to explore and learn about myself. to change things from the standard normal view of reality.. kinda fucked up that its 'illegal' to go within our heads, to do whatever we want to our own bodies and minds.. the govt is basically telling us that we belong to them and that we arent allowed to 'change our software' and we cant handle making our own decisions and actions.. so they are going to think for us.. and if we disagree theres going to be hell.. and quite often that means sit in a tiny concrete room with bars as doors and windows.. thats what you get for operating yourself... they'd be better off making fast-food illegal its a beautiful world
The reason why I do drugs, is well first they feel good, because if they didn't no matter how much insight or whatever, I know I wouldn't do them. But what I like about them is how they make me be more me, and they show me, more sides of myself, and bring everything out, and everything in.. I love that feeling of learning, and comprehending everything... I love the attitude towards they gave me, the understanding, the experience and how they opened my mind.
I don't, but I used to. Some of it was "scientific curiosity." With tripping, which I did a couple hundred times, I think I was also trying to see how much acid I could do and if I could get as high as my first time, which I probably did several times, but it's hard to tell, because each one was different - mostly different visuals, although some were recurring. Strange things also seemed to synchronize themselves with my mental state, such as seeing a spider walk horizontally in front of my eyes in mid-air and having it confirmed that it was really there.
Cars in the 60's were a lot bigger and a lot trippier too. One model, a Comet I think, had slanted taillights that looked like a cat winking with the turn signal on. It was bizarre to see a car bend around the corner, too, just like in a cartoon. My car, a '61 Buick LeSabre, became known as "The Sponge." A six-foot guy could crash on the back seat completely stretched out.
- curiosity - relaxation - fun - self-exploration - self-therapy - scientific research - to get new perspectives - masochism - sadism Lots of reasons to do drugs... choose the one you like most!
fun, freedom of thought, freedom from the world/society, expanding thoughts, gaining knowledge of self/others/the world, learning the truth by leaving the box and looking at things from a new perspective, relaxation, for optimal enjoyment of life, humor, meeting new and different people, seeing new ways of life, learning what's real and important, learning how to better myself, my daily life, and my future.
I´m just curious: Did your parents find out so far, that you do drugs? How did they react? (Btw: It´s my opinion, that being catholic and going to church regularly is just a poor excuse to drink wine regularly and sniff the stoning odors of the sacrament...)
LOL A couple of years ago I read a definition for addiction: "You are addicted to a substance, when you get a benefit after consuming this substance you won´t get without the substance any more, or when your body won´t work without this substance any more." O.K., in this case, I´m addicted to oxygen, because I won´t get my benefit (life!) without it, my body won´t work without it either.
Why not use drugs? Been around forever. God put them here didn't he? We only live one life. Now I don't believe in becoming a crack head, or a junkie. But to be able to do acid every once in while is really nice because you get to think about things you don't when your sober. Realization is the key.
thank god there are people out there like "LOST CHORD". more people have to realize that the drug laws are ultimately doing more than "protecting society from harmful substances". if the government really wanted to erradicate drugs then they would. they know more than appears to the public eye. its the drug war (especially in the united states) that is soo fucked up and crazy, its the government and ppl in positions of extreme power trying to regulate the substances that regular joes ( excuse the term) have access to. by them regulating this, its basically stopping us from thinking a certain way, which is probably what they want to avoid, ppl thinking in different perspectives than normal people, who could think of ways to uncover the many truths that they are hiding from us . oh , sorry, i meant to say "protecting" us. hahaha. sarcasm. i do drugs for alot of other reasons previously mentioned. they do help you discover more about youself, your tendencies, capabilities, and i strongly believe that a healthy human brain needs to be exposed to different chemical compounds for a change of perspective. and in a more spiritual sense, a readjustment of what is reality. if i didnt do drugs i think i would probably get tripped out by being and feeling th same way all the time. kinda scary, eh? its tru. watch "waking life", great movie, very veryy intriguing. and i will not defend drugs to say that they are not harmful. all substances are harmful, you just need to educate yourself and take necessary precautions, and most importantly, knwo yourself and how you react. but really, most universal tendencies, say in science, nature, etc all follow similar patterns, i.e. fluctuations. to put it into this context, it can be said that all minds and brains need fluctuation of brain activity, it helps maintain healthy chemical balances. and by giving the example of drug abuse, proves my point. too many drugs too often is bad for you. but a healthy fluctuation is good. but of course depending on your body and mind. everyone is different and reacts differently to different drugs.
