Why do you take drugs?
    #7537148 - 10/19/07 08:39 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

personally, i like to explore the limits of reality, experiencing what most people never get to experience in their entire life is pretty significant, you never really know what reality is per say until you've gotten far away from it in many different directions.

Why do you take drugs?

I find sobriety unsatisfying and boring

also I think pot is the only thing that keeps me from being a serial killer.  Without it, I would share no empathy with my fellow man.  Every time I quit smoking pot, all my friends begged me to start up again because I was such an asshole without it. 

pot might make you lazy, but its not half as bad as haloperidol and Thorazine... :lol:

Well, I like them.. They allow me to explore the world in a different way and learn new things everyday. In a sense, I view the few that I take, mind expanding. [Weed, LSD, and Shrooms.]

I began using psychedelics for consciousness exploration and mind expansion. That lasted about a year before I had an ego-death experience. The job was complete and I haven't touched them since... for two reasons: 1) I was freaked out 2) because I crossed river and didn't need the raft any more.

It's been over two years now, and I miss them, and am sure I could gain more from them, yet I'm afraid to return to the state I was in during my psychotic break. I'd prefer to reach that place in a controlled fashion, rather than a crash-and-burn/get-more-than-you-asked-for method again. Although, I'm a much better person after having experienced it, and don't regret it for a minute.

I used to consume drugs to live in the moment, because the world would never pause for me and wouldn't allow my mind to retreat from the future.

Now understanding this state I don't need an aid to do this for me. So why do I continue to intake drugs? Why do I have dreams about rice pudding? I like it.

I take different drugs for different reasons:

Marijuana: to enjoy myself, to be alone with my thoughts, to take my mind off stressful thoughts.

Psychedelic Mushrooms: to view the beautiful world as it was made, uninhibited by our filters, to feel physically good, to think in altered thought patterns, to come to self-realizations and external realizations.

Cigarettes: for something to do, possibly addicted

Caffeine: I don't really have a direct wish to sunsume caffeine, but it's in a lot of drinks.

Opiates: puts my mind and body at ease.

My first dabblings into the world of drugs were to see what all the hype was about. After smoking my first bowl and loving it, I went on to become a regular marijuana user, for recreation and medicinal use (clinical depression).

From there, it became more about gaining knowledge and experience of the effects of various drugs, and the slight beginning of a deeper look into things. Cocaine came next, and after a good year and a half of partying hard, I quit and haven't touched it since, although a line is good in the proper time and place.

Some other experimentation was done here and there, salvia, a couple rails of heroin (which was more disturbing than enjoyable), and a few other illicit substances.

I then moved on to psychedelics, which I found to be one of the greatest gifts I have had the pleasure of receiving. From my first trip on, it turned into a full-blown desire to find my true self, and maybe come to a greater understanding of life, the world, the universe, and the human psyche. I've always been the type who loves learning, and it seems that exploring the inner working of the mind, and perhaps what I can only really perceive as "alternate dimensions" is what I was meant for.

Alcohol:  To ease myself into recreational mode; having a few with friends usually leads to a great time. To bond with others through the activity of drinking together... helps me to be a bit less introverted sometimes.

Marijuana: To enhance music; to prevent myself from expecting myself to do anything constructive; to make cleaning and other mundane tasks more appealing; to  shift my attention to different thoughts than those I'm currently thinking, whatever they may be.  I've recently decided I'm wasting a lot of my life with it and have quit.

Psychedelics: To explore; to be childish and silly with friends; to enhance music; to challenge my preconceptions about life; to face myself; to remind myself about what is important, to see the inherent beauty in all things.

:smile:

I take psychedelics for a controlled, limited peek into the Ultimate Tao. The higher the dose the less controlled the peek becomes and the more difficult the experience.
