LSD, Mushrooms, Cacti, DMT, Yopo, and Ayahuasca = Mind expansion and religion.
Weed = Fun/Social/Enhancing above ones
But I don't like to call these gifts drugs, I view drugs as substances that cause damage to your body such as alcohol or cocaine.

Hmmmm lets see I do drugs for many reason. I been lying to myself and caught myself a couple of months ago. I use to say I always did it for spirituality, but there has been many times where I used them recreationally with friends. The main reasons I now know why I do drugs is a new perception on life, recreational use, spirituality, and mind expansion.

Different reasons behind different drugs, but what unites 'em all is to have fun and to enjoy myself.

I'm not interested in a debate, I know that someone from the other side would not be able to understand what I was saying without the experiences I've had. Those are simply my views, I didn't say that the things I'm talking about aren't drugs, I just don't view them as such. I've stopped debating a while back after my first DMT experience, because I've realized that in order to truly understand me and not subject what I say to their own rationalizations/bullshit people would need to experience that as well, and the ones that have experienced it would already know what I know so there would be no point in telling them anything. I don't mean that everyone who smoked DMT will think that it's not a drug, those are just my opinions
Also, what exactly is so wrong with what I said, aside from my PERSONAL definition of drug, everything else is completely true.

you have to interpret it as the government giving a bad connotation to the word drugs rather than the word drugs giving bad connotation to the substance. makes more sense that way. the word drugs isn't bad. the government makes it bad.

I believe that psychoactive substances are tools used for healing and learning. They have been used for centuries by the indigenous tribes of the world. When you say drugs I think of pharmaceuticals or hard street drug like crack or meth.
I quote my childhood friend.
"Out of ignorance I used cocaine and heroin. At first it was all fun. After awhile I found myself in a downward spiral. Every one I knew moved on with life and I found my self tired, sick and alone in my personal hell."
As a kid my friend and I would pass by the homeless junkies in the streets. Who thought that one day he would be one him self.
Sorry If this sounded a bit preachy but that is the reality of drugs.
Stick to the psycho-actives!

I get high on drugs because drugs make me feel good. I mostly like downers. I thought I used to like psychedellics, but realize now that I have never liked them.

I do drugs because I think that you can't really see your life with true objectivity from the sober state. I think that living a life without ever artificially altering your perception would be a tragedy.
Plus ah liek weed b/c it maeks me fell gud.

i do em cause i can get my grubby hands on em
i never searched for weed coke or alcohol but they were present so it was a why not kinda things...actually that didnt even cross my mind more of a ...???
e on the other hand i despised but i was pretty curious as to why peoploe would mess with it if it was so "bad," then i messed with it again and knew what was in it was def bad for "me"
shrooms i searched for, cid i have the means but not the time and with salvia as well, DMT'd be crazy but im not even gettin my hopes up for that one
then after the fact of doin them i deem them spiritual/helpful

mind candy

just plain good whenever it can be fit in to the schedule.

i was always scared that i would die and would have never seen anything that cant be explained or i would realize that everything IS really how it looks/seems. so i guess i just wanted to prove that there is more out there than it seems. and i like the different form of creativeness, drawing/writing.

I understand my body as merely a machine, or vessel that I control. I see these drugs as a means to alter my waking state of consciousness as I see fit, but within the rules delegated by the effects of the drug.
So, for a wide variety of reasons, but never leaving out the fact that they are fun..

Why do you put drugs in quotes as if LSD, Shrooms, or DMT aren't drugs? Are you also one of those people who claims cannabis isn't a drug because it's a plant?
I put it in quotes because I don't like the stupid label that the government puts on them. I don't put psychedelics in the same category as any of the shitty drugs. By my definition a drug has to be something that is addictive and or harmful to your body, and most psychedelics aren't either of those things. I can tell you right now that DMT is not a drug, it's a neurotransmitter that your brain naturally makes......how they made it a schedule 1 drug is beyond me. Yes I understand that these are substances that change your perception, but why do we have to label them as drugs? I mean if you're releasing DMT in your sleep or meditation are you doing drugs also?....then perhaps we should all be arrested right now for our brains making an illegal "drug". And then what about cigarettes or alcohol? They aren't illegal, but they do alter your perception also - do you not label them as drugs because the government tells you they aren't? Even though they cause more deaths than all of the illegal drugs combined.
First off, the government is retarded, but who cares? LSD, Vicodin, DMT, Coke, Shrooms, and Meth are all drugs. It's just a generic catch all for "it changes your brain chemistry" or some shit like that. I label cigarettes as drugs just like anything else. Alcohol too. Whenever one of my friends says "i don't do drugs" and they just got smashed with me last weekend I ALWAYS say "So you don't drink now huh?"
Also, no one has even proven that DMT is made by the pineal gland. It's just a thought.
Also, sorry but I get sick of people getting up in arms that they're drug of choice isn't a drug. You don't see coke heads saying coke isn't a drug 'cause it comes from a plant too, do you? Some of the greatest minds and thinkers in the world didn't have to sit around smoking DMT all day to get where they were. No (legit) person seriously advocates drugs as a way to be a great, thinking person. Sure, some pot may open up some doors and LSD may enable you to view things in a different way for a bit, but ultimately changes comes from within, not without.
