Its a common misconception that if one uses drugs they are a fuckup. the fundamental difference is drug use vs. drug abuse. I consider myself a drug user, getting high at night before i play video games, or when going to a party. I use drugs to enhance free time, because it is exactly that, free time. I dont go to classes high, and i dont study high, i dont even go to work high. I currently have a job and i am going to university, both of which are going very well, despite what you may think about my drug use. There is a line between time for work and time for play, and as long as you have some semblance of self control its not hard to maintain this separation.
A drug user finds themselves being blurred into the category of drug abuser once they feel the obligatory need to reach that high. Once you need to get high before work just deal with it, thats when there is a problem. That being said, there is a difference between need and want. Wanting to get high before a party or before u sit down to play eq is fine. Its your free time and no one should be able to tell you how to use it. Wanting to get high before work is fine as well, but you should recognize that this is not your free time, someone is paying you for that time, respect that. The problem arises when you need to get high before anything, imo it might be time to take a step back and ask yourself if it truly is a requirement or not. And if the answer to that question is yes, then seek medical help. Doctors are there to help you, its their hippocratic responsibility to do so. Only when someone realizes they have an abuse problem, but chooses the drug over a healthy life would i classify them as a fuckup.

Although a drug user like myself might be a rarity, we do exist. I like to have a good time when able; but when it comes to important shit, like education, and later on a career, its a no brainer. It all comes down to priorities.

Bison... if you try a known addictive substance, then find later you are addicted, and can't quit, then you are a F-up. The problem with your rationalizations is that NO one knows if they are going to get addicted, only that they CAN get addicted based on historical data. Seems to me if you try something knowing it has a chance of screwing up your life forever, you're an F-up. Your post is similar to the reasoning I've heard from countless addicts I've known.. " I'm not addicted, I just like it." "I don't need it, I just want it."

The other great argument of drug losers is that "this study is a lie" or "that's just propaganda from Big Pharma." Take it from someone that worked in a field FULL of drug abusers for years: if you use drugs recreationally, you ARE an F-up. That includes alchohol, if you are consistantly drinking til you get buzzed.

I dont doubt that some people do find themselves addicted and fuckup their lives. From personal experience i can tell you, my rationalizations are not flawed. For the last 9 years ive taken every recreational drug listed on this poll (and some that arent listed such as PCP) several times. Knowing full well through historical data that most of them are extremely habit forming. I have yet to come close to anything like an addiction. You might ask yourself, "well if he is addicted, how would he know?" Simply put, even as i write this, i havent been high on a drug in over 3 weeks, and im fine with it. No DTs, no withdrawals. I havent had the time recently, with my job and midterms the last few weeks have required my full time. This is the fundamental difference between a user and an abuser.
Maybe im a fluke, or have an unnatural self control. I find it hard to believe that my self control levels are any higher than the normal person, considering i am very addicted to nicotine. Cigarettes imo are the worst substance to abuse. They dont get you high and when you go without them, you feel like shit, and ultimately the end result is a gasping death.

The vast majority of people who use drugs do so recreationally and are not addicts. These people of course do not make for good television and movies so all the media feeds us is the tiny minority of people who become addicts.

I was JK. Honestly, if I wasn't in the Army, didn't have a wife, and kid I would still be smoking.
I get spice every once in awhile, when I'm stateside (currently deployed, so no drugs/alcohol for a YEAR :()
But I agree with you 100%. I was working 2 jobs, going to school full time, and I use to smoke weed before EQ/quake/WoW time, or on weekends. I even dabbled with coke (during midterms and finals week to cram), and of course my FAVVVVVORITE drug would have to be either X or vicoden. I've done coke maybe 20 times in a matter of 5/6 years, X/V I took once or twice a week, weed nearly everyday, it was the only time I could sleep and eat, had some issues irl at that time.

I think everything from weed to heroin should be legal, let stupidity solve itself :)

TLDR? I agree with you, I use to be a drug user.

It makes me laugh how every drug thread has the drug users come out of the wood work and try try to convince everyone that drugs are so great.

"Dude, it has no negative effects and it actually does all this awesome stuff for you! All those studies that suggest it does do negative shit is just a fucking lie! It actually increases lung function, turn water into wine and find your fucking car keys!"

Personally, I don't care if you smoke, shoot up, whatever, but at least stop being in denial that your drug of choice is actually harmful, and you are an addict. You might handle it better than some, but you're still likely an addict.

