Why don't you do drugs?

[Neonbob]

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.

It's not getting wasted that's the fun it's the night out. If you're surrounded by a bunch of depressing mongrels then getting wasted is shit and boring.

If you're on a great night out and you drink throughout the night then when you're drunk it's hilarious and excellent.

Huh. Well, then I suppose my antisocial tendencies keep me from having to bother with that too much XD
The one person I do hang out with a bunch is my girlfriend, and I'd like to have a clear head while I'm around her.

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

Ah ok . What makes you think being drunk isn't fun then? Personally I didn't understand it 'till I'd had a go myself.

Well, most of my extended family just drinks when they're together, and I just don't like the way they get. Loud, annoying, incessant babble and whatnot. I want to avoid becoming one of those people.
[small]I...also hate the taste of every alcoholic beverage I've ever sampled(Dad felt I should go ahead and get acquainted with them since I'm going to be 21 next year).[/small]

The reason is because you use it often, so you know the effects. (At least I HOPE you do), those who haven't are weary, scared, religion/beliefs, bad memories, families etc. there's many reasons, or like me, your a Soldier and if your caught your in more shit then you can possibly imagine.

I think its sad to need an artificial substance to enjoy yourself. There are health defects whether exaggerated or not. And I like the person I am, most of the time, if I want to alter my mind, overcome inhibitions and have more fun, I feel its something I need to work on personally. I believe in self improvement rather than relying on drugs to improve my time on Earth.

And no I'm not a drinker, besides the occasional glass of tasty things like tia maria or green ginger wine. To be more specific by occasional I mean the last time I consumed alcohol would have been half a year or more ago.

Sorry I forgot, I do consume a decent amount of caffeine (I assume, depends how much is in coca-cola and iced coffee drinks) but again, that's a lot more to do with the taste. I've found that sugar generally gives me more of a buzz than caffeine so if I want to stay up, any softdrink does fine.

My dad was the best detterent,he was a dealer...He also used,one day I came home he didn't even know who I was...I cried tha tday.I always begged him to stop,but he never did,he's currently locked up...I just don't see the need to,not even weed,I don't need a crutch,or a quich bit of fun,I have my life,my hobbies and my friends,I really don't need drugs or alchohol.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Just because I feel that I don't need it. I don't need to be high in order to have fun and frankly I don't really have the money for it anyway.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

I do have the occaisional drink here and there, but as for illegal drugs, I've not tried a single one.

I've just never had interest in it. The old PSA's were more amusing to me than educational. None of my friends did anything above weed or shrooms, and I just never had any desire to try any of it.

I'll link a website and this is basically why I don't do them.

http://www.talktofrank.com/ = look up your drug of choice.

I tried weed once or twice and it was kind of weird and horrible. Made me light-headed and out of control, so basically I rather get drunk without the horrible sick feeling. Alcohol isn't the worst drug. It has no real long time affects, all the other drugs do and that's is why I really don't like them. I have friends who are *far-out maaaaaan* even when they aren't stoned, times to many I asked if they were stoned and they weren't just been affected by the drug damaging thier brain.

I might come across harsh and I really don't want to I personally wouldn't and I don't think that you should stop, it's your choice. ^^

My most common excuse is that there's already enough shit rattling around up there, and I don't need a bunch of foreign chemicals fucking up the works.

As for drinking, I don't understand why people do it at all. Almost all of it tastes like shit, and the portion of alcoholic beverages that don't taste like shit, taste like some else non-alcoholic. For example, my friend said he loved Coke and vodka because it tastes like lemon Coke. Why the fuck don't you just drink lemon Coke then!? Oh, well. I still have a few drinks on special occasions, but I don't understand the appeal.

I don't see the point. I can understand people wanting to turn to drugs and alcohol because they want to escape from the world and it's problems but in the end you are just ignoring them for a while before they all come back to haunt you. Personally, I believe that to be a sign of weakness.

I'd rather deal with my problems and not run away from reality. Life has been very hard (though it could be said there is no such thing as an easy life) but my family and I are happy-go-lucky and we will make the most of what we have.

Besides, drugs won't do my body any good in the long run and I like my exercise.

 

[Wintermoot]

its expensive

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

hm, my first post on here is about something which I have been attempting to get away from for 3 years lol.

I had my time with drugs, enjoyed it immensely at the time but it was at the expense of my school and college grades. Having smoked weed nearly everyday from the age of 15-18 I can honestly say that people who claim that cannabis isn't addictive is completely delusional. Everyone I know who smoked with me, became dependant on the stuff... I was lucky to find it quite easy to stop as I focused my mind on other things. My friends have not been so lucky and are continuing to do nothing with their lives...

Drugs, like anything, can be good in moderation.... you just need to know when to call it a day.

 

[Julianking93]

Because I don't want to. I've seen what it does to some people and I don't want to end up like that. Though, my other motives are far simpler;

I don't drink because I hate the taste, I don't smoke because I'm allergic and it smells awful and I don't do drugs because I don't want to feel strung out. I get enough of that feeling naturally.

Besides, most people I know just do drugs to be popular and that...well that's just fucking ridiculous.

 

[Neonbob]

Huh. Well, then I suppose my antisocial tendencies keep me from having to bother with that too much XD
The one person I do hang out with a bunch is my girlfriend, and I'd like to have a clear head while I'm around her.

I don't know you well enough to make the presumption that you're one of "those" guys so I'll just say

"It's not for everyone"

Still you might aswell try it. Why live your life not trying things?

..."those" guys? I'm a bit lost there.

And one day, I'll be happy to try it. But when I'm around her, I'm a bit worried that I may be a bit...violent if I get drunk, and I do not want her around if that is the case. I figure I'll be around family, people who know when to get out of the way.

And for the last point: because I'm a very close-minded person

 

[Ldude893]

Because I rather not sacrifice my life for some cheap pleasure that could kill you as easily.

 

[Dango]

I have other things to spend my money on and enjoy.

 

[The Last Nomad]

Why don't I do drugs... Because they are bad.

And That is my opinion... And my opinion is that some drugs are bad. I do lots of drugs but there are some I would never do because I am of the opinion that they are bad.

So the reason that I don't do (Certain) drugs is that in my opinion, they are bad.
And I think that is the reason for everyones stigma towards drugs. Their opinion.
And as much as you want to try, it is almost impossible to change someones opinion over the internet.

 

[Kimdeal]

At the moment i stay away from drugs because I've spent 17.5 years building a relationship of trust and respect with my parents, and i dont want to break that. . . .again. . . .yet. . . .

When i leave home, ill be at a uni housing where i have to submit to random drug tests (and i'm pretty sure I will get "randomly" selected). After that, i might try a few things. When i can afford it.

 

[nick n stuff]

tried weed and it hurt when it hit the back of my throat...didn't much fancy it after that.
