I tried to find the HIPFORUMS tent at Wakarusa....but there was so much going on, I never found it. too bad, i've been coming to this place for years, since i was 15. I've had so many names....sometimes i would be away from a computer so long that i would forget my login name and password, my hotmail account would be canceled (which i don't think they do anymore thank god....granted i do have access to a computer regularly now)...so a new identity was formed.......... i was concerned about the term "drug induced scizophrenia".....i've heard that LSD can lead to long term mental problems....and i was wondering if this had to do with it? if its too personal, i apologize and you need not respond.....peace
Noone knows for sure.. I think LSD might have had somethign todo with it. Of course, they say, if it ddin't happen on acid it woudl have happened sooner or later.
my friend got his brain fried from acid, he hears voices and he goes regularely 2 a phyciatrist. He will juts sit there daydreaming and then he will start laughing and it will b kinda weird, but u just gotta laugh. He tells his mom that his doctor says that it is ok 2 smoke weed and it is probably the only thing keeping him normal. haha i got alot of memories from that kid
puff puff pass & ((hugs)) to y'all. sorry to hear of the other poster's loss too. i don't feel bad about smokin' up after Alex's passing; he would want it that way. it just so great to know there are caring people around even though i'm new around here. thanks.
Thanks i am; they had the memorial service today. i wasn't able to go but i had my own private "goodbye" time today. Later this weekend some of us that were closeset to him are getting together for a final goodbye & to celebrate his life. Plus i'll probably be getting tobether with my special buddy soon & talk to MJ *wink wink* !!! LOL
He was like a younger brother; i didn't have any siblings growing up. He turned twenty the same day my son turned 10. Alex had the most amazing mind and was so full of life. On one hand he had an old soul but on the other he was still so innocent. He wrote some wicked short stories. We're hoping to get them together and see if we can get them published; i know of a good do-it-yourself publish on demand place. He had demons though that he wouldn't let anyone help him face. He wouldn't let us help. He was all about helping other people; always. Yet he would never accept help for himself.
It seems as though he made the world a better place, the way you describe him. Possibly a loss for all of us.
i remember he came to class one day just freaking out and said some body got him high but he didn't know what it was. so first he thinks it's pot. i tell him what it looks like; no it's not pot. another friend and are playing name that drug with him. it's really quite funny in hindsight. we're asking how he felt - note he's never smoked anything but a cigarette. we finally figure out the girl had him ripped on OPIUM. Oh Alex!! He just was so trusting at times. like i said he was smart but so naive and trusting. i love that little jackass!! he kept us entertained with his jokes and smiles...i'm sorry i don't mean to go on & on. he did finally get to talk to Mary Jane -for real that time. LOL
The only thing that breaks my heart is a mutual aquaintance got him going on crack & he was on it when he took the 14 story swan dive out the window that killed him. i don't know how much of that contributed to his death.
Don't apologize. It's never a bad thing to talk about loved ones that have passed. It's a part of the healing process and it keeps the memories of that person fresh.
Probably had a lot to do with it. Alot of my friends are meth addicts, and I am scared they will end up like Alex did: either ODing or just feeling so hopeless they commit suicide. Not a good life to lead. Meth and crack are a fuckin one-way road.
i have some friends that are hooked on coke/crack and i don't want to see them dead. they have made their choice to continue with their addictions so i have to keep up boundaries to protect myself. it doesn't mean i'm not their friend but i can't be there when they're using & they def. don't get money from me. i had to back off one friendship from someone that started stealing my vicodin from me. it's hard for me to trust these days. if you ever want to talk p/m me. i wrote somewhere Life is a hard lesson; death even harder.
You can always PM me as well. You seem like a really nice and interesting person. It's been good talking to you.
