I'm about to blow...

Well, I do drink, smoke, and smoke pot....and I totally agree with you!

I've never really understood or respected anyone who thought they were "cool" just because of the amount of booze they could guzzle or grass they could smoke. Those are the people that are doing drugs for all of the wrond reasons, and also the kind of people who end up hurting themselves and others.

If you don't want to drink or smoke then DON'T! No matter what anyone say's it won't make you cool. Only you through your own actions can make yourself cool.

 

Don't wanna sound like your mother or something here, but I started smoking weed when I was like 14 yrs old and all the time my parents said. You start with weed and end up doing heavier drugs later on. Of course I laughed at them and said that I'll never use anything else, but pretty soon I started using xtc, amfetamin, cocain, u name it......


And then 10 months ago I did an overdose on heroin and laid in a coma for two weeks.

So the message to all you young people out there, DON'T DO ANY DRUGS AT ALL. Eventually you'll end up like I did.
Stick to alcohol instead.


And by the way, I haven't touched the stuff after what happened

 

Drugs are bad, m'kay.

 

Gash---don't let it get you down.

You can't spend your life worrying about what people think about you. If they are really your friends, then the will understand that you are how you are and they will except that.

Of course, that usually means that you have to except them as they are as well.

I don't do drugs--never have. I have known lots of people who have, and they managed to turn me off of it. Same with smoking. I do occasionally drink---most of the time when I do it is to help relieve some stress. Once a month or every two months, it just depends.

I have only been really drunk twice in my life! And I wasn't appreciative either time.

Being who you are is one of the most honest and best things you can do for your self and others. The older you get, the more you will come to understand this.

 

I always wonder why bother too take drugs? I mean, so you get a buzz, but fuck that! There are so many other ways to get a buzz or feel relaxed or feel good!

 

Just pointing out the simple fact that
alcohol is a drug and is just as bad for you as any hard drug on the market. so don't say 'I don't use drugs' and then go on about how you drink booze.

and as for smoking pot leads too harder drugs, that's B.S. I have smoked weed for 12 years and will continue to inhale ganja til the day I die. but I have never used coke or heroin or xtc ect. and feel no need to do so.

Gash it's your choice as has been said. that is all that matters. if you care about your friend though, get on him about smoking cigarettes. cigs are nasty and absolutely horrible for you. I know I smoke cigs and have had a very hard time quitting. ohh I can go weeks without smoking weed or having a beer (yep beer, I don't drink hard liquor), but I sure the hell can't go 2 hours without a cig.

sober people still frighten me.

 

I didn't mean it always lead to heavier drugs, BUT for younger more impresionable kids it usually does and there is nothing you can or should say about that

Since you said you have smoked pot for twelve yrs I should think that you were old enough too understand that there is no point in advertising it just because you've never had any problems with it.

 

i'd say that is what you meant judging by what you typed. maybe you should have pointed that out in your original post my friend. and well, 10 years ago i was younger and smoked pot, yet i didn't find the urge to use any harder drugs.

 

You are still missing the point here, all I am saying is that there is no need for advertising or glorifying drugs of any kind, just because you turned out fine doesn't mean that every one else will.

And if you didn't know already, pot and hash can cause severe depression alone.


And sorry if I ticked you off in any way, don't want to start a whole thing here, but this is just something I really care about. OK?

 

no need to apologize my brother. i'm not ticked off or angry. that was just a good healthy debate. something we all need.

i'm not glorifying any drugs. as you said, i just was pointing out that i enjoy smoking bud and i turned out fine, if not better than many sober people in this world. but who's to say that one person is better than another. we won't know that until we die and are brought before the one and only Entity that can truly judge us humans.

 

Are you going to swallow too?
Just kidding.

I know several people who don't drink. I wouldn't call them boring though.
Society only expects you to blend into it. That can very well be achieved most places without alcohol.

 

i dont know about any one else on the board but... My life is crazy enough without drugs, I dont need them to add more confusion to my life. And that is leaving out any Medical reasons (of I have mor than most).

 

that's f@%$ing hilarious!!

 

For each time you use drugs, the possibility to turn in to a real life Minsc (head injury) or something worse is fairly big. Stay away .

A nice argument against smoking: See how people who have been smoking for 40-50 years enjoy their lounges in the morning.

 

Lol. Well that's not true.... A couple of beers isn't bad, as Satiana already said, being drunk isn't cool but being happy and funny cause of some drinks isn't bad (however I'm also crazy without it) and I smoke a joint once in a month or 2... that makes me only relaxt and easy, not hyper-active. Then only coffee is left... well... that's something necessary

 

Don't conform.
Make choices based on what you want to do with your life. Enjoying/succeeding in life often hinges on being true to yourself and making the choices that are right for you.
If someone gets on you for not partaking, then they are too weak to stand by their choice and let you stand by yours.
I partake sometimes and my wife does not. I do not give her a hard time or try to convince her to participate. I respect her right to choose to live her life the way she wants to and am comfortable enough in my own choice that I don't need the validation of others.

 

Aww thanks for the advice guys. its helped a lot, most of my friends accept me for who I am now...unless I pinch their asses then they get annoyed :S
