There's nothing wrong with someone getting stoned and spacing out or laughing a lot. If anything it's healthy


right...


The smoke part no whoops I didn't realize that, I meant the laughing and enjoying oneself part. Honestly though, is there anything wrong with that?

And Rodheh yeah I'm realizing the futility in arguing any further. I was mostly just trying to elaborate on a counter point- I guess I read to much into your statement and assumed you were applying it to everyone.

and now to contribute my end to the weed thing- I go through phases. I smoke weed a lot then not at all. Sometimes when I smoke it (usually around girls or a lot of people) I feel a little insane tbh and get over anxious and uncomfortable. Sometimes I love to smoke a shitload by myself, sometimes it scares the shit out of me. I think it can definitely be a useful drug and I have to be honest when I'm bored and miserable and makes things infinitely more interesting. And I love listening to tunes when I'm stoned.

And I can appreciate your irritation with people constantly offering you weed, it is annoying when people tell me to smoke weed and all that, I know when I want to do what drugs and when I don't want to.

I can relate to all of that TaoTapeTao. You hit the nail on the head for me right there. I haven't smoked any in a long time, my head hasn't been in the right place, but I'm sure I will smoke it (and enjoy it) again in the future.

After reading the previous page I feel like I need a smoke actually. :wink:

It's fine. I understand and also I was a bit rash to say "fuck weed" and not explain that it's not all who are/can be considered "stoners" that are the kind I have a distaste for in my first post, in greater detail.

I don't want to argue either, especially while I'm high.

I also enjoy listening to music while high, but with opiates/opioids I've gotta have the volume up a bit louder, as it is a bit harder to hear. Common side effect.

Listening to music on Zolpidem was amazing for me because it would make everything sound wider and on top of that I'd just feel amazing. Too bad my tolerance is so high I can't enjoy it like that anymore.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

Hmm. I was thinking about trying weed sometime, but with it comes all the 'you're a stoner', having to hide it from your parents, (I'm 15) etc. IMO weed sounds awesome but in the current state of things do having to go to all the trouble keeping it a secret and not being able to do it with most people worth the feeling? Thoughts welcomed.

I hope you're feeling better. Sleep deprivation can really fuck you up, I used to have the same problem for years, I just wouldn't/couldn't sleep and I'd end up having panic attacks. It's sounds like you may have been having a panic attack, they're the fucking worst.

I haven't had a major panic attack in years, but when I used to get them a lot the only thing I could do to help at all was curl up in a fetal position and keep telling myself it's just a panic attack and I'd be ok, that I wasn't having a heart attack or dying, it was just something that would pass and I'd be ok.

cocaine is evil and my nose agrees.

And sleep deprivation is super dangerous kiddos do your best to treat it while you can- I've known some friends to permanently fall off the deep end from lack of sleep combined with amphetamines.

Yeah sleep deprivation can definitely lead to psychosis. I've never had it get that bad but pretty close.

I am not much of an upper person. I've done cocaine a few times and it felt really good at first but then it was like I was outside my body observing myself yapping but had no power to shut myself up, then I start to feel all strung out and paranoid. There's a 45 minute window where it's euphoric as hell, but I hate all the other baggage it brings for me.

I haven't done coke in almost 10 years though. Damn time flies.

Never tried coke myself. Doesn't particularly interest me either. Taken Ritalin a few times while I was prescribed it. Kind of fun, but I will say it has possibly the worst comedown of any drug I've known!

I've recently entered the psychedelic realm and I've had a couple of the best experiences of my life from it. I'm very happy about it. A side effect is that I've suddenly taken a big liking to a lot of colourful and psychedelic clothing now... and I love it! I always knew acid would be my favourite drug.

Yes psychedelics are quite awesome! Just be cautious and respectful and they can certainly teach you a thing or too. And closed eye visuals are amazing.

Coke is just a glamour drug. I will never pay for it, but if I'm offered it..... sure.

And I can attest to the Ritalin crash- one of the most depressing and robotic feelings ever, I sat for like two hours doing nothing and feeling so upset with myself the last time I did it. If you're gonna take speed, you might as well take adderall instead. The crash still sucks but the effects are much more pronounced fun IMO. BUT, speed is also evil.

Man, music is such a great thing. It's just a bunch of waves of air crashing into your ear. and your brain processes it as music. :lol:

The first time I smoked weed it was so weird, I felt like I was floating in a dream and the next day I had only the vaguest recollection of everything I'd done the night before. Not like a black out, more like "whoa, that really did happen, I didn't just imagine it". Like we painted a bunch of rainbows and clouds and cats and crap on my friends wall and the next day I was like "wow, that happened".

Anyway, that never happened to me again until 2 nights ago. I smoked this amazing weed and the next morning I woke up and my hands were all pink and I was like "wtf?" Then I looked in the mirror and was like "oh yeah, I forgot I decided to go full on strawberry shortcake last night"

That was a fun surprise.

I would stay far away from all drugs if I were you. Purity is an extremely nice feeling. If you're sad/empty/whatever, there are plenty of non-chemical things you can do to feel better - spend time with your friends, write, play music, sit in the rain... the possibilities are endless, and none of the legal ones fuck up your body.

Hmm. This is always a tough one. It depends on what you're looking for in trying drugs. But if it's a serious issue keeping other people from knowing, then it's not worth smoking weed :lol: it's just an unnecessary amount of stress and effort to keep people from knowing you're smoking a plant.

If you're looking to experiment with mindstates and altering your chemistry, there's no reason not to. Human beings have been doing it since their beginnings, it's a worthwhile and illuminating adventure but it has its risks. But yeah there is definitely merit in it, and a lot one can learn from certain stuff. But you have to stay smart and be self aware and be weary of drugs that have no real benefits aside from getting fucked. They are usually destructive and dangerous.
