50 grand to stop doing drugs.

I'm also a vote for 'get a job, make your own $10k a year it ain't hard'. It will teach you some discipline.

Failing that, tell her you'll do it if she stops consuming any alcohol or coffee for five years too.

The thing is, if you're being honest about your drug intake then you are nowhere near having an issue with this. Quite the opposite, at the levels you are describing I would say it is quite beneficial for you and will teach you many great lessons about life and the people in it including yourself. Just make sure you don't get any deeper into it, slow down a bit on the psychedelics, get a job and earn the cash yourself. Be an individual, a unique power in this universe. You can do it!
 
I think you should offer your sister $50,000 to do drugs with you at least once every two weeks and tell her that you'll pay her in 5 years.
 
I agree with everyone so far.

The control, the relationship troubles, not being able to do what you want to do; it's just bad news man.

Drugs aren't bad; using them to excess is. Just use them sporadically; keep your studies your highest priority and it's all good.

Also, you won't be able to hold your side of the deal. When you want to have a psychedelic experience, you're going to. There's little that can hold that back, least of all a deal you struck that involves a sum of money you might get in 5 years.
 
I don't think I would take it. I thoroughly enjoy doing drugs, pretty much the same ones as you too. I love the lessons and experiences I take away from using drugs, and yet I still have fantastic grades in school and plan on going to a good college. I think if you moderate your use and make sure that you're not going overboard (I don't think your'e going overboard now, I'm just saying in general) and put school before drugs, then you'll be able to get yourself a job (hopefully) and make that kind of money anyway without giving up something that you like to do.
That's just my two cents, you can obviously do whatever you think is best. The economy isn't great right now, maybe a sure 50k would be a good thing to have....but again, I personally don't think it's worth giving up your prime party years when with some hard work, self control, and dedication you can make that money anyway
 
$50,000 dollars for 5 years of sobriety is absurd.

I would need a signed legal document guaranteeing me at least 6 times that much money to even consider it.

I don't think she sounds controlling. Controlling would be to lock you in a room - not offer you $50,000.

That would be MORE controlling, obviously, but trying to make peoples' life decisions for them by holding money in front of their noses when they're broke is absolutely a controlling and manipulative behavior and not at all a healthy way to relate to your own siblings.

This is so close to what I was thinking.

Tell her you'll abstain from drugs for 5 years, but she has to do drugs (lsd, weed, mdma, etc/a varied lot) every other week for 5 years - and she can keep her make-believe money.

I wouldn't take it, for several reasons:

1. She's "about to be" a big-time lawyer? The law market is REALLY rough right now, and if she isn't even established yet then assuming she'll have the 50 grand to fork over in 5 years is a stretch. What happens if she loses her job and falls on tough times? Do you think she'd live up to it? Would you even want her to if it would put her in financial trouble?

2. It's a really unhealthy relationship to develop with your sister, being paid off for the decisions you would have made that she doesn't like or understand.

3. Even if you follow through on it, it could create distrust and awkwardness between the two of you. This is kind of an extension of #2, I guess, but it's already obvious that she has no trust for you and your decisions; do you really want her suspiciously keeping tabs on everything you do to see if you're living up to your pledge? The best way to kill honesty and trust is to involve lots of money.

I would tell her that what she's "offering" is a very controlling gesture and isn't helpful. You can't "fix" people by throwing money at them to do as you say. Whatever she thinks is wrong with your drug use, understanding and respecting each others' decisions and offering candid advice and criticism will do both of you more good than this bizarre arrangement of hers.

This is solid advise.
Offering 50K will not make anyone quit drugs or anything else for that matter.
If you want to quit and never look back that is a personal decision that only you can make.

This this this this this.

I would seriously weigh the consequences if there was some mythical means for you to just 'get' 50k after 5 years of sobriety, but your sister offering it to you is condescending and manipulative. You should be able to make your own decisions and your own mistakes. Such is life.
 
i dont believe in getting paid to make life changing decisions. mainly because it doesnt work. it didnt work when my parents tried to pay me to go to the dentist when i was 6. it wouldnt work now.

doings drugs is a personal choice. it should not affect your "real" persona/life ina negative manner. if that is the case, than quitting has no place.
if it has negative consequences (like you not finishing college) then it should be properly handled/ argumented, not paid off. as a future lawyer your sis should know this :)

but id like to notice that youre 20, and you think now that not doing drugs for the next 5 years would be throwing away your best years.... i think this is a dangerous thought. many have had wonderful years without drugs. maybe you are taking your habit a bit too seriously.

so i woudlnt take her offer seriously, but i would however try to think a little about the role the drugs play in my life.

best of luck!

I recently decided to tell my sister about my drug usage. she knew i did them anyway and i was rolling at the time so i figured id just be straight with her. since then its been good- i like being honest with her and it seemed like she trusts me with my decisions.

Ive been doing a lot of psychs over the summer- about one every two weeks. its been great but its made me realize i should probably get serious about my school work so i decided i would try to stop raving as much.

Raving has become important to me in the year ive been doing it. I love to do it and im actually starting to get pretty good at gloving ( i practice all the time) and ive been good at orbiting for a while.

My sister just made me an offer and I dont really know what to do about it- I thought maybe bluelight could help.

She offered to pay me 50 thousand dollars to stop doing drugs and to stop raving. this would mean everything- no LSD, no ecstasy, no weed, no shrooms. She doesnt want me doing anything illegal. She would pay me on my 25th birthday- Im 20 right now.

I dont really know how i feel about this. This would basically be giving away the best years of my life. and worse it would be selling out. she doesnt get why i like drugs and she never will- shes straight edge to the core. she thinks its sick that the best times in my life are on drugs.

I feel like she wants to control my life and worst of all now its clear to me that she doesnt respect my decisions or trust me like she claimed she does.

On the other hand this would be 50 grand and yeah im pretty sure shes good for it. not doing drugs would probably help me graduate from college but honestly i dont see why i cant do both.

honestly im leaning towards turning her down. sorry if this is the wrong place to post it- if it is mods feel free to move it. thanks for any help BL.

crap troll
 
$50,000? I'm pretty sure that means you're either dosing every day on the same shit and coughing blood or something fucked up and she wants you to stop, or she's just being a contemptible bitch.
 
Everyone has their price. Is that yours?
I hope you are considering the possibilities. Do you need the money more than the drugs? I would personally take the money since I don't like street drugs or just haven't found one that I liked.

But you? No, I don't think you're me. You're the type of person who would enjoy life more if they had street stuff. I suggest no, and tell her that the opportunity cost is too high.

lol.

To me, the psychedelic experience is TOTALLY priceless.

I'd rather have one breakthrough LSD trip knowing I'd die afterward than live a full life in ignorance of psychedelia.
