http://www.talktofrank.com/ = look up your drug of choice.
I tried weed once or twice and it was kind of weird and horrible. Made me light-headed and out of control, so basically I rather get drunk without the horrible sick feeling. Alcohol isn't the worst drug. It has no real long time affects, all the other drugs do and that's is why I really don't like them. I have friends who are *far-out maaaaaan* even when they aren't stoned, times to many I asked if they were stoned and they weren't just been affected by the drug damaging thier brain.
I might come across harsh and I really don't want toI personally wouldn't and I don't think that you should stop, it's your choice. ^^
Drinking alcohol can have no long term affects? Yay I'm not going to get any liver dysfunction if I am always drunk now!!
'Cus I promised myself I'd stay pure meaning no drugs, no alchahol or ciggarets.
Well pure from those things...
Not saying that if drink alchahol your teh ImPUre but there's a long story behind it...

Drugs? I haven't even drunk alcohol. Why? Because it conflicts with my world view.
Do they illuminate me intellectually? Philosophically? Spiritually? Ethically?
At best, drugs and intoxicating sustances give a short-lived and restricted, if intense, physical pleasure.
The greatest threat to the civilization we know is the omnipresent and growing decadence and self-indulgence of our consumerist society. We have no ideals, no ideas, no purpose or meaning except for fulfilling short-term physical desires. From self-indulgence nothing can grow but chaos. And this chaos is within reach and realizable through nothing but free choice, libertarian good intentions and the pursuit of happiness.

I don't have anything against it, I just don't do them for two reasons:
1. They're illegal, and there for impossible to get without the fear of getting arrested.
2. They do bodily harm, something that I don't want to do.
If not for those, than I'd been on the weed train all the way to highville.

Mmmm I suppose you are right now I think about it. But hey, what's the worst that can happen? How hard can it be?Furburt said:
Heh.
And I can deal with that, since without them, I find it nearly impossible to get anything done without flying off on fifty thousand different tangents. Sure, there are non-stimulant options, but I'm not that sold on them.Levitas1234 said:
Although it made the idea of drug tests a bit of an annoyance.
Having to explain myself to some administrator is not something I wanted. Hell, I already get pulled out of line at the airport damned near every time I fly...
Because the first time I was going to try any drug, it was going to be weed. The kid next to me took the blunt, smoked a little more than his share and couldn't breathe. He had athsma and had go to the hospital. I run track. No smoke for me.
I don't do drugs because the price and criminal risk of marijuana just isn't worth the paltry effects, and the drugs that will actually do shit will also seriously fuck you up. So I'll stick to my alcohol.
My father is an alcoholic and marijuana addict. I don't want to end up like him.
I've seen first hand what it does.

The website is obviously biased, deliberately exaggerating the side effects and witholding other information.Razomka said:
You know, apart from liver cirrhosis and Korskoff syndrome. Maybe the occasional overdose. Or dependancy. Or, when kicking an alcohol dependancy, perhaps a bout of delirium tremens which can be life threatening.
About that website witholding some information? Turns out one of the articles on there about cannabis (all without citing sources by the way) said that heavy use leads to lethargy in some cannabis users. What they neglected to mention is that descrepancy between heavy users and the control group disappears after 6 weeks of abstaining from cannabis.
Now, I know this looks like I'm trying to nail you or something, but that's really not the case. I just want to try and persuade you to be a little bit more critical in picking places to get informed. Especially since you made the remark that alcohol has no long-term side effects - which is a dangerous assumption to make.I might come across harsh and I really don't want to
I looked around for unbiased drug information on Google but couldn't find any in English. There are several institutes in the Netherlands that provide factual information on their websites but I couldn't find an English button... so I guess that's where this is coming from. Regardless I urge to take measures to find better information. Good luck!
Ah! This [http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/add15.htm] is the closest thing I could find, but it's hard to navigate and might not have all the information you might want. And not everything is equally well written. There are some book suggestions though.
Never socialized with anyone who drinks or does drugs so I never really found myself in a situation to try them. I might some day should the situation arise but for now I don't really see the point in doing things like that alone.
I'll also add that marijuana should be legal for so many reasons it's absurd.

If you aren't religious it's an easy one. The thing that defines you is your brain as it is your center of consciousness. Changing the chemicals in your brain with drugs and alcohol is changing your very center of consciousness, so it is for me essentially the same thing as suicide; because the natural me has been changed and no longer exists. If your an atheist drugs and alcohol are suicide. If your religious this doesn't quite work with the whole soul thing, but I'm sure there are lots of good reasons for religious people not to do drugs as well.
Personally, I don't intend to end up with a family that I care that little about that I would deliberately and vindictively choose not to allow something good to come of my death for them. If I have enough money when I die, I'll have university funds set aside for my great grandkids (or grandkids if they're still young enough). Sure, I don't intend to hand out money whenever anyone wants it, but I'm not going to be a complete dick to the people I care about. Unless they put me in a home against my will, in which case I'll have a life size statue with a plinth that says "You killed me" built in each of their gardensFralf said:exactly let them get there own damb money, i think that mixing money with death makes my demise seem less sad. and secondly yes i will die within days but i will die happy.Mako SOLDIER said:Lol, if you buy every drug on the market you'll be dead within days. Plus, way to screw over your entire family by spending all their potential inheritence on shitFralf said:
