Why do you do drugs?

[necro]

Necro, I'm going to have to call bullshit on that. People will notice heroin in their weed. Someone's is going to get pissed off and fuck that dude up unless he's selling to only idiots or small children (which in that case he should be hung). Is this some high school punk? I'm sure he told you that, but if he sells to more than a couple of people or friends, someone's going to get pissed. I and pretty much every single smoker I know would be severely pissed.

Ah, as a matter of fact, he was like 17 at the time, and I was 13, just coming into the years of adolescent debauchery. So the kids I had to deal with at that point were all less than 18, except for the big daddy of the grow operation.

These days, I don't get ahold of anything bunk. I know the exact room where my weed is grown, so I'm not even concerned. Though, I will agree that if I found out that someone was lacing my weed now, I would probably resort to violent tendencies. I live my life with the "no pills, no powders" policy, so if someone is spiking my grass with something...well, 'nuff said.

I've personally gotten ahold of laced weed a few times. One dealer I used to go to way back in the day had a grow setup in his basement...like a whole freakin Hydro lab. It kicked ass. I got in good with the guy who was selling it and he eventually let me in on it that he laced the weed with heroin so people got extra fucked up and came back. Half the time, non-smokers and even smokers think that people lace weed to get them addicted, or physically dependent.

Your guy probably lied. There are so many reasons even a marginally intelligent person would not do this.

I think it's more "If I can get weed that fucks me up way more for the same price...duh?"

Perhaps I'm assuming way too much about this guy's clientele, but an opiate high feels nothing like weed. Aside from the fact that it wouldn't be viable economically to "get people extra high for the same price," it seems like anyone with half a brain would realize that their weed was laced and complain.

So, in support of the "weed is evil because it gets laced" D.A.R.E. claim, we have:

- A person whose brother-in-law is a total cocksucker ( he could have at least said, "hey, this weed makes me hear voices," or "I threw a lil angel dust in these joints").

- A report of a minor who claims to lace his weed with heroin before selling it, in order to cause his buyers to become addicted to his stash.

In opposition to the D.A.R.E. laced weed stance we have:

- Adult smokers, some of which have been smoking for 13+ years, who have never bought, nor have any friends who have ever purchased any laced marijuana.

- Logic. It's not practical. It's not cost effective and would cause a lot of issues with buyers who for the most part want uncontaminated product.

- Weed is mostly sold in sack form and not prerolled. Lacing is general done during the rolling process, otherwise thinks tend to get a bit messier.

What have we learned from this? Don't trust brother-in-laws who offer you weed on a boat? Don't buy weed from 17 year old punks who buy a kit and think they are hot shit?

The only thing I can claim at this point is inexperience. At the time, I had only been smoking pot for a little while, and didn't know much about anything drug related. And to this day, I don't know what an opiate high feels like in itself, because I've never done anything deliberately, other than acid, weed...and I did try adderall a few times. But either way, the biggest doom to a druggie is being uneducated on the substances you're taking.

So basically; before you go do drugs, Wiki that shit and see what's up.

Man, that's deep. You're really cool.

Necro, I'm with Jung and Centered, that guy was lying to you teenagers. Lying through his fucking teeth.

that right there is almost Sig worthy. (and only after 5 posts, nice)

I smoke weed because it makes me feel good about everything.

[BeanBurrito]

I would probably get some PCP if someone offered it to me. I just see it as a dissociative hallucinogen like ketamine or salvia. Every drug can be used responsibly.

I dunno about that. Maybe if you were locked in a padded room:


There's another story about a man high on PCP eating his 4 year old's eyes out, going out back, and trying to cut his own legs off with an axe. It might just have to do with the dosage, but I would never touch that shit.

[beefjavelin]

Man fuck that fence, getting all up in his face and shit.

[RunningDeer]

I've been smoking grass off and on for years, and I can honestly say that




















What?

[KCBitchMomma]

Because my therapist says I need them. I have no reason to question his ethics, integrity, or education. I'm still alive and haven't killed anyone yet. That alone proves his treatment is working.

Wait...did you mean like "illegal" drugs, or legal drugs that can be sold for stupid amounts of money to people that don't actually need them? I "do" the latter kind. They're prescription, probably would get people "high" that don't need them, but for me...they just make me feel normal. Whateverthefuck "normal" is...I'm guessing here.

And to answer the question "do I need them to live?" Hmm. I'm not sure if I need them to live, but the people around me probably need me to do them so THEY can live. Does that count?

[dustinzgirl]

I had a therapist that had me so doped up that I slept 16 hours a day. I questioned her and I've been fine since. So it depends on your therapist.

[KCBitchMomma]

DG, you're absolutely right....as always, of course.
