I consider harming yourself to be irresponsible. I don't care if you can control the damage done by drugs, it's still there. Just like I consider smoking cigarette and drinking a lot of alcohol to be irresponsible. Also

Well yeah, cigarettes and alcohol are harmful to you so yes some people may think of them as irresponsible. Psilocybin mushrooms and acid are not harmful though, so therefore they are not irresponsible? Using that logic, that seems to be true but I know that developing a dependency on any substance is harmful. All substances can be harmful but just about all substances can be used responsibly.

ie:

I've cut back on my soda consumption a LOT since I started college because caffeine is addictive and soda is harmful to my body. I like my body, so I don't drink much soda.


Mister, that sounds like a tough situation. I'm sorry you all had to go through that, and that is indeed an example of irresponsible drug use. It is stories like these that keep me level-headed and one step ahead, I try to never put myself in a situation where bad results could occur. Maybe I'm not a risk-taker and maybe you need to be in this world, but irresponsible drug use is a risk I'm never going to take.

*EDIT*

Forgot to say this in the last few replies, but one small piece of Dan's story seemed like it needed to be repeated:

I also have done a LOT of research on any substance I've done before trying it. I like to know what I'm getting myself into and that level of comfort definitely makes the experience much much better.

Responsible drug use exists, Killa. I can't prove it to you, but I'm sure you could show me plenty of examples that show otherwise. MDMA helped one of my best friends come out of the closet to me and the third guy in our group of BFFs and I am so happy for him to have finally had the comfort in his own body and mind to tell us he was gay. And on his uttering of those two little words I had the most euphoric rush I've ever felt, knowing that he trusts me enough as a friend to tell me the one thing he's held to himself all his life. We had a long conversation about sexuality and interests and while I would normally feel uncomfortable, that is not possible while rolling with friends.

On mushrooms I saw that I am not a shitty person, I'm actually a really fucking great person. I LOVE myself. I used to cut myself, I used to starve myself, I purposely failed Spanish last year for pity and attention. No more, I'm gonna be fucking great. I'm gonna be happy. And I am

On acid I realized that I respect my father. He's been through a lot, his life isn't all that great or exciting, but he deserves my respect.

Basically drugs have helped me to grow up and mature really quickly. I'm not an whining bitch anymore

Oh and tobacco's a hell of a buzz for me still cuz I use it so rarely. I've only been drunk three times in my life and try to avoid alcohol more so than the less dangerous drugs like acid or mushrooms.

Weed is a fun time in the right situation, but I've only smoked once since Super Bowl Sunday after it being a daily habit for over a year. My marijuana dependence (NOT addiction) has faded and I'm very happy about that.

Post pictures of your router and your sister and hopefully we can help work this out.

D'awww happy valentine's day, love.

You still see John? Get his goofy-lookin' ass on AA. I don't remember his brother's name but he was pretty cool too. I think he had a brother at least, that was a loooong time ago.
