Who does drugs? (Page 2)

Sorry, I was giving you tranquilizers but you just ran off!

i need a closet or a a bathroom or a car. dammt wanna get stoned beyond my dreams and i cant wait till march when ill be legal to drink.

drinking so much easier.

Well someones gotta make sure there's none left for the kids.

I have a very strict policy when it come to drugs.

"Never take anything else that ends with ack. Things like smack or crack."

This policy tends to keep me out of rehab.

Mind you where I come from it's not a criminal offence to smoke weed.

Welcome back BJ. Long time haven't seen ya here around. Hows going?

I'm well thankyou Haffo. I often browse around the pages looking for topics on drugs and the like.

Should have known I'd find you here Haffo lol

That was funny yeah, lol.

"Well someones gotta make sure there's none left for the kids."

My new policy. 🙂

"I think doing drugs is a constitutional right. It states that we all have the right to pursue happiness. Some people use drugs to try & achieve happiness,right or rong,it's right there in our constitution. "

So, do you do drugs, Dreamyfish?
Is that why you call yourself "Dreamy"? Just curious LOL!

I've never done an illegal drug...didn't even try...and not for any paticular reason, I was just never interested (even though it was always in my face, growing up, and still is a little, today)

That's an interesting question, though, Bran. It seems like today, at least here in DC, everyone and there mama partakes in some weed smokin, and their not pot heads. It's an actual "thing" to do nowadays, to the point where it can no longer be taken seriously or personally. It is an activity that is typical to engage in. The excuses I've heard for its acceptance include:

1) it's pure and better for you than cigarettes.
2) It's natural and from the earth...so it's not harmful, but healing.
3) It is stimulating in the sense that it allows you to use certain parts of your brain that has never been used.

Now, I personally believe that that is all a load of crap, based on my own stereotype...however, I can't help but grow to accept it, and those who do it.

Hey TG...while your there, grab that sprite that was in the background of the picture...my throat's kinda dry!

Lizzie...I'm surprised at your curiosity towards MJ's tits!

Branh you are for want of a better word amazing....what size is your foot? Not those two I'm talking about the one perpetually in your mouth.I find you an interesting contrast and sometimes much to my dismay I even agree with your logical points,very,very rarely though i don't feel this is necessary to point out but I am Black,Afro American or whatever our label is right now what is YOUR interepratation of black market, you do mean underground capitalism,.....right?

I in hindsight after much reflection and a life time of shall we say mitigating experiences agree with Aprilbaby sex is a better drug,orgasms God gave us the ability to have are off the fo sheeezie.

Truthseeker, I already drank it, opps! 😢

We were just being stupid as a joke keef and yeah knew he meant underground illegal sales,etc. with that also branh's black too.

He's posted that on a couple topics yeah.You see,people generally aren't that offended by things that they are supposed to be offended by when it comes to races so if I remember correctly it was a couple of those incidents where he was assumed to be white or something because of his POV's.Im called a savage by alot of my friends,then turn around and call my arab friend a camel jockey,if its really intended as an insult is the only time it really matters for most people of color.

Drugs? Who me? Never !!!!!!

Actually, if it's used properly, I don't see a problem with it. A long day at work, stuck in gridlock for hours - if a glass of wine can make you relax and feel sane again, then I don't see an issue. Quality of life is very important and if someone needs help to relax and make their life better, then drug use is alright.

However, I'm not talking about crack-heads. If a person uses a drug to escape from responsibility and accountability - then, the drug is the root to their problems.

Recreational use only. Of course, I say this as I puff away on my cigg, which brings no quality to my life. Hypocrite !!!!

2 sharks swimming in opposite directions:
I don't want to bore you guys with this again I have to say I made be a little older than most of you. I have had a drug problem. I was an athlete in high school.I'm an army veteran I lived in europe for 3 yrs.We were encouraged by our superiors to drink. Well you know we were young men if you encourage us to drink we're going to take it a little further. I carried it with me all thru my young adult life in some form another. I've always liked marijuana,I feel that there's more benefits than harm,never considered it a drug. I think I would've been o'kay had I just stopped at marijuana and wine (I never much cared for beer ,even living in Germany). But I'm an explorer,I'm curious,I'm a Piscean. I like going outside of myself opening up doors maybe I should've left closed. I experimented,I was fearless,I got caught up. Everything short of sticking a needle in my arms.I live on the east coast now. I'm older I have no use or interest in drugs I work in an industry that would endanger others if I did drugs. I still feel that marijuana isn't bad but I understand the kids are dipping it in shit now (it helps MS,glaucoma,and cancer patients to cope)I wish I could get back some of the time I spent F'd up. My big to moderate size city here on the east coast has a hell of a drug problem,it tears people down,it tears the community down,it tears families down. Drugs are selfish and jealous there can be nothing else but the drug. Addiction is a disease,it's an insatiable beast. You can never get enough. Don't enslave yourselves.I have no problem with people who experiment you have to find out for yourself. Don't make it a way of life,life is beautiful by itself.

