Don't have a stroke.

[my3rdeye]

I had a stroke last year at 37. I did coke around a week before, so it wasnt like coke caused it. When the doctor asked me all the drugs i did in last year the list was pretty epic but the stroke was caused by a tear in my neck artery caused by intense coughing and or vomiting during nasty flu virus. Now i am afraid to do any drugs but weed or acid or shrooms, and i still drink. The MDMA here is garbage and had pretty much lost its magic for me anyway, i never did speed, coke i don't miss. But i dont know about K or GHB, not because i heard anything bad, but because i just dont know. Now for the rest of my life i will worry about the potential a drug will have to cause a stroke. While healthy people can do a little research and be fairly safe i have to search for any evidence a substance might be stroke causing. For RC's the stuff will probably be long banned before any solid information is even in. Its easy to say coke/speed/mdma is dangerous for me, but almost impossible to say what is "safe". I saw someone in another thread say they were heart attack survivor and super paranoid about anything that raised blood pressure or caused vasoconstriction (sp?), brother i hear you.
My friends all quit acid a long time ago, but i am back into it. I just think something that never killed anyone is unlikely to kill me either. It doesnt have the same sort of body load feel i get from other chems. I have dropped at least ten times since the stroke and it feels safer than drinking. I hope this post wasn't depressing to read, if anything the LSD continues to amaze me with its awesomness, and i am pretty happy. And complaining i cant do other drugs is lame when other people had much more severe strokes than I did and cant walk or feed themselves.
