i've had some experiences with drugs. I have a question to ask everyone:
ultimately, are drugs worth it?
Inevitably, you've had some bad experiences that you wouldn't want to repeat, but overall, have drugs improved your life? if you could change the past, would you have never gotten involved in the scene? it's a pretty deep question, but please answer it honestly. here is another question directed especially to long-time users: i know from personal experience that it's fun to get high, but was it worth it when you took that first hit and your path in life changed so drastically? i'm interested in hearing a real perspective from real people.

which drug?
(but in most cases, no)

Was it worth it for me? NO, definetly not long term. Well maybe they made me cooler, but other than that they have definetly done more damage than anything.

Different answers for different substances.
On the whole, it's been a positive thing.
The most notable point being the way in which acid gave me a new "religious" outlook.
Ebola
np: Skinny Puppy
 
I don't regret a single drug I've taken. They've all amused me greatly .... And I haven't had any bad effects, longterm or short term.... The reason why I think that I am ok with my drug taking is because I dont take them that much and I only do a few, though I've tried many. But I don't think I will be taking drugs the rest of my life.

Your chances of getting hit by lightning go up if you stand under a tree, shake your fist at the sky and say "Storms suck!".
 
interesting. for the people that said they regret becoming involved with drugs, are you referring to drug USE or drug ABUSE? is there anything wrong with drug use in moderation?
 
I don't have any regrets either. Maybe it's a gender thing

sh0ck3r,
You sound like a reporter for a magazine or dateline.
Drugs are like anything else in life - Too much of anything isn't good for you. In my mind there is no USE or ABUSE. If your using the drug to get high , then wouldn't that be abuse? Threre is addiction , which is what most people mean by abuse , but they are different to me. Sky diving is fun , but the more you do it the greater your chances of falling to your doom. Like I said , drugs are like anything else in life and should be treated the same way.
 
well, with drugs like lsd/shrooms, they have a common purpose for most people. people use them recreationally, moderate amounts in some cases could be considered "use" and not "abuse." i guess it depends on your perspective. oh yeah, and i'm not some fucking reporter. i'm only 16. if i was a reporter, i'd probably be posing as a stoner by acting like an uneducated moron like you believe most drug users are. anyway...
 
Personally, I'd say that my drug experiences almost exactly echo desiredgirls...
But to reply to something Kane said, namely,
If your using the drug to get high , then wouldn't that be abuse?
Click to expand...
, I'd like to say that I wholeheartedly DISagree with that statement. For many drugs, particularily illegal ones, what point is there to doing drugs OTHER than getting high? The term "abuse" applies to a MIS-use of something which has a more valid, other use. This is NOT the case with many substances. I would say that using drugs to get high is merely that - using drugs. They DON'T have another purpose. Only using drugs to excess or too frequently so that self-destrucion of some sort occurs is "abusing drugs", IMO.
 
If I was a reporter and I wanted to do an article on teen drug use then I would go to Bluelight. BSFA
I'd say my statement was mis-understood. I am not saying that all drug use is ABUSE , but that there is no difference between use and abuse , but addiction.
I believe that drug abuse is flushing an ounce of nugget down the toilet.

I don't regret any of the drugs I've done, although sometimes I wish I hadn't smoked so much weed for the past couple years so I'd remember more of my experiences (with girlfriends and shit like that), but then again I've always had a bad memory.
Had a near death experience in may (not drug related), and while in the hospital I realized that I'm incredibly glad I had all my drug experiences and lived my life they way I did, and would never take them back. Figured you might as well have fun while you can cause you might die suddenly out of the blue at any time. Plus it's hard to beat rolling your ass off all night, coming home, smoking a lot of weed and having sex for hours.
 
>>what point is there to doing drugs OTHER than getting high
do gain a new perspective or some previously unknown self-knowledge?
Ebola
np: System

that right there is one reason i will never regret all the nites ive dropped e and done that!
but seriously, i dont regret the dreugs ive done, just the amount, cuz like, i can see its made me a bit dumber in some ways...ever just totally forget wtf ur doin..? happens all the time but really, i think drugs have changed me in the better, i have a more open mind and well...ive just been to places aint nobody ever gonna go without drugs!! they just take u to a whole new reality and world oftentimes...
------------------
Because i like to do lots of fuckin drugs and get fucked up ok!
 
My drug experiances for the most part have been positive and enlightening. I have NO regrets. There have been fun times and there have been learning times. I acept both and treasure both. There is an addiction factor that people need to be aware of and to be careful of. But as long as you are knowledgable and careful you should be fine.

My goal has always been to not use a drug if I would regret it later. As such, I only take a new drug when I am ready to accept the experience. Overall, I think using drugs has opened me to a whole new world and allowed me to meet a new and interesting crowd of people.
And by the way, this isn't some big ego trip in which I claim to get an awakening every time I use drugs. I also use drugs because I just like being out of my mind.