Wow Keef - that's a very inspiring story. Now if we could all be so strong, as to learn from our mistakes and overcome, we'd have a better world. I really admire your determination to break something that overpowered you, and, the ability to reflect on this in a possitive manner so you can apply it to your life today.

I use a lot of drugs, caffiene, nicotene, thc, to name a few and I wish I had the strength to overcome. Especially being a Pisces, weakness and the ability to give up easily comes natural. I do feel, though, with the thc, that the time frame in which I started to use was very influential. 'Back Then' we didn't have people who tried to tell us that it was ok to just say 'no'. Heck, it wasn't until the act in 1970, that the use was made illegal. One could order from a Sears catalouge, Opium, if that was the desire. I'm not making excuses and saying that it was society's fault. I'm just saying that if we had the encouragement that kids have today, then it would have been a lot different - we might not have been so accepting of the drug.

Yes P-Angel we come from the Turn On,TuneIn,Turn Out generation getting high was mind expanding or so we thought. We didn't know the harm this attitude would cause to us and our children and grandchildren later on.

I do agree with Branh, what he said on another thread on this topic - the legalization of Marijuana would be the salvation of our economy (not his words exactly). I can't for the life of me understand why alcohol is legal and weed isn't. Never in my life have I heard of someone getting in a bar fight, driving like a maniac, and not being able to maintain theirselves while stoned.

What was it I heard one time, the explanation of being drunk? Something like: you know your drunk when you have to grasp the ground to keep from falling from the earth.

I've never known, seen someone, or felt that way being high. The complete opposite, actually. The tax money that would result from the legalization would wipe out our deficiet completely - I've no doubts about that. Yet, alcohol is legal. How many people die each year from drunk driving? Drive on weed and you'll have both hands on the wheel, check an intersection 25 times before daring to cross and your car won't exceed 40 miles per hour. There is no physical addiction (of course, there probably would be if it was made legal because the same drug would be put in it that is in cigarettes with the intent of addicting us).

The only problem I can see is the consequences to the lungs, resin is thicker and more dangerous than nicotene, and the anxiety that befalls people after prolonged use. If those could be addressed and the risk lowered, then I don't see a problem. I do however, see a huge problem in people inebriating theirselves to oblivion with booze.

Ditto, antibling I was one of those who thought weed completley harmless. It's addictive I don't know maybe this is a new more potent type of weed than I grew up on we used to buy nickle and dime bags and you were really the shit if in high school you had a 1/2 ounce. My little nephews and cousins smoke blunt after blunt after blunt I ask them are you still getting high off that shit or are you just doing it to be doing it. They're so lethargic and blunted out man there's no motivation my aunts pissed, all they want to do sit around and play play station all day. I used to smoke weed and function man albeit slowly. And my lil cuz is coughing up this brown shit, it's from smoking that cigar paper we never did that. Guess I am getting old.

I smoked hash and weed in Amsterdam in the mid 70's I understand they have weed bars over there now where you can order different types of weed like in a cafe and sit and havew a smoke. According to High Times magazine artcles a magazine I used to frequent they detest dipped marijuana over there and even as liberal as their drug laws are you can get into some shit if they find that you're selling dipped shit. Marijuana should be smoked natural just the way god made it. I don't smoke anymore but if I did I'd certainly be cautious of where I was buying the shit and who was selling it.

I get a chuckle every time I see the commercial where the girl is melting into the couch, as her friend says this is all she wants to do ever since she started smoking pot. My son gets angry at me because he thinks that it's an outrage that weed smoking would be portrayed that way (he's one of those blunt, after blunt). I think it's funny as can be because that is exactly how it is.

You're just part of the couch, motivationless.

Certain people have addictive personalites. I see some of my friends get stuck and feel sad. Through the years I have experiemented and partied HARD. I even had, well lets just say I stopped breathing and pumping once, and am soooo happy to be here. However, that was then, and I have grown and will do drugs I am confortable with the odd time. But mostly I come home, and have 1 or 2 glasses of wine and relax. I don't feel guilt if I want to escape the odd time, and if people are going to give me $ hit for that then they are only putting distance between us. Now if I am being dangerous to myself, like I was in the past, well then they are being a friend.

I can understand the issues, because you never know if casual will turn into addiction, and when it does, it's sometimes impossible to save them then, sometimes too late. Hell, would I want my kids doing drugs?!! NO. But I live in my world and I do what I feel like doing. Am I a good person? Is everything I do right? No. But who is and who even wants to be? Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes, and see what we do to the people we love.

"Lizzie...I'm surprised at your curiosity towards MJ's tits!"

well, i find tits more exiting than drugs. tits = drugs— hmmm........

ups, sorry - breasts!

you're not a bad person just because not everything you do is right. but yeah, i'd prefer my daughter not to do drugs, too... you really have to differentiate. i mean too much water could damage you just the same. i only recently found out! so there we go, it's a general attitude towards life. not to go to extremes with anything. it's stability in relationships(family and friends), common sense, a healthy confidence, and useful information - that's what kids need to keep them from drugs. my opinion...
