I've been offered cocaine, was comtemplating doing it, but I decided against it, more likely for the better.
I'm with Brian. I don't do **** like that because the positives don't outweigh the negatives. I don't wanna screw up my life and I know if my parents ever caught me on any type of drug, I'd be in some deep ****. It's just not worth it to me.
alcohol is STILL the best drug and the best way to "let off some steam" without completely screwing up your life (for MOST people). For a few people obviously it does interfere with their lives, but this is a tiny minority - probably less than 5%.
I used to get drunk a lot for 2 years, but then I stopped drinking for an entire year, now I only drink a beer or two or watered down wine occaisionally. I smoked weed once, but I don't think I did it right, because I felt nothing. Buckleys makes me want to vomit sometimes, is that a drug?
I used to smoke weed 2-3 times a day (among other things). It's something I look back on and regret, and to be honest, if I could go back in time, I never would've started. Nothing bad happened to me to change my mind, I just grew out of it one day and was able to realize what a waste of time/money it was for me. Not to mention the fact that everytime you light up (or have in your possession) some weed, you risk getting into trouble.
i've been offered, never have though cause i live above the influence, unless beer/vodka and all that stuff is considered a "drug" cause ive had all that good stuff lol but not that much just three four times

I'm not saying that I'm right, it's all just a matter of personal preference.

Especially agree about cigarettes, I don't understand why people smoke cigarettes at all. There's little benefit and the effects of it can be major over a long period and IIRC tobacco is one of the most addictive drugs there is. I'll have a cigar or clove every once in a while when I'm offered but other than that there isn't much point. I also think its stupid how some people are heavily anti-drug/marijuana/smoking/etc yet still drink alcohol. I've got no facts to back this up but in general I'd say alcohol is more likely to get you in trouble and impair your judgment than marijuana. Weed calms you down, doesn't make you violent like alcohol does to alot of people, it even helps some people drive which is quite the opposite of the effects of alcohol.

It really gives me a decent body high, not like heroin or anything, but they'll really make you feel better. I really only smoke when I'm coked up though. Otherwise, I just don't get the craving.
<div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">If it's something that you enjoy and makes you feel good, why is that a waste of time and money? </div> Because eventually, you'll get addicted, and the "feel good" sensation will diminish. The heavier the drug, the better feeling, the bigger chanse of getting addicted, the more money it costs. One day you'll be wasting so much money on your drugs that you have to do things that you really wouldn't want to do to get money. I've had a couple of friends like that, and both of them ended up at places you don't want to be in. There is more to life than getting high on drugs.

