I don't want to waste my time replying to the "LoginName's" ignorant assumptions, but I would like to post on the topic.... 
Out of the few people that I did hang out with back in school - the ones that I smoked or drank with - about 75% have been in and out of jail.... I chose to break free from most of them, NOT because they did drugs, but because they didn't pursue any goals nor tried to better their futures.... "I got fired again for not showing up to work, can I borrow some money...?" I just didn't have the same mindset as them, and I do not regret letting those friends fade away....
Now that I am all grow'd up, I only know like 2 people in real life that I would ever discuss drugs with.... I have many other things to talk about, but all of my drug knowledge is "HUSH HUSH" in real life.... I pretty much work with married family peoples - and I already stick out a lil because of my "spunky wierd" personallity.... It saddens me to have to hide my interest in substances because of the stigma that would be attached to me by my closeminded aquaintences/workmates.... If they knew, I would be looked at differently for sure.... After all, a responsible person would never do drugs.... Brainwashed Fuggerz.....
But, that is what is so beautiful about the Shroomery....! Seems like there are a general majority of people younger than I, but that is coo~ wit~ me, I am young at heart...!
We should all pitch in and buy an island....! I wonder if Gilligan's Island is for sale...?

I'm older than most people here too. I know exactly how you feel. I really wish I could be honest about this stuff because it influences my life in a really profound way. Yeah, I'm with you: Shroomery Island!

It can be difficult to strike a balance between "real life" and drugs. It's a delicate venture, to be sure. Moderation is everything.

Here at Shroomery Island, the law of the land is: Take some and pass it on, and pass on....! Would be magical indeed.... I wonder if the evolution of the mind would be sped up there...?

Lets give it up for all of us "wierd drug users".

You know what, tonight I'm spending my car insurance money and rent money on beer, coke, smack, and weed. Afterward I'm going to beat up kids at the local pre-school while I'm all coked up/smacked/drunk/stoned and then right before I get arrested I'm going to ingest 4 ounces of shredded mushrooms.
You know why?
Because I'm a drug abuser, a very bad person who does no good for the society I live in.
Seriously though, lets either get this damn Shroomery Island or atleast go packing.

very true, moderation = key
all people move on in their lives, some may stop using psychedelics, some don't. I respect all of them, it's their own decision. But it's sad that they mock people who still use psychedelics now when they used to do it themselves.

it is just as one-sided as any anti-drug site you'll find.
except anti-drug sites make things up. You know, the whole, mushrooms make your brain bleed, marijuana causes people to rape, steal and murder, acid makes you think you can fly; lies.
Quote:
let's take a moment to remember all those times we've smoked the money we were supposed to use to pay bills.
The only time I was ever unable to pay bills wasn't because I bought weed, it was because I was unemployed. Which also wasn't caused by weed. During that period I only got high.. with a little help from my friends, can you imagine that?
Quote:
let's think about all those times we have called in sick for work because we partyed too hard the night before.
Hmm. Happened once. Except it was two days after the party, which sort of means it was less of a hangover and more of a migraine.
Quote:
let's think about the money we've bummed from mom and dad when our own selfishness and irresponsibility has left us in debt to drug dealers.
In debt to drug dealers? That's rich. The rule is cash money, up front. The only money I've borrowed from my parents was for rent and food. During that period, the rare occasion that I'd have $15 extra for a month, I'd celebrate with a $10 bottle of liquor. $15 extra isn't going to do shit else anyway.
Quote:
let's think about all those times we've sat around hating ourselves for being withdrawn from society and those considered "normal".
I don't exactly hate myself for disliking the vast majority of people, when the vast majority of people are cruel-hearted mental degenerates. and PS - drugs don't cause someone to be withdrawn from society, I'm sure many people can pull that off without drugs quite well.
Quote:
let's think about having nothing to do while we consume the money which we could have invested into something more long-term than a high.
Let's say you've got $30. What, exactly, long-term could you spend $30 on? that's right.. not much 
Quote:
let's think about the intolerance we feel toward opinions which differ from our own.
I'm only intolerant of simple-minded self-righteousness really. Hmm.
Quote:
let's think about all those people who "just don't get it", because there are a hell of a lot of them and we tend to avoid those types.
.. riiight. That's caused by drugs? Funny I could have sworn that's a pretty common thing among all kinds of people. Your point remains invalid. And by the by, people who don't understand that marijuana's safer than alcohol excepting the consequences of the law? They're generally so dumb and so loud I don't care for their company anyway.
Quote:
let's think about how we choose to do something which has the potential of taking away all of our freedoms if we are found in possession of it.
And wrongfully so might I add. I kind of get the impression that's why so many people are trying to outright legalize it.
Quote:
let's think about the types of people who end up with our hard earned money, because it's probably not that sweet faced local drug dealer. he is only getting the crumbs of a very large pie.
rofl. Marijuana does not fund terrorism. I doubt very much it even funds gangs, the profit margins are just not there. no, what I had been buying came from a guy, who got it from a guy, who got it from a guy who knew the guy that was growing it. Oh no, some old hippie dude was making money because of me, I feel like shit. Wait... wait.. ok I'm better.
Quote:
let's think about how we've changed ourselves to conform to the ideals of others, but how we tell ourselves we are different.
And you know me? No, really. You know me? How have I changed to conform, ever? No, that's right, you don't know me.
Quote:
let's think about all the times we've drove intoxicated and the consequences of this action should everything not go as planned.
Cruising through the country at 35's not unsafe. And by country, I mean there's a cotton field on the left, a cotton field on the right, and just down the road there's a cow pasture on either side, and then more cotton. Note I didn't include any houses. There's not. And irregardless, you cannot gauge my level of 'intoxication'. In fact, were we to meet, I might very well be 'intoxicated' and you would never know. Not all potheads suffer from redeye, or squinty eyes, or munchies or forgetfulness or uncontrollable laughing. Not I.
Quote:
let's think about all those times we've watched our friends do more than they could handle and not said or done anything.
Like woah man, jimmy just smoked all his weed and look at him I'm worried. That nap can't be good for him. And billy over there's trippin real hard, he can't stop grinning.. and he's moving in slow motion now. Ohnoes.
Quote:
psychedelic drugs have not made anyone more responsible or shown anyone anything life changing. the people who believe this concept do not believe in themselves. the ideals you share with your peers at this site are not your own, but were given to you just like a christian's ideal of jesus.
hah! -- and if one is not looking to psychedelic drugs to make them more responsible or to show them anything life changing? What then? What if one just ingests them recreationally, and if in the deeply introspective thinking that follows a revelation occurs.. is that then incorrect and invalid? or are you right and the world is flat?

I don't understand why any of you take the time to give serious indepth answers to people like this...? You certainly cannot force someone to have an open mind.... I also don't understand why people like this come and post here - UNLESS, it is to get the attention that their mothers never gave them.... It is pretty obvious what their intensions are when the only post they have logged is the current negative one....
Simple Solution - If you ignore them they will go away out of bordom.... If you engage them, you will certainly not "win", and they will stay to steal more of your attention.... I would MUCH rather read a thread/posts about the original topic (that is what brought me there in the first place), and not a drama filled exchange between an ignorant troll and a community of intelligent "friends".... I can't be the only one that feels this way...?
*****PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE IGNORANT TROLL HIDING BEHIND THE CURTAINS*****

I think loginname is a narc. and should be banned. making generalizations about drug use, and about the views and people on this board is not cool. People use drugs for different reasons, just because loginname is a fed/weak-piece-of-shit, doesn't mean hes right or even should be tolerated.
