same... IME they think less of you, maybe treat you differently, but ALWAYS call you up on a later date trying to buy drugs that you explain over and over again you don't do and/or sell

Exactly. I don't really like being known as the drug guy, but it pisses me off when people start staying stupid shit about drugs. Just yesterday someone told me all animals produce a different form of DMT, and if you do squirrel DMT, you will perceive things as if you were a squirrel I just can't let shit like that fly.

IMO most people just don't do their research, they hear shit from other kids and are quick to just believe what is being said because of their inner perception of that drug, or just want to spread misinformation.

If I encounter a situation involving people or persons acting like idiots or talking about shit they don't know but I do, I call them out publicly about 80% of the time.  The lesser infractions aren't always worth the effort for me.

I like this answer.

But what the fuck is a "drug Guru"?

Sounds like fucking retarded(like I type), reminds me of that thread asking what you would give someone if you where to enter them into the "drug world".



Yeah I am drunk again, deal with it.

I feel like I turned an entire generation of locals on to DMT, though. It's amazing how little time some people spend puttering around on the Internet absorbing random information.

Yes, I am, but I feel tired of talking about drugs or drug policy at parties. It'd rather talk about mathematics, philosophy or natural science. Fucking druggies.

Same. It gets old after awhile. I actually lost motivation to correct people when they're misinformed, even subjects not pertaining to drugs. It all gets so tiresome.

---

Especially when you go and show them all the arguments and all the studies and shit that say they are wrong, but they just won't change their mind or they give you some sort of "I don't know man, its still pretty bad for you." statement.

It's because you argue wrong and are too convinced of yourself. I used to be like that, too. Just let the discussion flow, put in some information here and there (no bullshit or misinformation) and raise doubt. You can give the direction of the discussion, but you cannot (completely) predict/cause a certain outcome. Trust me, if you do that, people are going to find the bullshit in their own world view soon enough, if they are open minded enough. You might also find the bullshit in your own arguments. Happened to me several times.
Sokrates knew that this was the way to do it 2500 years ago.

It doesn't even have to be about drugs: sociopolitical and environmental issues are some others, which make me feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. Society implants all of these ideas into our heads. The problem is their roots have grown so deep as to be nearly impossible to pluck out except through serious open mindedness and personal research. Debates are tiresome, so I just listen, nod my head, and let people think what they want. Hopefully something I say at least triggers them to reconsider their thoughts because I know during my conversations I often reconsider my own ideas when I hear a challenging argument, even if it is a difficult thing to do, actually saying "wait, I may be wrong." I know it is for me, but I try to keep an open mind about things.

Shit's fucked up and bullshit, and I'm just as much to blame as anyone else.

You, sir, got the point.
