Drugs and Happiness
    #14564210 - 06/05/11 11:15 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

How do you all think drugs have affected your overall happiness? Have you found a sweet spot for maximum happiness with your drug use? What substances do you use and how often?

I'm at a time in my life where i'm trying to figure out what direction to take my drug use, so any feedback would be much appreciated.

When you are happy, you don't need drugs.

Wow, drugs have definitely enhanced the quality of my life and the way I think. I guess that one of the biggest benefits of taking drugs was to learn how to tune into my senses so much that really life can mean absolutely anything from there. This helps me a lot when I am experiencing something that I would consider to be unpleasant, because I can always find enjoyment through my senses. But that's not all. I actually feel that my cognition has improved, the way I learn and organize my thoughts, my aesthetic sense, the way I can feel close to another living creature... all this stuff progresses all the time. :smile:
Hmmmm, now it's time to get me some drugs... :strokebeard:

Good and bad, I'm less functional in society but on the plus side I have less worldy worries, if you're an ambitious person it's certainly not a good thing although this could be just an exacerbation of an existing trait. Probably also more intense highs and lows.

Overall I really don't think it's a great idea to plan on very regular drug use. Keeping it occasional is likely for the best IMO.

Well in life I have learned that all emotions, including happiness, are temporary. Growing up, i suffered from depression and i found comfort in marijuana. I sometimes wonder what i would've done without it :cruelworld:. When i started to use psychedelics my whole perspective on the world changed for the better. I remember when i would go on bad trips how i would try to snap out of them. I was able to do that. Then i realized how you dont have to be on drugs to control your emotions. When shit would get bad, i would tell myself to snap out of the "bad trip". I started to see depression as just another "bad trip" i needed to snap out of. I believe that in a way, drugs have helped me be a happier and healthier individual. On a side note, if anyone is familiar with the bible, the "fruitages of the spirit" describe what its like to be stoned!
check it out:
Galatians 5:22,23

22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

"more intense highs and lows"

I think there is a lot of truth in that.

One thing I would add is that if your aim is to devote your time completely to the exploration of the mind, well, nothing better than the right drugs. It's not something I've fully delved into yet, I hear insanity and extreme morbidity is common but it does tempt me. :eek:

The "right drugs" is key.  I hate addiction is why I stay away from certain drugs nowdays.  The highs can be wonderful but I hate needing anything or craving it.

I wouldn't say that the drugs I used earned me more happiness, but they definitely helped me to realise and define what my own happiness is.

For me, the objective is to always have my goals in life syncronized with the substances I take. If those 2 things start pulling me in different directions, I know it's time to lay off dr00gZ for a while.

I shroom and smoke twice a month, it definitely improves my overall happiness. I use it as kind of a reward for my hard work, and while I'm tripping I reflect on my life choices and it helps me realize where I can improve myself. The days following my trips I am always in a fantastic mood.

However, I used to be a pothead which definately lowered my overall happiness. It's a slippery slope for sure.

My drug use has been a Fustian bargain.  It giveth and it taketh away. 

I still enjoy XTC but not much else has any interest these days. The odd hit of acid still interests me a little.
