Drugs as a lifestyle
    #7943999 - 01/28/08 06:00 AM (16 years, 4 days ago)

A lot of you seem to think you're so enlightened, so "intellectual" and whatnot. You are better than those poor, pathetic non drug-using people you're forced to deal with in your everyday monotonous lives - no, you can "perceive" things beyond the material world. Big fucking deal. In reality most of you are a waste of space in society. Just puffing on your cannabis all day. Going to college to do some useless arts degree to try do some useless, oversupplied profession. Dressing like creepy bearded, long-haired hippies and frying your brain cells in parties every weekend or more.

Why must you make drug use an entire lifestyle? Isn't it enough to take a few psychedelics a couple of times each month, appreciate the experience - but not make all of your life choices, your life philosophies, revolve around the pretty colors and warm glowing flood of serotonin that you get from your chems?

I use drugs casually, and I'm passing a degree in Engineering with Software Engineering as a major with flying colors.

I fail to see why you put everyone under one group.

No need to paint everyone with the same brush, man. There aren't that many people that embody ALL those cliches. And so what if they do? They're better than crackheads.

Taking drugs doesn't make you enlightened but they can be a helping hand when not abused

OP, you do realize you are fighting a specter of your own mind I hope?

There are very few people on the Shroomery who are like that.

I'm confused as to why the initial post in this thread was even made

your post applies to very few people... and it probably shouldn't have ever been made in the first place.

Statement's based on stereotypes and miss understanding of a culture does not have much insight. What came first the ability to perceive or the use of the drug? If you can't remove yourself from the equation and try to look at life from many different perceptions than using 'drugs' (mushrooms, marijuana, etc.) is just an escape and not an exploration.

I have used most drugs and enjoy all of them as an escape and as a journey. They have helped me realize my ability to perceive and how I further explore the meaning of life or at least the more important things to find in everyday existence.

You can find enlightenment in anything...it seems as though more psychedelics provide a giant neon sign and even those that aren't more intune with this type of thinking can start to see 'things' differently.

I am curious why though you ask this question out of anger and with intent to insult? Is it because you truly don't understand and are angry at that fact so you lash out at those you somewhere feel have a deeper understanding of what you cannot?

The point is anyone who wants to expand there mind in a positive way to improve their life and/or the lifes others around them I can't see the horribleness of it. Abuse of drugs though can be a problem though...as can abusing anything in life.

Kind of sounds like you are saying if we all don't choose to go with the choices that are financially rewarding as opposed to personally rewarding that we are just a wasted of space. I have made many choices based more on what's right for me that what will make me more money. Those decisions have been the ones I've regretted least in life.