Well said. I am kind of saddened that so many of the EQ fan base are a bunch of burnouts. I guess it is not surprising if you really think about it. I mean most are social rejects, seeing as how they sit around on a computer a majority of the time playing a game for hours on end. Many are probably unemployed...maybe from playing so much or they play so much cause they don't have a job. So it falls to reason that if you are a reject with no job (or some job that is minimum wage, while going to community college) they probably do "use" just to make themselves not want to kill themselves...lol. I mean I can't say I never tried stuff, but that was back in High School...where you all should have left it. If you are doing this stuff as an adult, then you really need to look at yourself and ask why? And please, don't get on here trying to justify why you do something that is illegal and bad for you physically, mentally, and for all of your relationships in life. It won't fly. Plus it makes you look like and addict...haha.

Why is it so hard for some people to separate use from abuse?

But I do agree there are no health benefits stemming from either use or abuse, but it's still a big difference between the two.

Cocaine is great for curing a toothache. Coca tea is great for curing an upset stomach (works better than Alka-Selzter or bismuth, by far) and behaves similar to yerba mate as an afternoon pick-me-up. Acetaminophen makes opiates more dangerous than they actually are -- and they [opiates] react differently in the brain depending on if there is pain stimuli or not. The best delivery method for opiates is latex (opium) because you'll likely pass out before overdosing and killing yourself. The itch is what bothers me the most with opiates, which can be handled by chlorphenamine maleate (and as a bonus it can intensify the opioid reaction making it so you use less.)

Recreational use, cocaine is probably the only thing I'd consider in the long term. The high is so short that if it came down to it, you could be completely lucid without the clogged ears or tunnel vision in a matter of minutes. Everyone should have an LSD analogue (not actual LSD since most of you are probably unstable and it'd just draw out your anxieties more) once in their life in a nice calm environment too -- life is all about experiences and it certainly enables you to think differently. You'll want a sitter that isn't going to grill you with questions or be a buzzkill in general, and will just be there just in case.

That being said, I prefer to take Tramadol over Hydrocodone for the nerve damage in my heels, though I have refillable prescriptions for both. I hate having mind fog, and when it comes to most body highs associated with the favored drug here (cannabis) and MOST substances -- it feels like liver overload. I don't see a point in simulating half of the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy for a recreational purpose; we're all going to die some day, and I don't think a preview showing is the smartest of ideas.

That is truly the lamest argument ever. Comparing treatment by a licensed physician for an illness to abusing illegal drugs...really? Taking legal medicine to get rid of a headache or a runny nose it vastly different than shooting up heroine so that you can feel high.

I assume you mean pain meds and prescribed pot. As to that, I would say it is wrong. A doctor most often times (if they care about their license) will only prescribe a limited amount of meds per incident, so as not to have the patient develop a habit. If they have a chronically ill patient or one who is constant pain, then the will obviously give refills. Those patients however are very few and more than likely not taking the meds to get high. They would be taking them to manage the pain. For those that buy legal drugs from others to get high on, well that is illegal. So at that point they become illegal drugs. they did not get a prescription for the drug therefore it is not legal for them to have them...hence illegal drug.

Wrong. People without perspective believe there is such a thing as a recreational drug user.

True story: A friend of mine ODed on heroin in 1992. Another is now in jail for trying to pass a fake script at a Walgreens after becoming hooked on pain meds and using Meth. Guess what they used to say all of the time? Dude, I only smoke pot on the weekends. What's the big deal? I can stop anytime I want. Just cause you smoke weed doesn't mean you are going to do hard core shit.

I can see past your bullshit lies and theories. Drugs are illegal for a reason. You can think you are cool and badass for doing them. You can think they make you seem more cutting edge that other people; that you are somehow wiser and more in tune with the ills of society and the way things work due to your insight. (kind of funny since almost everyone on here has done the same crap before...thing is, they outgrew it when the got out of high school.) But you can keep up the bullshit all you want. I am done with you. I can't change the mind of an addict. Trust me I tried many times in the past, and with people I actually cared about, not some troll.

Look dude: I understand that prohibition protects those of weak constitution from becoming addicted. But why should my habit be criminalized when I can exercise the self-control to not be a menace to society?

Where I came up it was the norm to shoot up on a daily basis, and none of the heroin heads I know ever did anything wrong on account of their hobby. And let's not even get into the amph-heads, many of whom could buy and sell you today on account of all the shit they got done thanks to their habit.

Look dude: I understand that prohibition protects those of weak constitution from becoming addicted. But why should my habit be criminalized when I can exercise the self-control to not be a menace to society?

