respect all your views, just figured i'd throw in my 2 cents bout drugs,
to me, it varies drug to drug... at one point in my life, i did everythin i could get my hands, tried painkillers, x, coke, meth, all of it. ...whatever was clever at the time... through that haze of a drug binged addiction, i learned alot to say the least... basically what it comes down to for me, my own personal belief is the old 'if it comes from the ground, its probably alright' and been holding true to that for a couple years now.
My biggest problem is with prescription drugs (pain killers) and how they are pretty much made to get hooked... they dont really cure anything, just more or less, temporary relief which is why its so easy to get hooked... the real bitch about it thou, is after you've used these drugs for awhile, and you try going a day without em, the physical pain about 2x worse than it was to start with... and idk, not just pain killers, its really every prescription ive looked into... alot of them are kinda a joke really, like if i get meds for asthma, i sure as hell dont want the side effect to be shortness of breath.... or if i get meds for depression, i really dont want the side effects to be suicidal thoughts.... but turns out, its exactly that. and its sad to see people who have to take 3-4 different kind of pills each day to counter the sides effects for each other... when there are natural medicines thats been here for centuries that cure what you need, with NO side effects.... too bad the pharmaceutic companies cant patent natural cures, meaning, no $$$$ in their pocket.
And as far as hallucinogens, im not at all against (minus ecstasy, shit rots your brain in no time, but i dont consider x anythin like trippin), i tend to agree that it opens a different way of thinking, that you normally wouldnt of thought of before the cid or booms... and it sticks with you even after you sober up.... its like, opening doors that can never be closed again.... and i honestly dont know where i stand on acid, from my research its a safe drug, its just, its man made, and anything man made leaves room for error, especially on the black market. but i dont see a problem with tripping out in the woods once or twice a year... but now if your trippin each month, week or day, you might want to ask yourself 'why do i see it necessary to lose my face so often?'lol.
i dont even drink alcohol anymore, a glass of wine might be good for you, but i was never one to stick with one drink... i get a outta control, throw up and feel like shit the next day...and alcohol consumption isnt good for me, ... which is weird, because my family tree was watered with alcohol. but ya, think im against alcohol cuz ive seen it ruin my best friends life/ health and also has been a road to no-where for some of my family.
i do support recreational (and medical) marijuana use, only because it is the safest drug in history, the side effects are hungry, happy and sleepy (credit to kat williams for that)... doesnt mean its for everybody, but for those who like to stay in control of their actions and still not be sober for a minute, for me, its the ticket.
and this is where ill sound hypocritical, its ok, i realize and accept it... I would never recommend tobacco use to anybody, seriously the most addicting drug ive ever done, and im still addicted to Tobacco today sad enough.... hate that my body sends cravings that make me think i 'need' it... ive quit before, for months... but then theres always that one day that comes along thats like eff it... and think ive accepted ill be a smoker till i die... but it does make me wonder how addicting is straight unprocessed tobacco is, with out all the FDA approved additives....
the best drug thou, that i do recommend to everybody, is chocolate milk, been hooked for like 23 years! I practically piss Hershey chocolate.
edit: figured i should say half way on topic, i love folfing, especially here, folf course on a freaken mountain, doesnt get any better, love animals, especially my cat... he tried to play on the computer, eats keys from keyboards, tries to interact with video games, especially the wii... watches tv and attacks the tv most days and he is soo curious about most technology, including the toilet....umm, what else, like hiking, swimming, sittin in some hot springs and bowling... about sums me up.
