourself or family members.

I understand it can be scary if you or a friend or a loved one has had problems with drugs, it's just that it's never happened to me.

Oh yeah, the reason I hate parents and most adults in general is that all the ones I know have huge poles stuck up there asses about everything.

Also, ever heard the song "Longview" by green day (before they went emo)? That basically describes where I live. It's boring as shit.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

I don't do drugs only because A) I don't no who to go too or where to go to buy weed and B) I've got very little money right now so even if knew the right people and tried to buy, I would most likely get either laughed off or very little of it

 

[Natdaprat]

Alcohol is about as far as I go since seeing suicide first handed from drug abuse. It's not worth the money, the time, or my body.

 

[lithiumvocals]

I hate it when people tell their horror stories about drugs, etc. It makes me feel guilty...

 

[Kelthurin]

I smoked weed a couple of times when I was 16. Made me laugh like a moron, was fun at the time, but I fail to see the point now. I've no need for it. As for trying heavier stuff? No. I've seen what it can do, and cigarettes are going to remain my worst flaw. Also, I like being in control of myself. I don't like that feeling I get when I'm high, or very very drunk. Doesn't feel right. I drink, of course, but not often at all. Then again when I do.. Weeeeeell. Lampshades and hats aren't safe from me.

 

[Levitas1234]

I feel that I am odd enough without any added chemicals flowing through my brain. Both I and the world do not need me to get any stranger, or possibly have the desire to follow through on some of my thoughts.
One other thing is that I just don't see the fun in getting wasted.

I'm not being aggressive, I'm just curious >_> Have you ever actually been wasted?

Nnnope.
The only drugs I've taken are prescribed to me for ADHD.

Which are much much worse than weed, you take amphetamines you are a drug user.


I smoke weed everyday, I smoke weed everyday because i have nothing better to do. I'm bored, so i do drugs because drugs are fun.

 

[Ekit]

Because I have self respect.

 

[lithiumvocals]

Because I have self respect.

Ooooooooh, there's another one I hate. Just because I do some weed doesn't mean I have no self respect.

 

[likalaruku]

1)Because "everyone's doing it" & I'm not everyone.

2)Because they cost money.

3)Because I'm a tightwad. If I'm going to spend more than $10 on something, it had better last for years or be some sort of tasty meat.

4)I'm already a hypochondriac. I don't need REAL health issues to worry about on top of stuff that MIGHT be wrong with me. :h noes!::

5)Cuz I don't wanna.

 

[iccted]

absinthe, weed n coke.

its alllll about moderation, so never go overboard with drugs. also i have a personal rule; dont inject, itll not be worth it.