"Heavy" itself is a bullshit term. Heroin, for example, is one that's often tagged with that term. It will give you an amazing, feel-good, euphoric high, but it's not half as addictive as a party drug like coke. Do you drink? Do you smoke at all? Do you even have sex? If so, would it be fair of me to say to you, "There is more to life than (insert habit)."? "One day you'll be wasting so much money on drugs that you have to do things that you really wouldn't want to do to get money." --- Where the hell are you getting this bullshit from? You sound like a 1950's government propoganda film. Look, I've been addicted before, and I've never had to "do things I wouldn't want to do to get money," even when I wasn't growing my own. Don't make such off-the-wall generalizations. I said it earlier in this thread, and I stick by it, what I've come to find as smart is being able to trip out. That's using more parts of your brain, that's your subconscious at work, that's lining up thoughts and doing really intense things to your whole existence here and in all your other lives that are going on simultaneously. That's what smart is, not just memorizing. Anyone can do that.
Hey, you can do whatever you wan't, I don't care. I was just expressing what I think, like you did. All the risks with addictions, OD's and needle injections are just not worth it for me. Pulling a Whitney is not something I strive for.
What's everyone's opinion on legalizing marijuana? Are you against it, for it, or don't care? I myself still smoke weed somtimes, so I definitely wouldn't mind having weed on me without having to worry about Popo's.
I'm not a fan of weed personally. But I do drink, and have delved into some other drugs. I don't think that most drugs are nearly as bad as people make them out to be, but I also think that addiction can bring you down. Really addictive drugs like coke, heroin, meth, etc. shouldn't be messed with...although I agree with Voodoo that with one life to live, who's to say what we should do with the short time we have on this earth? But overall drugs are bad for your body, there's no denying that. It's just a personal opinion on whether or not you want to explore different things and feel different things in your life. If you're more concerned with enjoying life no matter what, then you're most likely to do drugs. If you're more concerned with morals and living the prototypical life, then you're more likely to not. I'm not saying one way is better than the other, but I personally think that my expirimenting was useful yet hazardous.
<div class="quote_poster">Umair15 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">All yall that actually tried drugs are some dumbazses. Why try that mess when you know it is going to **** up your life? Why even try that crap? Waste of life. You know the effects of it, and you know its addictive, why even try, when you know what might happen. You see things like "Dont do drugs" and stuff everywhere. Also why smoke? This stuff messes up your life.</div> Just to clear up a few things, and once again I am not advocating drug use, people don't do drugs to "****" up their lives. They do it for an uplift in mood and to enjoy life more. Knowing the bad affects of drugs is common, everyone knows that they are bad for you... no one puts a grasp on the positives, and once again that is a personal decision which outweighs the other. Not all drugs are addictive. A lot are, but there are a large number of drugs that have not proven to be addictive. And, if you listen to the media on things like this, then you might as well not go to restaurants because second hand smoke will kill you. And yes, drugs can ruin someone's life, smoking cigarettes can shorten lives... but so can freak diseases like leukemia and things like car accidents. You see, it's really a personal thing... it's how you want to live your life. I don't think people can generalize and say "this isn't right, your life is ruined if you do this". It's not your place to decide what people want in life. Some people want to be successful and own a lot of things, some people want to be euphoric as long as they live. I'm somewhere in the middle.

Of course eating it or taking it another way could prevent the long terms issues that come with smoking. I'm not really on one side of the issue, it would be nice to be able to legally carry some bud like one would with alcohol but I can also understand that they'd want to keep it illegal because alcohol is already a problem in America and since so many people abuse that I wouldn't trust alot of others with another legal drug.
I have smoked weed like 10 times, but not anymore. I was very stoned one time and after that I don't want to smoke that sh*t anymore. It was just crazy.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> If it's something that you enjoy and makes you feel good, why is that a waste of time and money? </div> In my opinion, I think drug experimentation is a phase of life that *almost* every teenager/young adult goes through. Some people experiment later on (early 20's), some people start earlier, but most young adults tend to do it at one point or another. Some, but not all. Anyways, my point is that, the realization of "it's a waste of time and money" comes when you realize that you're dwelling on getting high or feeling a certain experience every single day, and in order to get it, you have to pay money for it. I think experimenting till you're in college or University is fine, but do you really want to be doing drugs and dwelling on feeling high when you're at a real job? I know people of high paying professions do do drugs at times, but is that really something you want to encourage to the generation coming up? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> You sure you did it right? lol Cigarretes (in general, not any brand in particular) are really underrated imo, especially for something that's legal </div> Yeah, I smoked it right lol. I honestly didn't get the big deal. Plus, after seeing 3 of my friends having the craving to smoke 3+ ciggarettes in the span of 2 hrs at a recent party ( hadn't seen them for a long time...and the last time I saw them, they used to smoke ciggs just once in a while) I've decided I won't go down that path. I'll drink ocassionally, yeah, but I doubt I'm going to do fall into drugs again. I'm only 17 and still have ways to go before I finish school completely, and I might smoke weed or whatever again in life, but that's it...I know where I need to draw the line for myself. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> What's everyone's opinion on legalizing marijuana?

And you're only 15...for all you know, in the next five years, your opinions could completely change. The world in itself doesn't always work the way that it's supposed to, and that's a reality you're going to have to accept. As for not defending the useage of drugs, I see why you're against drugs, but calling everyone who has experimented with drugs "dumbazzes" is pretty idiotic in itself.