Where I came up it was the norm to shoot up on a daily basis, and none of the heroin heads I know ever did anything wrong on account of their hobby. And let's not even get into the amph-heads, many of whom could buy and sell you today on account of all the shit they got done thanks to their habit.

When I was 18 I had never even smoked pot. I was aimless, working shitty jobs, and had no focus.

Over the past 4 years I began experimenting with drugs and still participate in doing anything besides "the big 3" (crack, heroin, meth). I'm a straight-A college student with a much more stable and fulfilling life.

I'm not saying that I'm more successful because of drug use, but not everyone who does drugs is a hopeless addict.

If you can practice moderation and educate yourself on what you're doing, you should reap the benefits of occasional drug use. Otherwise, you should probably stay away. I know someone who had a religious experience while on acid and became a buddhist and is currently serving in the peace corps; and I know someone who let themselves become completely ruined by heroin. It all depends on the person.

I suppose you're also firmly against the use of modern medicine/medical facilities regardless of your ailments.

Truly, the use of such things is only to convince yourself you're not sick, not dying, not unhappy.

Not really. The use of penicillin has nothing to do with convincing yourself of anything. It's introduced to the body in order to combat bacterial infections. It's curative in nature, along with most modern medicines and medical therapies. It's not about convincing yourself you're not sick, not dying, not unhappy. It's about preventing you from being sick, or dying.

Now, there are certain modern medications that are designed to minimize unhappiness. Anti-depressants and pain-killers, for instance. But these are meant to be used in moderation, as prescribed by a medical professional, in order to eliminate discomfort. In the case of pain-killers, yes -- you're convincing yourself you're not in pain. But if they are prescribed correctly, that's because you should be in extraordinary, debilitating discomfort without them -- not because daddy didn't give you enough hugs and you need to check out mentally for awhile.

But nonetheless, my point remains the same. I didn't necessarily say I was against drug use. I just said that if you're breaking the law and blowing significant amounts of cash on drugs in order to manipulate your brain chemistry to convince yourself you're happy, then you have a problem -- addicted or not. I fail to see how that reflects upon modern medicine. If you utilize modern medicine to cure an ailment, it's completely unrelated. If you use modern medicine to treat an issue like depression or pain, then yes -- just like an illegal drug user, you clearly have a problem. But I'd argue that taking prescription medications as advised by a medical professional with years and years of experience is a bit more responsible than hitting up a pharmacy operating out of some dude's Toyota.

#1 I don't use any drugs. I just think your worldview is completely off base.

#2 Alcohol is a drug. There is no way that you can call someone who smokes pot once a week an 'addict' and not consider alcohol to be a drug, sorry.

#3 Since not all drinkers smoke pot, and not all smokers drink, the union of the populations must be over 2/3rds...aka a "vast majority" of the US population. If you want to point to international statistics I suggest you take your own advice and move to a country with a population that is more in line with your views.

Finally, there is a distinction between people who don't use drugs, and people who are against their use. I'm the latter and not the former.

Yes. I do believe the vast majority of people are stupid because they believe in god.

I like how you clump god and not doing drugs together, as if the two are mutually exclusive. The use of peyote has been used in numerous native american religions, as a way to attune themselves with their god. The choice to use or not use drugs has nothing to do with intelligence, its a personal preference. The choice to believe in an intelligent creator when everything modern science tells you is contrary to that, is blind ignorance.

The vast majority is hardly a infallible source. Hell, at one point in time, the 'vast majority' believed the earth was flat, and the center of the galaxy. Leave it to a mindless sheep to follow the vast majority just so they can feel a part of something. (regardless of how ignorant that something is.)

PS: Is it supposed to be profound that modern drug laws are based on formerly racist legislation? Just about every law in America was, at some point or another, affected by racism. That doesn't mean The Man is illegalizing cocaine to keep the black man behind bars. Cocaine has been essentially illegal in this country for 85 years. The ideology of outlawing cocaine is unrelated to the practical implementation of the ban.

Which one is it? Am i "a dime a dozen" or are "most everyone not like me."

First of all, I view any consolidation of power as a bad thing. IMO "the state" is completely superfluous to the whole 'system'. The state offers its citizens nothing that a free market system cant better and for a lower cost. The only thing 'the state' offers is a pre-existing hierarchy of power, making it that much easier for corrupt leaders to fuck things up. The hardest part of ruining a society is gathering and consolidating power, and the current system has done all that leg work for them!

Second, I have yet to ever go on anything that could be classified as 'welfare.' That includes unemployment, and food stamps. I actually find it funny that when you detect any inclination of disdain for current govt. you immediately resort to the "That evil govt you hate takes care of you, you freeloader!" argument. Its getting a little old IMO.

