dont do drugs

The origins of the imperative, "know thyself", are lost in the sands of time, but the age-old examination of human consciousness continues here.

I’m lucky I never became an addict (of hard drugs). I only did pot & acid (apparently some with meth) in mid/late teens, but I live in a very drug-trafficked area. I was afraid to try coke.

I’m glad I never did, and that the meth in the acid didn’t get me addicted quickly like it apparently does some people.

Are you clean or getting clean? I know some who were able to get out of it & chase something else. It for sure happens & is possible, though I’ve heard some call it a miracle.

I would say “No”, but I know a few people whose minds and sanity were destroyed by weed and hash, so it’s certainly not for everyone - those modern strains are lethal, yo.

I’d rather do opiates than synthetics, if I was ‘that way’ inclined. But Jakobs experience explains buzzy-bee’s overly-overt psyche and pushily-trite-character, perfectly.

I didn’t do enough drugs for it to mess me up — which can be reversible, due to brain plasticity & CBT — and the issues you have with me (yours, quite frankly, although if you are ever specific enough, I am willing to reconsider) preceded my experience with substances.

If you didn’t get it in the first place, getting it back ain’t a you thing, either. Except the faith thing…which is like saying you can save yourself from drowning without an arm reaching down to pull you out of the water. Unless there IS an arm. Was it your faith that pulled you out if there is no arm, though?

The arm respects consent.

The purpose of life is to give everyone individually what they always want at the expense of no being - forever.

The biggest problem of life is the, “hey, I don’t want this to be happening” problem for everyone.

Welcome to thinking.

I can and did do only one drug which changed me for ever.


LSD did fir me which nothing close did, back then I feared it like the devil, but then when my appearent confusion about it and a history of confusion with other things worsened, their dropping it in my drink unknown by me, made me wish I never went to my friend’s party.

They noticed with the quip, that I should be glad, and it turned into a lucky truism, for I have been an a continuous ability to recall and simulate that natural high .
Simeon like my hero and compatriot jack keroac had one and only experience as well, and through that coincidence, I was able to link literally with the actual beats of that era, correspondingly and in person.

Explains a lot actually. Since I know what the real "merry pranksters" were all about.
