I think all substances have a place in your life. It's just do you want a life or do you want misery, drug addiction and no life? I think I'm coming around to Halif's line of thought. Thing is recreational use is one thing, habitual use, dependence and addiction are another. Are you happy within your self? Take a look at your life, where are you at, what have you achieved, what makes you happy (other than getting shitfaced)??? Sand bagged for 12 hours? Is that a good time? Opiates, are they fun and euphoric or just an escape from the mundane? Benzo's are not opiates although using the two together, aside from being ridiculously dangerous, has a use usually medical and in a controlled setting like an orthopedic ward.
I want a balanced happy life. No binges only occasional use at appropriate times. Drugs should enhance life, make the beautiful that little more special, not be an escape clause. I mean I love taking a tryptamine and just getting back to nature sitting in the garden, taking a bushwalk or even just wandering around public parks. Thing is society judges all use as bad unless it's alcohol, tobacco or a fucking big mac. I don't want to breakthrough, meet the machine elves, tweek for a week. Been there done that.
Benzo's have a place usually to help with getting some fucking sleep. I don't want to walk around in a fuzzy blanket of nothingness like I shot up some A grade H. Not unless I need the pain relief and am totally fucked up unable to ambulate or attend to activities of daily life. Unfortunately for me I'll be needing shitloads of antihistamines cause almost all opiates make me itch like a mother fucker.
