I get a good view of all the car crashes safe up here on the fence
Too bad Mr Plod and his trusty nightstick feel differently to you on that one...
May I be the dissenting judge here, and not to piss on people with a moral superiority or to troll the thread however......
I don't have lines.
I've said i don't want to hurt people but I know my actions hurt plenty of people (99% of it unintentionally). Hell my lifestyle alone is destroying the planet, along with the billion other people in the western world. Sure I don't intentionally go out bashing people for drugs but equally I give my money to some really bad people who have no problem hurting, killing or worse, those who threaten their operation. I probably wouldn't give money to Neo Nazis but at the sametime I'm more than happy to buy heroin that has resulted in the death of people in the production, transport and security of the operation involved to get it from field to my arm. I'd say this applies to everyone who buys drugs from the professional blackmarket (as opposed to the amateurs/do it yourself).
See i could say I wouldn't whore myself out for drugs but thinking back to my younger years I used to have no problems in providing someone company (or more) in return for them getting me high.....(just a matter of looking at it). Certainly the idea of whoring myself out professionally isn't a new one.
I thought i wouldn't steal but I don't mind theft on the basis of a) getting away with and b) knowing that the person I was stealing from had plenty, I'd do it. Sharing needles. hmmm sadly i've done that, by accident. Didnt want that to happen but hey it did and that was with all of the best intentions. I can say that I won't cross that line but hey that's what I said last time.
ROEs, well I've done them all and plus some and find the addiction isn't in the ROE but in the person and their brain chemistry. Some people have no addiction from IV heroin and bam a decade later there off and flying shooting with the best. Which leads me to my next point. Drugs are drugs as with computing gaming, eating, stamp collecting. Some drugs are a little more immediate in their effect but the one guarantee to addiction isn't the drug you take but your brain chemistry. Nothing more nothing else.
Environment, usually in neonatal stages and and genetics dictate our susceptibility to addiction. Behaviour and or the actual drug are/is simply a mechanism to force the flood of certain neurotransmitters in our brains where we are currently lacking.
I have no judgement for anyone who crosses a supposed line in order to get high. They, we are just sick people (addicts that is, as opposed to people who can take drugs and not get addicted to them).
I blame the society that creates monsters who do truly bad things to get high. It shouldn't be that hard to scratch that itch but it is.
Good post. People talking here about lines are just going on about vague ideas they have of stuff they don't think they want to ever do. They could change their mind tomorrow and then their future self won't give a flying fuck what they thought yesterday. Hell, they could change their minds in 5 minutes.
You're never the same in any two different moments, and the most recent moment is the one calling the shots. So good luck fooling yourself about there being a line you would never cross.