Finally, I personally love corporations, they epitomize everything good about capitalism.

I find your arguments seriously lacking substance. Which is surprising, considering they are coming from someone who claims to have a political science degree.

Not a very well thought-out point of view. Is a free market system going to provide public schooling? How about welfare? Foreign defense? Laws? Law enforcement? Public roads? Public transportation? Health care?

You want to see why a free market system doesn't work? Look outside. If it weren't for the state, the market economy of the most wealthy, most powerful nation in the world would have crumbled overnight. The derivatives market went from next to nothing in 2001 to over $60 trillion by 2008. Do you understand how insanely irresponsible that is? $60 trillion is like the entire world's annual GDP. The money didn't exist. The whole market was being fueled by what was essentially a Ponzi scheme. That's what you get with a free market. Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Bernie Madoff -- it's all the same. They're trading money they don't have. It was always only a matter of time before it came crashing down, but hey: everyone got rich.

I beg to differ, Anarcho-Capitalism is a very well though out point of view. All the things youve listed here can be considered economic goods. If the state were to no longer off public schools, welfare, foreign defense, law enforcement, public roads/transportation, or health care, I can guarantee that some private businesses would offer them. I can say this with certainty because there is money to be made off of each and everyone of these services. One might argue that the services offered privately would be shotty in comparison to what the state currently offers. This is a valid argument, but consider the nature of capitalism; you want to offer the very best product at the absolute lowest price possible. Competition will drive the price down, while simultaneously driving quality up.

If you are truly interested in this line of thinking I'd recommend a book by Dr. Phillip D Friedman, called The Machinery of Freedom. Its a direct cost/benefit of a state vs no state society. And like all good anarcho-capitalist literature its available free on-line! The biggest concern most people show when discussing an anarcho-capitalist society is how will laws and law enforcement be handled. People want to feel protected, and dont mind sacrificing a few freedoms if it means guaranteeing this. This is a valid concern, but instead of diving into a 10 page dissertation of laws and law enforcement on the free market, ill direct you to this link, which has done all the work for me.

Except coke is a dirty, unhealthy, addictive drug; whereas mdma is (if you don't get shitty product) cleaner, non-addictive, and way more fun.

Cocaine is for frat parties and blacks.

I beg to differ, Anarcho-Capitalism is a very well though out point of view. All the things youve listed here can be considered economic goods. If the state were to no longer off public schools, welfare, foreign defense, law enforcement, public roads/transportation, or health care, I can guarantee that some private businesses would offer them. I can say this with certainty because there is money to be made off of each and everyone of these services. One might argue that the services offered privately would be shotty in comparison to what the state currently offers. This is a valid argument, but consider the nature of capitalism; you want to offer the very best product at the absolute lowest price possible. Competition will drive the price down, while simultaneously driving quality up.

If you are truly interested in this line of thinking I'd recommend a book by Dr. Phillip D Friedman, called The Machinery of Freedom. Its a direct cost/benefit of a state vs no state society. And like all good anarcho-capitalist literature its available free on-line! The biggest concern most people show when discussing an anarcho-capitalist society is how will laws and law enforcement be handled. People want to feel protected, and dont mind sacrificing a few freedoms if it means guaranteeing this. This is a valid concern, but instead of diving into a 10 page dissertation of laws and law enforcement on the free market, ill direct you to this link, which has done all the work for me.

You remind me of that college dude in the bar scene in "Good Will Hunting". The one that regurgitates crap that he read in a book or parrots the same exact thing that his professor told him in class. Do you have original thought....ever!

Lol, can we say "grasping at straws?" Im guessing this is supposed to show us that our personal choices are wrong in the eyes of society? Your arguments have degraded into feeble attempts to push morality onto us now. Weak mind is weak.

Feeble attempts at morality? I just wanted and answer to the question. If anything I was wanting to show the "illegality" of the thing, not the morality. Not as smart as you think you are huh? LMAO.

Which one is it? Am i "a dime a dozen" or are "most everyone not like me."

First of all, I view any consolidation of power as a bad thing. IMO "the state" is completely superfluous to the whole 'system'. The state offers its citizens nothing that a free market system cant better and for a lower cost. The only thing 'the state' offers is a pre-existing hierarchy of power, making it that much easier for corrupt leaders to fuck things up. The hardest part of ruining a society is gathering and consolidating power, and the current system has done all that leg work for them!

