when you first did drugs

Verbatim · July 12, 2015, 07:54:15 PM

(if you've ever done any drugs at all)

what were you thinking?

you realize that's, like, really dumb, right

but no, seriously, what were you thinking

R o c k e t · July 12, 2015, 07:54:58 PM

I realize that, which is why I haven't

Does pot count? It's legal here.

I've never tried drugs, but I look forward to trying marijuana. I've heard ecstasy and LSD are awesome.

it's an honest question

i can't imagine ever wanting to do drugs, ever, so...

There are quite a few recreational drugs that are very safe.

I don't care enough about my health to even consider that as a factor. And besides, weed is pretty much harmless, anyway.

You mean illegal drugs or just shit like alcohol?

But your claim is that they harm your brain, so you kinda seem to care about it.

Mat Cauthon · July 12, 2015, 08:06:33 PM

I don't do drugs, I don't drink or smoke either.
I'm not as vehement about them as you, but I agree with your views on them.

i care about people using drugs, yes

i don't care whether it's harmful or not

just because something is harmless doesn't mean it's not stupid or ill-advised

But your argument for its stupidity is that it's harmful. Well if it's not harmful, then how is it stupid?

I don't mean to. I'm going off of your statement, "what goes into the mindset of 'i'm gonna play around with the most precious and valuable organ in my body' "

Aether · July 12, 2015, 08:15:07 PM

I thought, "shit my lungs. . ." and then I wondered when the high was supposed to happen. I didn't experience my actual first high until the third time I smoked pot. I didn't just give up because I knew there was more to it than what I had felt and I wanted to experience that at least once in my life.

You can say I'm stupid, but I don't really care. All the experience I've had with drugs has helped me learn and understand things I probably never would have otherwise with the way my life was heading. Tbh though I do have slight psychonautical tendencies that have put me in places I probably shouldn't have gone at the time if you get what I'm saying.

Eh, you live and you learn.

Now wait just a minute.

You're against suffering (who isn't). Weed makes people happy. It's relatively harmless.

Why would you be against something that makes people happy and doesn't harm them?

please
weed doesn't make you happy

meeting an old friend makes you happy
finishing a project makes you happy
receiving a compliment makes you happy
watching a good movie makes you happy
playing a fun game makes you happy
seeing a loved one makes you happy

lots of things make you feel happy, and for a good reason

weed is a drug
that makes you happy
but only artificially

are any of your problems solved when you smoke weed?
do any of your projects get finished?

are you honestly genuinely happy?

no

meeting an old friend releases dopamine

watching a good movie releases dopamine
playing a fun game releases dopamine

lots of things release dopamine and for a good reason

weed is a drug
that releases dopamine
in the same way that food or pleasurable activities do

are any of your problems solved when you experience dopamine from anything?

are you honestly genuinely happy?

Yes

Sorry about doing this immediately after you asked me to not put words into your mouth, but your appeal to nature is pretty silly.
