Drugs

Outside of alcohol, I haven't noticed much attention allowed to drugs on the CHUD boards. Although cigarettes are...well, the least said of cigarettes the better. It seems the left lacks a libertarian streak in them (though granted you aren't all lefties).

[That's a personal libertarian streak, not political]
[Personal as in what you believe yourself and other people should be able to do to themselves]
[The left and right are both pro-big gov't]

Salvia is a good hallucinogen. It boggles my mind that it's legal here (in Canada). I'd feel uncomfortable brandishing a container of it in front of a cop. Now, granted, it is very short-lived, but perfect for curing boredom when you've got something to do in an hour or two. Feels like an exact cross between being drunk or stoned, without nausea.

I am traveling to Amsterdam soon and well...space cake beckons.

Never did any. Don't plan on to. And anyone who one does meth gets written off.

Dude, there's an entire HUGE thread devoted to pot.

I'm pretty 'meh' when it comes to Salvia. It's fun to do every now and then, but once it wears off (3 minutes later), I don't want to do it again.

Well, uh, this thread is more broad in scope, though I did somehow miss that pot one..

I don't feel regular till about an hour later - though its effects are much dimmer after those few minutes. But I do like the idea of a compact trip when you don't have twelve hours to spare on shrooms or LSD.

As for salvia, I've done it a few times but it's really nothing to write home about. Tripping balls for 4 minutes is fun in a way, but kind of pointless too. I just stick to the weed.

As for other drugs, I try not to do any "mind altering substances" more than twice a year. But I enjoy shrooms, ecstacy, and acid. Just not something anyone should do on a regular basis. And I stay away from other drugs.

I don't think I've heard of anyone use acid and mushrooms on a regular basis. People of the 1960s are of course excused...

I've definitely seen it.

Motherfuckers are also apparently doing a ton of meth-fueled sleep deprivation hallucination experiments these days. This is an annoying development because meth makes people even more irritating than cocaine, and the sleep deprivation (and meth) makes them cranky as shit. When's the big PCP comeback jumping off? Will crack make a comeback?

Also, cheese is poised to explode out of Texas like George W. Bush to fuck the country up.

I've seen this a lot, actually.
I've witnessed acid take it's toll on a few people. My good friend's acquaintance and his younger brother can barely function now. It's kind of scary, the younger one even has problems doing simple things like navigating stairs, all from acid. He wigged out for no reason one time years ago and beat the shit out of his mother.
I love shrooms(1 bad trip out of over 10, and that was only due to a super large crowd), but thanks to those brothers(among other issues), I have no intention of ever doing acid.

And reggie-wanker, crack never went anywhere.

No drug ever really goes completely away - but I certainly remember times when there were a whole lot more people around obviously smoking crack.

Devin started a thread a few years back that was dozens of pages long. Plenty of people talked about their drugs of choice. Also, Robo-trippin!

I had one summer where I tripped a couple of times every week. Hell, one week I tripped four times, but I had to increase my dosage each time to compensate for decreased sensitivity; I took twelve hits of LSD for my final trip that week.

I'm kinda with EdHocken regarding the drugs. I've got plenty of friends that have done various things from opium to acid. While it's fun to fuck with them while they are on that stuff, I don't care for it much. I'm already pretty fucked up and paranoid in the head as is.

I don't trust anyone who's never tried drugs. People who think its all or nothing pretty much have that attitude towards everything in life. In general, I find those folks close-minded, uncreative, and boring to be around. Now if you tried drugs (even just a hit or two of pot) and decided its not for you, fine. At least you are open to trying new things. That is always a good quality to have.

Well that'd be me then, I've never anything stronger than alcohol and never intend to. Largely because my extended periods of time spent with stoners made me realise how boring pot makes people and I've seen all manner of nastiness happen to people who've tried harder stuff.

E could work. You'd be talking to your friends all the time about how cool everything is. Sometimes there'd be something lame but then you'd go "aaww it's okay cuz he did something cool a little earlier".

Staying away from the harder stuff is just common sense but I don't quite understand that line of thinking in regards to weed. Stoners are dull and boring but anyone who abuses a substance instead of responsively using it recreationally is going to suck. Getting drunk is way fun but do it every night and the fun kinda gets sucked out. People that permanently have a bong within arms reach are boring but there is nothing wrong with having a session before sitting down to watch Pans Labyrinth.

