[Maridia]

Final add more to your post please okay? Just don't pull a one liner, for next time.

Oh my, I do enjoy my drinking. In fact, I was rather intoxicated Saturday night. If I recall, I came on here when I got home (still ridiculously drunk) and made a post or two.

Yeah, I didn't used to drink often at all but I became good friends with a girl who likes to party so well we tend to go out rather often. I mean I'm not like to the point of alcoholism or anything though. Probably about as much as your average college student.

Used to like my weed back in the day too. I smoked for the first time in like 3 years about a month ago. I got ridiculously high. But then I felt like crap for about half a week afterwards, so I've decided Mary Jane is not my lover anymore.

Oh but the booze.. good times with it. Cept for this one... yeesh... But yeah...

[Malahk Musashi]

I. Love. Marijuana.

I smoke at least once a week. When I'm stoned, nothing bothers me. I can handle anything thrown at me, and it makes Katamari Damacy that much more fun. Don't get me wrong, I don't use weed as a crutch, I smoke because I enjoy it. That's all.

As for drinking, I drink socially, not often to get drunk. When I do, Mario Kart ensues.

[Fishie]

I've been more drunk than high. Usually when I go to parties I like to have fun or when I'm with my friends we like to drink and do shots and all that. But when I'm drunk I get a crazy, not like psycho crazy, but party crazy. I mean I take it to the next level. as for getting high, I only tried it a few times. I tried ecstacy, weed, and marijuana before. I stopped cuz it really isn't a good feeling when you're going through it.

[Georg Prime]

I have to say that i've been drunk..high..well basically i've tried a good amount of drugs. Well let's see..ecstacy, opium, hash, marijuana, mushrooms, i've popped different pills, etc, etc. No i haven't tried crystal meth or smoked crack though. You gotta be smart about what you do.

The only two drugs i use on a regular basis are marijuana and alcohol. I'll be honest to say that i'm a complete tank when it comes to drinking but mostly i am a huge stoner. "Most likely to star in a half baked sequel" was supposed to be in the mock elections in my senior year book but my teachers didn't think it was appropriate. I've been a normal user of marijuana for about 3-4 years now.

And while i'm not here to encourage drug use, i think most people are extremely uninformed when it comes to marijuana. I understand that parents might want to protect their kids from drugs, and marijuana is often seen as the "gateway" to harder drugs. Marijuana is not illegal because of the bad effects it has on you. It's not an addictive drug, it's never killed anyone, and despite what you may believe, has no long term effects. Smoking cigarettes KILLS people and its legal, doesn't make much sense to me? I've smoked a few cigs in my time but i've never gotten addicted, and i've never felt the need to want to smoke cigarettes. And i've never gotten addicted to any hard drugs, people just have to be smart.

Then there are the commercials that show how smoking weed makes you lazy. Sure if you let it do it to you..there are such things as MOTIVATED stoners. Marijuana is like anything else..of course its unhealthy if you let it take over your life, thats why you have to be smart and use it in moderation accordingly. If you are a weak minded and unmotivated person marijuana could easily take over your life. OF COURSE ITS ILLEGAL though, so once again i'm not encouraging people to do anything illegal for i don't want to hear about people getting arrested. I guess i'm just lucky that i'm a normal looking middle class white kid, as bad as that may sound, cops are racist. My adventures escaping the law are stories themselves so i won't go on.

I'll be honest to say that i spent basically every day my junior and senior year in highschool completely stoned. I mean there was a point where i was smoking so much that i stopped getting stoned, my tolerance was so high at that point. I worked two part time jobs (which basically added up to over 40 hours a week) just to feed my drug habit. Not the smartest thing, but hell you live and you learn. I smoked before class, i smoked after a class if i had free period, i smoke when i got out of school. It didn't make me stupid, i might not have gotten straight As, but hell i got by with mostly Bs and As. Now that i'm more in the "real world" now, i'm busy with work/school so i find myself smoking a lot less. But honestly that doesn't bother me at all, i don't mind going days without smoking. I used to smoke several times a day and in HUGE amounts but now it's basically i unwind at the end of my day have a little smoke and relax. Ain't no harm in that, is there? Nothing like it after a long day of work or school. As Musa points out, it shouldn't be used for a crutch but hell, i LOVE getting high. It really can enhance normal things, like playing super smash bros, my friends and i get so high before we play, and in my opinion, i play better high.

