Post 14 - Un-knowledgeable

Some people are so un-knowledgeable about drugs. And it seriously drives me crazy. I mean both drug users and non drug users.

I research what I'm putting into my body, I test my stuff, and I know where it's coming from. I will *very rarely* just put random stuff into my body (I did a couple times in the beginning but I have learned from that!).

People who have been using for much longer than I do are fine with doing three caps of mdma in a night, two nights a week, every weekend. Seriously? I don't know how they have managed to do this for years!!!

And I have a friend who mixes GHB and Ketamine which everyone who uses either SHOULD know that they make you g-out way too quickly. We are always having to look after him and it's just plain annoying! Even though he's been using much longer than I have, I told him to stop doing that after he g-ed out for the first time. I told him to stick to one per night, either G or K, but not both. Next time we're out, he does both again! Annoying.

Some drug users are completely ignorant about any drugs they don't use. You know what, I don't know anything about opiates. Or heroin. I've never used them. But I don't just go by the myths. There is this girl who used to be addicted to heroin, now she does mdma, coke, and ghb from time to time. She's been telling me all these myths about acid which is, to be honest, a lot safer than her drugs. Only a mental risk and only if you do large doses or something.

I hate having discussions with non drug users. A friend of mine was telling me that mdma and ecstasy were the exact same thing. I tried to explain that no, mdma was powder in capsules and ecstasy was a pressed pill and nooo he went onto wikipedia and believed that! Obviously wikipedia is true. The thing is, he's a really smart guy but he just doesn't believes all these myths about drugs. He also likes to go out and get so drunk that he pukes. Yeah, I'm the "bad" one.

And my sister continuously tells me how weed kills brain cells. Yeah, okay, like that has been disproved sooo long ago!!

I hate people who think they know everything. Like seriously, if I don't know something, I will just admit it. I'm not going to try to lecture you on opiates because I don't know anything about them. Or even another subject. I'm not going to pretend I know everything about basketball because I know nothing about it! So I will just admit that I don't know it.

I really wish I knew a way to give these people the truth ... to get rid of these myths ... if anyone has any ideas please tell me!
 
Just gentle education works well. Some people can't be told, but if you constantly have to watch over someone because they're being irresponsible, perhaps you should tell them that their irresponsible use is burdening others. Or something :)
 
Hah yeah, with that friend I'm not going to constantly watch over him ... just annoying that he doesn't listen. He parties without me, not sure how he makes it through then!

Gentle education ... I try!! I try!! I wish I could tell everyone the truths ... have them forget about the myths ... stupid anti drug people in school ... :(