This stuff has all been behind me since college, and I was never very hardcore. Pot maybe a dozen times or so, which never seemed to do much of anything to me, and acid once with my two roommates at the time. That experience was great for me, but one of the two other guys had a really bad trip.

I won't do anything like that again until my kids are grown and out of the house, but I would like to try mushrooms someday, as the aforementioned roomates raved about shrooms with Bill Hicks-like fervor.

I only imagine Aliens while on E being a nightmare. Being on a drug where you want to touch and feel everything while watching a movie involving creatures dripping with goo that attack everything they see and bleed acid can only lead to disaster.

I once made the mistake of taking shrooms before watching the X-Files and it was the episode where body parts were falling off a guy. The rest of the night all I saw was me and my roommate's face melting off and I spent the rest of the night huddled in my room trying to pray the demons away.

I watched 2001 on mushrooms and immediately after got my fireplace going just to feel that I had successfully reached a higher level of evolution than my house mates who sat around watching the movie scratching each other like packs of poo-flinging simians.

There is of course the legality of the stuff to take into consideration, but you're missing out. You may have been hanging out with people who simply smoked too damn often. It does kind of make you a zombie after a while.

But let me tell you, there are few things more awesome than having a nice buzz, laying down and closing your eyes, and listening to a favorite album on nice headphones.

I don't smoke anymore, and I really miss it for moments like those.

*edit- and I'm not really sure weed is about "opening your mind" so much either. Food tastes better, you hear things in music you'd never normally pick up, and movies can play totally differently.

I'm not an avid drug user by any means, but it was never a taboo while I was growing up so it's no big deal to me. I don't really love pot, but it helps me sleep sometimes. I basically do everything that's bad for a person. I should stop.

Nah.

Wouldn't say that. Music, yes. Every little note in even the shittiest songs becomes fascinating.

But I tried getting baked and watching Ghost Rider a while back.

It didn't help.

Now, replace "most movies" with "most food" and you're onto something.

True true. I should have limited it to films you would enjoy regardless. It's kind of odd how seemingly well-done CGI sticks out like a sore thumb when you're stoned. At least for me it does.

Always loved that Cosby quote.

Few years ago when I started college, there were so many people who looked down on the people who smoked. About 99% of them, however, started most of their anecdotes with "OMG I WAS SO DRUNK LAST WEEKEND LOL".

I would honestly say shrooms made me a more confident person after facing an epic bad trip my first time using them.

I used to do pot all the time but I stopped about 12 years ago. It kept fucking putting me to sleep. I tried other things like acid and shrooms a few times but never really had any 'fun', so I never pursued them.

Rather than do drugs, I always hung out with those who DID the drugs and fucked with them. That was WAAAY more fun.

Where I'm from you were a weirdo if you didn't smoke pot. I remember when I was younger and turned it down the immediate reaction was always "Why?!".

Getting baked and watching Discovery Channel is one of my favorite things to do, especially after getting an HDTV.

As for coke, I've only done it a few times and every time I was drunk off my ass. I figure I'm already addicted to enough substances that require money that I can't afford a coke habit.

And yea, I live in a town where it seems like nearly everyone smokes weed, even the old folk. There's a guy with two kids across the street who comes over every Saturday for a bake session.

That's really annoying as hell when you're tripping, but more power to ya.

There were far too many times when I'd be enjoying a mild trip(maybe some trails, nothing crazy visual going on), and a friend would be hopping around me like a maniac thinking he was totally blowing my mind. With shrooms it's way more enjoyable to be with other people who are in the same state of mind. And good friends, that's a must.

The only drug I use now is Valium, so this thread is basically me reliving my "glory days", so to speak.

Oh heavens, I must flee this thread before I get called a square.

I also like the assertion that to appreciate films like Aliens you really need to be wasted. Way to lower the artistic merits of your favoured films guys.

Speaking of Hallucinogens we once had a girl at a party who spent most of the evening clung to the bannisters of our stairs railings, because she thought she was on the precipice of an abyss. So fucking funny.
