Friday the 13th! Good day to trip maybe something sketchy scary will happen
Don't get me wrong, drugs are tight. Just don't use them to try to change who you are and you won't look like a dumb fucking wook
I kinda disagree with the sentiment. I could agree with it if it was more explicitly referring to "Don't build your identity around drugs", but for the way it is worded makes me think that they are saying that the "correct" way to do drugs is to do them in a way that they won't change who you are at all. In that case I would argue it is impossible, because any drug opens you to unexplored parts of the psyche. I think it is impossible for them not to make a lasting impression in anyone, to the point that it changes who you are in at least one aspect of your personality/worldview. I dunno though, I'm pretty high right now so it could be that I'm just being paranoid. Or am I?
My first thought was disagreement as well, but mostly because it seems weird to put a spotlight on drugs there. I feel like anything you do with the outward intention of changing yourself will make you look 'like a dumb fucking wook' to whoever you currently socialize with. Drug addict trying to get clean? That's a dumb fucking wook by junkie standards. Christian questioning the Bible? That's a dumb fucking wook by Christian standards. Working class dude trying to get an education? Dumb fucking wook by working class standards. It seems to me that it's a mistake to be concerned what you look like when you're tryna make a change - whether the change is positive or negative doesn't really matter, it's all about perception
this is basically my pro methamphetamine argument. since thats the only drug i really use for recreation (other than L when i go out, and now i smoke reefers a little bit socially)It is not drugs if not how you use them. I am sure we all know cases of people benefiting from a certain drug or getting worse. People love to try to draw a line between good and bad drugs, legal or illegal, pharmaceuticals or not, psychedelics and the rest, my favourite and not my favourite. The message underlying meaning some of them benefit and the others are the devil. In fact I think just about any drug can cause harm or the opposite to the right or wrong person in the right or wrong time. And I agree strongly that there is not such thing as a universally right way of doing any drug.
But as the message went towards psychedelics, I think psychedelics will definitely change you, slightly probably. I as well think that the potential of change reduces with familiarity. First doses could be truly eye openers. The more I use the more I think that the less I use the more efficient they are. As well I think the change using psychedelics is kind of dangerous and might be dissorienting, I found myself more than once getting too much information I didn't know what to do of it, and thinking that if I was with somebody with a deeper knowledge and sober he could be of great help. In a way, sometimes is like dreaming, you wake up with all those memories that are too abstract to get nothing out of it. Difficult to translate depending what kind of knowledge into action and actual change.