Honestly, i think marijuana users are some of the most friendly, cool, and laidback people around. I wish everyone could have the same attitude as them. Using marijuana has really opened my eyes and helped me have a better outlook on things in life.

Not only that but my time with magic mushrooms really opened my mind. Suddenly i had this deep and profound understanding of life, and after my time with it i suddenly had a whole different outlook of what reality was. I learned through magic mushrooms that reality is not what see or feel, reality is in your mind, and without your mind, you are nothing. Honestly through drug use, i learned what a precious thing the mind was and it shouldn't be wasted, which is why i have never gotten into any hard drugs. I stopped eating mushrooms awhile ago though because i started having HORRIBLE and TERRIFYING trips, but that's another story in itself.

Here's what i'll say..be smart and make decisions for yourself. I was never peer pressured into anything, it was my personal decision to try marijuana. Obviously it's illegal though, but the reason it's illegal is politics (i could go more into the topic) and not because of it's affects. I've been somewhat of a depressed kid throughout my life, and at sometimes marijuana helped as an escape from reality. DON'T LET IT TAKE CONTROL OF YOU THOUGH. NOT ONLY WILL YOU NOT GET ANYWHERE BUT YOU'LL BURN A HOLE IN YOUR POCKET FROM ALL THE MONEY YOU SPEND

but hell if you can get by without ever trying marijuana..the more power to ya. You'll stay out of trouble that way atleast

As for drinking..i was once was a heavy drinker when i used to party a lot. One night i went thru a fifth of whiskey in addition to having 12 jello shots and beer bonging a deuce at a friend's pool party. After swmming completely intoxicated for awhile i was just like "WOAH..i need to chill out a bit." I thought for a second i was gonna die like a rockstar in that pool.

Now..i'm a VERY occasional drinker, mostly because i'm not of age. I like drinking though...but i rarely if ever get shitfaced like that anymore. I definitely like sipping on some wine..or a mixed drink even, better yet some baileys irish cream but i never go overboard.

MODERATION PEOPLE, MODERATION! THAT IS THE KEY

[Lethal Seraphim]

There was a thread awhile back in the Intellectual Discussions forum about Marijuana. We had a good debate there. Rather, some of us had a good debate while one dude got mad at everyone. But yeah, your post reminded me of that.

I'm scared to death to try mushrooms or acid or anything like that because I've heard so many horror stories about bad trips people have had. I knew a guy who had a bad acid trip once and then was never quite the same again. Scary stuff to me.

But I've no qualms with smoking up. I'd love to more often if the shit didn't make me weak-ass sick for 3 days afterwards.

[Georg Prime]

Yeah, it's weird, i know people who get sick from marijuana. I sometimes have a weak stomach myself, the first time i smoked i accidentially swallowed all the smoke and wow i puked. Here's a link to a blog from Luther's Blissett's myspace which talks about the facts behind marijuana if you are interested. It's pretty interesting stuff for sure. This might be against the rules to post here..if so i apologize. I'd rather not have young kids reading this stuff anywayz.

As for mushrooms..honestly just educate yourself on them. If you have a weak stomach, it might not be a good idea. Because essentially mushrooms are poison. And before your actual trip begins you will feel really sick because your immune system is trying to reject the poison. And that is why some people will throw up in great amounts after eating them. You have to be careful, usually people don't eat much the day of eating them because eating them on an empty stomach makes the trip more intense but sometimes when thats all you have in your stomach it makes you want to vomit. On the other hand, if you eat too much, especially rite before you eat them, not only will the trip be less intense but you have a good chance of not only puking up the mushrooms but everything else you ate that day too. *gross* I'd rather eat something like bread that settles your stomach a little. Honestly though, most people won't puke from mushrooms, though until you are start tripping you will really feel like you have to. I think i just have a bit of a weak stomach.

As for trips..the first time i tried mushrooms it was like the greatest experience of my life. Basically mushrooms are an EXTREMELY mood oriented drug. You have to be in a very good mood, surrounded by people you know and trust when you are eating them. If not you are going to become fearful, agitated, paranoid, etc. Basically whatever mood you are feeling, on mushrooms you feel that to the extreme. If you have any demons in the closet in the back of your mind, they will come out when you are on mushrooms. TRUST ME, i've had some horrible experiences on mushrooms, but on the other hand, i've had some great ones. It's all about your mindset. And just know..once you take mushrooms, there really is nothing you can do to stop the trip, even if you puke them up. Puking just makes the trip more intense. You won't even be able to sleep..i've tried when i had a bad trip and when i closed my eyes i saw demons. It was bad. I could go on and on about mushrooms..but i think you get the picture. I actually advise anyone who is remotely interested in mushrooms to try them atleast once, it truely is a one of a kind experience(be it good or bad). Mushrooms are definitely not something you should do often at all though..i had atleast 3-4 month periods between every time i tripped though i knew people who did it a few times a month and they said it completely messed with their head.

