I don't think anyone is here to judge you, it just seems like some of them don't really get the implications and they're worried. It's something I'd consider doing schoolies, I'm just too worried I'd get stuck on a bad trip.

"whooo I feel I have a inflated ego and my face is numb.... whoooo". Please. I feel better after a few beers, you wanna know why? Because I haven't blown 2 days work worth of cash to feel like I have listened to a self help tape 40000 times.
I was offered Weed once, but I passed. I don't know why people always say, "It's hard to say no". It's easy to say no, I say no all the time...

Therefore, people need to understand the dangers that come with drug and alcohol use. I'm just worried that some of our younger readers will read this thread and see it as a green light to experiment. That bothers me.</p> </div></p> </p> Life is all about choices that we make... </p> </div></p> </p> But, if they are illegal you don't have to make that choice, you don't have to "experiment" with it. Or lets say it would be harder to get them, unless you want to break the law. </p> </p> I've been offered to smoke weed before (during high school), parties, etc but there is nothing in this world that would make me smoke it. (unless you pay me a million bucks haha)</p> It's not that I'm scared from it (experienced a war during childhood so a weak drug won't scare me) but if you use your brain and think about it, why would you need to smoke weed when you can live healthy and be happy without it. I don't need some drug to help me enjoy life. So many other good ways to do it. (sports and sex come to mind )</p>

I guess it's harder for the young guys and gals to do it, since they want to fit in but it's also part of the family education and how much they get told to say no. </p>

^ haha, all I am saying is that there is a percentage chance that iof you consistently use drugs, you are prone to be addicted. A bloody stool is a medical problem
Aaagh yes that is true but being a loser is all in the blood. If your dad was an alcoholic or some sort of addict, you have a higher chance of addiction.</p> Also look up 'addictive personality'. Different syndrome, similar effects</p>

It would really better society.

I have the right to get intoxicated. It's not hard to see the negative consequences, but those consequences are all relative. As far as kids experimenting with drugs, it's going to happen regardless. The question then becomes, do you lie to kids about what each individual chemical will do to them, or do you speak the truth and risk them using it. Weed is a great example of how kids are lied to about it's actual effect. You can't lie to kids forever, eventually, they will realize that smoking weed on Friday nights will not kill thier brains. When you tell them it does, you lose all credibility, and they will never trust you again, so be truthful, and *informed*. I am guessing that you are too afraid to try anything. To each his own. Just try to avoid projecting your own paranoia onto other people when you cannot back up what you claim.</p> </p> </p> </p>

So go figure...</p>
Thats an interesting thing to say, Ecstasy is something i'm somewhat concerned about - just a bit scared of getting a dud-pill and getting majorly done over. Like I know most likely nothing will happen but it's just such a concern. </p>
Getting hooked on drugs is stupid(IE Cocaine,Alchohol,Cigs, Heroine) but smoking a blunt with your friends is not doing anything wrong. Whats the worst thing that happens when you smoke? You go to taco bell at 3am?
I dunked a pill for the first time yesterday, definately wasn't as good as i expected, i didn't have one massive "peak" but i was just much happier, none of this "omg i love this song" kind of crap.</p>

lol, nah,theeffectsof ecstasy are only fairly minor, thats why you get some idiots popping 3-4 pills in a night (which I dont condone at all, to anyone).
