Scarface is great for unintentional humour. But yea, Escobar was more like the dude that killed Montana.

Montana was actually based off of Jose Miguel Battle, Cuban mafia founder. Anyway, back on the topic, anyone else an OG K fan?
Wow, a lot of you are not educated on the topic of self medication. It's a little disheartening to see some of you so confused, and scared, and others so negative about it. I think it has a lot to do with the information you take in, your D.A.R.E. classes in elementary school, your churches, and most of all the television set you so blatantly stare into for countless hours, but all that is for another thread and another time. Drugs, in essence are mind openers, they are tools for self-exploration to which we should be thankful and appreciative of. I myself am a "user" of many a drugs, most notably LSD, and DMT. Due to them, I have gained a new perspective on life, I have become a more open, patient, caring, and egoless individual. That's not to say drugs are not harmless, they very much are. It is however, the way you approach them that sets your reasoning between them. People need to be informed of such a high power that they are about to put into their body. Read, watch, examine, research and you'll find that like many things in life, drugs are one of those hidden treasures that can renew your ability to perceive. "I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug." -- Maynard James Keenan
I played Street Fighter as a young kid and it said "Winners don't do drugs." I've been a winner ever since. Who am I to argue with Ryu? lol.
I've smoked weed a couple of times. I do prefer smoking rather than drinking. White-widdow is teh ****! But you should never smoke it more than like once every week....

Peyote is a real spiritual experience for me.

You're speaking from misinformation and inexperience. *refers to Dr. Timothy Leary's Harvard lecture A psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of space-time dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. Most recently they have become available to anyone through the ingestion of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, DMT, etc. Of course, the drug does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key — it opens the mind, frees the nervous system of its ordinary patterns and structures.

Us young teens are influenced by adults and stuff. I posted my thoughts, and they thought it was stupid, I told them I am speaking from a point of a 15 year old. I agree with ya on that one though.
What exactly is the legal status of this material? Are we allowed to advocate drug use legally? I moved this here for now, but feel free to move it back if it's legal. Umair just looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen though.
Everyone's been pretty good with sticking to simply sharing experiences. If anything, the only people that have forced their opinion are the anti-druggies (Umair, phunDamentalz). Considering it was a thread started by Carter, I thought it'd turn out much worse than it has.
Re-opened. Let's keep an open mind and respect each other's point of views. No one is advocating drug use, people are just sharing their experiences. Don't confuse abusing drugs with trying drugs or experimenting with drugs.
