weed is just not my thing anymore. Used to love it, but when i started having panic attacks on it I knew, it just wasn't for me. Weird enough my favorite drug is LSD.
I agree with this 100% my normally very sweet friend just killed his girlfriend under the influence (by pulling out her trach) and under tremendous pressure. Alcohol brings out the evil in the best of people, and I'm sure he didn't realize she would die when he did it. Now she's gone and he's facing first degree murder, and it is amazing this is advertised everywhere from Billboard's, TV, etc. Don't know anything about Meth but Coke is dreadful and causes me to have instant panic attack. Opiates are available in Switzerland for the addicted (and the rate of abuse there is 83% less than in the US). I had a vicious reaction to Buspar.Heyoka said:I agree with this 100%. On sept 7th, I gave myself a big pat on the back for manageing to abstain from "Instant Asshole" aka Alcohol for 4 years.
It just seems wrong that they'll put me in prison if I pick the local mushrooms that have deepened my appreciation for humility and compassion yet I'm freely encouraged by TV/Radio/billboards and print advertisements to partake of a substance that can induce reckless and potentially violent behaviour in even the meekest of us.
I've got to rank methamphetamine and cocaine second and third.
Opiates slide in a distant fourth but this is primarily due to the societal reaction to them. If opiates were more available to the trully addicted and maintenance doses encourage while allowing easy access to effective , cheap and stigma free treatment programs, I'd take'em off the list entirely.
I also loathe any drug that induces desperation or serves primarily as a stopgap measure of avoiding dealing with emotional pain. Eventually, we have to deal with the pain or it reproduces like rabbits.