Second, I have yet to ever go on anything that could be classified as 'welfare.' That includes unemployment, and food stamps. I actually find it funny that when you detect any inclination of disdain for current govt. you immediately resort to the "That evil govt you hate takes care of you, you freeloader!" argument. Its getting a little old IMO.

Finally, I personally love corporations, they epitomize everything good about capitalism.

I find your arguments seriously lacking substance. Which is surprising, considering they are coming from someone who claims to have a political science degree.

You are one of those tinfoil hat people aren't you?

2. Japan is owning most of you in this thread by using very few words. True internet JUDO

It is very internet trendy with people who want to appear rebellious and fringe. It is nothing more than a form of anarchy. Just like Bison's ideas on drugs, this has never been instituted anywhere in the world. You can argue that it has been practiced in a form in the past but it is not currently used anywhere. Why is that? And you do not need to be bright or think outside the bun to grasp it. It is all about the me ,me ,me mentality. Not surprising that most who believe in this are: social liberals, non-conformist, and atheist. Once again, if it is such a great idea, why is it not practiced anywhere? Are you saying that you are smarter than everyone else and they do not know how to institute the governments they have in their countries?

No, I think you trolled me...see I can do that too. Why is it trolling when you discuss something on a forum? Isn't that the reason people post things - to discuss an issue or topic? Then why is it that you accuse me of being a troll? Is it easier for your to call someone a name or accuse them of trolling, than it is to offer a retort? Does it make you feel like you "win" by dismissing someone or calling them a name? Whatever makes your e-peen grow I suppose. :D

Not surprising that most who believe in this are: social liberals, non-conformist, and atheist.

Social Liberals: Recognize the legitimacy of the state to provide services such as healthcare, unemployment, and education.
I find it hard to believe that someone who calls themselves a social liberal would align themselves with a group that recognizes no legitimacy for the state or any services it provides. These groups are in direct opposition with each other.

Non-Conformist: The refusal to conform.
Do I have to point out the subjectivity of this term? One can argue that Jesus was a non-conformist. Hitler could also be considered a non-conformist. George Washington is also a great example of what one could consider to be a non-conformist. On a smaller scale one could view a non-conformist as anyone who disagrees with them on a personal level. Following that line of thinking, you're a non-conformist.

Atheist - the rejection of belief in a deity.
I'm assuming this is supposed to be a bad thing somehow, although I fail to understand why.

Nice try.

Social Liberals - Post-left anarchy is a recent current in anarchist thought that seeks to distance itself from the traditional Left (communism, social liberalism, social democracy, etc.) and to escape the confines of ideology in general. It has rapidly developed since the fall of the Soviet Union, which many view as the death of authoritarian leftism; however, its roots are clearly visible in the ideas of the 1960's Situationists. It is not an independent "movement" as such but rather a critical way of thinking about anarchist ideas. Post-leftists frequently use the word anarchy instead of anarchism to avoid the -ism suffix's connotations of doctrine.

Non-conformist - check.

Atheist - check.

A couple days ago I might have changed my vote to adderall - seriously a miracle drug for studying. Rocking like 8-12 hour library session for the past week or so. However, after a week of taking it - I feel like death... seriously, I think I'm dying.

As far as users and addicts and what not - I think however someone chooses to spend their time is their own business. If someone wants to be homeless and beg, borrow or steal to get their fix, that is their decision and they'll have to live with it. If I want to skip class too often and then use amphetamine salts to binge study in the library for a week straight - that is my decision. Too many people in this world are concerned how others spend their lives. I think it's more pathetic that there are people in this world who devote their time and energy to dictating how others live their lives than the fact that some people are content being life long stoners.

So a quick google revealed http://www.anarchymag.org/node/8 as your source.

"Post-left anarchy is a recent current in anarchist thought that seeks to distance itself from the traditional Left (communism, social liberalism, social democracy, etc.) and to escape the confines of ideology in general"
Lets quickly evaluate what the first sentence is saying. It states "Post-left anarchy seeks to distance itself from the traditional left." and then goes on to give examples of what the "traditional left" could be considered "(communism, social liberalism, social democracy, etc.) " So ultimately what you linked as supporting evidence to your claim that anarchocapitalism and social liberals share common beliefs, is in reality, saying that an anarchocapitalism seeks to distance themselves from a social liberal beliefs.

I never got trolling. So, in a thread which someone claims to be trolling there are two possibilities:

a) the person who claims they were trolling wasn't, and is really just ignorant
b) the person who claims they were trolling was, and was simply acting ignorant to incite a response.

The commonality between option "a" and option "b" is ignorance. So that raises the question: what is worse, actually being ignorant or choosing to act ignorant?