As for acid, i've never tried it. I've had a friend who has done it once. Basically acid is not a safe drug. Acid as we know it today is much different than the acid of the 60s. The kind of pure acid that was available in the 60s is gone luckily. that stuff could really mess you up. Now though, you more have to worry about what the acid is cut with, etc. Either way, i wouldn't advise trying acid especially if you don't want to try mushrooms for acid is much more intense. Not to mention holes in your brain and ACID FLASHBACKS. People can truely get messed up for life from acid.

Honestly i'd like a good debate on marijuana, or on drugs in general. I consider myself a connesiour of sorts on the subject.

http://erowid.org is a great source for anyone interested in drugs, its affects, ANYTHING REALLY. I always do my research on anything before trying it at that site.

And yea if i had nothing to do in my life, i'd smoke my ass of all the time. Probably what i'll do when i'm old and retired. Help with the arthritis

[Lethal Seraphim]

Lol... Awesome. Thanks for the info. The same aforementioned friend I do most of my drinking with did shrooms a few times, but she never talks about it much. I dunno if that's cuz it wasn't that great for her or what. She told me one time she thought there were bugs on her and like had pretty much mauled herself trying to scratch them off. But I dunno, she's not messed up or anything like that.

I used that erowid.org site for a research paper I did on marijuana. Good stuff, I tell you what.

Wow someone revived this topic from the dead....

Anyways, I've been high a few times before on various things. Many things I would not recommend. Specifically stay away from man made things like Extacy and Meth. Definately stay away from other hardcore drugs like Cocain, crack and Heroin. Man made pills and whatnot are always different because people like to add other things to them. You might have a good trip, you might have a bad, you might end up dead. heroin and Cocain are just bad news all together. Your body can have a really bad reaction the first time you use them or you can even get hooked pretty hard just after the first time. If you are going to do drugs stick to natural (Pot, Shrooms) But research what they do to you first.

Being Drunk is part of my routine over here in Germany. I get drunk at least every weekend and many times on week nights too. I was blessed enough to be a person who doesn't get hangovers the next morning, no matter how drunk I got. I do sometimes have a upset stomach the next morning but that's about it. Remember liquor before beer, your in the clear. Beer before liquor makes you sicker.

Man, I never used to get hangovers. Recently however, it has been deemed so by higher powers that I should receive them. I had a terrible one Sunday. It was... oh man.

I'm rarely a beer drinker unless I'm already drunk off liquor, so I guess I'm usually in the clear then? I don't really like the taste of beer too much so I don't drink it just to drink it. Then again I haven't had good beer though (I imagine you have though, over there in Germany).

[Georg Prime]

Yea i've had friends who have had similar experiences. It really depends on your tolerance whether or not you experience open eye visuals such as that. Some people even with a small amount can go into full visionary states. I've had more mild visual experiences though, like colors seeming off, things seeing distorted in size, shape, etc. differences in brightness/darkness. I had a friend who was tripping once and i decided to mess with him a bit and make these weird faces. I'd smile one second, then frown the next, etc. He told me that he thought i looked exactly like the AIM smileys..haha. Kinda like this and this

The more you take though..the more you experience. I've never really been able to take it large amounts due to my weak stomach though

I agree with you there..i keep it completely natural and do my research. I would NEVER mess around with cocain, crack, or heroin. I have tried ecstacy twice and had great times both times..but have tended to stay away from it Why? cause if you don't know your tolerance you can easily overdose on it. Each time i only took one hit, though i've known people who had 8 hits a day! talk about crazy...they are asking for a deathwish.

I'm glad somebody said it! I basically live by this rule, each time i have broken this rule i have gotten sick. For some reason i only get bad hangovers from beer..not from hard alcohol usually though. Unless i mix with pop, etc. The more sugar, the worse hangover, thats why diet pops are better for mixing.
