🤝 Cultural 🤝 What is your response when somebody asks you " Why do you abuse substances? " ?

Like Ol' Dirty Bastard once said when asked that exact same question, "life is boring." Straight up. I'm not saying I'm not a drug addict, I am, through and through. A shame less one that has never lied, stolen, borrowed or engaged in otherwise slimy behavior that I see so called 'successful' and 'sober' people do on a daily basis. Everyone knew/knows it and I have never given AF. I love drugs for the sake of loving drugs. Ironically, the one single time I ever used because I couldn't cope (I discovered I had a fully grown son born to a woman who abused me when I was a boy, that was a rough one) I got high twice and said, 'Good God this is horrible. It isn't working and I'll die if I go down this road. We're just going to have to process this one." Go figure, the one time I used for the reason all those clueless shrink/healthcare pseudo intellectual/busybody Karen assholes claim people use for is what lead me to get straighter than I ever got in my life. Like I said though, life is boring and I like drugs. Always have, always will. Now days though, the juice is rarely worth the squeeze and well, we all have to grow up sometime. Or try, I guess.
 
I usually don't let people who'd ask questions like that know about my addiction. Also I think there's no need to justify or explain it. Addiction is a medical condition. People wouldn't ask why you have ADHD, would they?
 
Definitely go for "well i know people close that had likewise problems with substance abuse, so you can open up to me i wont be shocked .... " or something alike then led them lead the conversation figuring out the orientation of said question

Or have em use drug in front of you [and tape it if needed ;)] then all goes off course

This is one hell of a good point, I never saw it that way... however, i have had people ask me that question not from a place of shame or malice.. but instead just genuine curiosity and naivete on the subject in general. So I feel inclined to have an explanation of sorts, if you get what I mean:bananaslip:

I absolutely get what you mean. I've seen that kind of curiosity in people and if theyre not people who are close to you and who you'd share very personal stuff with, its really none of their business. By a lot of people addiction has been (and often still is) seen as a moral issue and something that occures in people whose will is just not strong enough, otherwise they'd be able to stop. Even with addicts themselves that and the shame that's connected with it, are big issues that themselves reinvorce the addiction. It took me a long time to see it the way I see it now and I still, when I'm at a low point, have feelings of shame, even though logically I know that its nothing to be ashamed of. Damn social conditioning.

because i have good results with art and music.

because i think i deserve to because the results with art and music,

also because i was screwed up in life and don't breath well with out drugs,

and because i see things that bring me great enjoyment.





i think anyone should be allowed to take drugs, but because i'm tuning objectively real guitar tunings with psychedelics i believe i'm a shaman bringing back stuff that always comes back into the universe.. as a teen i took 5meo-amt and just tuned into DADFAD guitar tuning (a pretty obscure but sensical tuning) with out having any idea what i was doing. i just held a bar chord and was able to get into the tuning very gracefully. it was an amazing experience... if i wasn't tuning anything that is objective music, i wouldn't be so set in my ways that i am right for using drugs.... none of the drugs i take hurt me and i'm probably only getting healthier cause i'm breathing in ways that seem to promote my body being healthy physically and that with the objectively real guitar tunings coming to life, i can't see why i'm wrong for using drugs.... even if i would've tuned the same stuff with out drugs, i feel like being in an altered state and being able to get the same results and the results probably come easier, that is really special... i 100% have experience losing myself with drugs where i played stuff with a lot less practice than i would've needed if i were sober. maybe it's just my mind, but i feel like i'm working with spiritual frequencies.....

this is the conversation i have with my therapist.... idk. i talk about this on BL a lot. probably sounds like i'm bragging, but it's real shit.

To the occasional Empathogenic or Psych users, this question may not apply to you :ROFLMAO:

As for the rest, what actually goes through your mind when somebody asks you the classic " Why do you abuse drugs? " question, and what would your response be? Be it from family, a new friend, or an acquaintance, etc.

Especially if you are functional - financially and socially. The seemingly obvious answer to such a complex question that comes to mind is "I'm addicted." However, I personally find that response not very productive in a discussion and leads the conversation nowhere; I get brain-jammed and find myself struggling to justify or explain to somebody why I choose to crush up and snort Ritalin or Midazolam every other day, for instance. I know I am addicted to a large extent, but there is so much nuance to it.

What about You? I am very keen to hear your personal experience! :whistle:

Did u sniff midazolam, reminds me of my last winter in my father's elder brother's house, he use to give me dormicum in the morning and evening and i use to not take the morning pill and crush both pills together into fine powder and sniff it to sleep 💤😴 phew helped me get thru the darkest days of my life,

The world is an evil place, and most people are selfish, self centered, lie and having to live in this world is depressing. The number one cause of death in my sex+age range is suicide. Not cancer. Not car wrecks. Not heart attack. Not violence. No even dumb luck. It's suicide.

So I abuse substances to cope with the fact that the world is terrible and as far as I can tell it doesn't want people like me living in it anymore.

thats because u need to find people like me or atleast become friends with me,
 
First I'll probably ask "how much time you got?" Then I'll talk about all my physical ailments, my PTSD ad nauseum to the point I'm trauma dumping on them and they don't ask the question ever again. 😂
