I always had been told that drugs were evil and bad and even that drinking would only bring bad things...

And it's sad that I didn't doubt it. Even when I heard that it's fun i was just like... uhh you people are idiots.

Then I got drunk and like everything changed. I felt so lied to.. and I was mad that people make up so many lies just to protect people. It was one of the best times of my life and I realized so many things, and it was a like an epiphany. I realized that this is the reason people do drugs. That there must be different cool feelings.

nezz wayzz I was just wondering if others felt a complete change of heart towards drugs... or were you always just up for whatever.
 
Yep, back in high school I was brainwashed straight edge and anti-everything.

My school even put up flyers of an essay I wrote about in health class whenever you were for or against cannabis legalization. I crack up when I think of what I wrote "No I don't want dope-sick drug-heads offering free puffs to our kids or for them to think it has use as a medicine."

Yup, first time I dipped tobacco it opened up my mind and made me realize the government lies and spreads propaganda about most topics to the public.

Nicotine was my gate-way to finding unbiased information on things I was interested in myself.
 
hell yea i hated pills i was like no way will i ever try them you'll die in a instant with an overdose till the night me and a couple friends were going to a party they whiped out oxy and hydro cut it up and did lines so i was like what the hell and i was then hooked on how it made my night feel so much better.
 
I wasn't ever necessarily Against it.
Even as a kid I didn't really have much of an opinion about it.

I just thought weird and scary people used drugs .

I never knew there was this huge culture surrounding it , etc.

One day I was offered weed
It made me realize things ...,


.... Then I did psycs and wow man the government and society were wrong !!!
 
My perspective DEFINITELY changed. How could it not? I felt liberated mentally and it opened me up to new things. Some of which I'm not proud of (Beta Ketones, Codeine, Xanax) but I try to keep this under control and I still see weed as a harmless drug that I really feel confident using. No worries about ODing, no worries about depression the next day. No significant danger of addiction either.

I've used a huge amount of drugs now and my perspective fluctuates. One minute I'm for legalization of all drugs. Then I consider the counter arguments that people may see them as "ok because they're legal" like we've seen with Mephedrone. I think it could work if education in the matter was given a larger sum of money to do research. I believe an independent body dedicated to education (shadowed by a reputable group of scientists) could change things rapidly for the better.

Right now I'm for legalization of Marijuana and MDMA (although strict licensing would be in place to ensure people did not abuse the right. I also think medicinal use of LSD and Mushrooms for cluster headaches shows promise and it's a grave shame these routes are not being pursued.
 
I remember feeling real anxious when I first tried meth, cos I'd heard all the horror stories.

I thought one hit would turn me into a raging psycho, but nope, it was actually rather nice! :)
 
Getting shots of morphine post-op, and a vicodin prescription for recovering changed my perspetive. But I was never anti, I was smoking weed at the time. But the doctors and nurses glorified the pain killers for me. I remember in the recovery room them saying "enjoy your only legal high" then gave me a shot of morphine. Months later when my friend offered me vicodin I was like why not, the doctor gave me these same things... And my use didn't stop for a long time after that.
 
my perspective on drugs changed, obvioulsy. My perspective on life changed too tho. Im more open minded and ive learned alot about myself while on drugs
 
Actually. I find it amusing how I remember the small details about our drug lectures at school. Some suggested that LSD could produce a "never ending trip". They were referring to HPPD I assume, but in an extremely exaggerated fashion.

I also remember them saying mainly that MDMA is bad because it's cut with other things. That's the sole argument I believe to legalise it. But no, of course not.

I've also become very politically aware and am voting Liberal Democrats for their incredibly progressive drug policy.
 
I never really had a bad perspective, I took dare and really didn't learn anything and I already had the attitude in 5th grade that I need to find things out for myself. I learned how cocaine isn't really addictive, it's completely how your personality is, as well with pain pills etc. If you abuse them all the time youll get addicted. period. if you control yourself you wont unless you slip, and if you slip it's still your personality, so yea

This is exactly what happened to me. I didn't really have much of an opinion, but then I became interested in altered states of consciousness, and ho-ha, drugs just came into my life. Definitely opened up an entire new world for me.
 
good thread :)

Mine defiantly changed. Before i started using I had a stereotypical perspective of drugs/users but obviously that changed
 
It's sad.. cuz I know so many people still that are against drinking and everything... and I think, wow you guys could be having so much more fun in life. They're kind of losers who don't really do anything. And he's like obsessed with tennis even though he tells me how it's not even that fun.

yeah... I remember reading about drugs in my psychology class. And actually learning about them made me just more interested in them than before. Even though they said some bad things about them they actually made them sound appealing. Kinda funny how they try to warn you about something and it just makes you more curious about it, haha.

I'll disagree with you there, Doesn't bother me if people are against using substances there choice you know, just as long as they don't act so superior about how they live the clean life.
 
I was never against it.. but I always tried new things like food, drinks ect.. it was the way I was brought up.. it was only natural that I tried drugs. My parents are super anti drug, however they "always try something new" thing poured into other aspects of my life.

Different strokes...

My perspective on how society should deal with drugs changed; or at least I saw things as they were. I was never brainwashed to think of drugs as something wholly destructive / evil. Drugs are drugs. Everything has good and bad potential. If I gained anything it was a healthy respect for their power, both for good and bad.

Don't think I could have gained that respect without experimentation though, you know? One can only teach so much, impossible to transfer experience. I do have a similar experience to Violenza in terms of being imbued with a healthy (mostly!) curiosity from a young age
 
"We're going to give you a medication to help you to contend with the pain until you've fully healed...have you ever been prescribed vicodin before?"

BAM!
