Let me say right up front that I do not currently use illicit drugs or abuse medications, nor do I condone those activities. However if you choose to participate in these activities I also will not look down on you. It truly is a matter of personal choice. The following is strictly my opinion based on experiences I have had in my life. If you are not prepared to read a blunt post with advice based my own life experiences, then stop here. It would be easier for me to list what drugs I haven't done than it would be to tell you the ones that I have. I enjoyed not only the high I got from them, but the actual use of them as well. Did they make me cool? No. Did I ever end up hospitalized as a result of them? No, however I do have a very close friend who has been in a mental institution for nearly 20 years due to taking way too much acid at once (12 hits of 4 way window pane, the equivalent of 48 hits of blotter acid). I also had a close friend killed in a deal that turned into a robbery, and two more close friends spending the rest of their lives in prison for murdering him. I had my very best friend committ suicide due to his addiction to methamphetamines. I ran around w/ a group of about 12 people, think about that, out of 12, 1 is in a mental institution for probably the rest of his life (might as well be dead), 2 are dead, and two are in prison for the rest of their rest of their lives (again might as well be dead) that's better than 40% who are dead or might as well be. True none of that happened to me personally, and I seem to be ok. My point is, know when you're not ok. If you find yourself lying about your drug use (even to your parents), you're not ok. If you find yourself lying, cheating, stealing, borrowing, or using money you need for other things, to get drugs you're not ok. If your friends tell you you're fucked up...it's because you are!!!!! If drugs stop being fun and start being work, you're not ok. If you start selling dope so you can do it for free, you're not ok. If at any point you wonder (no matter how briefly) if you might have a problem, YOU DO!!!! If you're gonna use dope, at least educate yourself about what you are putting into your body....it may save your life. Did I have fun when I was doin' dope? Hell yeah I had a friggin blast, but I also had some pretty shitty times. All I have to say is if your gonna use, be careful, there's a whole other world out there just waiting to swallow you up. [/quote] Thanks for your input.. but I don?t have one question (well two questions).. do you regret doing drugs? If you had a chance to go back would you stay away from them? :unsure:
