    Well for me it's like my whole body is getting a massage and I can focus oon anything. Thats why things are so funny when I'm high. You noticed the strangest little things all the time. That is what it's like for me anyway. Thats why I love seeing movies when I'm high.

    Lets not talk about the feeling guys, this thread is already borderline inappropriate and we can't go sharing experiences. Lets keep the discussion on moral issues and whatnot.

    I think you will find as you grow up, that just because YOU believe something is wrong, not everyone is going to feel the same way as you. 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.</div>

    Like i said, I was talking to those that have tried cocaine and marijuana when offered.

    No taking from strangers, neverever.

    I think that when the situation is perfect, summer, sun is shining. Homeboys around you, no chance of getting caught and good ganja - I would smoke that crap. But nah, I will never be a pothead.

    weed isnt even a drug. most other drugs are not also bad for you in moderation. the real danger in drugs is addiction and abuse. abusing drugs is actually the same thing as eating mcdonalds every day. both are very bad for you and can lead to an early death or health complications. however, much like eating junk food, if done in moderation, drugs can used recreationally without the danger of health complitations. there is a difference between "using" drugs and "abusing" drugs. also, like everything there are exceptions to this. e.i. getting a "bad drug" or "poison". those are the dangers of using MDMA or extecy. MDMA is the drug in extecy that gives the euphoric feeling. MDMA by itself is actually proven to not be harmful at all, but it is often mixed with other drugs or chemicals, such as cocaine, heroine, or mescaline. MDMA was actually legal, and was invented by a priest, until about 1988. there was a dateline special on it with peter jennings a couple years ago that i think everyone who even has the slightest interest in learning about drugs should see. also, people have the misconception that people who choose to use drugs are bad people. what someone does, doesn't determine the quality of their characer. thats not to say that bad people dont do drugs, but not all people who do drugs are bad people.

    wow, I guess one of the few people who has never used anything. But yeah, a lot of people I know use it.

    However, my opinion is that anything that affects the brain and introduces any kind of foreigns chemicals into your body can't possibly be healthy. Unless it's something like a vaccine, or essential medicine.

    heres the link to the special. its actually on 2020. everyone who has an interest in learning about drugs should watch it.</div>

    That was very interesting, I totally agree with them about the government telling us BS statements about drugs. They're just shooting themselves in the foot because once people find out that the things they say aren't true the people just stop listening and keep continuing to do more and more drugs. Obviously it works on some people (i.e. Umaire, but I don't even know if that counts since hes still young) but every person I know who has done weed immediately realizes the stuff they learned in school was bull which makes them more open minded about trying acid, ecstasy, heroin, etc, etc.

    Too bad they'd never legitimately tell us the facts and let us make our own decision...

    I have access to those drugs, but stay away from it. Don't want to risk getting caught like a lot of my friends.

    On a side note, my brother chilled with Lamar Odom a few times and said he smoked mad weed.

    which NBA players have been proven to take drugs and which NBA players most likley than not take drugs? I've heard, more than once, that Lamar Odom is a pothead. That would probably explain his inconsistent behavior. Hasn't AI smoked pot before. I'm assuming most NBA players have tried it once in their life. But I wonder if they continue to use drugs even though they play ball. What do you guys think?

    I think its safe to assume 99% of the league has smoked before, and 90% of them probally still do.

    Do you drink coffee or pop or energy drinks? Pretty much everything is a "foreign chemical" except water.

    Yeah, he was bringing in somthing like $60 Million a month, $30 Billion annually. He was so rich he made #7 on the Forbes 'richest men in the world' list.

    And as I'm sure most of you know, Escobar was the inspiration behind the movie 'Scarface'.

    ^ I actually didn't know that.

    Speaking of Scarface, I haven't watched that movie in a couple of years.

    I love that line when he says: "Manny, look at the pelican flyyy! Go pelican!" [​IMG] always makes me laugh.

    Anyways, my bad for filling this thread with random thoughts. Carry on with your drug discussion.
