Why do we take drugs?
    #5708898 - 06/03/06 08:44 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Lets not think about this in terms of morals. Lets try to understand the philosophy of drugs and why we do drugs. When I say drugs I mean the ones that get you high. Why do we get high? If we tried to look at this in the primest perspective possible, say if you were God looking at your creations doing something with plants that make themselves temporarily insane. What is the philosophy with drug users? I know this question seems general and easy to answer, but trying to understand what we are doing. Ignoring establishments and laws as variables of the conversation. What exactly are we doing? Is it some sort of a movement? A rite of passage? What sort of a world are we deciding to enter? Who are we?

The word "we" does not apply in this situation, at least for me. :lol:

Why do I occasionally partake in the experience that drugs provide? Most simply, for the experience, which, coincidentally, is the reasoning behind all of the actions and behaviors I engage in. The experience which shapes my perspective which fine-tunes my experience.

We are the villains, and we are the heroes. We have a heaven mandated mission to fight the world, and only God is on our side. The next millenium is about to be a good fight of beleifs I assure you. Lets not be bullshitted by what was doctrinated, watever that was stamped on our clean slate of history from our infancy. The politics that poisoned us from birth, and the challenge for the new idea that will save the world. Knowing that the idea is there, knowing that there will be a movement besides the extremes of being too conservative or too liberal. An idea that all the money in the world couldnt make. What are we doing? What should we be doing? Its obvious that our place is out of line, the line with the end points of being conservative or liberal. I am stamped, I am a product of this nation that chooses a side. Fighting for freedom is about to have a totally new meaning. We deserve to be who we were from the beginning of time. A right for our nature so to speak. A fight for out nature.

Psychedelics have the capability to allow you to gain tremendous insight into yourself and the entire cosmos. If that's not a good reason, then I dunno what is! :smile:

In order to triangulate consciousness, so as to better understand and comprehend reality. That is why I take psychedelics.

why do people take drugs? Because they are not happy with the kind of existence they normally have, and want something deeper, more interesting.
Everything out of the ordinary in human life (the ordinary being your basic primate heard life) is a substitute for something else. Sometimes the substitude tastes better than what it is supose to replace, but still it starts out as a substitude

i don't need them anymore so I don't take them;

but if I did, I would...

lots of people have no business taking mind expanding substances
but you never know

I had a friend that was a total fuck up. 1 hit of acid fixed that.

he went to jez'us and became a proud pillar of the community.

Oh, is that it, then? It seems as though you are simply speaking for yourself and not for anyone else... Not everyone takes drugs because they are dissatisfied with reality, and I feel sorry that you are dissatisfied with reality...

I don't think we could ever rationalize drug usage. I guess its different for everyone and different drugs and different situations.

Are we not capable of rationalizing anything?

Sounds a lot better than Oldwood's statement that "everyone does drugs because they aren't happy with reality". :lol:
