The rise and fall of drug use, personal success stories
As i sit here listening to certain music of very successful talented artists it gets my mind wondering. You see beautiful actors, actresses, and even normal people in very high positions in life with a gorgeous smile and glossy eyes. High purity cocaine which is hardly found these days associates itself with the wealthy, affluent, and successful people. However we live in a world where drugs obviously are condemned and looked down upon very harshly. Although all good things come to an end, i've always wondered have there been people out their including some of you on bluelight who exceeded and excelled in life while using drugs. Most common one is pills. I'm pretty sure most of the celebrities and successful artists/ reality stars have prescriptions to drugs like xanax, oxys, morphine and whatever else they want. Occassionally you have idiots like Lil wayne who don't appear to be very classy and known for negative attitude and stigma. But you also have a lot of successful people in this world that i would imagine became so successful partly because of drugs.
If i finished my degree and had access to ANY drugs that I wanted and unlimited, I could see myself reaching peaks and heights in life that a sober person could never do. By saying that i don't just mean being recognized, wealthy, or just successful i also mean that drugs allow users to experience feelings that a sober person has never felt. I could never convince one of my colleagues who has never tried drugs and is 100% against them, how much life changing experiences and feelings i've experienced from drugs that she could ever imagine. It wouldn't make sense to her or any other sober person. Of course drugs usually change someone for the worse, but for the affluent and wealthy including celebrities many of them maintain their success by use of drugs. Even if the day ever comes where i never use a drug again, my way of thinking and understanding things, and even creativity is much more enhanced than someone who has never tried a drug or felt strong "euphoria".
Of course i have had the downfalls with drugs, but not to the lowest point because i've spared myself from addiction atleast so far. But a part of who i am today, and a part of why i am so open, easy going, understanding and imaginative is because of experiences that i have had off of drugs, that i never would felt if i was a normal sober person. I guess my main point of this thread is that, are their many "successful" (rich, affluent, well known, respected) people out there that have got further in life from drug use. I feel if any drug was available to me for free and unlimited and as long as i reasonably used them that i could turn out to get into medical school and pursue careers that i never feel capable of doing sober. This kind of goes in correlation of college students using adderall. But obviously their supply is limited and it's not access to any drug out their. I have known someone who has abused drugs all throughout college, but appeared beautiful, intellect, very educated and understanding and now is very successful and gaining attention in the media. But what people don't know is that there were many bags of cocaine/meth, xanax bars, heroin and everything else involved in the reason why the person is successful as they are today. She felt "good" all the time, and her mind expanded into places it never would of sober and gave her understanding and meaning of things solely from the drug experiences. Because she had access to anything and fairly unlimited, she was able to combat any side effects. Example: Passed all assignments, presentations, tests, with all A'S due to stimulant abuse (adderall, meth, ritalin etc) to negate their side effects she used xanax bars, valium, somas, all sorts of stuff just changing the drugs around. Now she is a lawyer and a very noted one in her city. But little do people know that this pretty young girl was a junkie but a wealthy one able to get anything she wanted, maintain her appearance, mood etc.'
Several celebrities are extremely popular and liked and successful even by those people who are completely anti drugs. We always think of drug users as broke, poor appearance, lack of intelligence, stealing, aggressive etc. But there must be some junkies out their who can hold it together and get far in their life? I was just clearly writing something that pertains to "drug culture" (this forum) and was wondering if anyone had anything to say/opinions, thanks!
--The image that comes to mind is the rich white girl with curly blonde hair and red lipstick snorting lines of cocaine while being popular, succesful and intelligent, and stunningly beautiful (even though im gay)
