I have nothing to say when im around straight edges.

So a couple nights ago i had to go hang out with a bunch of people that have been practically mormon sober their whole lives. I sat their quitly and didn't really say anything, most of this times i tell people that aren't in the drug scene that i have smoked DMT and been trasported to another dimension, or taken LSD for that fact (when i tell people i take LSD they freak out) people get sketched out.
I know that after college and stuff im going to be running into more and more morman sober people and im afraid i won't be able to get along with anyone. Seriously when straight edges have trivial conversation about a thing on TV i have nothing to add to the convo cuz i really don't give a flying fuck about greys anatomy. I would much rather get drunk get all loose and comfortable and play quarters for a couple hours. Thats the only way i really know how to get to know new people
What do i do in these situations?

Being able to interact and enjoy the company of sober people is a good skill to learn. Sounds like they were just lame people, TV is a brain and mood killer.
Find people that share hobbies/passions with you that go beyond drugs.

I mean i really like sports and stuff, i played soccer all my life and was the captain of my team for two years. I love sports and hiking and learning new things. But then a lot of the times there just the "football, yes john madden, yes brett farve, yeah he had 1,687 passing yards in 1988, football" And i think, "wow what a fucking idiot, sports are fun and everything but there is also a lot more to life" But i just don't know what to say to straight edges. What do they think about? How can i relate, cuz im having a tough time as of right now. I don't want to be the sketchy quite dude, but i also people freak the fuck out when they hear about my drug history. And drugs are a HUGE part of my life.

I get along with vegetarian-type straightedgers by cooking for them. As for the straightedgers who are just anti-altered-states I find little common ground. I like to trip around them and not tell them Im tripping because it gives me a sense of humour I dont normally have, and when Im tripping I dont always want alcohol and cigarettes.

Because drugs are a huge part of my life. With my true friends i prolly haven't had a sober activity with them sense i was 15. Everything we do either drunk or high. So when im sitting around meeting new people and it doesn't involve some sort of pharmacological agent (alcohol in particular) then i don't know what to do or say. I can make people comfortable and laugh and stuff, but i have such different values and political belief systems than the average straight edge. I don't know what to say

I agree. But have found that 'people who have experimented with drugs' tend to be more open minded. But there is many more attributes that I look for when meeting people.
I personally love just saying "Hi I'm ........... What do you look for in life?" If that person has an answer, their worth talking to.

Some people cant answer the question when you ask them what they do because they do something so far out of the norm that it is taboo.

Unfortunately, not true Coaster. Some people really are unaware of what life can hold for them.
I have met so many people that are quite happy to live for tomorrow. Thinking that tomorrow will show them what they enjoy, or what they are good at, what they should do with their life.
In reality there is no tomorrow. Tomorrow as a feeling is not possible, all we have is today. The present in which all things that are possible, are achievable.
If I meet a person who implements this, they instantly get my respect.

True, tomorrow is nonexistant, we only ever have the now. I try always to remember this, but I dont always.

I still have a hard time in the area that I often seek for callings and quests. Perhaps I dont know myself as well as I always thought I did. Ive said it before, sure all we have is the now but there really isnt alot you can do at 4 am when everyone else is sleeping.
