lets be honest - who uses drugs to escape reality

[@lterEgo]

I was reading the "why did you get high today" thread for a few pages, and I was sort of disappointed at the replies I found.

Do you any of you believe there is anything real and substantial and positve you can get out of altering your conciousness?

there's a combined thread with a lot of discussion about the reasons people do drugs.

let's add this "what do you get out of drugs" thread to the mix.

 

[morbyss]

ALCOHOL - getting drunk is the ultimate reality escape, almost everything sucks about it other than the social lube and the getting away factor
CIGARETTES - i like to smoke when i am drunk or want to be higher and dont have much weed left. i personally am not a fan of them just because my lungs are fucked already, i dont like the other health risks, i dont like spending money, and the nicotine buzz will diminish
MARIJUANA - I LOVE MARIJUANA!!!!!
MUSHROOMS - I dont really use it as an escape, just as a great way to have the greatest times of my life
COCAINE - if someone offers me a line, i'll take it. but i hate spending so much damn money for a little bit
HYRDOCODONE/OTHER OPIATES - the 2nd best escape. you can have a great high from just sitting there a doing nothing. definently great for when i know i'll be bored
ADDERALL - only used to keep me away, i hate taking them to get fucked up because i can't snort them and swallowing them sucks
BENZOS - i don't see them around very much, but when i do they always are a lot of fun

really can't think of too much more right now
