Why do you do drugs? 2013-03-20 22:47:28


I honestly want to know. Sell me on drugs, any kind of drugs, like pot and LSD and all that good shit. What does it do for you? Why do you do it? Does the price of doing it justify the effects? How often do you do it (habitually, occasionally or rarely)? and, Is it just a form of temporary escapism or simply the desire to artificially feel the sensation of happiness or calm?

I've never felt the desire to do drugs, my life isn't so bad I need an escape mechanism nor do I wish to have my emotions manipulated artificially, I enjoy being fully sober and in control under my own power. There's nothing in it that appeals to me as far as I know, then again I've never tried any drug so I wouldn't know at all. Which is why I'm curious, if you do drugs, why do you do drugs? What does it offer you that is better than sobriety (if habitual) and if done occasionally, to what extent do these effects prove superior to say, drunkenness?

I've never had anything besides alcohol, and I'm staying away because I don't think I have the self control to stop taking more, and I definitely can't afford any of it.

I don't. I should probably be on some kind of anti depressant, but that requires giving a shit.

I started doing drugs because I was initially genuinely interested in what it was like to smoke cannabis. Eventually, I developed my habit of smoking it in order to relieve boredom. This was also my gateway to doing other drugs. Psychedelics are amazing; they have always been able to provide me with a new perspective or understanding of my life, the world I live in and my role in it. Pills are fun and can also be helpful: xanax relaxes me and alleviates anxiety, while painkillers are just plain euphoric and awesome.

You probably shouldn't be on some kind of anti depressant, because then you'd REALLY be depressed.

I don't do drugs, occasionally some wine but that's all.

If you can be responsible and do it without forming a habit, then it's fine, depending on what drug. There are some that I don't think you should ever try even once, some that you should only do very rarely, and some that are okay to do on a somewhat regular basis, but within reason. That's just my opinion. For example, I don't think you should ever go near crack or heroin.

There's nothing in it that appeals to me as far as I know

That's fine. Drugs aren't for everybody. If you're not interested, you're not interested.

Which is why I'm curious, if you do drugs, why do you do drugs?

because it's enjoyable. I don't know what else to tell you.

What does it offer you that is better than sobriety

I wouldn't say it's better or worse than sobriety. It's just a pleasurable activity.

to what extent do these effects prove superior to say, drunkenness?

Alcohol is physically addictive and far more dangerous than cannabis. And cannabis is even safer if you vaporize it.

I haven't smoked pot in several months, but I've enjoyed many times. It occasionally makes me paranoid, but only because it's illegal. If recreation marijuana were legalized, I'd probably be more at ease when smoking or vaporizing it. And I'd like to try psilocybin at some point as long as I can have a trustworthy person keep an eye on me while they stay sober. And I've thought about dextromethorphan, but I'm not sure about it. Other than that, I don't think there's anything I'd be comfortable trying, but I don't judge.

Very smart of you to stay away from pills. I used to have a very serious addiction and am only just now getting over it during my senior year of college. I have friends that been to jail, friends that have been to rehab, and friends that have died because of certain pills. Though I have never been to rehab or locked up behind bars, I have stared death in the face; and I have experienced physical and mental addiction in full force. All in all, it's up to you whether or not a product will run your life, though. I commend you for sticking to pot, something I wish my friends and I had done while we were teenagers.

I do drugs on occasion to have fun. I know I don't need it nore do I crave it. But I do use it with friends that also use drugs. Almost all the time it's pot and I do it usually once a week or two.

Don't bitch about drugs, drugs aren't good for you but they are also not bad for you. Most people who do drugs are not the addicts that people who don't use drugs depict drug users as being. Drug bashers and drug fanboys are stupid, people of the middle ground are the ones who are right.

How would you know? You 'don't befriend drug users,' so, clearly, you don't shit about them. You're twenty four, but you're seemingly as naive as a fourteen year old.

I think it's unlikely that you're smarter than the likes of Sigmund Freud, Timothy Leary, Carl Sagan, or Steve Jobs. I'm pretty sure Einstein did drugs as well. I'm not even entirely convinced that you're any smarter than William S Burroughs, Hunter S Thompson or Bill Hicks.

I'm not saying people who do drugs are smart, but it doesn't mean they're stupid, either. Earfetish seems like a pretty smart fella. The point is, you're not better or smarter than anyone for not doing drugs. And your judgmental attitude suggests ignorance.

I guess all you can do is wait and watch as they slowly lose their lives unless one of them realises that heroin is some really bad shit. To go from weed to heroin in only 2 years is a sign of massive retardation.

It's a anthropomorphic animal.

He doesn't understand that furry is not beastiality.
I think I'm more open minded than the average person, but can you please explain how it is not bestiality? Who are you guys trying to fool here?

beastiality
(Adult / Slang)
Or: bestiality :
1. Sexual relations between a person and an animal, including intercourse, masturbation, cunnilingus, frottage (rubbing), anal penetration, or having ones genitals licked by an animal.

How does this definition apply to furry?

I've done a ton of different drugs, so I'll only list a few. I smoke weed everyday because it relaxes me and helps me focus. Mushrooms feel better than anything you could ever imagine. Seriously, you'll never laugh as hard in your life. DXM is a unique experience if you're feeling adventurous. A third plat dose is where you really enter space. You feel yourself leave your body, and forget everything you knew about reality. Everything no longer makes sense. It's a mind-shattering journey, be prepared. Snorting Adderall is fun, too. Blow 60mg and be spun out of your mind for an hour. The rush is intense. Alternatively, you can pop for weaker, but longer effects, but I find oral has more side effects.

It does for people what religion does for you.

What cynical and entirely close minded viewpoint on religion. Religion is not a substance that can physically alter a mood or something that can be addicted to or physically depended upon. Above all, it is entirely off topic and nothing but another cheap shot directed at me in a sad attempt to paint me as a slave to religion, which I'm sure in your parochial mind, is exactly what you believe me to be. You really need to pull your act together, as is, you prove to be a very poor user that simply can't play well with others. You do understand what a community is, yes?
