Do you think consuming illicit substances make your life better?

Firm believer in better living through chemistry.

I picture my sick little Utopia: A drawer of pharm grade stims (Dexedrine, Adderall, Desoxyn) right by my bed if I so choose to indulge that morning. Existing anxiety and that caused by my intermittent stimulant usage and my lack of sleep will justify me to have benzos around. Probably Vals or Klons throughout the day, to keep things mellow. Temazepam and Ambien alternating at night to help sleep.

But I'll keep it real man, I will. I'll stay productive. I won't abuse, just use. A lot.

Weekends though, weekends are for Heroin.
 
No every great moment in my life involved drugs but if I went my whole life without at least trying them I would look back in regret. Then again I have never fought an addiction so perhaps my opinion would be different if I had wasted my life high all the time.

Variety is the spice of life.
 
I really don't know. It gave me a place to belong I guess. Gave me friends. Gave me very good AND very bad experiences. Gave me money. Gave me peace AND crazy anxiety/feeling of dying. It's better to have felt than to have never have felt at all? It's definitely made me more open-minded... and more "street smart".
 
Was my first time on MDMA (well, and first time using anything at all) that I decided that living seemed like it might be better than the path I was on, ~5 years back. Can't say what would have happened if I'd never rolled in the first place, but I definitely give it some credit in where my life is now compared to back then :)
 
I think that it depends largely upon the illicit substances in question; I'm not a big fan of hallucinogens, but the one or two times I've experimented with them, well, it was a pretty cool, mind-expanding sort of experience. I would say the same for MDMA and bk-mdma as well.

But drugs like heroin, benzos (used recreationally and not to treat anxiety), cocaine/crack, and even alcohol....yeah I'm not convinced that these could be used to make one's quality of life better.
 
It really does depend on the drug.
Marijuana has given me a lot of good times, but it's also occasionally caused me to become entirely too paranoid and give me substantial anxiety.

Shrooms are my single favorite drug, because they were built for bonding with others. They are the drug that most changed my thought processes.

I never smoked enough DMT to fully blast off, but I still got intense visuals and euphoria. I had heard it could reshape your outlook and really hoped it would improve mine at the time.

I don't enjoy LSD that much. If I take enough hits to get really powerful visuals (4 is when shit really gets nuts for me), I get extreme anxiety and end up having to abort with a benzo.

I've noticed that, for me at least, drugs provide a much better experience when taken with other people who are close to you. Most unpleasantness that I have experienced on any given drug has occurred when I use alone.
 
Drugs have made me feel the best possible feeling in the world (MDMA, 4-FA, 2-FMA) but they have also made me feel the worst I've ever felt (bad mushroom trips, bad acid trip). The best possible feelings - if I had never tried drugs, I would not know those feelings exist.
As for the worst feelings, it's a learning experience, and I certainly learned from that!
Drugs can change your outlook on things and you can just learn from them.
And stimulants still help me be more productive when I'm feeling kinda bla :p

^i don't know if i agree with that or not..but you made me think about it, which is fun sometimes.
consuming illicit substances has caused me to od twice.
but it's also saved my life multiple times.
so. yes.
I think.
 
Drugs have made me come out so to speak, and not in the homosexual coming out kind of way. They have taught me so many invaluable lessons about life. I no longer look at life as a linear path straight to death. Life is open always but we will never realize it unless we face our fears and be open to the present moment, and drugs are just one of many ways to do this. I look at people, with their closely held convictions of certain groups of people and their beliefs, and can't help but smile inside. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Life is full of endless opportunities with so much to experience, why limit yourself and bind yourself down with your firmly kept ideologies.

This isn't you. You are a beautiful flower meant to blossom and see the sheer beauty of living and being. Respect yourself, don't limit yourself because of your thoughts. You deserve more credit than that.
 
Im pretty sure that I would be a different person today if I hadnt done drugs. Im much more open minded than I used to be when I was younger.

A person loses the love of their life... instead of killing themselves they go on a coke/alcohol binge with their friends, but they ultimately live and the drugs were a life saving distraction. Sure, sometimes the drugs are their downfall, but they didn't go out the cowards way.

Things like this happen a lot. Drugs never get credit. One of the best coping mechanisms in the world.

My freshmen year of college, dumb ass kid hung himself in my dorm hall because he cheated on his girl and she dumped him. He should have used drugs to cope, not a rope. We need like a "IV opiod Super Happy suicide hotline EMS sqaud".. shoot a few darts of that shit, and he'll come down off that ledge..

Yes, but only temporarily..

^temporary escape through drugs has worked for me several times.
that escape sure as hell never solved my problems ..
but was enough to carry me through feeling permanently trapped
in an overwhelming situation (or two.)

seriously - if they didn't work, a lot of us wouldn't be here.
